Age: 11+
Description: This felting book includes projects for teens to make 16 different undead creatures, including animals (zombie dog, cat, duck), a zombie baby, a zombie surfer, a pumpkin head, vampire zombie, Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and even a template to make a felt coffin for your undead creation.
Opinion: The introduction goes into great detail the tools one will need and how to go about the basic stitches required to construct the monsters. Each zombie does require sewing (but this could be bypassed by using strong craft glue if doing as a program). Each project includes a list of what you need, a template that can be photocopied and cut out to measure the felt pieces, and detailed textual and pictorial step-by-step instructions. A favorite project is the Zombie Undertaker—he’s decked out in all black with cute skeletal fingers and his brains pouring out from under his tall hat.
