From the crafty workshop of Donna Wilson comes this clever little bundle of Monster bits, for the aspiring Frankenstein, just in time for Christmas...



Spotted locally in Wellington, this bundle of felt bits, cotton, eyes, teeth and miscellaneous monster-bits allows the more demanding connoisseur of Monster Making to arrange and create their own ghoulish beast.

It's an awesome idea for the rainy days of summer, or the warm nights, or whenever your craft-fingers are tingling in anticipation of their next creation.  A peruse of Donna Wilson's website confirms stockists in Christchurch (Annex), Auckland (Tessuti), and of course the quintessential gift-shop of Wellington, Iko Iko.  You can order everything online, but you'll miss the under-the-tree deadline which is looming awfully quick.

For the more anti-establishment craft-folk out there, you can ditch the instructions and get a 'Make Something With Me' package too, which ups the randomness factor considerably.

Both products come with a warning to provide adult supervision, because in the hands of a free spirited 6-year-old, you're likely to end up with a savage felt creative that might bight your face off if you're not careful.  Garrr.
