Something horrible this way comes. No, we're not talking about Brexit (but could they have picked a more appropriate date for it?) but Halloween. It's time to gear up and really take your ghoulish celebrations to the next level with a truly exceptional set of makes from those gorgeous Little Button Diaries gals, Laura Minter and Tia Williams.

In "The Horrible Craft Book" there's a truly grim and gross make for just about everyone. Poo, snot, guts, severed fingers, more poo - you name it and it's all in this fabulous makes book.

Learn the secrets of making truly grim and disgusting puke-slime (arrrgh!), learn how to trick your friends and frenemies with a realistic severed finger or perhaps even a few scars and scabs of your own.

Make delicious snackables that look disgusting but taste wonderful, such as guts pizza, snot cakes and squishy cake-pop eyeballs.

We read through this with a mixture of "ARRRGHS" and "OOOHS" in equal measure, sheer genius from those superb creative mums over at Little Button Diaries

Sum this book up in a sentence: A dream "Makes" book for kids and adults who love grim and gross stuff, with easy-to-make recipes, crafting projects and quick tricks for jolly japesters - perfect for halloween.
