Haunted Miniatures Book Review | Spooky Craft Book by Ashley Voortman
Do you love to create art? If so you just might like this fun book by Ashley Voortman aka Peculiarly Ashley, you can find her on all the socials. Here is my review of Ashley’s newest book Haunted Miniatures where she teaches you can you can make your own creepy art.
If you’re into creepy crafts, miniature making, or Halloween décor, this book is an absolute blast.
Haunted Miniatures is packed with amazing spooky projects, and I was already sticking bookmarks everywhere before I even finished flipping through it. There are so many things I want to make!
One of my favorite things about this book is how easy it is to follow. The instructions are clear, detailed, and written with personality. They don’t read like a boring textbook, which makes the projects even more fun to work through.
The photography is fantastic too. Every project has beautiful, clear photos that make it easy to see what you’re creating while also giving you plenty of inspiration.
Another feature I loved is the templates. Having patterns included takes a lot of the guesswork out of the projects, especially if you’re new to making miniatures.
The book also includes helpful tip pages scattered throughout, and even the little skull decorations sprinkled around the pages add to the spooky charm. They’re such a fun touch and fit the theme perfectly.
Overall, I think Haunted Miniatures is an awesome addition to any spooky crafter’s bookshelf. Whether you’re looking for Halloween inspiration or just love creepy miniature projects, this book is packed with creative ideas and presented in a way that’s fun, easy to follow, and anything but boring.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
I can’t wait to start making some of the projects I marked! I’ll post my experiences making those on my blog Ebby Wolf. This is Ashley’s 2nd book, her first book is Creepy Crafts.
