Crafts With Yarn

• The warmth and fuzziness of yarn lends itself easily to a number of tiger-oriented crafts. Use your knitting talents to create a sweater out of black and orange in a striped pattern. The tiger sweater is the perfect for a Cincinnati Bengals fan or for a friend who likes the dramatic look of tiger stripes. Alternatively, crochet a tiger-striped afghan to throw over a couch or chair or to keep at the foot of your bed for those cold winter nights.
  
  

Crafts With Wood

• When one or more rooms in your house have a rustic decor, a wooden plaque with the image of a tiger on it fits in beautifully. Choose your favorite tiger image, trace it onto a piece of wood and burn the design into the surface. Opt for a varnish that complements the wood in your home, and cover the plaque with a couple of thin coats. If you're handy at whittling and carving, choose a block of wood and carve a lifelike tiger out of it. Use paint to fill in the details, and display it proudly on your mantle or a shelf in your study.
  
  

Crafts With Material

• Halloween offers the opportunity to dress up like your favorite beast. Visit your local fabric store, choose a length of material with a tiger print and create your own costume for a seasonal party. Choose a pair of tiger print house slippers to top off your look in a cute and cuddly way. Alternatively, create a pair of curtains with a dramatic look for your recreation room, garage or a teenager's bedroom. Use remaining fabric to fashion pillowcases or a dust ruffle.
  
  

Crafts for Kids

• Adults aren't the only ones who enjoy a tiger-oriented craft. Children often develop an attraction to tigers during a trip to the zoo or after they've seen a movie or cartoon that features this stealthy feline. Use paper sacks to create tiger hand puppets, and spend the afternoon playing with them with carefree abandon. When your child likes to play act, help him create a tiger mask out of a paper plate. Use orange and black paint to create the stripes, and cut shapes out of another paper plate to attach as ears. Cut eye-holes into the mask so your child can see, and attach a length of elastic from one side to the other so the mask stays securely in place while he roars around the house and yard.
