What’s a creative goth to do to while away the long, cold dark hours of winter nights? There’s nothing to watch on TV: True Blood is off the air until June; both Being Human versions are on hiatus; and there’s no new Walking Dead episodes until February 12.
Might as well light a toasty warm fire, pour a glass of port or sherry, and settle in to create some adorably spooky goth crafts.
I love creating little felt dolls, but they’re never as cool as these zombie toys. I’d love to attempt the adorable felt vampire zombie.
Projects include skull earrings, a bones bracelet, Sweeney Todd earrings and of course a cross-shaped necklace.
I wish I had the patience to learn to crochet. I would totally make an undead Cinderella or Vampire Snow White fairytale scene using these patterns.
“Creepy Cute Crochet” is definitely too cutesey for my taste, though I appreciate that they include a Cthulhu pattern. The other patterns include Nosferatu, the devil, the cute Grim Reaper pictured on the front cover, and a Queen Vampire.
I adore paper crafting. It’s a bit less messy than other crafts, and the flat paper supplies typically are easier to store than say skeins of yarn or fabric. Here are several origami projects supposedly easy enough for even an eight year old. Everything you need is in the book. There are also some zombie tear-out posters included, though I’m not sure why.
