Craft marketplace Etsy boasts a surplus of awesome handmade doodads dedicated to Where the Wild Things Are, and here are a couple of our favorites. User Roadkill’s immaculate silver pendants of Max and Carol are only one inch tall but the detailing is impressive. You can even see Carol’s shiny sharpened teeth and the tiny buttons on Max’s wolf-suit!
If you crave a more hands-on approach for your DIY Wild Things homage, check out CraftyisCool’s brilliant crotchet pattern for the same lovable pair of Maurice Sendak characters. Complete with removable crown and wolf suit hood! Adorable, but perhaps not for the novice knitter.

Not sure what’s cooler, the verisimillitude of tallulahblue’s cake or the fact that it’s designated for a youngster named Atticus. As if the legacy of that name weren’t enough to guarantee success, the birthday boy even resembles Max! Some people are born lucky.

Some rad magazines with Wild Things issues are circulating around the globe.
Monster Children from Australia
and Little White Lies and Huck from the UK. All three mags are rad and totally worth supporting. Give ‘em a look.

Oh hey, who’s cooking crawfish? NO ONE! That ain’t no sink full of crustaceans, its a sink full of costume “hair” made from twine and dyed with red and brown dye for the ultimate wild things costume experience. Arrivings slightly too late for Halloween (but useful nonetheless) is the definitive How To Make a Wild Things Costume tutorial, courtesy of Tim.
All you need ares some hula hoops, tape, mesh, dye, hot-glue, fur, foam, wire, plastic tubing, paper mache, glue, and an insane attention to detail.
Seriously. Insane.

Sure, there were a lot of variations on these roaming the streets this Halloween but these pics from our friends at Filter show what it takes to the extra mile.

The rumpus never stops. Up top, a wild things bento by cookingformonkeys for a very lucky recipient. Bonus points for the inclusion of healthy carrot sticks, red peppers and edamame. Gotta keep yourself in tree-swinging condition. One question: what is the crown made of?
Second, an impressive entry into the growing category of wild things baked goods. This cinnabon streusal cake by cakebreak includes a Moishe made of fondant with lovingly detailed spikes and an excessively honkable nose.
Nice work, you two.
