Disney’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” has become a classic movie for kids of all ages. The original characters, fantastic music and unusual blend of holiday magic make this story a memorable one.

And the intriguing characters of Jack Skellington, Sally, the Mayor and more have inspired many artists to re-create their likenesses as fun DIY projects!

If you’re into crochet, you’re going to love the patterns we found on Etsy to craft the “Nightmare Before Christmas” crew. Etsy shop owner SquarepigCrochet designed five crochet patterns to make adorable Amigurumi versions of these Disney characters.

For $14.21, you can get the crochet patterns to make soft doll versions of Jack Skellington, Zero the Dog, Oogie Boogie, the Mayor and Sally!

Don’t these figures look like they just leaped out of the film and into reality?

The Pumpkin King, Jack, measures 40 centimeters tall, as does the Mayor, while Sally comes in at 35 centimeters tall.
