A friend gave me this for my birthday this year as an attempt to break me away from only doing cross stitch designs.
It worked, I absolutely love this book. The instructions are easy to follow and the finished products are simply adorable. So far, I have made a zombie duck that I have kept for myself. I made a zombie bride and groom as a quirky wedding present for a friend last month (don't worry, I gave them a 'proper' present as well) - there isn’t a groom in the book but I adapted the underta...more

Here is a warning for those of you with very young children. If you do something once, it becomes a "tradition." And just try NOT doing it again next year.
Example - Many years ago, I took two drawings my boys had done, made stuffed-felt interpretations of said drawings, and served them up as Christmas presents. They were a huge hit. The next year, they both drew pictures and expected me to bring them to "life" again. And the following year. And so on, until last year. Suddenly, they were too bus...more

Just in time for Halloween, Tedman and Skeate bring us this collection of creative crafts. Never in the history of ever have zombies looked quite so gosh-darn cute! Page after page of this attractive volume feature full-color photographs of mini-zombie felt creations, including a zombie bride, zombie vampire duck, a zombie pirate and many more.

When I spied this book a few weeks ago, I definitely knew that it was love at first sight. I like crafty things and had been looking for something fun and simple. I don't crochet, I forgot how to knit, I have an off-again/on-again relationship with cross-stitching - but when Zombie Felties boasted of not having any hard sewing involved, I signed myself up!
The designs presented are really hit-and-miss for me. I'm not sold on the idea of a Zombie Vampire or Undertaker - they almost look like what...more

I'm not huge into zombies or crafts, but somehow the two joining together compelled me. So I've made two of these little guys- the zombie puppy (rated with 1 skull indicating it was "easy") and the classic zombie, pictured on the cover (2 skulls).
While the basic materials to make the felties are cheap- felt was 29 cents a piece, and each skein of embroidery floss was 35 cents- and you don't need much of either of these things for each project. Since I am not particularly crafty, in the way of ma...more

I might attempt to make one of these for hubby's birthday as he is big on the whole zombie thing. Plus they look friggin' adorable in that zombie sort of way. The introduction/how to section is great for someone like myself who hasn't really sewn in years and is mostly self taught. The instructions look like they will be just as helpful. But we shall see...
I've made a few things from the book. I will say they are NOT child friendly at all. Some of them are NOT adult friendly either (the zombie baby with the needle for the lollypop stem comes to mind). The author is very clear that these are not safe to give to children, though they are easily altered to be child friendly (and sewer friendly as well).
This book is awesome! The cutest zombies you have ever seen! I love the fairy and the vampire myself. Perfect for making horrific holiday ornaments or making dolls that go bump in the night.
Super cute little zombie creatures! I haven't made any of them yet, but I've gone out and purchased most of the supplies. The Thrilla one is just adorable. ...You know, for a zombie.
These are super cute, but I was expecting them to be bigger. The finished zombies are only about 4", if that. They all look really easy to make, even the "3 skull" level ones.
Fun, didn't make them, but might some day. Some were a little hard to identify, a what? But cute.
Great little book for Halloween decorations or just Zombie anythings!
Easy to follow instructions for really fun projects!
Made several of the zombies and love them!
This cute little craft book has directions on creating little felt zombies. The best one? Michael Jackson and the duck. I'm not sure how many students would actually sit down and make these, but they could if directed to in art class or an after school program. There are directions on the basic stitches needed and the difficulty level of each project is noted by the number of skulls.

I am going to use this book for a crafts project for my teens here at the library. It's a pretty neat little book, and doesn't take a lot of materials to make a great project. It's quick and easy to do, and the step by step directions are great!
So far I've made two and they are fantastic! Can't wait to get started on the others!!
