5 out of 5 starsGreat quality monster food! I bought the set of six "wormies" for my two grandsons to each have three pieces to stuff into their small monster zipper cases I had purchased earlier. Such a fun gift! (Thank you, Teri, for the cute extra gift you included--the mini monster ornament is SO CUTE, this Mamaw is keeping him for myself! Lol!)

I am a crafty chick, with a degree in fine arts and I love to make things. I have a wonderful husband who encourages my monster obsession, and an 18 year old son who (bless his heart) thinks I can make anything from scratch.

A print shop
Windsor, ON
I use a print shop to produce printed promotional items that I 100% design, but cannot make myself. I use them as a complement to my regular product line so I can offer different items for my customers to go along with their handmade monsters!

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
Surface washing is recommended, but if your monster gets into some major messiness, we recommend hand washing in the sink using a mild soap and cold water. Spin or squeeze the excess water out, and air dry.
What are the monsters made of?
Sugar and spice and everyth...well, actually, the monsters are all made from upcycled and repurposed wool sweaters! I procure the sweaters from local thrift stores in the Victoria and Vancouver area. Each sweater is then "felted" before use, which means I wash it in hot water (often multiple times) to shrink it! This turns the sweater into a nice crafting felt which I then sew into monsters. I also use new polyester fibrefill to stuff the monsters, and plastic safety eyes to bring their faces to life!
The monster I wanted has sold! Can you make another one just like it?
Unfortunately, I cannot replicate a monster from the past. Each one is a One-Of-A-Kind individual.
Because I don't use patterns when I create the monsters (I design as I sew each one), and I use recycled materials, it is pretty much impossible to replicate a monster I have made in the past.
That being said, I would probably be able to make a new monster for you that is *inspired* by one I have already made.
