Hey there all you cool cats and kittens. Unless you’ve been living under a rock during isolation you may have heard of and seen a little Netflix show called Tiger King. It’s a wild ride of characters we didn’t even know existed in real life and we’re delighted to see the craft world paying tribute. Here are the best crafty responses to the binge-worthy programme that you didn’t even know you needed until now…

This crochet doll. Designed by the fabulous Alison Hoffman, the flamboyant Tiger King is re-created in all his glory. You can buy this pattern here and make sure you check out Alison’s other crocheted creations on her Instagram @craftyiscool
On the wall

Piece of cake
A Tiger King cake! Well why wouldn’t you want a three-tiered cake with tiger-loving Joe on it? However, it’s actually made of toilet paper! Created by albascakestudio
But while we’re talking cake…
Where's the knife...?
An edible cake of Joe’s head, mullet and all. We can think of a certain cat-loving Florida resident who might want to cut this right down the middle…This master piece is by @cakesbydearbhla
