Crocheted Clowns

Anyone remember the film 'IT'? These would give Pennywise a run for his money and any child nightmares.

Tampon Easter Bunny

What’s fluffy and white and cottony soft? Tampons! And bunnies! That’s why this tampon Easter Bunny was such a natural. If he sticks around for your period, he’ll bring you some unfertilized eggs.

The above has been lifted straight from Tamponcrafts wonderful site as it's better than anything I could have written. For instructions go to: http://www.tamponcrafts.com/bunny.html

I am indebted to them as always.

Tampon Rocket

The Easter holidays are here! If your children are bored with nothing to do here's an idea that will keep them amused (and probably get you talked about by the neighbours when these land in their gardens). For full instructions go to: http://www.tackyliving.com/article.php?id=86 but here's a couple of pictures to whet your appetite.

Matthew Kelly's Cardi

This is from an 80s knitting pattern book with patterns modelled by celebrities including John Inman, Christopher Biggins, and Anne Diamond (looking very thin). The book was called 'Wit Nits' - might be more accurate to substitute the 'W' for 'SH'. Hard to pick the worst design but think it may go to the offering that Matthew Kelly is modelling. It's a wonder he didn't get arrested! Thank you mooosh for this from your Flickr collection.

The best ad I've seen this week

I know this doesn't strictly come into the category of bad taste crafting but couldn't resist puting it in as the funniest vintage ad I've seen this week. Many thanks to Firexbrat on Flickr for this one.

Bleach Bottle Angels

Recycling once more - this time it's how to turn those old bleach bottles into something truly horrific. If in a moment of madness you're tempted to recreate these the instructions are below the pics. Be afraid, be very afraid.

I am indebted to Nurse Marbles on Flickr for this offering.

Budweiser Hat

I don't particularly care for Budweiser or crochet and I don't do hats - nuff said.

Teeth Earrings

Say what you see - don't know how these would be described on my beloved Etsy: ' Two extracted molars are wire-wrapped and embellished with pearls and hung on french earwires' - perhaps? One word - yuck! And they don't even match.

Soda Can Crafts

A few years ago on a trip to the US I found myself in a large craft shop browsing the books and came across crap craft heaven. I think the book was imaginatively titled 'Soda Can Crafts' and showed how with very little effort and a complete lack of taste anyone could create gifts suitable for weddings, christenings, and most occasions simply by crushing an old coke tin and painting it in garish colours and adding a few embellishments. Sadly, the book has disappeared but a rigorous search on the internet has come up with a couple of offerings -here's one that would be a suitable gift for people that you don't like who've just had a happy event. Unfortunately I can't find a representation of the wonderful 'Bride and Groom' featured in the book. If anyone can supply this I'd be very grateful.
