I use to have those wreath like things with the rafia bow and dried flowers... AKA dust collector ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Love the pictures. I wish I had kept one of mine I got rid of to share. :)
ReplyDeleteI made a fabric stocking (that doesn't really open) with painted, wooden decorations attached to it.
So I stitched "Families are Forever" and put it in a double frame but I couldn't find a recent family photo in time to give it to my mom for Mother's Day so I drew a picture of our family. This was back in high school, mind you, 15 or so year ago, and my mom still has that picture up! She refuses to change it to a photo. I'll try to get a picture of it to share with you!
ReplyDeleteLove these comments, seriously funny.
ReplyDeleteKelli, LOVE that you drew the picture for your family.
My grandma was big into crafting when I was growing up. In jr high and High School she had me decorate bars of soap with ribbon, scrapbook paper, jewels, paint ect. She would display them in her bathroom in a basket. They were sooo ugly! I wish I had a picture of them.
ReplyDeleteRaffia memories: Oh my favorite raffia memory to laugh about, was a wooden doll. I am sure she was at least 3 ft tall with raffia hair which touched the floor. I would actually curl her hair with a curling iron to keep her looking gorgeous. Ha Ha. What a doll, pretty funny some of the things we thought were cute.TORI HILLYARD
ReplyDeleteThe cheesiest craft I made was a house out of popsicle sticks it was way ugly went straight to yrash
ReplyDeleteI took a big piece of white fabric and stuck it through a hoop, then painted a face on it to make a ghost. :)
ReplyDeleteI cut gingerbread men out of brown paper bags and attached to a long strand of raffia and torn fabric pieces.
Leslie Gleeves submitted the following comment to go along with her picture:Here are some pictures for the blog contest. It is a bunny with a wooden head, hands and feet that are painted and then glued into a totally eighties inspired peach flower dress complete with lace, (the bunny is not stuffed at all so it is just the head, hands and feet glued to material :) There is also a candle holder complete with a peach color candle, adorned with, again, eighties inspired lace and bow (the lace coincidently matches the lace on the bunny).
ReplyDeleteLadies! These comments are hillarious. First thing tomorrow morning I will post the winner of the gift card. BUT I've gotten such a good chuckle from these entries that I think we should continue the fun. Let's let the world see them. Send your friends and family to leave a comment and vote on your craft disaster and the winner will recieve. . .wait for it. . . A FREE TEMPLE or FAMILY PROTRAIT, or a CLOCK. Winners choice!
ReplyDeleteIn college my roomies and I were too poor to buy a Christmas tree so one day after class I was bored and started tying grocery bags to a lamp shade. The bags were white with green writing...to make it more festive! It was the most atrocious thing ever but all the neighbors loved coming over to get a good laugh! The best thing about it was we could light our "tree" just by turning the lamp on! :)
