Handmade Horrors: 40 Upcycled Oddities Crafted from Spare Parts and Strange Ideas - Paperback

by Rachel Bennick (Author)

Let's Craft Something Weird . . . Just Because We Can

Transform your home into a house of curiosities filled with strange creations that range from creepy-cute to downright unsettling. With the help of beloved TikTok artist Gothorella, soda cans are resurrected into gleaming ribs and plastic bottles morph into skulls. Disembodied hands jut from the wall to cradle candlelight while fabric twirls into an undying bouquet for your undead love. Even donuts get a gruesome fleshy makeover . . . because why not?

Designed with beginners in mind, each project includes step-by-step images and relies largely on materials you already have at home, making them as accessible as they are affordable. And with so many different mediums to experiment with--from painting, cutting, and gluing to weaving, casting, and sculpting--there's a craft to satisfy every creative craving.

So peculiar crafters, beware and be ready as you step over to the delightfully dark side of DIY.
