Deck the Halls with These Christmas Craft Projects

ecda0323a69add04e972968244e4d1c5

Yes, it’s that time of year again when people start putting up their Christmas decorations. You have the tree, the lights, the nativity scenes, the wreaths, the stockings, and what not. And all not only to make your home a source for holiday cheer and delight, but also to be the envy of your neighbors. Of course, most people tend to buy certain decorations at the local store. But for a long time many people just simply made their own since it’s cheaper and it reuses old stuff lying around the house. Also, most schoolkids usually create at least one Christmas creation in art class. The one I remember most was of a nutcracker soldier I made in fifth grade but a bit of the shiny paper folded while it was being laminated. Nevertheless, my parents still hang it up on the back of the front door. Still, you can see plenty of yuletide craft projects on Pinterest as you might be aware of. But while many people see Christmas craft projects as kids’ stuff, Pinterest will make you beg to differ and I didn’t have to look far and wide to tell you so. Believe me, I didn’t have to look very hard and it’s pretty difficult for me to know which decorations to put on and which to leave out. So for your reading pleasure, I present you some of the wide multitude of Christmas craft projects you might find charming for your Christmas home.

  1. Grace your front door with this festive candy cane decoration.
0a0a1d25ef3fd3cc957656b0694dc3f2

Yes, it might look straight out of a Dr. Seuss story. But I’m sure you and your family will love it.

2. Snowflakes always show up well if they’re made of wood and covered in lights.

0b742eff0505db1db10db8c6fdc1cdb8

Now these were created from pallet wood like you’d see from old crates. Of course, with a little assembly and white paint, they are pure Christmas magic when hung outside with the lights.

3. For only a nickel, you can buy a snowball from this snowman.

0b7836730dc3660bc90e924ac6819449

Okay, not really because most people either can make their own snowballs for free or don’t have snow on the ground as we speak. Still, this is just so adorable I had to put it on my post.

4. Keep your silverware in order for guests this Christmas with these stockings.

0bd20fb78c932d7c5491c9497842ce3f

Yes, these are stockings for holding silverware for the holiday guests. And they only hold 3 a piece. But still kind of clever to say the least.

5. Make your own little Christmas tree this year with small flower pots and button ornaments.

0c7f2485b4508d94e8500825419bd804

Now you can buy the little flower pots at any craft store before painting them green. Still, this is just a very adorable little Christmas tree if you ask me.

6. Have burned out Christmas bulbs lying around? Dip them in glitter and put them in glass block.

0e7d8b4d1cbf60a20e72cd36118177ad

Glitter: giving new life to burned out Christmas light bulbs as decorations so you won’t have to throw them away. Now this is so pretty to say the least.

7. You don’t have a great candy cane unless you have one of ribbon and crocheted lace.

0e6882b7746168835665838697cdccac

Yes, that doesn’t seem to go with a proper candy cane twisty color scheme. But it looks like something that you can hang from a tree. Besides, it’s clever.

8. Want to spread some holiday cheer? Well, these wine glass will certainly make great candle holders.

0f285c13f8c314f62d09b9c17d763eb0

Now these consist of a gingerbread man, penguin, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, an elf, Santa, the Grinch, and a snowman. And I see a lot of these have glitter.

9. Got little kids and pets but love baubles? Then I supposed these crocheted ones will be perfect for the bottom of your Christmas tree.

1a0650e8c505d6bcca6d9df995bcc3dd

And they seem to come in several different colors in a box. Nevertheless, they’re likely all stuffed so you won’t have to worry about your kids or animals breaking them.

10. If you want to let it snow, then this crocheted snowman wreath is perfect for your front door.

1b0b2e7c51669d8f0934cc19bb027a4a

Of course, in my area the most snow you’ll get this time of year is perhaps a few inches that will melt away as the day goes on. Yeah, my area doesn’t get a lot of snow during the holiday season.

11. Make a Christmas tree ornament with wire and beads.

1bfaf07ec5f05332197eac0fe5d32f13

Now I wouldn’t recommend this for little kids. However, it does look quite nice, doesn’t it?

12. To make your Christmas tree baubles look more festive, cover them with bead covers like this.

1d960d70ad96475b481f6a19b06823f7

Now you might see decorations like these on older Christmas decorations. Still, this looks quite neat and best of all it’s purple to match.

13. Love woodland creatures? Perhaps this owl tree topper will go well for your Christmas tree.

1fcf79d3124a8c0f972e034f4d62cfab

Because nothing makes a Christmas tree look more alive in nature than with an owl on top. Sure it won’t light up like other tree toppers would. But it’s so cute you won’t care.

14. Nothing says Christmas than a large candy cane hanging from your front door.

02a6c3ffd42b859ce1aa4f9b2d6a00bc

Of course, you’ll know it’s Christmas if you see this on somebody’s front door. Yeah, bright white and red really stands out.

15. Bring in the ho, ho, ho, Christmas spirit with these Santa Claus wine bottle decorations.

2badef02b6bd7e8ff66fa63a69e17748

Now if you have old wine bottles lying around, painting Santas on them is a clever idea. Wonder what they used to make the tops.

16. Count down the days till Christmas with this felt Christmas tree advent calendar.

4aa7bcd09573f7888923a27583a2a5af

Now this would be a great advent calendar if you’re a religion class teacher. I mean the ornaments on this are teeming with biblical imagery here. However, whether you’re a Christian or not, this does look pretty cool if you ask me.

17. Or you can go with the advent calendar wreath option, of course.

4e37abc1264cea151c5d74f99e273434

Wonder what’s inside these tissue wrappers for the days. Is it candy, Christmas messages, or something else?

18. For those who don’t have a taxidermied deer head for a reindeer, perhaps you should try making one instead.

05d642c08c2e16617b943ee8fa5c5d7c

Now this cute, cardboard deer is a clever and festive decoration. But unlike taxidermy, it won’t creep out the kids.

19. Nothing says Christmas better than a crocheted Christmas tree.

5bee5377a497ad987824e4fe7129dabf

Now this is something kids can play with. And it’s just so adorable. Still, wonder how they got the ornaments on the tree though.

20. Nothing brings holiday cheer to your family than these Santa cone hats.

5cd9802e6c6896af1e8af13c1d18c045

And yes, these are certainly bedazzling indeed. However, when seeing these, I can’t help thinking you’d expect to see these hats in Dr. Seuss.

21. Tired of assembling a nativity scene? Why not hang one up from the wall?

5d8cbc2a1e9fb83dd0e821182f5462f1

Now one has the 3 wise men following a star. One has Mary and Joseph with the baby Jesus. And one has the shepherds watching their flocks by night.

22. This reindeer ornament will be a great addition for any Christmas tree.

6af3dba3f4baf79be3111d3e4fde106d

Okay, it’s not really a reindeer. But seriously, our pop culture usually gets it wrong when we show reindeer on Christmas specials, anyway. Still, its antlers are covered in glitter.

23. Blow some tissues this year with this Santa Claus tissue dispenser.

7a182ee6cee4f4d16069e88dd6c1a2d0

Now this is a cute decorative idea. Still, that buckle and belt are clearly embroidered and it’s trimmed by fake fur.

24. This snowman kettle will surely make a fine centerpiece at any Christmas table.

7bf2e2abaad38025afad02d0419d5d41

Yes, the snowman is painted on, possibly by a repressed art major. And yes, the foliage is fake. Still, you have to love this.

25. Live in the desert, well, this Saguaro Christmas cactus ornament will go fine with your Christmas tree or Christmas cactus.

7f7f36f5181ac6116d71bf30abf1d364

Now we should remember that the Saguaro cactus is only available on the Southwest US and Mexican deserts. Still, it’s a clever twist for a Christmas tradition.

26. Light up a shadow nativity scene this year with glass blocks and lights.

6efad3427cf3f9e222134aad888dcf2e

Yes, it’s another nativity scene pertaining to cut outs. Still, I think it’s quite amazing, especially when lit up at night.

27. Make you home a Christmas candy palace with this gingerbread, candy cane, and lollipop Christmas wreath.

8bcbd8cfa2c0c5cec142323e3594e5fb

Now this wreath contains felt candies and goodies of your own delights. And it’s so adorable to put on any door.

28. If you love decorating for the holiday season with penguins, then you’ll love these flower pot waddlers.

8c955a4e995d8946e63c767a492a4bc2

Of course, most penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere which is nowhere near the north pole. But they’re so cute that nobody cares whether they’re used for Christmas decorations or not.

29. Make your home a holiday winter wonderland with this snowflake feather wreath.

7f29b9de661ba10d7c979fe92748c8a4

Now this is covered in feathers and craft snowflakes you’d buy at a craft store. Nevertheless, wouldn’t mind having this on my door if you ask me.

30. Make your holiday season jolly with these Santa Claus paint brushes.

8ff8d7d6b955e4efcd2eb40d4965b255

Yes, I know paint brushes aren’t often used as decorative items. Still, these are so clever and adorable if you ask me. Whoever thought of these was a genius.

31. Wow your holiday guests with this Christmas hat stand.

9a552b225b5e82e0976578207d68ed62

Yes, it’s a literal Christmas hat stand with funky red and green hats. And yes, I’m sure your guests will love it, especially if they’re fans of Dr. Seuss.

32. Want to build a small Christmas village display? Get a wreath.

9ac4b45bc975d690e2ee8746a1d25490

Now I find a Christmas village wreath a particularly charming idea. Doesn’t hurt that it goes with the village below on the table.

33. Bring the holiday spirit into your home with this Christmas wreath.

9c8a1fbb6fcb64594aea2db6a7d505aa

Now this has a candy cane design with a little green, And it includes a snowman, bow, berries, a branch, and “Merry Christmas” in tags.

34. For a wintry spirit on your Christmas tree, it helps if your felt skates have paper clip blades.

9f3790eab5d451ef7f81b9c182b4396e

Now the paper clip ice skate idea is quite clever for ornaments. However, as far as the Christmas season goes, it hasn’t been too icy from where I live.

35. Be in the festive spirit this Christmas by wearing these Christmas tree earrings.

9fdeaff06c5aed12faa2eb10e5895a7d

Now these are made from beads and wire. However, they’re not as kitschy as some of the other Christmas jewelry you’d probably see.

36. For a more advent calendar design, may I suggest you go with a snowman?

17c88398760887e49cfb49fc8ff43081

Now this is made like a clock. Yet, you use the carrot to count down the days of December.

37. Have some old jewelry? Well, you can always make a Christmas tree collage out of it.

19f54be6605be79bc705ef40f1fea5dd

Now I’ve seen a lot of these on Pinterest and many are said to be vintage. Yet, this one sure looks pretty if you ask me.

38. This Christmas make your home a winter wonderland with a snowman Christmas tree.

46c851f56b7d5801ec974d75ea2dc0b8

Now this is a small Christmas tree that’s made to look like a cute snowman. And yes, it looks like each part is surrounded by wreath garlands, too.

39. I don’t know about you, but I think there’s a Grinch in that Christmas tree.

51e97ae528c690a2530be8b5792e2f4e

Actually that’s part of the tree decor. Somehow , the resident had some bright green tights and some red fabric. Still, it’s pretty funny.

40. I’m sure this pot soldier would make a great sentry for your holiday home.

54bd40ad2651b24c453db2d67a645ba1

No, not that kind of pot soldier. This one is a toy soldier made from flower pots stacked against each other and painted accordingly.

41. With beads and wire, you can make a snowflake ornament that glimmers on the tree.

3a247b9f4a34aa79f078cb8027c7a336

Now the bead work on this is quite intricate if you ask me. But it sure looks pretty.

42. Seems like this snowman is busy with knitting this season.

56d16cce006a39ae1965cbd6314db570

Now this is a knitted snowman with a hat, scarf, and knitting to boot in sub zero temperatures. Then again why it feels to do this, I don’t have the slightest idea.

43. Nothing emphasizes the spirit of giving than a wreath made of gifts.

62b6688dfef491ddb818709ec640af12

Now a wreath made of little presents can be as colorful as you like. And this one even comes with a tag.

44. If you love winter, then you’ll certainly adore this snowflake glass block.

70fa0b984cf67c9fec57be0b48d86a61

Yes, it’s quite pretty and intricate as you might see. But you have to love it and admire the craftsmanship.

45. Nothing says, “Merry Christmas” this holiday season than a candy cane wreath.

78c5f74aa1b398012393b149d18eb1cb

Now in order to have a candy cane wreath, it just has to have red and white stripes of some variation. Still, I like the snowflake on this.

46. Grace your Christmas home with a wooden panel with a red ribbon star.

95e137772de7c06c6ecd983fd1a9d8de

Now this just has a long ribbon on some screws in order to make a bright star. Some might scratch their heads on this, but I like it.

47. A wooden reindeer will certainly bring the Christmas spirit from the great outdoors.

281c856b3b66fa626045ff356a969b32

Now this one uses logs for the body and twigs for the antlers. To some it’s ingenious but to others, it looks like a waste of firewood.

48. If you’re not the most jolly during the Christmas season, you can always go with a Grinch wreath.

341d006e9384464eaef5b31a25c32b8e

Not sure what that material is but reminds me of moss. However, this is pretty clever if you ask me. Like the eyes and the Santa hat.

49. If you have kids but not a lot of space, then this felt nativity hanging will do quite nicely.

406affc4b9b5117f8368895b59c217cb

Now this one includes King Herod and the innkeeper, who aren’t the better characters in the story. Still, though Herod probably didn’t order a baby massacre around Jesus’s birth, he wasn’t a nice guy and executed several members of his own family.

50. Grace your home this Christmas with a red and green wooden sleigh with a snowman.

530abb0d995c4711fe109381da0a5f4d

Now my family has a painted Christmas sled. But it doesn’t look like this one at all. Still, I think it’s adorable.

51. Of course, nothing says Christmas than a painted rock nativity scene.

537ee1f0389ccf67340de7ebe0f92066

Now this is an interesting twist on the nativity scene as you see here. Still, like how they used the burlap sack as the stable.

52. For a jolly holiday season, this Santa wreath is a great bet.

568f10f3be1d29fc3093316a2ffe8922

Now this has a belt and “ho, ho, ho” on the top. It also seems to be covered in red feathers for festive emphasis.

53. For those spending Christmas near the beach, you might appreciate these shell Christmas trees.

616f345843e6e0736a6bf8d7e85f3f6a

Yes, the iridescence may not make it look like shell. But it is. It’s just the underside. These are also topped with a starfish, too.

54. For your little one this Christmas, this crocheted snowman cap will keep them warm and snug.

697b9450fe38c87286e8d0b76436b495

Now most of the crocheted caps I’ve seen on Pinterest pertaining to Christmas seem to be for children. This didn’t seem to be the case when it came to Star Wars.

55. Nothing says Christmas like a button collage of a Christmas tree.

681d2bd94c91408a8472957b187aab3a

Well, it’s not all buttons. But I’m not sure which ones are part of the tree and which ones are supposed to be ornaments. Then again, maybe that’s the point.

56. Add some heart to your Christmas tree with this amigurumi ornaments.

839bcc661a9ebdcc86022d62d2a5ca9f

Now this has all kinds of woodland creatures, a gingerbread house, Santa, a mushroom, an acorn, a reindeer, and a lady with a babuska. And yes, they’re quite cute to say the least.

57. Nothing makes a better tree topper this Christmas than a crocheted angel.

0992a02d728e14b4219e4a5ac81dc738

Now crocheted angels are pretty common vintage decorations, as I’ve seen at my grandparents’ house. Yet, I think this one is much less creepy than ones with doll heads.

58. Greet winter this holiday season with a snowman wreath at your front door.

2075cff12e19d68b191e3c914c78b7cf

Now I like how they have scarves in so many different colors. Also like their bead eyes and buttons as well. So cute.

59. I’m sure using old jewelry would make a great star to top your Christmas tree.

6272f413c7feba9757df855180fa900b

Yes, it looks like a wire star with jewelry all over it. But I think it looks quite pretty nonetheless.

60. Flowers in a candy cane vase make an excellent Christmas centerpiece.

7025dbf1a1950ed82837f790a2865cb9

Of course, the flowers are fake for obvious reasons. But still, you have to like the candy cane decor on this and the red bow.

61. Nothing makes a cuter Christmas tree than a pine cone.

8753ca4bc1c0ef51dad3aa43f2f124c2

Now I’ve seen quite a few pine cone Christmas trees on Pinterest. This one is supposed to give the impression of a tree covered in snow.

62. Get in the festive spirit this year with this Christmas tree advent calendar.

9033ac7a5358abd849b8044c52f54d96

Now this is similar with the religious symbol Christmas tree advent calendar I put on earlier. Yet this one has more conventional symbols.

63. Got old socks with holes in them or missing partners? Make snowmen out of them.

90501fede36cff6f3a412e4eb42459e0

Now each of these has their own winter gear to stand out. Not sure which one I like the best out of this bunch.

64. Of course, who knew that polar bears could climb trees?

140563e7eec26ad58bae3a90a2eba1aa

Actually Polar bears don’t climb trees because they don’t live where there’s many of them. However, this is cute if you ask me.

65. Remember some ornaments don’t always have to be on the tree. You can even hang some from inside the window.

281462eccc82a0cba6870539db1868ff

Now this looks pretty clever. However, I wouldn’t recommend this for cat owners. Or parents with little kids.

66. Think red and green is too boring? You can always do a wreath with baubles.

7013227be4b00bfd2226f51abe6a1a21

Now I think they used wire to keep the baubles in place. However, I think this might be a delicate process since baubles are easily breakable by design.

67. For Christmas candle holders, I suggest you go with a more rustic feel.

6166074d0dfd967b5b15c5bb10e275ed

Now these holders come from logs as far as I know. And they’re in a tray with some fake berries and evergreen branches.

68. Grace your front door this Christmas with a large decorative poinsettia.

42301085fb791d4072efe9c4366a8d24

And the best part is, you don’t have to toss it after New Years. And yes, that sure looks so pretty.

69. Got candy canes? Make a wreath out of them.

93181440ce1dfddadb858c9c9a1d5979

Well, I’ve shown some candy cane stuff earlier. But this is just unbelievably intricate. Like the snowflake though.

70. When it comes to lights, my I suggest you go with some crocheted options?

a3fe113068b976a38dbe1d005cdf6c62

Now they might not light up your tree. But they’ll look great nevertheless.

71. If you like horses, then you’ll love this decoration for your front door.

a5a1a06a03e9f373ecd4ddff7f854e30

Now this is pretty cool. Like how the mane has long pine needles and a flower.

72. With a vinyl record and coffee can, you can make a snowman hat.

a7ebde063f287d21c022a141302bfa3f

Yes, this is a snowman hat. No, this isn’t intended to be used on real snowmen. It’s just a decorative item.

73. When it comes to decorating the tree, you can’t go wrong with these mitten ornaments.

a6c68220c8822dbebbb1448581771bde

Now these are red with bows of holly and pine branches. Still, these are adorable.

74. Not sure whether a candy cane covered candle smells like peppermint.

a6e4de0dd94fc83f224c52c3faa918ed

Now this is a candle covered with candy canes as well as fastened with a bow and holly. Of course, you don’t want a fire hazard in this which is why the wick is further down.

75. Keep warm this holiday season with this Christmas holly afghan.

b2c1d8ccefc192c7e83662fdc3beb2ff

Now this is quite pretty. Love the holly design on this.

76. If you love angels, then this angel in lace is for you to cherish on your Christmas mantel.

b0fb0579a2939794a0dd9625604c9734

Yes, it’s an angel all covered in lace. But it sure looks so pretty and goes well with the cloth.

77. A pine cone Christmas tree isn’t festive without bead ornaments.

b2e76b41d44dadcf1b1175383dd4a385

Yes, this is another pine cone Christmas tree. However, this one is decorated in glitter and beads to create a better festive look.

78. For a more rustic home, these stick snowflakes will do quite nicely.

adf0ebc6df1eacaf21ff010ace7befe2

Now these snowflakes may not be white. But I’m sure they would if it was easier to paint them. Still pretty intricate.

79. Greet visitors this Christmas with a stocking on your door.

b92e736ee8260a6cd7a4d09712d95e7a

Yes, it’s quite festive and looks like it’s straight out of Dr. Seuss. Yet, if you don’t care for wreaths, go for it.

80. During Christmas, it’s “Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men” with this ornament.

b371fefb94d494ab1cda162a5de4ecc8

Now this is made from felt. Nevertheless, I think it’s an ornament because it seems freely hanging. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a wreath.

81. When it comes to Christmas wreaths, the baubles can come in many colors.

c5d2fab67a8a81c8e7db1af0f5594315

Now this is a great wreath if you ask me. Love how they have a rainbow of colors with this. Sure would like to have that on my front door.

82. Greet winter this holiday season with this flower pot snowman.

c29ca4077714408ff725695a9d01918e

Now this looks quite rustic if you ask me. Like how it has a flower pot coat and a flower pot hat. Also like the broom and scarf.

83. If you live in Hawaii, a hula skirt gingerbread man will sure go well on your Christmas tree.

c142aa7e54640e647ddfd253006f3f08

So I guess it uses buttons as a coconut shell bra. And embroidery floss is used for the skirt. Still, pretty clever.

84. Experience the nativity like you never had before with this nativity cross.

ca1cff466251d01e5e77e9887d2e3110

Yes, this is a nativity cross of carved wood. But still, I think it’s pretty cool how they have the wise men and shepherds.

85. Nothing makes your Christmas brighter than a crystal rainbow angel.

d7b631d0a5906e2441df5c3e6a32cb5a

Yes, this is a crystal rainbow angel ornament. And yes, it looks a bit weird. But I like it and I think you will, too.

86. Bring the spirit of Christmas into your home with this large candy cane star.

d7b5ea0bc033595e1cfc1b2c1a1487fa

And yet, I have another candy cane decoration that you can hang from your door. Also contains peppermints and carries the smell.

87. Keep warm in December with your very own snowflake afghan.

d875ca8853910ea4d1fbd25dd2160211

Now the snowflakes are so pretty on this one. I also like the blue background, too.

88. Keep your guests’ cutlery in order with this Santa silverware pouch.

d31367319f6401fbe571bc3c0c9cbaad

Now this is made from felt and only carries a spoon, fork, and knife. But nevertheless, it’s adorable.

89. Await the coming of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with this nativity scene advent calendar.

d725491253a1c60494a064d118dab91c

Got to love the nativity scenes on this. Now this looks very adorable and nice for kids to play with.

90. Enjoy the holiday season with these light bulb penguin Christmas tree ornaments.

da9d8e40800ce25fd0dcf06337fd1990

Seems to come in 4 different colors. But each one is so cute when you see them. Love their little outfits.

91. Have the nativity at your disposal this Christmas with this nativity scene wood impression garland.

db4592d895f8acf4755642aef3b8a2ca

Now you can see that the Holy family is at the center. The livestock and shepherds are on the left. And the wise men and camels are on the right. Well, mostly.

92. Grace your table this Christmas with these snowmen candlesticks.

e021a78cab8df77a22ec228d376a03b6

Now these are adorable. Still, it’s kind of ironic to have snowman candle holders for some reason. Maybe it’s because fire generates heat which makes snow melt.

93. Make spirits bright this holiday season with this Christmas tree glass block.

eea513cea558c91602b502f55e871f7c

Well, a stained glass Christmas tree mosaic block. Still, I think it’s just so pretty and creative if you ask me.

94. Nothing captures the magic of Christmas like a crystal Christmas tree.

e98ef053e7891696f9d6052f89a001b4

I know it’s made from wire and beads. But still, It looks so glimmering and beautiful in the sunlit snow. I like it.

95. Got some old jewelry? Make a Christmas tree out of it.

eeaf7f7caabffb5e27b6a02898be5571

Yes, this is a Christmas tree decorated with jewelry. You might think it’s a bit askew but I think it’s quite shiny and brilliant.

96. Nothing says Christmas like a wooden peg people nativity scene.

f2ef1d7e99a7c1f3a549cfc43952bd5a

Now since I had peg people Hunger Games and Star Wars, I had to go with this. Also like the simple stable design as well. Yes, this is cute.

97. Give your home a rustic feel during the holidays with this reindeer sled.

f3cd66720fdf0c0f766fe1b4a66d7ab4

Now this is a beautiful sled. However, it’s just for decoration, not for actual sledding.

98. If you love the countryside, then you’ll like this rustic window wreath.

f2744e53c73d1bf52ac6d9497c802a15

Think of it as a wreath but it has a wooden window pane as well as berries and pine cones all over it. Also like the bird.

99. Grace your Christmas table this year with these Pom Pom Branches in a vase.

fa037551c6748a3c26d735c89ae21106

Yes, these are branches covered in all sorts of different colored pom poms. Yes, it looks straight out of Dr. Seuss. Don’t ask me what it has to do with Christmas but I think it’s festive.

100. Stumped on outdoor Christmas decor this year? Then go with these Santas.

fe3452d59e58436f58fc402bfa659379

Yes, these are Santa faces painted on logs and come in 3 different sizes bound together. And yes, it’s adorable. Can also be used indoors, too.

Pass the Drumstick with These Thanksgiving Craft Projects

a-THANKSGIVING-CRAFTS-640x468

Of course, back when we were in school, we all should remember doing some sort of Thanksgiving craft project. I know I have. I mean we all should have some idea about drawing turkeys with hands. Still, craft projects have always been associated with elementary school children in art class, in one way or another. However, contrary to what a recent immigrant might see on the TV screens or around the block, Thanksgiving is a holiday and Americans do celebrate it with food and family. Yes, it denotes the time when the Indians helped a bunch of religious puritanical separatists (and others) survive after they lost nearly half their group during their first New England winter. And we know that some of those Indians would later regret that act of kindness in the long run when later settlers decided to seize their landholdings. Oh, and the fact the Indians didn’t appreciate the gifts the Pilgrims had in store for them like small pox. But we don’t tell little ones that much. No, we try to sanitize it to fit a more elementary school audience because they might be traumatize by the idea of Native American genocide. Still, many of the craft projects that I’ll present aren’t the appropriate kind for elementary school kids in art class. Rather these are for people like parents, party hosts, and repressed art majors. So for your reading pleasure, here is an assortment of craft projects for Thanksgiving.

  1. There’s never enough tulle to make a turkey wreath.
From what I've seen, turkeys aren't usually red, orange, or yellow. They're usually brown and black. Well, at least the wild ones are.

2. Bring in the autumn spirit this Thanksgiving with these hanging acorns.

Now these are adorable. Hope they don't go on any Christmas tree. That might not be appropriate.

3. Get your hair in the Thanksgiving mood with these Pilgrim hair clips.

Now these are so adorable. Makes you want to forget how bad things got between the Massachusetts settlers and the Wampanoag in later decades.

4. Set your place at your Thanksgiving dinner with this turkey place mat.

Now you can put all your utensils inside the turkey's feathers. Still, wonder why anyone would need to eat a meal with 3 different forks and 2 different spoons is beyond me.

5. Grace your Thanksgiving table with this pine cone turkey.

Now this is something kids could make. Just need feathers, pine cone, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes.

6. Any balls of yarn can be a turkey if you add some cloth attributes.

Now this is a cute turkey. But it seems to have weird blue eyes that makes it look dazed for some reason.

7. For garland decorations, how about try Indian corn?

As I found out while doing my movie history series, Indian corn didn't look like this in the 1620s. The kernels were said to be much smaller.

While this was indeed the corn used by Native Americans during the first Thanksgiving. However, its texture doesn’t resemble corn as we know it.

8. Deck your home for Thanksgiving with these autumn leaf samplers.

Now these come in so many colors and shapes. Still, not sure what kind of leaves they are.

9. When making a decorative turkey, it helps if you stick feathers in a pumpkin.

Actually, it would look better with some darker feathers. Then again, the turkeys I usually see are usually brown or black.

10. This turkey hair clip would make anyone’s hair festive this Thanksgiving season.

Now this was made from ribbon. Still, the googly eyes make this turkey seem dazed or cross eyed for some reason or another.

11. For a more autumn look, it helps if you use leaves to hang them by your window.

However, you might want to get the leaves when they're still colorful and on the trees. Because by November, they're brown and fall off.

17. For a more colorful and 3-dimensional turkey, you can always make one from paper machete.

19. Keep warm while watching the parade this Thanksgiving with this turkey quilt.

Now the feathers are in a variety of fabrics to make it look rustic but colorful. But each feather uses fall colors despite the pattern.

20. Grace your Thanksgiving table with a fall floral centerpiece like this.

Now I'm sure the flowers are as fake as the ones on grave sites. Because most flowers are dead by November. Still, it's pretty.

21. Bring the Thanksgiving spirit to your home by stuffing your own cornucopia this year.

22. Now this turkey quilt has feathers of all different colors.

Of course, I kind of find it strange why they dress turkeys a Pilgrims in Thanksgiving art. I mean it's an American native bird. Then again, dressing it as an Indian might have unfortunate implications.

24. For those who like to decorate with flowers, these Pilgrim hat bouquets will simply stun any table.

The Pilgrim hats seem to be made from flower pots and construction paper. The flowers appear to be of plastic as far as I can tell.

25. Create a rustic Thanksgiving atmosphere with these tree trunk candles.

You can tell this is a Thanksgiving arrangement because of the wooden turkeys. Still, let's hope the trunks don't catch fire.

27. Why burn a tree branch in your fire this autumn while you can make it to hold candles?

Then again, I'm not sure if it's a tree branch or a trunk. Still, you have to think the candle arrangement is clever.

28. This owl wreath is charming fall decor for any front door.

Personally, I kind of prefer owls to turkeys. Maybe it's because owls are cool birds of prey with big eyes. Turkeys on the other hand, really don't have as much coolness.

29. Nothing makes a great Thanksgiving centerpiece than this pumpkin bouquet.

Of course, for the fall feel the flowers has to match with the pumpkin's exterior. Thus, I'm sure most of these flowers came from a craft store.

30. For a more fall feel, wrap a big candle with some ears of Indian corn.

Indian corn is also called

Indian corn is also called “Flint corn” since its kernels are said to be hard as flint and leave no dents. It’s also said to be rather durable.

31. Since Thanksgiving is associated with football, perhaps nothing can emphasize such spirit than a football turkey.

Yes, it's a paper kid project. But it's adorable and clever to say the least. Seriously, who ever thought of football feathers is a genius.

33. For the cold ride to grandmother’s house, you might want to wear this knitted turkey hat.

Now this is different from the other turkey hat. Then again, you might not want to wear this in front of your relatives for fear that they might think you're nuts.

34. Of course, you can make a turkey from a gourd and tissue paper.

Seems like kids might do in art class. Still, these do look cute if you ask me.

35. This Pilgrim hat will certainly make a great Thanksgiving centerpiece.

Interesting how it has to be in festive fall decoration to be considered Thanksgiving appropriate. It could just be a Pilgrim hat and be Thanskgivingy enough.

36. Of course, a pumpkin bouquet doesn’t have to be in fall colors.

41. It’s not Thanksgiving until you make your own sock turkey.

Now this turkey seems to have a dark tossel hat instead of a Pilgrim hat. Does that mean this turkey is a thug? Not sure.

The Force Is Strong with These Star Wars Craft Projects

Star-Wars-Day-Collage

When Star Wars was first released in 1977, it was a science fiction movie that had a groundbreaking special effects (which previously hadn’t been advanced since the 1950s), partly based on computers and partly not. But they helped make science fiction movies a blockbuster genre. And it didn’t hurt that it had an engaging story with compelling characters that could appeal to all ages. Still, much of the original film’s sets and props were created on a lower budget than you’d expect of science fiction films of the time which led the production team to use unconventional methods and materials to achieve a desired look. It also helped that George Lucas wasn’t bent on making a flashy space movie anyway. In fact, he wanted it to look real and used. So a lot of the spacecraft you see were models created from scrap parts, particularly from jet aircraft. And boy, did it work big time. Of course, there are plenty of fans who also tend to create their own homage to Star Wars with their own craft projects. Yet, they don’t share George Lucas’s reasons since they tend to be stuff they might like around the house like clothes, decorations, toys, or what not. But you get the idea that they’re also honoring the legacy of George Lucas by creating their own Star Wars stuff by using unconventional methods and materials (even if it’s for their kids). In this post we’ll look at some of the great Star Wars craft projects out there. Some of them might be ridiculous as with the Hunger Games. But some of them will be creative as well as cute. And some might seem that they were created by someone who had way too much time on their hands. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of Star Wars craft projects courtesy of the Force and from a galaxy far, far, away. Many of these aren’t licensed by Lucasfilm or Disney by the way, but they can just shove it.

  1. Snuggle up this winter with this adorable Wampa plushie.
From what I can recall, the Wampa is a ferocious creature on Hoth. And it doesn't look nearly as adorable as this little plushie you want to cuddle with.

2. This Christmas, decorate your tree with your own Death Star ornament.

Because nothing says

Because nothing says “Peace on Earth” than an ornament of a large space station that could obliterate a whole planet. Seriously, remember what happened to Alderaan.

3. Look wookiee chic in fur in this Chewbacca dress.

Of course, this dress is way less fuzzy than Chewie. I'm sure Chewie sheds like a shaggy dog.

4. Of course, a wood panel is the perfect kind of surface to paint an AT-AT.

I don't know about you. But I don't think this image of sci-fi technology seems to go well with the rustic surroundings.

5. Map out your model of the galaxy by making a Star Wars mobile.

I don't think the planets are that close to each other in the galaxy, according to the movies. Still, I do recognize a partial Death Star and an Imperial cruiser.

6. Keep your rooms lit by the power of the Dark Side with this Darth Vader lamp.

7. There’s nothing a kid would want more than their own Chewbacca teddy bear.

I think this was inspired by Wookiee the Chew which is a mashup of Star Wars and Winnie the Pooh. Still, this is adorable but he'd rip your arm out of your socket if he loses a chess game.

9. Light up your yard with this winter with this Death Star fire pit.

On one hand this looks really cool, especially in a picture like this. On the other hand, it's a Death Star which might be capable of blowing up a planet.

16. Cook in your Imperial kitchen wearing your very own Darth Vader apron.

I don't think a Sith Lord of the galaxy would wear an apron like this. I mean it looks like a ladies' apron and most Sith lords are men. Still, I like it.

17. Grace your front door this Christmas with this Star Wars action figure Christmas wreath.

Now this involves a shiny Christmas wreath, Star Wars action figures, and green spray paint. Definitely not made by someone with too much time on their hands there.

18. Throw your things away in this R2-D2 trash bin.

Because why buy an R2-D2 trash bin when you can make your own. It's much cheaper and only requires a plastic trash bin, printouts, a bottle cap, and felt.

23. Of course, nothing is cuter in your Star Wars home than this stuffed little Ewok.

Yes, Ewoks may be among the most adorable creatures in the galaxy. But keep in mind that they do have a vicious streak and almost devoured our heroes if it wasn't for Princess Leia and C-3PO.

Actually, this would be a more appropriate gift for the obnoxious Star Wars fan in your life you really don't care for. I mean I know that there aren't a lot of Star Wars fans who'd want this anyway.

34. The Force is strong in this Star Wars quilt purse.

Now you've probably seen a purse like this for the Hunger Games if you've been following my blog. Still, this is a very appropriate Star Wars patchwork indeed.

35. Now you can bring balance to the Force with this crocheted lightsaber.

36. This crocheted Boba Fett comes complete with his own blaster.

Yes, the most badass bounty hunter in the galaxy is a crocheted stuffed toy with at plastic gun and a nerf antenna. But still, he's out for that scruffy headed nerfherder.

37. Keep your hands warm this winter with these knitted R2-D2 mittens.

38. Cuddle up during your Star Wars marathon with this amigurumi of Queen Padme Amidala of Naboo.

You know, the Queen of Naboo in Episode I who married Anakin Skywalker and had Luke and Leia before dying of a broken heart. Yeah, that Padme who had the extensive wardrobe.

42. Now getting drinks will never the same again with this AT-AT liquor cabinet.

43. May the Force be with you in these lightsaber Jedi/Empire lamps.

44. Relive some great known moments in Return of the Jedi with this Jabba the Hut/Slave Leia amigurumi set.

Yes, I'm sure plenty of young men will fondly remember seeing Princess Leia in that skimpy outfit. And I'm sure plenty of women will remember when she saved herself by strangling Jabba the Hutt to death with the chain around her neck.

45. Deck the halls this Christmas season with these Star Wars ornaments.

Man, they seem to have quite a painted collection here like Slave Leia and Han Solo in carbonite. Still, you have to admire the pant job on these.

46. For your little Jedi, this Star Wars mobile will do just nicely.

Is it just me or is that one of the cutest renditions of the Death Star I have ever seen. Still, have you got the impression that someone had too much time on their hands for this one?

47. Celebrate this Christmas by hanging one of these Star Wars stockings.

50. Why not catch rats than with this Admirak Ackbar mouse trap?

Now this is funny. But still, Admiral Ackbar deserves more respect than having someone paint a mouse trap for him.

Now this is funny. But still, Admiral Ackbar deserves more respect than having someone paint a mouse trap of him.

51. Nothing makes a Star Wars home better than a sampler of, “Bless this Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy.”

Not something you read from a sampler very often. But still, that's quite good if I do say so myself.

52. Of course, you aren’t the ultimate Star Wars fan until you have this Chewbacca bird feeder.

Now this looks quite doable. Just get a milk carton, glue it with a bunch of ripped up popsicle sticks, paint it brown, and add some googly eyes and teeth.

54. Keep your iPhone standing with your very own R2-D2 tree stump stand.

Now this not only makes you look like a big Star Wars fan, but it has a great rustic feel. Perfect for any sci-fi hunting lodge.

57. When it comes to bicycle safety, this R2-D2 helmet will do quite nicely.

Actually this woman painted her helmet to make it look like R2-D2. Still, she's bound to get a lot of guys at Comic Con with it.

58. Put your fashion sense squarely on the Dark Side with this Darth Vader pin-up dress.

Who knew the fashion of the 1950s and the power of the Dark Side can go so well together? Of course, I tend to find your lack of fashion sense disturbing.

61. If you’re lonely in a desert land, perhaps this Tatooine Bantha amigurumi could keep you company.

Now this is so adorable. Still, I wonder how these creatures can take the heat on a desert planet like Tatooine. It would be more understandable to see them on Hoth.

62. Shimmer on the Dark Side of the Force in this Darth Vader dress.

Now they have most of the characters from the original trilogy plus Darth Maul. Nevertheless, these are adorable.

64. Keep warm this winter on the Dark Side with this Darth Vader wood stove.

Because nothing sets the mood like Darth Vader's flaming eyes staring at you in anger. Seriously, I like the design, but doesn't seem like the kind of fireplace I'd cozy up to.

65. Plant some flowers in this AT-AT planter.

Kind of funny how an Imperial Galactic Empire artillery weapon can be positioned as a planter. All thanks to some disposable materials and duck tape. Lots of duck tape.

66. Choose your Jedi weapon wisely before you jump in the pool.

Now these lightsabers are made from duck tape, Sharpie marker, and pool noodles. Won't sever limbs but won't make you look like a badass either.

69. Relive the events of the original trilogy with this Star Wars gold lamp.

Now this consists of some of the craft used in the movie like the Millennium Falcon, Imperial fighters, X-Wings, and an AT-AT. Still, pretty cool and ingenious.

70. Of course, every home must have a sampler of the “Serenity Prayer.”

Yes, I know some might think seeing Slave Leia and Jabba on this might be a bit off. However, it kind of fits when it comes to Slave Leia's situation.

71. Keep warm this winter with this crocheted Twilek hat.

I think Twileks are supposed to be those scanty clad women from Tatooine. Still, they seem quite popular for some reason.

72. Step in style with these R2-D2 pumps.

Well, I'm sure they might be better on your feet than those Dark Side stilettos. Still, you have to admire how these were decorated.

73. This crocheted Boba Fett cap will make you look badass as well as keep you nice and warm.

Sure Boba Fett may not be a warm fuzzy soul. But that doesn't mean a warm, fuzzy hat like this can't capture his badass spirit.

74. Keep the birds warm this winter with this R2-D2 birdhouse.

Yes, I'm sure the birds in your neighborhood would find R2-D2's adorable face on this as an inviting place to nest in. Then again, I'm sure birds don't give a shit and are bound to defecate all over this after some months outside.

76. Plant your flowers this year in these Star Wars flower pots.

Now these include R2-D2, an Imperial Stormtrooper, and Boba Fett. Also had Darth Vader, C-3PO, Yoda, and Jabba the Hutt, but I couldn't find a picture with those together.

77. Keep warm and snug this season with your very own knitted R2-D2 sweater.

Might make you look nerdy. But it's not as atrocious as many of those Christmas sweaters.

78. Grace your fireplace wall with your very own Wampa head.

I wonder if Luke Skywalker had a Wampa head on his fireplace later in life. Then again he was freezing to death on Hoth so he probably didn't have the time to collect a trophy.

79. Keep your ears warm this winter with these Princess Leia ear muffs.

Of course, since Princess Leia's iconic hairstyle resembles sticky buns, having earmuffs like this is to be expected. Still, it's pretty clever.

85. Use the Force to tend your baby’s needs with this Star Wars diaper bag.

Though I know it's a Star Wars diaper bag, I find Darth Vader's image on here ironic. Let's just say his approach to parenting falls squarely on the Dark Side since he cut off his son's hand and blew up his daughter's planet.

87. Make your Christmas in the Galactic Empire spirit with this Imperial fighter mistletoe.

Now I'm aware that the Galactic Empire are the bad guys in Star Wars. But still, you have to admire the craftsmanship on this.

On one hand, you want to kiss your loved one under this. On the other hand, you wonder if the Imperial fighter might think you’re one of the rebels and might shoot you.

88. Strap yourselves in with this R2-D2 corset.

Now since I majored in history in college, I find corsets so 19th century. And I find the idea of an R2-D2 one baffling.

89. Make your Christmas star on your tree the Death Star this holiday season.

Because nothing represents the spirit of Christmas like a space station that can destroy an entire planet with a laser beam. Still, I don't think a Death Star makes an appropriate tree topper for this reason.

90. Experience the events of the original trilogy with this Star Wars tapestry.

Clearly this was made by someone with way too much time on their hands and is probably not for sale. Still, as a history major, I can appreciate this form which is similar to the Bayeux Tapestry of 1066.

91. Take some time and relax on this Imperial Stormtrooper lawn chair.

92. Show your support for the Empire with this Death Star globe.

Now this is quite ingenious. But I'd recommend you use one that's dated from at least the 1980s for this since it doesn't have accurate borders and is probably not worth a lot of money.

93. Keep your neck warm in the Rebel Alliance with this scarf.

Now this has the Rebel Alliance symbol as well as an X-Wing fighter. Could've used these on Hoth, especially Luke Skywalker.

Be the Mockingjay with These Hunger Games Craft Projects

submit-your-hunger-games-crafts-here

Of course, like most franchises, the Hunger Games has a legion of many devoted as well as misunderstood fans. After all, you’ve seen how this plays out with the merchandising. Yes, there are plenty of fans willing to buy anything even Hunger Games stuff that misses the story’s point. Another thing that’s prevalent among Hunger Games fans are the crafts. Just look on Pinterest or Etsy to see what I mean. Better yet, see this graphic above. Of course, we all know that most Hunger Games fans are teenage girls and young women and craft projects are seen as feminine activities. However, it’s pretty clear that most NFL fans are men and I found absolutely no problem looking for NFL craft projects either. Yes, there are a lot of female football fans out there but that’s beside the point. Besides, I’ve done posts on craft projects pertaining to material mostly attributed to men like taxidermy and wood sculpture. Yes, taxidermy and wood working count as crafts too, as well metal working. But guys don’t tend to admit that. Still, in this post you’ll see plenty of fan made craft projects attributed to the Hunger Games. Some of them may be cute and clever. Some of them might be in poor taste or have some disturbing connotations. Some might make you wonder what the hell were they thinking. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasury of Hunger Games craft projects created by the fans. And no, I don’t think many of them are licensed by Lionsgate buy screw them.

  1. Remember the third Quarter Quell with this commemorative necklace.
Now this has stuff relating to Catching fire. There's fire of course as well as the Mockingjay, arrow, and 12 for District 12. But you also see a clock and the pearl. If you haven't read the books or see the movies, you wouldn't understand.

3. Of course, there are always plenty of supplies in the arena at the Cornucopia.

Actually the Cornucopia doesn't look like this in the books or the movies. But let's just say plenty of tributes die there on the first day for obvious reasons.

4. No song is more iconic in The Hunger Games than “The Hanging Tree.”

Of course, this song is about a guy wanting his girlfriend to commit suicide with him. And it's possible that he might be the guy who murdered three. Happy stuff.

5. Show your love for the Hunger Games by making your own Mockingjay pin.

Then again, sure it might not be like the ones they sell. But it doesn't look that bad to me either. The bird is just perfect.

7. Show your love for the Hunger Games with this Mockingjay blanket.

Kind of reminds me of an Andy Warhol pop art style picture. Of course, it probably too much longer to make.

8. Be like Katniss and make your own bow and arrows.

I think set was used for a Katniss costume if I'm not mistaken. Still, let's nobody shoots anyone's eye out with that.

11. Keep warm with this Mockingjay blanket.

So I guess the blue and red are there because they were the colors of the later tow book covers. But the Mockingjay stands as clear as day.

14. Of course, you can always make your own tracker jacker nest.

Tracker jackers are genetically engineered wasps created by the Capitol to control people. They're fiercely aggressive and their venom causes powerful hallucinations and/or death. You're better off dealing with Africanized killer bees.

Yes, nothing says,

24. If you like Finnick, then you’ll like this shell necklace.

Yeah, Finnick may be seen as a pretty boy and ladies' man. However, in reality, he has a girlfriend with PTSD and is forced to whore himself to rich people in the Capitol. Pretty tragic I might say.

25. Grace your table with a white rose from President Snow.

Let's just say if it's white and smells stronger than what a normal rose should, President Snow was probably there. And yes, it's okay to feel uncomfortable about it.

Yes, the girl from District 5 who lasted incredibly long in the Hunger Games without killing or making alliances. However, we're not sure about whether she knew the berries she stole from Peeta were poisonous.

Wouldn't think that they'd put a lump of coal on a golden chain. This is especially since that coal is becoming less of a viable energy source because it's an incredibly dirty fossil fuel.

Now I have to admire the craftsmanship here since it's very detailed. But we have to realize that 22 kids died there. Think about it.

Of course, those berries are poisonous that Katniss and Peeta made a suicide pact with them. You know so they wouldn't have to kill one another.

Said to contain a replica of a pearl before the arena was destroyed and he was captured by the Capitol. What happened to him after that was just so horrifying.

The Spooky World of Halloween Pumpkin Dioramas

home-family-cristina-crafts-diy-pumpkin-die-oramas

Most of you might know that Halloween is the time of year when people carve pumpkins into jack o’ lanterns and other carvings. However, for those who might be bored with the idea of carving pumpkins, you might want to consider an alternative. And while doing my post on Halloween crafts, I found just the thing: pumpkin dioramas. This just entails cutting a pumpkin from the side, taking any stuff out, and decorating the inside however you please. Or you can just use a foam one wherever they sell them. And while it’s not nearly as popular as the Easter peep dioramas, you still have some of these on Pinterest. You can also see quite a few tutorials on the subject as well if you’re interested. Now many pumpkin dioramas consist of Halloween scenes like graveyards, haunted houses, pumpkin patches, and the like. And like jack o’lanterns, they’re usually lit from the inside, too. But if you’re a repressed art major or someone looking for a different kind of crafting, then be my guest. So without further adieu, here are some spooky pumpkin dioramas.

  1. Heard that a giant pumpkin can offer a comfy living accommodation for any witch.
Odd, I'd usually expect a haggard witch like her to cook some potion. But this one seems to enjoy knitting for some reason. Then again, it might just be a hobby.

2. Of course, sometimes jail time can really take the life out of you.

Looks like the guy holding the bars isn't the only person who literally died in there. Just look at the others inside. He seems to have very good company.

3. So I guess this is the broom parking zone.

And it seems the witches got there almost twenty minutes before midnight. Of course, I'm not sure if the zombies are happy in this neck of the cemetery.

4. Looks like the owl has really made itself at home in this pumpkin.

Now this is quite rustic for a pumpkin diorama. But still, really like the owl in its hole. Not very scary but very fitting for fall.

5. Of course, at night, the cemetery can be a hopping place.

Yeah, nothing in the cemetery compares to the sight of skeletons and mummies dancing. Hey, wait a minute, aren't mummies supposed to be in Egypt? What the hell is it doing here?

6. At some old houses, it can get quite scary at night, especially if they’re haunted.

This is especially true if the house in question has their very own family cemetery. Like the crow, though.

7. Not sure if I ever want to go into this witch’s pumpkin patch at night.

Now I like how the pumpkins seem to glow in the dark. Still, that tree seems to have a lot of large fruit.

8. The cemetery can be a rather bleak place on autumn nights.

Now this one uses twigs for bare trees as well as moss for the graveyard ground. Not sure if the leaves are real.

9. Seems like a lot of people got hanged in this area.

Now this is quite neat. Still, I'm not sure if there would be an area with skeletons on a noose like that. I'm sure people would see that.

10. Seems like the earth isn’t safe with these pumpkin aliens.

Now this is clever. This used a pumpkin as a flying saucer or UFO and small green pumpkins as aliens.

11. Looks like the zombies are out messing around this time of night.

Of course, who says that the dead aren't a very lively bunch? Still, like how this person used a light bulb for the moon.

12. Now this graveyard seems like a ghostly hangout.

Not sure what's under the ghosts (probably wires or foam). But I do like the one on top.

13. Guess the graveyard shift isn’t as dull as it’s cracked up to be.

Seems like the skeletons are having fun and are making no bones about it. And there's even one with a top hat and cane.

14. Of course, there’s nothing like spending Halloween in the North Pole.

Hey, I didn't say that pumpkin dioramas had to be about Halloween stuff. Still, not sure if the people can fit into the igloo.

15. Nighttime is said to be when you can hear the wolf howling at the moon.

I'm not sure if wolves really howl at the moon. I mean howling could just as easily be a form of long distance communication for them.

Let's hope they didn't get the bones from the graves. Because that would be bad. Really bad.

Let’s hope they didn’t get the bones from the graves. Because that would be bad. Really bad. Still, like the lamp post.

17. A pumpkin and a bouquet of black roses are all that a skeleton needs for a date.

Yes, he may be all bones by now. But he seems smiling and ready for action.

18. It’s said to be customary for some people to tell ghost stories at a Halloween bonfire.

Guess the kid dressed is Batman seems quite frightened. Then again, the lighting makes the atmosphere quite eerie.

19. Using purple light for your diorama can certainly make a graveyard scene look grim.

Now that pipe cleaner tree looks straight out of some Dr. Seuss story. And that grim looks certainly menacing.

20. It’s fairly apparent the fairies love to frolic in spring gardens.

Yes, it's a fairy scene in a pumpkin. I know that pumpkins are fall plants while flowers are spring. Yes, it's kind of confusing.

21. Remember, it always pays to show up around dusk for the graveyard shift.

Now this kind of looks like dusk since the inside is painted white. But the skeleton looks just as menacing from the shadows.

And it seems like she's headed towards the snack table. Still, the decorations in the room are certainly vintage.

23. Of course, nothing captures the woodland spirit than a scene with deer.

Just so you know that you can't shoot deer on Halloween. Because deer hunting season begins after Thanksgiving. Why the makers of Out of the Furnace didn't know this, I'm not sure.

24. Sometimes spending time outside the casket can look quite frightening to living human onlookers.

From the view in this picture, this scene looks quite menacing, especially with the skeleton in the coffin and the other surrounding him. Still, you have to love the bow on this.

25. There are sometimes spending Halloween nights in graveyards can be a ghoulish experience.

Now unlike many of the pumpkin dioramas here, this one is carved in a rather unusual way to give it a spooky feel. Still, not sure how that can be pulled off.

26. Seems like this mummy is definitely no fan of the great white archaeologist.

Finally, a pumpkin diorama with an appropriate mummy scene. However, I'm not sure if Egypt has that many palm trees near the Valley of Kings.

27. Guess the undead Wild West was quite lively in its day.

Not sure if the moss is appropriate but it sure brings a creepy vibe. Still, love the western clad skeletons in this.

28. Of course, it always pays to spend time studying in the library.

Man, kind of disappointed that this doesn't look decrepit. Just looks like somebody studying in the library, possibly in the evening hours.

29. When doing a pumpkin graveyard scene, make sure to make it as creepy as possible.

Now this looks quite messy with all the lights mangled for a pink glow sky and the ground that appears covered in last year's Christmas decorations. Still, quite appropriate for Halloween.

30. Fall is the time when wolves howl at the full moon at night.

Hey, wolves don't howl just for the sake of it. They howl to make other packs know about their family presence. There's nothing creepy about it.

31. Sometimes you can create a whole wilderness in just one little pumpkin.

Now I wonder how someone pulled this off. Then again, the pumpkin is probably bigger than it appears in this photo.

Now this is another one of these intricately cut pumpkins. Still, I do like the lighting in this. Very eerie if you get my drift.

33. Seems like these astronauts have encountered some alien lifeform near Earth.

Now this one is quite creative. Still, not sure why the fuzzy guy in this isn't wearing a space suit. I mean space exists in a vacuum and if you have no suit on, you're dead.

Now the props used in this seem to consist of paper cutouts. And there's only a little bit of light to bring in some eerie atmosphere in this one.

35. Seems like this skeleton wants his jack o’lantern all to himself.

Now this one seems quite simple to make and doesn't seem to require a lot of materials. Of course, the trees are made from pipe cleaners and don't seem very big.

36. Looks like this skeleton wants to rise and shine out from his coffin.

Now this also looks pretty doable. Still, not sure if the skeleton is male or female. Then again, skeletons tend to be made with narrow pelvises anyway, which usually indicate male.

37. Leave a pumpkin hollowed out too long and it will become a place for a spider to spin its web.

Now this doesn't seem to take much work at all. Then again, there's a choice between regular spiderweb or cobweb.

38. Of course, nothing commemorates Halloween more than a pumpkin diorama of Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin.

Seriously, Linus should just wait for the Great Pumpkin after trick or treating. But you know, he never seems to give up hope that the Great Pumpkin would show up someday. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

39. I guess this house is really haunted with ghosts. Wouldn’t you agree?

Once again, this is mostly paper decorations. However, you wouldn't want to stay in a house like that.

40. This one is known as, “Death’s Coffee Break.”

Because even though Death has a rather busy schedule, he still needs to make time for a cup of joe. Yeah, he tends to work very odd and long hours.

41. “Hello, and welcome to this pumpkin home.”

Looks a bit small for a doll like that. And there doesn't seem to be a lot of space. Still, she might have plenty of food.

42. There’s nothing more teeth clenching than seeing a pirate having to battle snakes for his treasure on a deserted island.

Contrary to popular belief, pirates didn't bury their treasure since most of them didn't expect to live long. Nor did they battle giant monster snakes. Still, this looks pretty cool.

43. Remember that there’s no party like a Halloween party.

Now this one looks pretty cramped. And all you see is a table and decorations. Wonder how big the pumpkin is.

44. I’m sure a cozy home like this should be plenty for 3 witches.

Seems like they're making potions in there. Hope one of them doesn't cause a fire or anything worse.

45. A pumpkin like this shows a world during the time of the dinosaurs.

Actually this might be the Cretaceous  period as far as I can see. And they were about the last group of dinosaurs before they became extinct 65 million years ago.

46. Revisit the magical world of Harry Potter with these pumpkin dioramas.

Seems like they got Hagrid's hut from book 3 since Buckbeak appears all chained up. And I see they have Harry playing Quidditch, too.

47. For any stranded travelers on Halloween, beware of having your car break down near houses like these.

Now this paper haunted house is actually quite well designed. Still, might need more detail and appear more decrepit looking.

48. Of course, it’s possible that a raven will linger in the cemeteries at night.

Now that's a clever idea. Not sure about the size of the bird in proportion to the grave stones. But, hey, it works.

49. When green light comes into play, anything can be made as eerie as you want it.

Of course, seeing a green light like this is never a good sign. Still, at least that light is at a graveyard and not at a nuclear facility.

50. It has become apparent to me that the ferocious 3 headed dog wants to play fetch with a stick.

Of course, I'm not sure what's in the background in this one. Still, I don't think Fluffy is the kind of dog you want to play fetch with. Dogs like that can get quite nasty.

The Creepy, Crawly World of Scary Halloween Craft Projects

8fce8cb9050c6911bf242270ef319f82

Now Halloween is a holiday that pertains to many frightful decorations which include pumpkins, monsters, spider webs, skeletons, zombies, witches, ghouls, vampires, and so much more. Still, there are plenty of people who tend to go all out when it comes to decorating their homes for this scary holiday. Some decorate their homes for parties and trick or treaters. Others do it because they simply love Halloween and want to make their homes look as ghoulish and scary as possible. Of course, you can find plenty of Halloween decorations at your local store this time of year. However, sometimes it’s just cheaper and fun to make your own with rather simple materials that you can find anywhere. I mean why buy cobwebs when you can do just fine with pillow stuffing or cheese cloth? You can even use Halloween decorations, too that are easy to accessorize like skeletons and spiders. Nevertheless, many children might create Halloween decorations in school. However, this post features craft projects more likely made by people who’ve already left fifth grade behind them, particularly Halloween enthusiasts, partiers, parents, and repressed art majors wanting a creative outlet to express themselves. So without further delay to Creepyville, I now present you with a treasury of Halloween craft creations.

  1. Welcome visitors to your Halloween party with a creepy spider and feather wreath on your front door.
Let's just say anyone with arachnaphobia will sure find this wreath simply terrifying. I mean we all know at least someone who's afraid of spiders. Am I right?

2. Of course, from what I can tell by these poppies, beauty is surely in the eye of the beholder.

But having eyeballs in the flowers, well, that's just damn creepy. I mean an eyeball is creepy enough when it's not in an eye socket. Seriously, it's gross.

3. Greet trick or treaters at your front door with this monster wreath.

4. Of course, no haunted abode can be complete without your very own electric chair.

This isn't a real, working electric chair. Just a piece of Halloween decoration. Still, I have to admit, it's very well made.

5. I hear that bones are really good for wind chimes. Won’t you agree?

Yes, I know that neighbors might think there's something very wrong with you upon looking at this. Luckily, it's October so any creepy decorations like this are perfectly acceptable.

6. Experts recommend that you keep your insects in apothecary jars with green slime.

Don't worry, the bugs are made from plastic so they're not poisonous. Not sure about the green slime though.

7. For Halloween, grace your front door with this one-of-a-kind Purple People Eater Wreath.

Now this seems quite simple. But it doesn't seem too scary either. More like a purple cyclops on Sesame Street. Love the horn though.

8. Heard of a spider web? How about a spider web quilt?

Now my cousin had a giant stuffed spider named Charles when he was a kid. This would've been the perfect quilt for him at the time.

9. Make your home extra spooky by making these Halloween paper lanterns.

Use construction paper and cut out black silhouettes to stand out. You can even hang them overhead or put them on the ground. It doesn't matter.

10. Light up the living room for Halloween with a spooky lamp like this.

11. Now I’m sure Halloween is the only time this mummy wreath isn’t under wraps.

The mummy wraps seem to be made from cheese cloth. And the bow is tied with a couple of skeleton hands hanging from it.

14. Dripping candles are always a scary addition, especially if they are black and have skulls on them.

Now I think the flames aren't real but rather electric. And I think the drip is of crayon or paper machete. However, the skulls sure are sparkly and in different colors.

15. Nothing makes a Halloween party worthwhile than a bottle of boos.

That's right a bottle of haunting ghost screams bound to give you nightmares. Then again, you might experience some frightening hallucinations if you drink the amount of booze Ray Milland did in The Lost Weekend.

16. How would you want to be greeted by a scary skull like this?

17. A purple witch’s hat always has to come with a few finishing touches.

Now you have a yarn spider web in the middle. And you have balls of yarn surrounding it as well as the spiders going around the border. Pretty clever if I do say so myself.

21. Don’t have time to make another jack o’ lantern? Make some jack o’ lantern lights with jars.

And the best part is you can paint them in all kinds of different colors, too. Also, you can give them all kinds of faces. Besides, painting is much easier than carving. And safer, too.

22. So these signs show you all where you want to go? So where would it be, Transylvania, Amityville, Salem, Sleepy Hollow, or Roswell?

“Hey, Igor, Transylvania’s that way.” Still, I’d stay out of Salem in 1692. And I’d clear out of Sleepy Hollow in the 18th century. Not so sure about Amityville or Roswell.

23. Of course, if you have a pumpkin, you can use stuff from a craft store to make a centerpiece with it.

Now this pumpkin is so shiny, especially with the black bird and ribbon on top. Still, I really like the urn and the other decorations on it. So stunning and scary.

27. Want a jack o’ lantern but can’t find a big enough pumpkin? Well, using a wood crate will do nicely.

32. Milk cartons always make handy haunted houses when decorated with the right materials.

If you have a priceless trinket in your home that “belongs in a museum,” it’s a great way to ward off reckless archaeologist Indiana Jones. Seriously, when it comes to treasures, he’s willing to wreck entire ancient temples with working machinery to get them.

34. An old mirror is always great for greeting Halloween guests.

And this old mirror definitely looks like it's been in the garage for far too long. Then again, it also has black leaves on it, too. Yes, it was made like that on purpose.

Actually this is a craft project, especially since cobwebs are either gray or white. The black cobwebs is actually dyed cheese cloth. Besides, most spiders aren't that big.

Actually don't use real skeletons for this because it's illegal as well as downright creepy. A dollar store skeleton would do just fine. Still, pretty weird though and I give no bones about it.

72. Of course, your small black birds always could use a rest on a bonsai tree.

Of course, I'm not sure about the tree being alive or dead. But the birds really give it a good Halloween feel to it.

73. Now this fuzzy black wreath with flowers will certainly impress your Halloween visitors.

Now this looks like something you might find either at the Addams family house or at a funeral parlor. Then again, you might see something like this at the Munsters,' too.

74. Of course, these three witches are just outside hanging out. Not trying to scare anybody.

Man, their outfits sure look way colorful than I expected them. Seems like one of them is particularly partial to yellow for some reason.

75. Of course, Halloween wouldn’t be complete with a bloody face of skin.

Now this is disgusting. But I'm sure this is the kind of stuff you see in a slasher horror movie. Not sure if I like it though.

76. Quick! There are hands sticking out of the fireplace! Run for your lives!

Of course, this is a cardboard Halloween decoration. It won't harm anybody. Still, pretty cool if you ask me.

77. Can’t find a skeleton at the dollar store? Then make one with some milk jugs.

Now this is quite clever. Not quite close to a skeleton you find in a store. But if you want a last minute decoration, this will do fine.

78. Make your house haunted with a black flower wreath like this one.

Again, another wreath that kind of looks like it belongs in a funeral parlor. Still, I think it's pretty and I like it. So it goes on this post.

79. Oh, my God, did I just see Freddy Kreuger on the toilet?

I'm not a fan of slasher horror movies nor the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Still, I know there will be plenty of people who'd appreciate this.

80. Of course, we should all mourn the loss of the Wicked Witch of the East with a Halloween celebration in Munchkin land of course.

Then again, I think the munchkins were quite creepy in The Wizard of Oz for some reason. Still, I wouldn't touch those ruby slippers if I were you.

Then again, I think the munchkins were quite creepy in The Wizard of Oz for some reason. Still, I wouldn’t touch those ruby slippers if I were you.

81. So I guess this is what they do at witches’ meetings.

Now these witches are made of some trash bags as you see here. Still, might make my parents mad if I try to attempt this.

82. As they say, it’s not Halloween unless you can hang candles from the ceiling.

Of course, these must be toilet paper or paper towel rolls. And I'm sure the candles are fake. But still reminds me of Harry Potter for some reason. I wonder why.

83. I knew tables had legs but this is ridiculous.

Now this is creepy. If someone had a table like this, I'd question their sanity. That is, unless it's Halloween of course.

84. Welcome to our humble home, don’t mind the encased samples in the living room.

Now this is pretty disgusting. Who could've thought up with this, I may never know. Still, wonder if it might cause some trick and treaters to vomit. Then again, some might think this is cool.

85. Heard the candy corn makes great soil for these spider bushes for some reason.

Of course, despite being Halloween inspired, they still remind me of a plant you'd see in a Dr. Seuss story. Not sure why.

86. Now I wonder who these masked people clad in black are. Must be some weirdos on their way to a masquerade ball.

Now these look so creepy because they almost seem real. I swear I've seen pictures of people dressed like that at a Venice carnival.

87. Of course, a paper witch’s hat is always a great home for birds.

Not sure if the bird is a raven or crow. Then again, you can barely tell the real birds apart anyway. Well, unless they're in the same picture together. In that case, the raven is bigger.

88. Hello, everyone, and please don’t mind the remains in the trash bin. I’ve been trying to get rid of them since Tuesday.

Now this is quite disgusting. Not sure what I'd think of seeing this in somebody's yard. Still, you have to admire their use of red paint to bring out the gore.

89. For Halloween lawn decor, you might want to take a nontraditional approach with flamingos.

Well, skeleton flamingos of course. Don't know about you but I think they're far less tacky than the actual lawn ornaments we know and love.

90. Nothing to see here. Just a floating skeleton looking for the rest of his anatomy.

Of course, you might want to keep away from the candles. They might catch fire on something. Still, this is pretty clever.

91. Haunt your Halloween hideaway with these dark angels of death.

Now you can find these angels in any craft store. And you can paint them as dark and dead looking as you like, too.

92. Greet your Halloween party guests by gracing your front door with this tombstone wreath.

Not sure if anyone would find this dead funny. However, it might send some thinking that you're dead crazy. Still, the wreath looks like something you'd see in a cemetery.

93. Seems like this spider really wants to create a giant web from a giant frame.

Of course, I can bet that this web was made by a tone of black yarn. Still quite cool though. However, I doubt that a spider would spin a web that big.

94. Seems like someone’s cauldron has blown right over.

Yeah, I think leaving the cauldron bubbling like that is very irresponsible. There should be at least a witch standing by here. You never know what a potion is going to do.

95. Of course, Halloween night wouldn’t be complete without a quilt like this.

Yes, this is perhaps the ultimate Halloween quilt. But if you want one, I'd recommend buying one. Quilts take a very long time to make.

96. Heard of a jack o’ lantern? The how about a jack o’ lampshade?

Now this is quite cool if you ask me. And unlike a real pumpkin you can still use it as much as you like and it won't smell after a few weeks.

97. Hate to interrupt, but I think that plant might be watching us.

Now that's freaky. Seems like something you'd see in a mad scientist's house. A really batshit insane mad scientist with a German accent like Peter Lorre. Or Conrad Veidt.

98. Who knew that spiders spin their webs in picture frames?

Now this looks quite simple to make. Just get some string and a picture frame. Then again, it might be a not at easy to make a spider web as it seems.

99. Of course, when it comes to trick or treat, the candy doesn’t hang far from the tree.

Now this is cute. Just a jack o' lantern and a small tree with treat bags. I'm sure people will love this.

Share a Toast This Ocktoberfest with These Wunderbar Bier Steins

Here's a picture of a collectible Budweiser Beer Stein in the basement of my house. It's been at my home for as long as I can remember. But it's always been used for decoration. Guess it something that belonged to my dad.

For fall, you might’ve heard about Ocktoberfest which to Americans seems like a German secular, Saint Patrick’s Day. You know, a kind of occasion that’s used to celebrate an ethnic culture as an excuse to get drunk. I mean in late September and early October, you tend to find a lot of local places hosting their own Ocktoberfest events usually consisting of people eating German food, men in lederhosen and women in skimpy German dresses, and everyone drinking lots of beer. But what you may not know is that Ocktoberfest is a real folk festival in Munich that spans from late September up to the first Sunday in October that attracts 6 million people from around the world annually. And aside from the traditional fare, it includes a lot of games and amusement rides. They have held this festival since the marriage of Bavaria’s future King Ludwig I (then crown prince) and Princess Therese Charlotte Luise of Saxony-Hildburghausen (try pronouncing that name) on October 12, 1810. The citizens of Munich were all invited to attend the festivities on the fields of what is now Theresienwiese (“Theresa’s Meadow”) which lasted for 5 days. And to end the celebrations, there was major horse race. Of course, the citizens of Munich enjoyed the festivities so much that they decided to repeat the celebrations in order to promote agriculture. Thus, it has become an important cultural event in Bavaria ever since. Of course, since Ocktoberfest is known for people drinking beer, Germany is also known for its beer steins which are tall beer glasses. Many of them tend to have lids but not always. And they can be made of glass, ceramic, or pewter. Still, they’re all used to drink beer. And while I’ll show you some traditional beer steins, I’ll show some off-beat and pop culture ones as well. So in commemoration for Ocktoberfest, I bring you an assortment of all the different kinds of beer steins. Enjoy.

  1. Now this is a stein fit for our rescue heroes.
For some reason, this doesn't look like a traditional stein to me. More like a beer stein with a similar design you'd see on a plastic kids' mug.

2. Of course, it sometimes pays to have one on the house, especially if it’s a castle.

Not sure if this is Neuschwanstein Castle or some other fairy tale palaces. Still, can't imagine drinking out of that thing.

Heard this is Falkenstein castle. But it kind of resembles Neuschwanstein to me for some reason. Then again, I’m more familiar with the latter.

3. Salute our canine heroes with this police dog beer stein.

Fittingly for Ocktoberfest, it's of a German Shepherd. And it's wearing its own little police outfit, too. Yeah, not sure what policemen would think about this.

4. Of course, even a monk has to take a swig of beer now and then.

Interestingly, the association with monks and beer goes way back to the Middle Ages. In fact, it's not unusual for German monks to brew beer. The Bavarian monks at my college Saint Vincent in Latrobe did at some point as well.

5. For Ocktoberfest, show your love for the U-S-of-A with this beer stein of a bald eagle on a motorcycle.

Seems like this eagle is too big for his ride. Also, he's not wearing a helmet. Besides, why ride a motorcycle when he could just fly? Then again, it's all about symbolism, is it?

6. As they say, nobody is happier on Ocktoberfest than a pig in lederhosen.

A pig dancing in lederhosen. And it has big tusks, too. Still, this is pretty tacky if you ask me.

7. If you like Hollywood glamour and think diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then these Marilyn Monroe beer steins are for you.

I don't know about these. Yes, Marilyn Monroe was an American icon. But does she really belong on a beer stein? At least a commemorative beer stein with Marlene Dietrich, Conrad Veidt, or Peter Lorre would be more understandable.

8. Celebrate America this Ocktoberfest with a beer stein depicting Thomas Kinkade’s painting of the US Capitol.

Yes, Thomas Kinkade beer steins do exist unfortunately. For some reason a bad artist like Kinkade has his fans. Still, kill it, kill it with fire.

9. In the future there will be portals, which will allow you to take your beer from the tap from anywhere.

Now this seems quite interesting. Some people might wish bars would operate like that all the time, especially waiters.

10. Sometimes drinking on Ocktoberfest makes you feel like an old goat.

Ironically, he doesn't seem to be drinking from a stein here. Also, he's crouched over on a stump. Still, quite tacky.

11. This card deck beer stein is perfect for any poker night.

Of course, not sure if drinking inhibits one's ability to play cards. Then again, it probably does. Still, drinking and gambling seem to go together hand in hand.

12. For those born to ride, this beer stein is for you.

Had no idea that motorcycle fans have their on beer steins. Of course, this one sports a handle in the shape of a beer tap.

13. Of course, you can’t go all out at the bar without a Moscow beer stein like this.

Now this is pretty elaborate. Hate to drink out of that thing. Wonder if Putin has a stein like this.

Now this is pretty elaborate. Hate to drink out of that thing. Wonder if Putin has a stein like this. Then again, this is probably something you could find in any Moscow souvenir store.

14. Celebrate the yuletide season with your very own Christmas beer stein.

Yes, Christmas steins do exist. However, isn't Santa supposed to have like 8-9 reindeer pulling his sleigh. Then again, it's supposed to depict Germany and they might have a different tradition.

15. A rustic stein like this might bring you back to nature.

Then again, perhaps boozing during hunting season isn't a good idea. I don't have to imagine what could happen. Might want to stick with something else instead.

16. Of course, a wild hog can’t go without a beer stein like this.

Wonder how he manages to fit all his animals on one motorcycle. Guess we'll never really know for sure.

17. Arr, drink your rum like a pirate with a stein like this.

Not sure if it's Blackbeard. But it does have a lot of nice colors. Still, we should remember that pirates during their heyday drank a lot of booze and didn't bathe or shave. Also, most of them didn't make it past 30.

18. It’s always said that dem booze goes well with dem bones.

Well, not sure what's up with him being covered white stuff while he's sitting on a barrel. Still, this stein is more appropriate for a Halloween party.

19. Nothing echoes the spirit of Ocktoberfest than a dachshund in lederhosen.

Now the dachshund is another German breed. You'd know that they're wiener dogs, but they can be quite aggressive. Still, I really don't see how anyone looks good in lederhosen. Really I don't.

20. Help yourself to the great taste of Coors Light with this Coors Light beer stein.

Actually don't. My dad says that it's like drinking soda water with alcohol. Yeah, not a great taste.

21. Spend Ocktoberfest at the beach with this Corona Extra Blue Parrot Club beer stein.

For some reason I don't see Corona having a beer stein. I mean they're Spanish in name and usually have their commercials on sunny beaches.

22. Of course, it ain’t Ocktoberfest without some cigars.

I'm sure there might be at least some bars in Munich with a no smoking policy. Then again, not sure what I think about smoking in bars because I never go to any.

23. Celebrate Halloween with a beer stein of Frankenstein’s monster.

Then again, Ocktoberfest and Halloween are in the same month. Well, sort of. Still, this is quite funny and clever. Wouldn't mind having one like that.

24. Those who like busty German women might enjoy a stein like this.

Now this is in pretty poor taste. Like having a boob mug or boob anything. Seriously, if a guy had this, I'd question his taste in decorating.

25. Support your local sheriff with this canine sheriff beer stein.

Appropriately it's also a German Shepherd as well. Still, it can also count as a State Trooper beer stein. I mean stateys wear the same outfits.

26. Honor your local firefighters for their service with a stein like this.

Of course, if you live in the US, it would be even better to write to your US Congressman to show support for policy supporting 9/11 first responders. Now those people need to be treated like the heroes they are.

27. Support your WWII veterans with this commemorative D-Day beer stein.

Of course, this might get your WWII vet grandpa in a frenzy on how he whooped the Nazis on the beaches of Normandy. Or his complaints of how Saving Private Ryan isn't historically accurate in regards to swearing.

28. Fox hunters everywhere would enjoy their very own foxhound beer stein.

We should also not forget that it's not uncommon for some fox hunters to booze up before the hunt. Yeah, would you want to see a drunk person on a horse with a gun? Not if you're right next to them Or in front of them.

29. Enjoy a Corona this Ocktoberfest with this gecko beer stein.

First, blue parrots and now lizards. Not sure which one I'd prefer. Still, Corona's steins really don't have the Ocktoberfest spirit in my opinion.

30. Creep out your friends this Halloween by drinking out of your very own skull beer stein.

Heard that Lord Byron used to do this all the time. However, he'd drink from actual skulls. This one is ceramic, which is significantly less disgusting.

31. With this beer stein, your Ocktoberfest is sure to be elementary.

Of course, Sherlock Holmes didn't really wear a deerstalker outfit in the books on a regular basis. That was country attire and was the Victorian equivalent of wearing camo and bright orange.

32. Honor America’s Civil War heritages with these beer steins of Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, and Ulysses S. Grant.

Now why does Robert E. Lee's stein have a Capitol dome on it? The guy fought for the Confederacy. Guess the steins all had to match in form.

33. Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day with your very own “Luck of the Irish” beer stein from Budweiser.

Nothing says Saint Patrick's Day than having a German-American beer brand commemorate an Irish Catholic holiday. Look, Bud, Saint Patrick's day is Guinness's turf here.

34. Nothing shows the spirit of Bavaria than a beer stein of a monk making his own brew.

Yes, monks made their own beer at one point in history. And in Germany, nobody saw anything wrong with it. Not so in America as Bonifice Wimmer found out.

35. Show your high class snobbery with this Fabrege egg beer stein.

Of course, this one will probably cost an arm and a leg. Also, doesn't seem to hold a lot either. So probably not worth it.

36. Nothing shows the true Scottish spirit than a kilt wearing Scottie with bagpipes and golf clubs.

Don't see anything stereotypical about this one (sarcasm). Still, despite being a wee bit Scottish, I kind of find the sound of bagpipes annoying as hell.

37. Remember that all work and praying just wears a poor monk out before a beer.

Yes, I know people might think holy men shouldn't drink or make alcohol. However,  the German association with monks and beer is deeply rooted in historical fact. Monasteries made beer. Get used to it.

38. Come to the farm with this Clydesdale stable beer stein, courtesy of Budweiser.

Love how the horses are sticking out the window of these. Also, always enjoyed the Budweiser Clydesdale Super Bowl commercials. Even on bad years, they weren't terrible to watch.

39. Of course, I can’t do a post on beer steins for Ocktoberfest without including one with a pretzel handle.

Got to have one with a pretzel somehow. After all, pretzels are among the foods associated with Ocktoberfest. That and sausage.

40. Of course, who says you can’t enjoy Ocktoberfest from the seat of your pants?

Yes, this is a beer stein depicting a pair of pants from Bavaria. No, I am not making this up. Believe me, I came across this on Pinterest.

41. Goose step your way into a Third Reich Ocktoberfest with this Nazi beer stein.

Actually don't because Hitler and his Nazi thugs were very horrible people. However, I'm showing a picture of this Nazi beer stein for historical purposes. Yes, the Nazis did celebrate Ocktoberfest and they drank from Anti-Semitic steins like these. So to my viewers, do not, under any circumstances, buy or use this stein. I repeat do not buy or use this stein.

I repeat do not buy or use this stein.

42. Of course, beware of the muscle monster from a beer stein like this.

Now this is so creepy, especially since the monster has absolutely no skin. Just seems like he's all muscle. Maybe I think you might want to stick with the beer stein depicting Frankenstein.

43. Of course, steins aren’t meant for milk, but this cow print one has a down home taste.

Now this looks quite tacky. Then again, I view all animal prints that way. Still, wouldn't want to be caught dead drinking from that.

44. Nothing shows German spirit than a beer stein of a crocodile playing golf?

Now I can understand if this was made in America since gators and crocs are plentiful in the South. And Florida isn't shy to admit that. But this was made in Germany. And Germany isn't known for its crocodile population. So seriously, why?

45. Of course, you can’t have Ocktoberfest without a beer stein of a saxaphone playing bulldog.

Well, at least the bulldog has a cigar like Winston Churchill. Still, I have to confess that I really don't associate bulldogs with big band or jazz music.

46. Salute the King of Rock n’ Roll this Ocktoberfest with your very own Elvis Presley Blue Suede Shoe beer stein.

Wouldn't imagine seeing a beer stein commemorating Elvis. Nor one as tacky as this. Still, a beer stein commemorating his Vegas years would've been more appropriate.

47. Celebrate this Ocktoberfest in Gotham City with your very own beer stein of its most famous Dark Knight.

Of course, it would be interesting to know how Batman would celebrate his Ocktoberfest. I mean it's seen as a happy fun time. Batman isn't known for his cheerfulness.

48. Celebrate the holidays with your very own Budweiser Clydesdale beer stein.

Budweiser may not make the best beer. But they're pretty smart about promoting it with their Budweiser Clydesdale steins, especially around Christmas. Because everyone loves them.

49. For those on Wall Street, a stein with a bull and wolf stockbrokers will do nicely.

Now I know the bull stands for Bull market. So does this mean that the wolf is "the Wolf of Wall Street"? Then again, I always wonder which people on Wall Street are trying to avoid a jail sentence.

50. Enjoy Ocktoberfest in the halls of Valhalla with your very own Viking helmet beer stein.

We should be aware that the Vikings never wore horned helmets in battle. That was Wagner's doing in his operas. Also, the lid might pose a safety hazard to others. Then again, it's probably a collectible anyway.

51. This beer stein gives you just what the doctor ordered.

I posted a similar one for my post on mugs but it was for coffee. But I'm sure anyone who drinks out of this is bound to be drunk off their ass. I wonder if I should get this for my Uncle Frank who's a doctor. Then again, I gave him a Steeler mug last year.

52. Now this stein shows that any man can be classy in a top hat and cane.

For some reason, this stein kind of reminds me of Sir Patrick Stewart. You know Professor X and Captain Picard. Not sure why.

53. Feast like a Hobbit this Ocktoberfest with this commemorative beer stein.

Now if you drink beer in this stein before elevencies, you might need to go on the Middle Earth Twelve Step Program. Still, nice artwork by the way.

54. Boldly go where no man has gone before this Ocktoberfest with this one of a kind Star Trek beer stein.

According to Mr. Spock, Ocktoberfest is one of those times of year when humanity is at its most illogical. This after Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Saint Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, New Years, and 4th of July. Meanwhile who knows where and with whom Captain Kirk wakes up on board during the festivities.

55. Now this large stein is certainly fit for a king.

If you need a stein like this to hold your beer, I say you may need serious help, my friend. Yeah, definitely need to get to rehab or AA. Or as they say in the fairy tale world, "a Twelve-Step adventure."

56. Aristocrats in the 18th and 19th centuries preferred their steins gilded with Grecian figures.

Yes, this is an old beer stein. Unfortunately, for anyone who wants one like this, I'm afraid it's not for sale. And to quote the world's worst archaeologist, "It belongs in a museum."

62. Drink your beer like a Viking with this Viking beer stein horn.

Once again, Viking helmets didn't have horns, at least most of the time. Other than that, it's quite fitting. Yeah, can totally see Vikings boozing through drinking horns.

65. Take a swig on the high seas with this maritime bear stein, lads.

Now this one includes a wooden ship as well as dolphins, whale, and a figurehead mermaid handle. Hope this isn't celebrating Moby Dick because we know what happened there.

66. Celebrate the spirit of German engineering with this beer stein commemorating the zeppelin.

Okay, this beer stein actually commemorates the Hindenburg. Yeah, you know the one that burst into flames during the 1930s which led a radio broadcaster say, "Oh, the humanity." Then again, it could be worse. Could be Volkswagen.

67. Enjoy the city of lovers this Ocktoberfest with this beer stein of gay Paree.

Had this been in Midnight in Paris, the movie would've been way tackier than I remember it. Still, don't really think of beer steins when I think of Paris. Or France in that matter.

Of course, this one is especially ferocious. Because she's a mom and you know what mother monsters are like toward their young. Still, these look very cool.

Yes, I know this happened years ago. But still, a NFL beer stein is more understandable. NFL lingerie, not so much.

70. Seems like this pug is part of some barbershop quartet from what I can tell.

Yeah, I don't get the the association with beer steins and pugs. Still, like the snazzy suit, porkpie hat, and the barber pole handle.

72. Use the Force to celebrate this Ocktoberfest in a galaxy far, far away with your very own Star Wars beer stein.

Let's just say I'm sure celebrating Ocktoberfest at Mos Eisley might lead you to the Dark Side of the Force. Still, these include Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and Boba Fett. Well, at last as I can tell.

75. Those from Australia might delight in seeing a stein dedicated to the Land Down Under.

Of course, I'm not sure why Australia would want to have a stein for this country. Then again, Germany and Australia are known to be big beer drinking countries.

76. Show off your American pride this Ocktoberfest with this commemorative beer stein.

Now this one has a lid with the Liberty Bell, baby. Also has other stuff America's known for as well. Probably could be found in a lot of souvenir shops in the US during the 1970s.

This reminds me of a German song they sang on Animaniacs. Of course, they ended up taking the chef's clothes off and pissed him off. But, oh well. It was funny.

78. Drink like a warrior with these Warhammer beer steins.

Not sure what Warhammer is. Wonder if it's on the same level as World of Warcraft. Still, must be popular enough to have a line of beer steins.

80. Of course, nothing brings the spirit of Old Bavaria than a beer stein of Neuschwanstein.

Yes, this is a stein of Mad King Ludwig II's fairy tale castle itself. In it's day it drained the kingdom's finances in its construction. Today, it's now Bavaria's most popular tourist destination.

The Carving World of Wood Sculpture

birds1

We use wood for all kinds of things. We use it to build stuff. We use it to make furniture. We use it to burn for fuel. However, there are some people who use wood for creating works of art whether through carving, chainsaw, or whatever. Of course, I’m talking about wood sculpture. Sure you might see some neat carvings at festivals. Still, while wood may be flammable, biodegradable, and vulnerable to insect damage, it’s fairly easy material to sculpt. Unlike metal, you don’t need to make a mold or use any fire unless you want to. Unlike glass, it’s not delicate and easily breakable (well, for the most part). Unlike clay and ceramics, you don’t need to put it in a kiln. And unlike stone, you don’t need to continuously hammer it with a chisel unless you want to. Just take any assortment of cutting tools from your local hardware store and cut away. Not to mention, wood is a rather light material and take in fine detail. Nevertheless, wood sculpting has been extremely widely practiced and forms an important but hidden element of many cultures. The Native Americans tribes in the Pacific Northwest are a major example since they build totem poles (though we know little of how that tradition developed since wood tends to decay. And outdoor sculpture doesn’t last long). But you’d find some form of wood sculpting tradition all over the world which is still practiced today. I mean you still have wood sculpting at festivals in the summer and fall as well as contests. Hell, you can even buy some wood sculptures for indoor use online. Of course, some types of wood are easier to carve in than others. So without further adieu, I now present to you an assortment of wood sculptures for your reading pleasure.

  1. Seems like this fox is either stumped or is just standing on a stump.
Now that's a nice color for a fox like that. However, I'm not sure if that's the color of the wood or spray paint.

2. Of course, eagles will always have to fly back to the nest.

Birds are a popular motif in wood sculpture. And you'll see a lot. However, how I see it, I think the dad is the one taking care of the chicks while the mom is spreading her wings. Because in bald eagles, the female is supposed to be bigger.

3. It seems that Mary’s little lamb has sprouted some big horns.

Contrary to popular belief, sheep aren't docile or dumb as you think they are. Sheep actually have good memories and are very social animals. Also, if cornered some will attack you.

4. You might see wood sculptures a lot during special events in the summer and fall. However, you wouldn’t see sculptures of nudes like this one.

No, can't show that in front of the kids. But at least she has a lot of highly defined features. Though I'm not sure about whether her boobs would be real if she was an actual person.

5. In North America, there is no better known red bird than the Northern Cardinal.

Now the cardinal is a very pretty bird as I can admit. However, this doesn't mean that it seven states should adopt it as their state bird. Yeah, apparently when it comes to state birds, originality doesn't seem to be the focus here.

6. This old crow is a wise and strong one among his tribe.

Then again, this might be a raven if it comes from the Pacific Northwest. They tend to be significant among that culture.

7. Of course, I wouldn’t want to cross this hawk on wood.

Not sure what the hawk is. Know it's not a red tailed or red shoulder. But it almost looks real.

8. Yes, I’m certain that bears and birds of prey can exist on the same tree.

And I guess the eagles eat whatever the bears catch. Then again, these may be cubs. The owl just goes out alone for critters.

9. Try to dance in these dancing shoes.

Then again, these shoes really don't look appropriate for clog dancing. Or ballet. Or anything. Of course, they're just for show.

10. When it comes to trees, none is more magnificent than the Tree of Life.

Now this was a sculpture that is carved from wood. Wood comes from a tree, which is currently dead from how I can tell it. See the irony here?

11. Of course, a wine chalice must always be covered in vines.

Wonder if they use something like this in churches. Then again, it's probably too delicate. Still, you have to admire the craftsmanship.

12. Now is the time for this owl to spread its wings.

Yes, it's a day time sculpture and I know that owls are active at night. But it's still quite detailed and magnificent, I may add.

13. Now a soaring hawk can be frightening as well as magnificent as it swoops for prey in flight.

Hard to believe that this hawk sculpture looks so lifelike. Seems like there's nothing to keep it held up. Love the feathers, too.

14. Ironically, water usually tends to extinguish an open flame. Not this time.

But if you try to set this statue on fire, I'm sure it will burn. And you will most likely get in big trouble for arson.

15. It can be wise to avoid a dragon, especially when it’s hanging out with its reptilian friends.

As you can see, this is an Asian carving. Probably from China or Japan. Not sure how old it is. But somehow it seems East Asian dragons tend to have scales and feathers.

16. Seems like this bird feels like letting out a loud, “kaw.”

If crows and ravens can talk, I guess you can hear them say,

If crows and ravens can talk, I guess you can hear them say, “I just love the smell of roadkill in the morning.” Seriously, the smell of decaying flesh is a delicious aroma to them.

17. Looks like one buck has just become dinner for a pack of wolves.

Actually, wolves don't act like this in real life. To them, going after a strong buck is just plain stupid. Wolves go after easier prey like the very young, sick, weak, and very old. Hell, if you see a pack of wolves eating a full grown animal, it's likely to be old and dead of natural causes. Yes, wolves will wait for an adult animal to die.

18. Now here we come to a rather playful little elephant.

Let's hope the tusks on this one aren't made from real ivory. Because that would be bad. Very bad, indeed.

19. A rose may be a rose but this one seems to have a lot of shavings.

Now that's a huge rose. Probably derived from a chainsaw carving. Kind of looks obvious.

Now that’s a huge rose. Probably derived from a chainsaw carving. Kind of looks obvious. Wonder how they’ll shake off the shavings.

20. Now this toucan certainly has a stunning beak to behold.

This is a sculpture from Costa Rica where many toucans live. Not sure which one this is. Still, very colorful beak.

21. Seems like this polar bear prefers to stand on its stump.

Now this little polar bear is adorable. Though its eyes seem a little sad. Of course, I'm not sure how it would handle climate change with the ice caps melting.

22. Now this snowy owl always seems like a beautiful snowbird in flight.

Of course, I see where it's hung. However, it's still quite gorgeous with its wings spread out like that. Kind of see why Harry had an owl like this.

23. Now this is where you put your leather jacket.

Actually that wooden jacket may look real. But it wouldn't be comfortable to wear. Well, if you can wear it. Also, what's in that pocket?

24. Now this woman is enjoying a stroll in her new hat.

And something seems to catch her eye. But I don't know what. Still, her hat seems a bit flat for some reason.

25. Now that is one big, scary moth.

Man, those wings look huge. And I bet they weren't easy to carve with a chainsaw. Still, big bugs are terrifying. Need I say more?

26. Of course, you always have to stop and smell the flowers.

Now these look quite lifelike. If they were painted with the right colors, I might not be able to distinguish them from the real thing.

Now these look quite lifelike. If they were painted with the right colors, I might not be able to distinguish them from the real thing.

27. Still, I hear that a light bulb can brighten a room any day.

Except if it's carved from wood. Yeah, I know this wouldn't do well on a dark night. Well, unless you burn it.

Except if it’s carved from wood. Yeah, I know this wouldn’t do well on a dark night. Well, unless you burn it.

28. Now this skeleton just wants to lounge around for awhile.

Guess this guy is taking a break from the graveyard shift tonight. Yeah, even undead skeletons need a little R&R now and then.

Guess this guy is taking a break from the graveyard shift tonight. Yeah, even undead skeletons need a little R&R now and then.

29. Now this horse definitely looks majestic in the sunlight.

Horses are another common motif in wood sculpture. And this one is no exception. However, if you want to buy a wooden horse as big as this, always check for Greeks.

30. Think this came from a wild cat? Think again.

Now if it weren't for the wood marks in this, you might've had this owner arrested for poaching. Still, this is quite cool.

Now if it weren’t for the wood marks in this, you might’ve had this owner arrested for poaching. Still, this is quite cool.

31. Now this angel seems to like standing by the window.

For some reason, biblical angels are typically addressed as male. But you tend to see them in artwork as female. Then again, it's said that angels in the Bible tend to look quite freaky.

32. Of course, you can’t do without a wooden sculpture of a cathedral.

This must've been carved by someone with a great deal of talent, attention to detail, and an ungodly amount of patience. And it was most likely not carved by a chainsaw.

33. Even in art, dolphins can be beautiful in the ocean.

Now this is quite stunning. However the shadows in this picture make ti a little hard to see. Must be about 6 on this.

Now this is quite stunning. However the shadows in this picture make ti a little hard to see. Must be about 6 on this.

34. A wooden rose will be best used to decorate a wooden box.

Now this looks quite lifelike and beautiful to behold. Still, I'm not sure if I'd want to use this for anything though.

Now this looks quite lifelike and beautiful to behold. Still, I’m not sure if I’d want to use this for anything though.

35. “Ah, the Norwegian Blue. Wonderful plumage.”

Actually there's no such thing as a Norwegian Blue because parrots are tropical animals. Still, this blue parrot is quite pretty if I do say so myself.

36. Remember that a sturdy trunk makes a good tractor.

Guess this tractor didn't take a lot of sawing to produce here. But it seems to require a lot of assembly. Nevertheless, quite clever.

37. Now the bald eagle has always been America’s majestic symbol.

Now this almost looks like the real thing I almost mistook it for taxidermy. You see, how great wood is used for carving stuff?

38. Of course, this mermaid is sure to let anyone go with her under the sea.

Still, in a lot of mythologies, while mermaids are usually pretty, they're not always nice or bright. In fact, some legends have them drown sailors through their songs.

39. If painted, this lighthouse is bound to look pretty on a postcard.

Of course, I wouldn't want to take this lighthouse on any beach. And if it was smaller, you'd see it at some souvenir shop in New England.

40. With handcrafted flowers, any beauty creations are possible.

Wonder if these flowers would look any prettier with colors on them. Then again, maybe not. Best not disturb what the artist intended, shall we?

41. Seems like these feathered fantasy creatures are really getting at it.

And it seems that this fight is costing each one some of their feathers. Not sure what these two creatures are. Think the artist made them up.

42. This wooden motorcycle puts the pedal to the paddle.

Well, saying

Well, saying “pedal to the metal” would be pretty ridiculous here. Also, I’m sure it doesn’t do well with gasoline.

43. Sorry, rabbit, but you ain’t coming home tonight.

Seems like it's going to be rabbit stew at the hawk's nest tonight. Yeah, that rabbit never had the chance. Sure this might look quite frightening but it's how nature works, kids.

44. When it comes to eagle mating, just lock talons and spin.

Now this is quite an amazing sculpture. Wonder how the person who created this pulled it off. Not to mention, painting the thing.

45. Guess this is the music equipment for the Stumps.

Sure the woodwork is fine. But I don't think the equipment is guaranteed to work. Still, quite a set up here.

46. Not every bird of prey can sit on a ledge majestically as this hawk.

You should know that birds of prey are popular subjects in wood sculpture. Because case in point, birds of prey are cool. Just ask anyone.

47. This black bear has been working on the railroad all the livelong day.

Seems like he's the one holding the lamp so he can devour some tasty railroad workers. But sometimes railroad work can be simply unbearable, even to a bear in coveralls.

48. Even churches may sometimes have their share of intricate woodwork. This is depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

This is from a medieval cathedral in Europe. And man, how they did this without power tools must be some act of the Holy Spirit working the carvers who made this. How else can I explain stuff like this.

49. Now this is the sculpture pertaining to what lovers dream.

Of course, the position of these two figures is highly unrealistic. And it was probably executed this way to hide the man's genitalia.

50. Seems like this eagle has managed to get the catch of the day.

Yes, it was quite the flight but it was worth it. Still, wonder what kind of fish that is. Guess it's from some freshwater source.

51. There is no better wood sculpture that defines American character than this one of American Gothic.

Yes, it's perhaps the most famous painting in American art. And it's been parodied for decades. Sometimes I'm not sure why.

52. It’s always handy to carry a change purse with you, especially if it has a chain.

Now I wonder how they managed to carve out the chain. Would be very interesting to know. Love the floral design.

53. Someone seems in the mood for a rustic convertible.

Then again, it might be cheaper to go with a cedar cedan. Also, kind of looks like a Volkswagen which is known for being

Then again, it might be cheaper to go with a cedar cedan. Also, kind of looks like a Volkswagen which is known for being “eco-friendly” until they’re not.

54. Ladies and gentleman I give you, Our Lady of the Mahogany.

Now this is another very old wood sculpture which you can't buy. Might've been carved by a famous artist from centuries ago. Not sure who.

55. This Indian seems really taken with the view.

Native Americans seem to be a common subject in wood sculpture for some reason. At least in America. By the way, this is a Plains Indian. And not all Indians dress like that.

56. Guess this guy is traveling to his destination by bird.

This is an old Japanese artwork which is unsurprisingly not for sale. It was probably made in Japan's medieval era. Not sure what legend this recounts.

57. Of course, you can’t round off North American birds without including the Blue Jay.

Now I like blue jays and think they're rather pretty birds. But there are some people who think these birds are annoying. They don't understand.

58. Sometimes it pays to travel by Jeep, especially in the military.

Yes, this is a wooden jeep. Easy to set fire to, but not meant to drive in. But still, it really looks like a jeep but with everything furnished.

59. Of course, this piece exemplifies how Renaissance wood carvers put their modern counterparts to shame.

Now this sculpture of Mary weeping of Jesus is quite amazing. And in some ways almost looks real. However, it's no Michelangelo's Pieta.

60. Now this snake seems to have a sneaky side about it for some reason.

This is another old artwork from Japan. And it almost seems quite lifelike for a wooden snake. But it's curled in the shape of a turd.

61. Seems like this owl now has its wings right open.

Yes, this owl has its wings spread in all its glory. And yes, marvel at its feathers in all its glory. Of course, critters beware.

62. Now you can’t talk about the saints in woodwork without including Saint Michael and the Dragon (wait, a minute, isn’t it supposed to be Saint George and the Dragon?).

Now this might be a contemporary religious subject. But the wood work in this is awesome. Just look at the details here.

63. This Japanese woman always knows when to come in with style.

This piece might be of some Japanese art form which I don't know the name of. But while most of her body is wood, her head consists of ivory and metal. Also, another old medieval piece you can't buy.

64. May I present to you, this gilded Buddha.

Yes, this is a very old statue and it's paint has not worn well. However, I can be sure that this was made of wood and is not for sale.

65. You may take some birds’ presence for granted but you’ll never forget when you see a Pilated Woodpecker.

Now I'm sure that bird is bigger than the real thing. But I love the paint job. Really brings out the colors.

66. Sometimes all you need is one big quill.

Now this is Pacific Northwest Native American design. Just look at the markings. Still, wouldn't mind having that.

67. Of course, you can’t have a post on wood sculpture without penguins.

From how the chick looks here, it can go either way for the parent. Still, this is adorable if you ask me.

68. Now an elk has always been a great creature of the American West.

Well, at least there wasn't much to do with the color scheme. Still, it does look quite real and majestic when you look at it.

69. How about travel the countryside in this VW microbus?

If this was a real working vehicle, it would be one of the most eco-friendly cars around. Oh, wait, it's from Volkwagen. So this is basically false advertising.

70. Somehow this fire breathing dragon tends to rise out from the panel.

Now some of you might be familiar with dragons in East Asian culture. But you have to admit, this is pretty cool.

71. My, what a lovely hat.

Not sure if I can wear it or if I even want to. Still, it almost looks like one you'd see at a store.

Not sure if I can wear it or if I even want to. Still, it almost looks like one you’d see at a store. Then again, it would if the ribbon was painted in a color that stands out.

72. Of course, a teddy bear has always been a toy for all ages.

Yes, it may look cute but it's not cuddly. Besides, since it's a wood carving, trying to hug it might cause splinters.

73. Sometimes you’ll never know what you’ll find on other people’s clothes lines.

I'm sure wearing wooden panties wouldn't be comfortable to say the least. Might feel like wearing a chastity belt that runs the risk of causing splinters.

74. Of course, in China it would be awesome to see a dragon boat like this.

Now this is quite pretty. Wonder what a life size one would look like. Then again, you'd probably not see one in Beijing. Too much pollution.

75. When it comes to the kitchen, sometimes you can’t separate the cookbook from the cutting board.

Not sure what this person's cooking up here. Those ingredients could suggest almost anything. So could the book.

76. There are some days when you just want to devour a nice, juicy steak.

However, I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat this. It's not very tender and tastes rather woody and painty. Yeah, disgusting.

77. Sometimes wood carving can help bring a painting to life.

Now this painting is rather famous for some reason. Still, I heard it takes place in a 19th century park known for its disparate dress code policies for men and women.

78. In the event of modern war, you can’t leave your ground troops without a tank.

Of course, despite being armed with all the latest state of the art weaponry, it would be pretty useless in battle. Still, makes an awesome museum piece that boys and young men would enjoy.

79. Of course, who can’t forget that adorable robot from Disney and Pixar’s WALL-E?

Now this is so cute. Wish they had one of EVE. Of course, I can see why a wood sculpture of that one wouldn't work.

80. Still, some people tend to play their video games on their X-Box 360.

However, you wouldn't be able to play video games on this XBox 360 Console. Because it's all made from wood and just for show. Still, would go great in any entertainment center.

Not Licensed by the NFL Professional Football Craft Projects

Now the felt black and gold scarf I'm wearing was most certainly a craft project. I'm not sure where I got it from but it probably wasn't licensed by the NFL because it wasn't intended to sell.

Now the felt black and gold scarf I’m wearing was most certainly a craft project. I’m not sure where I got it from but it probably wasn’t licensed by the NFL because it wasn’t intended to sell.

Disclaimer: Some of this content may or may not be licensed by the NFL as far as I’m concerned. It’s said that products not NFL licensed can’t really be sold. But on this post, who really gives a shit. Besides, many of these products might be sold on Etsy anyways as we speak. Some might not be even on sale at all. And even if they’re not licensed and unsold, I’ll still show them anyway. So suck it, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

You normally don’t think of football and crafty projects as things that go together. I mean you always hear the joke about the guy forgoing his sports obsession so his wife can go to the craft show. However, as I’ve navigated the uncharted waters of Pinterest, you tend to find a lot of sports inspired craft projects for some reason. Of course, some may say that they were made by moms, but sometimes it’s not always the case. I mean craft projects tend to cover a wide range and I’m sure there are plenty of women sports fans. Not to mention, you have NFL legend Rosey Grier who was a defensive tackle as well as one of the original Fearsome Foursome for the then Los Angeles Rams as well as got elected to the Pro Bowl twice. However, off the field, Grier was known for his unusual hobbies like needlepoint and macrame. Not only that, but he also wrote a book in 1973 called Rosey Grier’s Needlepoint for Men. So let’s just say the association between the NFL and craft projects isn’t as far fetched as you think. And I guarantee that people make all kinds of things to support their team as you might see on Pinterest or Etsy. So if you’re just a fan who likes to work with their hands, here is an assortment of NFL crafts for your viewing pleasure and possible inspiration.

  1. For keeping warm in Wisconsin, you might want to go with a Green Bay Packers quilt.
Now this quilt is guaranteed to protect you from the cold as well as passionate Green Bay Packers fans. Yes, they can be a rowdy bunch if you let them.

2. A boy’s room can’t be without a Denver Broncos football lamp.

Now this Broncos lamp will look great in any little Denver boy's room. Of course, it's possible that one of the South Park kids has this.

3. No little Dallas Cowboys fan should go without their very own crotchet cowboy hat and boots.

Well, it's appropriate for a young Dallas Cowboy fan. However, the problem with little kid clothes is that they tend to grow out of them very quickly.

4. A Seahawks crocheted cap will certainly keep you snug in Seattle.

And they seem to come in multiple sizes. Still, love the hawk motif on them. However, I think the smaller one might be a bit more angry.

5. Drink a toast with a hand painted New England Patriots wine glass.

Of course, Patriots fans, it's best to hold a toast before the cheating allegations get out. And not when Tom Brady's suspension is lifted so he can start as quarterback in the opening game.

6. Let this wooden cross signify that Gold bless the Dallas Cowboys.

Yes, I know that Cowboys fans may be good Christians. But nevertheless, as someone from the Pittsburgh area, I have strong doubts that God is on their side.

7. This little Pittsburgh Steelers doll waves her Terrible Towel in pride.

Now this is adorable with her little smile and pigtails. Also love her black and gold stockings.

8. Any football fan should show their team spirit with their very own fan of lace.

And it seems like these consist of the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers, the Oakland Raiders, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not to mention, the 49ers fan comes in black or white lace.

9. You can’t have a wreath supporting the Miami Dolphins if you don’t have feathers and ribbons.

I guarantee that you'll see a lot of wreaths in this post. And yes, I admit that this wreath possesses the some degree of tackiness. But you can say the same about Florida.

10. You can’t welcome guests for game day without an Oakland Raiders lamp post.

I'm sure this decoration was rarely used for a Super Bowl party. Knowing how the Raiders don't have a great track record.

11. Nothing makes tailgating better than a Detroit Lions lawn chair.

They have lawn chairs for each team by the way. And they're all painted and made from wood. So they're more durable than their plastic counterparts.

12. Don’t have a tailgating centerpiece? You can always make one yourself.

This one is for the Washington Redskins. And the fact it's DIY is quite obvious. But still, anything with Redskins imagery is said to be offensive to Native Americans. For obvious reasons.

13. Top off your pencils with your very own Indianapolis Colts pencil toppers.

Seems like one of the more useless craft projects ever. Seriously, bare pencils look professional. Pencils with canvas decorations look stupid.

14. A little girl must always shine in her little Seattle Seahawks ribbon trimmed tutu.

Yes, there are even crafts where people can decorate NFL tutus for some reason. Of course, this is for a little girl so its adorable for now.

15. Bring the football spirit outside with this Green Bay Packers birdhouse.

Comes with its very own grill and beer keg. Still, it looks as if it was fashioned by Lincoln logs for some reason.

16. Though these two may be rooting for different teams, they always try to keep their marriage strong.

My cousins from Maryland seriously need to get this for their parents on their next wedding anniversary. Still, it's kind of funny how my Uncle Mike didn't speak to my Aunt Jane for 2 days after the Steelers won a game against the Ravens in a major upset.

17.  Why wear a player jersey while you can don a Denver Broncos apron for the big game?

Well, at least you don't have to worry about players being traded. Of course, I'm not sure about the orange strap on the front though.

18. Relax and enjoy the tailgate party with this New England Patriots lawn chair cushion.

Of course, there's a strong chance that this might be deflated like the New England Patriots' footballs. Have to get that out there somewhere.

19. For Christmas why don’t you hang a candy cane San Francisco 49ers snow flake on your Christmas tree?

Now this is an elaborate ornament for a Christmas tree. Of course, Not sure where they got the gold and red snowflakes from. But I think this ornament should be kept higher in the tree to keep away from small children and animals.

20. Even minions love the Green Bay Packers.

Now this is an ornament made from clay. However, let's just say that minions are seen almost everywhere in the craft world since they're so easy to make.

21. Have old glass bottles lying around? Then why not make Dallas Cowboys bottle lamps out of them?

Okay, I'm not a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. But even I have to admit that these are really nice bottle lamps. By the way, you might see more of these, too.

Okay, I’m not a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. But even I have to admit that these are really nice bottle lamps.

22. You don’t need a lot of ribbon and decorations to make a New Orleans Saints wreath.

It's also not well known that many New Orleans Saints craft decorations can also be used for Mardi Gras. Well, if you don't put much emphasis on the color scheme.

23. This Seattle Seahawks dress will certainly make game day a blast.

Now I'm not sure about the green stripes on the top. Then again, maybe this dress is in very poor lighting.

24. Have your tailgate party on game day with a Houston Texans mosaic table.

I'm sure this took a long time to build and put in a mosaic. Of course, the person who made this at least supports a team with an easy logo.

25. Keep your feet nice and warm with these NFL fleece boot liners.

Now we have the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Or as I call it teams from places where it gets really cold and/or wet.

26. Seems like this Minnesota Vikings fan has a quilt on full display.

Yes, this is my second quilt on this post. But it's on display with a square pattern. Not to mention, this dog seems very happy about it.

27. Cook tailgate dishes on game day with this Dallas Cowboys apron.

Reminds me of the kind of aprons you see women wearing in 1950s sitcoms. You know the black and white shows you see the mom being immaculately dressed in the late afternoon with perfect hair.

28. Of course, if you can’t put lights in a bottle, you can always use a mason jar.

Now these consist of the Philadelphia Eagles, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Dallas Cowboys. And each one is a color respective to their team.

29. For little girls, a San Diego Chargers dress is perfect for game day.

Now this is adorable. Also, said to be made from an old pillow case. Not only that, but it also comes with a couple of bows.

30. With a feather boa, a strong blue Christmas ribbon, a horseshoe cardboard piece, and a hanger, you too, can make your very own Indianapolis Colts wreath.

Now this is quite flashy for NFL craft projects. However, you can tell this was made from a hanger because it doesn't look quite round. But, hey, what can you do.

31. Some people buy their own grills. Others make them, especially this Dallas Cowboys fan with too much time on his hands.

Comes with a cooler, bucket, trash can, and more. Still, hope this one runs on charcoal and not propane. But you have to wonder why anyone would even make this in their garage.

32. Now you can store your favorite sweets in these NFL candy dispensers.

Now these come in San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and San Diego Chargers. Of course, what candy you put in depends on you. But I would recommend that you avoid Dum Dums lollipops.

33. This Philadelphia Eagles flower pony tail holder is bound to make any young fan look pretty.

Now they have a lot of these and for every team. But since I didn't put anything from the Eagles, this will do.

Now they have a lot of these and for every team. But since I didn’t put anything from the Eagles, this will do.

34. Any Christmas tree in Wisconsin can’t be complete without a Green Bay Packers light bulb ornament.

Interesting how many craft projects involved making stuff from recycled materials. For all I know this could be a light bulb that burned out.

35. An avid fan just can’t go to a winter game without a Denver Broncos crocheted helmet.

It might keep you warm during the winter. But it won't protect you from a concussion. Still, a very clever design.

36. Even this wooden snowman supports the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now this is quite adorable. Of course, it can't hold a football and Terrible Towel. However, still manages to show its spirit.

37. This little snowman is showing its spirit for the Detroit Lions.

I think they have snowmen like this for all the teams. But unlike the other snowman, this one is fully clothed and sewn with denim.

38. Now you can’t spend football game night without a New Orleans Saints table light.

I think this creation was made with two dollar store picture frames. And I guess the fleur de lis came from printed paper.

39. Light up your lawn with this Green Bay Packers spotlight.

I wonder if this produces a logo like bat signal. Also, I'm sure some comic book geek wants to make one of their own only with a different shape instead of a Packers logo.

40. Nothing makes you a true football fan like a crocheted Minnesota Vikings viking hat.

Now this looks quite crazy with the long horns and the braided pigtails. And I think this one might be made for a baby of either gender.

41. Nothing makes your home look better than a Baltimore Ravens stone edging.

Of course, I'm sure my Uncle Mike might want this. However, my Aunt Jane certainly won't let him. Also, they have these in straight edge as well as for all teams.

42. Light it up with a Pittsburgh Steelers pipe lamp.

Made with the kind of pipes you might leave in your garage or buy at a hardware store. Also, pulled by a black and gold football string.

43. Celebrate this Christmas by putting a New York Giants fan elf ornament on your Christmas tree.

Seems like the North Pole elves are Giants fans for some reason. Then again, beating the New England Patriots in two Super Bowls probably would put those guys on Santa's "nice" list.

44. Keep warm during the winter with this crocheted Chicago Bears hat.

Now this seems like a fashionable style for some people. Then again, for others, it looks as if it's straight out from the 1970s.

45. Kick back and relax with these Kansas City Chiefs flowery flip flops.

Of course, these are for women since they haven't put flowers on men's clothing items since the 1970s. Still, quite summery for football season aren't they?

46. Your Christmas tree always looks great with a Carolina Panthers snowman ornament.

Surprising that a snowman could be a fan of the Carolina Panthers. Because I'm sure that they don't have many people building snowmen in the Carolinas during the winter, especially during the Christmas season. Hell, where I live doesn't get a lot of snow that time of year either.

47. Watch the game with your very own Chicago Bears pillow couch.

Well, it looks like a loveseat since it appears quite small. Still, sometimes photographs can disguise the size.

48. Wrap your baby in their very own Cleveland Browns baby blanket.

Hate to say this, Cleveland, but brown doesn't make a great team color. Take it from someone who knows. Also, calling your team "the Browns" isn't much better either.

49. Bedazzle your guests with this jeweled Denver Broncos tumbler.

Not sure of how I feel about decorating drinking vessels with jewels. On one hand, I might like stuff like this. But on the other hand, it just seems so tacky for some reason.

50. Have your dog show support for your team with this New York Jets crocheted Mohawk doggie hat.

Of course, this gives New York Jets fans another opportunity to make their dogs look ridiculous. As if dogs need it already (they don't). Besides, when it comes to sports fandom, let's leave pets out of it.

51. You can’t be the ultimate fan without a Denver Broncos horse hat.

Now this is an interesting hat. But I'm sure it's made for little kids. Nevertheless, it'll make an interesting conversation piece either way.

52. Have a festive entry way with this Jacksonville Jaguars ribbon and print wreath.

Now this is another ribbon wreath but it also has prints containing footballs and animal prints. Of course, this wreath was uploaded by a user and is most likely not for sale.

53. Create a winter atmosphere with this Baltimore Ravens frosty glass block.

Now they have these for all the different teams. But I don't have a lot of Baltimore Ravens stuff on here. However, I'm sure that this one would look better without the team logo.

54. Go to the game in style with this Atlanta Falcons dress.

Now this might be a slimmer fit as well as made by old materials. However, while it's bright red color may help you stand out, it won't be the case at a Falcons game.

56. Drink a toast during the game with this Tampa Bay Buccaneers Crown Royal glass.

Yes, it looks like a stained glass bottle used to store alcoholic drinks. But still, pirates love their rum. And besides, it's hand painted.

Not be an exact logo but it's certainly an A for effort. Also, this is probably one of the easier craft projects to do on this post.

58. Protect yourself from the cold with this Cincinnati Bengals crocheted Mohawk hat.

Yes, this might look kind of ridiculous on someone. But at least this hat was made for humans, not pets. Why people want to dress their pets, I have no idea.

61. These Atlanta Falcons booties are great for tiniest fans.

Of course, any baby who wears this might not learn to appreciate the joys of their team until they're older. Because I know these things are out there for pleasing the parents.

62. Drink to your health with this Tennessee Titans mason jar wine glass.

Of course, cleaning this might depend on the kind of dishwasher you have. But at least it has a lid to keep your wine from spilling if you're not drinking it.

64. Keep warm from the elements with this crocheted Saint Louis Rams cap.

And it has a horn just like you see in the Rams's helmets. Made for a child, so I'm sorry if you older fans are disappointed.

66. Deck your halls with this Miami Dolphins Christmas tree ornament.

Now this is a stuffed ornament with ribbons and cloth. Yet, at least it's not a snowman because we all know that Miami doesn't see a single snowflake all year round. Well, unless you count their dolphin mascot from Ace Ventura.

67. Style your hair with your very own Pittsburgh Steelers bow.

Yes, they have these. Oh, and yes, they do have one for every team. Of course, upon seeing this my Aunt Jane might consider getting one of these for my cousin Ava.

Yes, they have these. Oh, and yes, they do have one for every team. Of course, it’s cute and adorable in black an gold. And I picked the Steelers one since it shows up better.

68. Now this Washington Redskins quilt uses quite an elaborate design.

Now I really like the star pattern. However, we should all acknowledge that this won't be accepted at a Native American casino. Of course, why the Redskins don't change their name is beyond me.

69. Decorate your lawn with a very special Green Bay Packers flamingo.

Hate to say this, but I kind of expect to see an NFL themed flamingo to depicts teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the the Miami Dolphins. Yet, this a Green Bay Packers one, a team that resides in a place where there are no flamingos whatsoever.

70. Now you, too, can cuddle up with your very own Saint Louis ram.

71. Drink in style with a bejeweled Houston Texans wine glass.

If it's not bejeweled tumblers, it's bejeweled wine glasses. Seriously, do people not understand that such wine glasses are tacky not classy?

72. Have sweet dreams with your very own Pittsburgh Steelers dream catcher.

Remember a dream catcher is meant to protect people against experiencing nightmares. Or as Steeler fans see it, dreams involving a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots squaring off against the Dallas Cowboys. That or the Dallas Cowboys winning the Super Bowl.

74. Now you can hang up stuff on your very own Seattle Seahawks bulletin board.

Of course, they have these for all the teams as you may know. But I'm sure that some Seahawks fans don't want to be reminded of what went down during the last Super Bowl.

75. Prepare your tailgate platter with this Green Bay Packers quilted table spread.

Actually this might be more appropriate for a buffet table which isn't normally used for food. Well, if it's beautifully furnished anyway. Well, why they call it a buffet table, I really don't understand.

76. Keep the room smelling nice with these Denver Broncos scented candles.

Now as to what a Denver Broncos candle might smell like is the question. Hope it's not of an actual Denver Bronco. Still, I'm sure the jars are hand painted, by the way.

78. Of course, any woman is bound to enjoy these Baltimore Ravens earrings.

Yes, I'm sure plenty of women would like these. However, if my uncle from Maryland got these for my aunt, well, let's just say it wouldn't go well. Well, unless he got the Ravens logos replaced by the Steelers logos instead.

80. Grace your home with this Pittsburgh Steelers flower pot arrangement.

The flowers and foliage are fake. But I'm sure people would buy this anyway. Because I know that Steeler fans kind of have a reputation for being crazy.

The Strange Table World of Salt and Pepper Shakers

salt-pepper-shakers

For some, salt and pepper shakers are just vessels for two basic condiments on the dinner table. For others, they’re collectibles. As a volunteer at West Overton, I recorded a lot of these in a Microsoft Excel worksheet along with their other items. Initially people only extracted salt and pepper from bowls or containers until shakers came out in the 1920s. But they’ve really became popular during the Depression. Nevertheless, salt and pepper shakers have come in a lot of matching sets in all shapes and sizes. They even have two salt and pepper shaker museums. In this post, I’ll try to give you a glimpse of all the salt and pepper shakers out there. You have ones pertaining to pop culture. You have ones that might be in poor taste and wouldn’t want to put on the kids’ table. And you have ones that need to be seen to be believed. But you see salt and pepper shakers as souvenirs, gifts, decorations, and what not. So without further adieu, may I present to you to the crazy table world of salt and pepper shakers. By the way, some of these might not be safe for work.

  1. Before you say grace, perhaps you can hold your condiments in shakers praying for the Lord.
Also, they come in 3 colors so you can praise Lord through your condiment holders however you like. Nevertheless, I think I'll take a pass on these.

Also, they come in 3 colors so you can praise Lord through your condiment holders however you like. Nevertheless, I think I’ll take a pass on these. I mean no disembodied praying hands are going on my table.

2. For all you Star Wars fans out there, grace your table with a Stormtrooper and Darth Vader shakers.

Of course, remember that your pepper will turn to the dark side. Also, when you use the salt, it won't go on your food.

3. Remember the salt and pepper packs you get at restaurants. Now someone has made a larger home version of these.

Unlike the ones you get in a restaurant, they're not disposable and are made from plastic. Still, pretty clever if you think about it.

4. These bottle salt and pepper shakers are fashioned into an ice bucket cruet like you see champagne.

Of course, the ice bucket is fake and won't melt. However, I'm not sure if I'd want an arrangement like this on my table. I mean they look tacky.

5. It’s said that these grenade salt and pepper shakers really give you a taste explosion.

Now I don't know what to think of this. In fact, I'd be afraid to pull the pins on these for fear they may explode. I really don't want to be salt or pepper bombed.

6. For some people salt and pepper is as different as a hula dancer fork and spoon.

Of course, they might've went with knife, but too many people saw it as a weapon. Still, why they're wearing grass skirts and waving their arms funny, I have no idea.

7. On this grill cruet, you can pour your salt and pepper from a hotdog and hamburger.

Now I know we put salt and pepper on hotdogs and hamburgers. But for some reason this is ridiculous and tacky. Not sure how it would work out at a barbecue.

8. Of course, you can’t make a great table for your guests without a salt and pepper shaker of Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead.

Unlike the toys, you can't take off their parts. Not to mention, they aren't made from plastic. Nevertheless, anyone who's a fan of Toy Story will love them.

9. Of course, you’d never know that these aren’t cigarettes at first glance.

Of course, I wouldn't recommend using these salt and pepper shakers for a cocktail party. Besides, I'm not sure about using an ashtray cruet. I mean that's crazy.

10. Since you might have a matching stove and fridge, why not have your condiments match?

Now together they say,

Now together they say, “Dinner is ready…when the smoke alarm goes off!” Then again, I’m not sure about having a salt and pepper shaker of a stove and fridge. Even if they are the same color of the stove and fridge.

11. Of course, these shells will keep your salt and pepper safe from harm.

Now they're said to be grenades. However, I know what a grenade looks like. And these resemble either bullets or something you stuff inside some artillery piece.

12. For those who adore the adorable polar creatures or March of the Penguins, here is a lovely penguin pair for your table.

Of course, you can't tell which of these is male or female. Then again, the one with the baby is probably the dad. They're usually the ones who hatch the chick while the mom goes off to the sea to eat.

13. If you love pugs and tacky sweaters, I’m sure these pug salt and pepper shakers will strike your fancy.

Now I think these might be just the thing for some  pug lover who doesn't have much taste in interior decorating. Also those dog sweaters are atrocious. Still, it has its own unique charm.

14. Now for those working in chemistry, these flask condiment containers will do quite nicely.

Wouldn't be surprised if you saw such a set on someone's table on The Big Bang Theory. Do like the cork stoppers on these though.

15. Those who love Pepe le Pew will love this salt and pepper set with his cherie.

Of course, her name is more likely Penelope, not salt. However, Pepe should really get the memo that she's a cat, not a skunk. But who cares?

16. Now with salt and pepper shakers like these, I’d suspect the owner must be from Florida.

Now I guess the pink flamingo is the salt and the red one's the pepper. Nevertheless, they're about as tacky as the lawn ornaments they imitate.

17. Now these kitty shakers have the salt and pepper come out from their rear ends.

Now I wonder why they'd have holes in their butts. Kind of seems a little in bad taste. Still, they seem to be quite cute from what I could see of them.

18. Dinner time isn’t the same without these dancing devil ballerinas.

Yes, they may be as evil as they come. But they seem so very light on their feet. Also, love their pronged forks.

19. As a rule, Her Royal Majesty the Queen always has to stand by her grenadier guard.

Of course, the guards always have to be very still and not smile. Still, looking at these makes me want to do my Monty Python pepperpot voice.

20. Hey, what the hell are those giant flies doing here?

Oh, they're salt and pepper shakers. Nevertheless, I'm not sure why anyone would want them on their table. I mean they're quite freaky.

21. In vampire love, it always starts with love at first bite.

I bet he's trying to suck some blood from her neck. And she seems to enjoy it. However, it's still a better vampire love story than Twilight. At least these make a more interesting couple.

22. Of course, you can’t serve dinner without having a couple of Chinamen salt and pepper shakers on your table.

I know this is supposed to be of a Chinese couple because of the guy's hairstyle which was mandatory during the Ching dynasty. Nevertheless, these are depicted in a rather racist caricature. Yeah, wouldn't be the kind you want to show to your Chinese neighbors.

23. Of course, it’s always easy to tell a good witch from a bad witch.

Now I hate to say this but this set up looks rather stereotypical. I mean good witches don't always wear white and are blond. Bad witches aren't always green and wear black.

24. Of course, salt and pepper shakers like these will immerse your table in sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll.

Yes, all they want is peace and love. But I'm sure they wouldn't be able to see how shitty things were at Woodstock. Well, the music was good but the accommodations were unbearable.

25. Now this salt and pepper shakers are made courtesy of New Orleans.

Okay, I don't know about you. But these two seem to be rather racist caricatures. Seem like they're done in a style you'd find akin to lawn jockeys. Yeah, as a white person, I wouldn't want to be caught with these two.

26. Seems like Ms. Pickle and Ms. Tomato love to make music together.

Seems that Ms. Pickle is on vocals while Ms. Tomato is on lyre. Still, I love the matching outfits on these two.

27. Seems that Mr. Onion and Mr. Artichoke are tennis buddies.

However, I'm sure Mr. Onion cries every time Mr. Artichoke scores. Nevertheless, they both have layers you're not sure you'd want to peel off.

29. You can’t have a biblical feast without salt and pepper shakers of Adam and Eve.

Sure Adam and Eve may look cute in this. But somehow I feel this is somewhat borderline inappropriate for a kiddie table. Not sure why. Oh, wait, they're naked.

30. Sorry, Rover, only salt and pepper coming from these bones.

Yes, I'm sure Rover wouldn't want to bury these in the yard. And if he does, then he's bound to be in deep trouble. Also if he chews on them, too.

31. Seems like someone at this table is busted.

Well, at least the good thing about this cops and robbers salt and pepper shaker is that they're both of the same race. Let's just say if the robber had darker skin, you could have some unfortunate implications.

33. Seems like bread from this toaster comes out two ways: white or burnt.

Still, I wonder what guests would think if you put this cruet on the table. They might wonder if you're crazy. Well, that is until they see that the bread slices are made from plastic and have holes in them.

34. Oh, my God, there are giant ants at our picnic!

Relax, those are salt and pepper shakers, not live mutants. Still, I'm not sure if I'd want to put them on a picnic table. They kind of look freaky for the most part.

35. Of course, bachelor pad can’t do without a cruet of a big boobed topless woman.

Now not only does this look rather inappropriate and out of proportion. It also kind of reminds me of a piece you see on the male anatomy. But I'm keeping myself mum on this.

38. Now this salt and pepper shaker set is fit for Picasso’s dinner table.

Well, at least these two fit together. However, I doubt these were made by Picasso. And they'd probably wouldn't be on his table. However, they were probably inspired by his art.

39. Of course, if you want to throw a really fancy dinner, then you must have fancy salt and pepper shakers to go with it.

This is the Salieria piece by Benvenuto Cellini. It was made in the 19th century. However, unlike most of the pieces on here, it's a museum piece, and therefore, not for sale.

40. Would you want your dinner served by Mr. S. Dolphin or Mr. P. Shark.

Of course, dolphins are porpoises. Thus, I think dolphin should be pepper while shark should be salt. Then again, I do love their tuxedo waiter outfits.

41. Nothing graces your dinner table like salt and pepper shakers depicting a baby doll’s head.

Okay, now there's no way in hell I think anyone should put these on their table. Seriously, they're going to make your guests think that there's something wrong with you. Like you're Hannibal Lecter.

42. Of course, you can always put your salt and pepper in paint tubes.

That is, unless you have paint tubes that might read Saffron and Persian Red. Then there might be some confusion.

43. When it comes to dachshunds, it all has to come out somewhere.

Now I'm sure people might find wiener dogs cute. But I'm not sure whether these salt and pepper shakers are among the best in table decor.

44. Out of the goodness of their hearts, I’m sure Brother Simon and Brother Peter will bless your meals.

Love how these monks seem to look the same and how their holes are used as facial features. Kind of look like they're singing a chant. But I'm sure they're on a vow of silence.

45. Press S for salt and P for pepper. It’s easy.

Now I'm sure these are still in the packaging. However, they're keyboard keys so I'll allow it.

46. In this bowling cruet, the ball sits between two pins.

And I'm sure the pins contain the salt and pepper. I'm not sure about the bowling ball though. Might just be for decoration.

47. Of course, you can’t have a monster Halloween party without some eyeballs to hold the condiments.

48. Of course, you can’t have a great dinner party without putting your condiments in rings.

Now how they get the salt and pepper in these, I will never now. Must have some sort of device to open them. Not sure how you can funnel the stuff through the holes.

49. Seems like Pa is full of piss while Ma is full of shit.

50. You can always have fun in the sun with these salt and pepper shaker flip flops.

Now I'm sure they're not as cheap as real flip flops. Nor are that as destructible either even if made from ceramics. And no, you probably can't wear them on the beach or in the shower.

51. Excuse me, but can you please pass me the heroin and cocaine?

Let's just hope that you don't use these during a dinner party where a cop is present. Because the police officer might get the wrong idea. Still, why make shakers like these? Seriously.

52. When it comes to whether Jesus was white or black, perhaps you might want both renditions on the dinner table.

Actually it would be fairer to say that Jesus was Middle Eastern who'd more or less have in common with the black image than the white one. Of course, he also had short hair as most men in 1st century Palestine.

53. Guess salt has the whiskers and the pepper has the mustache.

Yes, these are LEGO head salt and pepper shakers. I'm sure they shouldn't be played with. But they do look cool, though.

54. Nothing makes dinner better than putting your salt and pepper in llama heads.

Not sure of what some people might think of these. However, I kind of find them amusing and somewhat creepy.  Have no idea what the appeal among llamas is these days though.

55. With salt and pepper shakers like these, I’m utterly stumped.

Okay, they may be logs. But I'm sure they're not made from wood even though they sure look like it. Then again, maybe they are. I can't tell.

56. Why choose between Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White when you can have both at your second breakfast table.

Because both can be rather equally badass. I mean Gandalf the Gray says, "You shall not pass!" Also, Gandalf the White has a pretty cool horse and staff. Then again, Gandalf the Gray rocks in his wizard hat.

57. Nothing graces your garden party table like a cruet of a mooning gnome.

Now it's one thing to have a mooning gnome in your garden. But it's another thing to have one on your dinner table. Not sure which is worse.

58. Of course, no hunting lodge table would be complete without these gamey condiment containers.

Now I guess salt is moose and pepper is deer. However, what they're used to flavor depends on where you live in North America.

59. At dinner, you can’t ignore these cute ninja salt and pepper shakers on the table.

Yes, these were adorable. But real ninjas usually didn't dress this way and were usually spies. Oh, and they tended to improvise when it came to weapons.

60. Now these film canister shakers seem so picture perfect.

However, if you're not using a digital camera, remember that you not mistake them for your real film canisters. Luckily they're probably much bigger than the real things.

61. Of course, these skulls are sure to lighten up a dead audience. Or maybe not.

Not sure if these would be good for reciting Hamlet's "Alas poor Yorick," but they might do. Still, some people might find skull  shakers a bit disturbing or creepy.

62. Of course, why not salt and pepper your meal with pee and poop?

Still, despite their cute faces, they're kind of disgusting if you think about it. Seriously, some people might find these in very poor taste indeed.

63. With shakers like these, they will be a nice gift for any school teacher or co-worker at the office.

65. These battery shakers have indicators that remind you when to refill.

And it seems that they've been used quite a bit since they're both half filled. Of course, it's apparent that they may soon run out of juice if used often enough.

66. Nothing makes a great addition to the dinner table than having your condiments in disembodied baby arms.

As if baby head salt and pepper shakers weren't disturbing enough. Granted they were derived from doll parts, but still.

67. Your dinner table is never complete without salt and pepper shakers derived from severed baby legs.

Now that's disgusting. Seriously, who the hell designs these things. And why would anyone want such demented stuff on their table? People might think you're a serial killer.

68. Of course, these salt and pepper shakers will bring the ornate sense of wonder from the Middle East to your dinner table.

Then again, these might perpetuate some Arab and Muslim stereotypes though. Yes, people still dress like that there, but not everyone. Also, I'm sure women can show their faces in most Middle East countries even if they can't show their hair.

69. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.

Nevertheless, they kind of divided the group into shakers between the ones who are dead and the ones who are still alive. Of course, this is the Fab Four in their early years.

70. May this medieval cruet make a fine royal and holy addition to your table.

Actually this set looks as if it was either made by somebody or bought from a Renaissance Faire. Either way, doesn't look like the condiment set people in the Middle Ages would use. Still, love the crowns though.

71. Nothing makes a table look better than squirrel salt and pepper shakers.

Now I'm sure squirrel shakers might look cute if they consisted of the whole animal. However, these only consist of their heads which is kind of terrifying.

Now I'm sure you'll find both of these in a men's room. And only one of these in the ladies' room. Still, they're probably fairly tacky for a dining room table.

75. Now these would be perfect for any table during road season.

Now I'm familiar with the classic orange traffic cone. However, I'm not sure if traffic cones even come in black. I mean they need to stick out so people can see them. If I were the designer, I'd go with fluorescent yellow.

77. Now I wonder how these women walk with big TV screens on their heads.

It's said that they come from the Victorian Era but I highly doubt it. Still, there's something a bit either sci-fi or dystopian about them. Also, they're quite freaky, too.

78. “I’m a doctor, not a pepper shaker.”

Yes, these are salt and pepper shakers of Uhura and Dr. McCoy. Yes, they're from Star Trek. One is the chief medical officer who clashes with Spock. The other is the communications officer who translates stuff and got kissed by Kirk.

79. Of course, you can’t have a super dinner without Superman and Wonder Woman.

Now I'm sure one is from the planet Krypton and the other's from an island of Amazons. Still, they're both from the DC universe and everyone wants them to be together. Also, wear stuff normal people wouldn't be caught dead in.

80. “Pepper, my dear, I don’t give a salt.”

Yes, I'm sure this is an antique set for the movie. If it was made at the time. Still, I'll put it in since Gone with the Wind is such an iconic film.
