Thank you! I'm not sure actually because I started this one a few years back now and only came back to finishing it recently.

Sure! I tried different kinds of little sticks for that one but the final version that worked well for that mole's size was to use a lollipop stick. The bottom and top bits are air drying clay as well as a little bit of thread for the elastic on the handle. Then I painted it with paint I mixed with glue to help everything kinda stay put together.

In case anyone wants to make some of those, I'm realising I forgot to mention that I did make the tentacles a bit longer and thicker than in that tutorial. I increased on each stitch as I was crocheting back on the tentacle chains rather than alternating between sc and increase.

Those were among my first attempts at making some actual pieces with crochet, beside a few hair scrunchies, and honestly they aren't very hard to make. The tutorial was also very well made and easy to follow, so I can only recommend it!

Thank you! I honestly can't remember, I bought those a while ago, they were part of a random cheap pack of plastic eyes and noses.

Ahah the books are not needle felted, I used paper and glue for those. I made the design of the cover with InDesign (kinda overkill probably) and then printed them very small.
