Animal Crossing has been inspiring designers and creators since its release, offering different ways for players to use the island’s in-game tools and items to create and shape their perfect getaway. Once the game is complete, decorating one’s island is the main draw of the Nintendo classic, with players able to bring to life almost anything they wish to. The game has found a firm audience in crafters and artists, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons inspiring countless fanmade works ranging from character cosplay to recreating villagers through felting, knitting, and crocheting.
