Isn’t he so dashing? Looking so sharp with a tux instead of the usual heart chest piece, sparkly black buttons, and a nice little bow tie too. So fashion forward! He even holds a romantic red rose in his paw, handcrafted by my sister polarbear of course. This little vampire monkey amigurumi is sure to charm his way into all the lady’s hearts! Don’t get too excited though ladies…rumor has it he’s dating the little Witch Monkey Amigurumi. Sigh, she’s a lucky monkey, I know…

This vampire monkey amigurumi was by far the fanciest monkey we’ve made so far. The cape was actually handsewn together by my mom (because we all know how horrible I am at sewing). It was such a nice coincidence that we had the perfect materials lying around too, like velvet and satin, to make the perfect cape. The hat is exactly the same as the St Patrick’s Day monkey amigurumi and Fourth of July monkey amigurumi.

Another part of this vampire monkey amigurumi that took a lot of work was the backdrop. Polarbear spent days painting and drawing the background. She even cut up some of the same black chiffon material used for the Witch monkey amigurumi’s cape to make into curtains. Our idea was to make the vampire monkey amiguurmi look like he was in a mansion. For me at least, when I think vampire I think mansion…and of course a coffin!

Polarbear also spent a lot of time handcrafting all the roses on the coffin and on the floor. She even used glitter glue to outline some nice gold lines on the coffin. Very decadent-looking, just how I had envisioned it ahh. The coffin was actually made out of styrofoam from an old egg carton. It was painted black and then nicely decorated. And for you nitpickers out there, yes we are aware the coffin is a little bit small. He sleeps sideways…because he likes to!

I just had to include this picture because he looks like he’s using his hand to flaunt his luxurious cape haha!

Of course, no vampire is complete without some bloody fangs! The fangs were cut out from white felt, then painted very meticulously with red nail polish.

That wraps up our monkeys of the month for October! I hope you’ve all enjoyed our Halloween monkey amigurumis as much as we’ve enjoyed creating them. We went a little crazy because it’s polarbear’s favorite time of the year. She’s been dying to get dark and spooky with our cute amigurumis since forever! I just enjoyed living vicariously through the monkey amigurumis because I want to dress up for Halloween but can’t…sniff sniff.

Fourth of July Monkey Amigurumi

Let’s celebrate Independence Day with a festive Fourth of July monkey amigurumi!!!

Yep, you guessed it! Another monkey to kick off the start of a new month. No, we will not stop until we have completed all twelve monkeys for all twelve months of the year. It just wouldn’t be fair or right if we just decided to leave out the rest of the months and their representative monkey amigurumis now would it?

So here we have our Fourth of July monkey amigurumi in the signature Uncle Sam pointing at YOU pose. He wants YOU and so does the monkey! Does our monkey successfully resemble the poster in the background? We even tried to coordinate the colors of the monkey to match Uncle Sam’s outfit. We used an off-white colored felt to give the monkey an overall old school look. Of course, to make it more festive we gave it a nice and crazy Fourth of July hat–that was very time consuming and painstaking to make.

This is the top of the hat…very festive right? First we crocheted the standard top hat and then cut out strips of white and blue felt which were glued directly onto the hat. Then we used sequin stars to decorate the rest of it. We even included a little bling on his hat with small crystal accents between the stars.

The standard home-made flag. Made possible by the combined efforts of a nice printer, toothpick, and tacky glue!

Our Fouth of July monkey is a very busy little monkey amigurumi. He may look carefree and all, but he’s busily planning away a July 4th celebration on his computer! Yes, an old school computer for an old school monkey.

He’s sending out invitations to his Fourth of July party. Will you be there? Don’t worry, he’ll call you when the meat’s grilling away on his BBQ GrillMaster 7411 in the backyard.
