Altogether now, awwwwww!
The book recommends using these as placecard holders for the festive table...but somehow I can just see one or two of these little guys emerging out either end of the family dog on the 26th.
You make the hair by surreptitiously shaving grandma while she's napping.
And of course, what joyous yuletide festivites with the family are complete without the enchanting Pot Angels.
Now, when I first saw this, I assumed it was the Nativity. There's Joseph on the right, then Mary in the middle only confusing the facts of life further by cradling a large egg....and....Uncle Moe. ;) But no, this strange conglomeration of everything lying in your rumpus room bar is apparently the Holy Magi.
Actually one of the more crush-resistent craft ideas on offer. In an accompanying book 'More foil crap', we learn how to make the big crudely-drawn red cardboard door to hang them on.
Okay, they're fireproof. But a quote from the book says it all about these: Tip: These bright boots make gay containers for Xmas gift hosiery, scarves or lingerie. (See follow-up book on how to make foil lingerie).
The middle one belongs to cousin Bob.
I think the real candles on their crowns are just *begging* for disaster. Someone drunk or hyper enough could try lighting them, unaware that they'll burn down in 20 seconds and have the whole table alight in under a minute. The smell of burning styrofoam heads is a bonus touch.
