What is it about Christmas that makes people think they can turn any old thing into a lovely decoration? Or even worse, a lovely gift?
We’ve all heard of Tampon Angels, and I doubt anything can beat that for tackiness, but a close runner up would be the Milkbone Reindeer ornaments I saw in a craft magazine. Little milkbone dog biscuits sprayed with varnish. Add googly eyes, a pompom nose, a couple of twisted brown pipe cleaners and voila!
Or… take anything small, poke a hole in it, tie a string through the hole, spray paint it gold… Instant ornament!
I can assure you that I have never heard of such a thing! Yikes! That is bizarrely tacky. Are they hung up by the string? Do I even want to know? Yowza.
Sure, use up the all time tackiest most bizarre Christmas craft, then ask us to follow… [sub]why would…[/sub]
I guess the clothes pin soldiers my husband’s mom made sound perfectly normal.
