Morbid Mousetrap Crafts

Do Your Best CSI Miami Impression at This Mousetrap Crime Scene

— December 30, 2013 — Art & Design
Crafster.org user MissingWillow has created this inspired morbid crafts project depicting a mousetrap crime scene in which a woman was sliced in two in what can only be described as the mousetrap fiasco of the century.

Complete with miniature CSI-like figures documenting the scene, blood, CSI equipment and of course the dismembered victim, MissingWillow's mousetrap crime scene looks like a scene taken right out of a late night cop procedural, except of course for the mousetrap. MissingWillow was also kind enough to inform us that "no mice were injured making this craft."

Made as a Christmas gift for her son-in-law, MissingWillow is showing that not all in-law relations need to be contentious. The only thing missing from this moustrape crime scene however, is a miniature David Caruso putting on his sunglasses while saying something snarky.
Trend Themes
1. Morbid Crafting - There is an opportunity for the crafting industry to offer more macabre and unconventional crafting materials and projects.
2. Miniature Crime Scene Creation - The toy industry could explore developing miniature crime-scene creation kits to cater to people's fascination with crime drama and mystery, as seen in MissingWillow's project.
3. Csi-inspired Decor - There is a potential for the home decor industry to offer CSI-inspired decor that could appeal to individuals who are interested in forensic science and detective stories.
Industry Implications
1. Crafting - The crafting industry can explore materials and project ideas that are unconventional and have a more macabre theme, as seen in MissingWillow's mousetrap crime scene.
