Creepy Crafts

I am an artist and love to create things. But I prefer to create odd and strange things because it’s more fun. 馃檪 I had been watching Ashley Voortman on TikTok. Her videos are so much fun to watch. I always find myself thinking how I wish I could make stuff like that. So when I heard she had a book I just had to pre-order it, now that it has been released I have read it and really enjoyed it. I already bookmarked a few projects I want to try to make after I finish “Bob” my current project.

You can learn more about Ashley on her website.

Here are a few images of my WIP of “Bob.”

My Review

I enjoyed the book. I think that the book is really good. It is easy to read and the instructions are clearly written and it includes photos. The additions of photos gives it the top notch touch. I have read how to books before and they did not have photos, which I was not pleased about. But I am very happy that this book has the photos. I love the sass in the writing. I could hear her voice in my head as I was reading the words. The writing sounds/reads just like Ashley sounds in her TikTok videos. I am going to have so much fun making projects from this book. If you like creepy things and enjoy creating art I would recommend this book to you.
