Slightly spooky knife-block cutouts

Scary mummy knife-block monster

Mummy: “Hey! Watch where you put those!”

Scary Frankenstein knife-block monster

Frankenstein: “Hey, that’s my best jacket!”

I wanted to create a seasonally spooky project to end my short sabbatical from blogging (think Indiana Jones crossed with Scooby Doo) – I just hope these knife-block cutouts are not too spooky! Anyway, just to makes sure, I chose two well-known fictional characters, Frankenstein and the Mummy, both of whom it could be argued are not really alive anyway!

It’s a fairly easy project to make, but if you’d like to use my artwork you can download it below – also, the illustrations are intact (there’s no knife holes!) so feel free to use them for other spooky projects as well.

The ‘craft’ blogging community is a very generous one. A lot of people work very hard preparing projects to share (for free) and I for one would like to show my support by being a little more active in highlighting some of my favourites.

So, with that in mind I’d like to give Mini-eco a big shout out, and to tell you to visit Kate’s wonderful blog, and then to buy her wonderful book, highlighted below.

  1. I don’t know when I found your site, it’s been quite a while ago. Your RSS feed has been on top of my Google page and I’ve been so anxious to see some new project from you. Your artistry is amazing and when people tell me I’m artistic or creative I shake my head and tell them to look at your site. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. Now I gotta go finish reading this post.

  2. Another visitor via Craft Gossip – your work is amazing! My knife block is mummified for Halloween and there are a couple of other projects of yours I’m itching to try – thank you!

  4. I looked very often to this Blog. Your ideas are really great and I’m happy to see today your new crafts idea, it’s amazing and I’ll try it today because it’s a perfect way to pimp up our knife-block. Thanks a lot for showing. Greetings from Germany
