A cabinet of curiosities made from everyday leftovers

Rachel Bennick’s collection brings together 40 DIY projects that turn spare household materials into eerie, playful decorations and objects. Soda cans, plastic bottles, fabric and other supplies become the basis for creations including skulls, candle-holding hands and a macabre-looking donut. The projects span a range of techniques—painting, cutting, gluing, weaving, casting and sculpting—and include step-by-step images. With many projects relying on materials already at home, the book connects upcycling with a distinctly spooky approach to mixed-media crafting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Crafters interested in spooky or offbeat home décor
  • Beginners seeking illustrated projects using accessible materials
  • Makers who want to experiment with varied mixed-media techniques

Book overview

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.
