Everyone appreciates quality craftsmanship. It’s always nice to see thought being taken into creating a piece and the care and time it takes to pull it all together. But sometimes the question begs to be asked if it should have been made in the first place.
With this list you won’t know whether to love or hate these items. Sure, they were all done well, but did they cross the line and enter the world of gaudy, tacky or just tasteless? We will let you be the judge, but if nothing else, they will bring some laughs!
1. “Smart Hat”
Not only will this hat keep you warm, it just might make you feel a little “brainier” than normal. Though the style is questionable, it really does look to be crocheted quite well.
2. Denim Hug
Just can’t resist the pun that’s about to come . . . it’s not a “bean” bag chair, but a “jean bag” chair. Sorry, but you know we had to say it.
3. Roach Cappuccino
Typically we can’t wait to get our caffeine fixes in the morning, or let’s face it – any time of the day. But though this drink is made beautifully, it might just take away your appetite.
4. Finger Fries
Personally, I love these gloves. Sure, they are bright and maybe some would consider them a little tacky, but I give props to the person who thought of them and made them so well.
5. Rockin’ The Duct Tape
Just when you thought all the duct tape uses have been thought of, another genius person comes up with a new idea. From a distance you would never know – they really did do a nice job with getting it all on with straight lines.
6. Artsy Hair
This took time, creativity, and really was pulled off quite nicely. We aren’t sure if anyone will want to repeat the look, though.
7. World’s Most Uncomfortable Shoe
If you love tennis, then this is the slipper for you. Though we can’t imagine how it could be very comfortable, it does make us smile every time we look at it.
8. Sexy Hippo
Just look at those lips – this car is stylin’ from top to bottom. Though we aren’t sure their motivation, they certainly pulled the look off.
9. Good Luck In Airport Security
Perhaps the designer of this purse wanted to give the look that they shouldn’t be messed with, but we do think it might not be wise to try to go through airport security with it.
10. Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Though people may have mixed reactions how they feel about this hair, the skill it took to create it really is impressive.
11. Schrute Dreams
If you are an Office fan, then likely you are a Dwight Schrute fan as well. Though this is a great representation of him, something about it still seems pretty creepy.
12. Crocheted Nightmare Baby
Most everyone appreciates the skill it takes to hand crochet something and this really does look to have been done by someone with talent. But, instead of looking cute and cuddly it comes off a little scary instead.
13. Not Sure How The Dogs Feel About It
Who doesn’t love cozy slippers for their feet on a cold snowy day? But, going by the looks on these dogs faces, we question if they are fans of the idea. Do you think they are feeling a little betrayed?
14. At Least It Should Be Moisture Resistant
Perhaps the owner of this purse has a “dry sense of humor,” but if nothing else, she’s making a fashion statement. Though, we aren’t sure how many people would agree it’s “good” fashion.
15. Only A Fisherman Can Truly Appreciate
It really is done quite well with the catfish whiskers and all. But beyond it being a gimmick for a fish pet shop it does lack that “classy” feel.
16. Is It Cool Or Terrifying?
It’s scary enough going to the dentist, but can you imagine showing up and the office looking like this?
17. Mice Bed Sheets?
At first glance it looks like hundreds of little mice running all over the bed, or perhaps sperm racing to the egg. Whatever the case, it loses that cozy feeling and starts to feel a little creepy.
18. Did They Take It Too Far?
We will let you be the judge of that, but we will say their level of commitment to crocheting is more than impressive.
19. Nostalgia Overload
We won’t decide if it is something that really should be worn or not, but we imagine anyone who does wear it gets all kinds of comments and who knows, maybe some compliments too.
20. Chain Ankle Crocs
These are so bad that maybe they are cool? Personally I’m going to steer clear of them, but these crocs certainly do make a statement.
21.Perfectly Balanced
Lenny and Carl from The Simpsons do have a close relationship, so who are we to judge about the choice of this Yin Yang tattoo choice.
22. Flaming Minions
Either you love Minions or do you don’t, but if nothing else, it really is a sassy little stove.
23. Nothing Like Tomato Soup Shoes
It can’t be denied that the design is pulled of pretty well, but still, how many people want to wear tomato soup shoes?
24. It Actually Looks Kinda Comfy
If you have a desire for people to think you are some kind of Bond villain, then perhaps this is the perfect chair for you.
25. Well, Blow Up Slides Are Normally Fun
It’s done well for a slide, but is it tasteful to have a Titanic blow up slide designed like this?
26. Calling All Van Gogh Fans
Vincent van Gogh’s ear has been an object of fascination for years, so if nothing else this necklace could be a good conversation starter.
27. Santapede
The quest for the ugliest Christmas sweater goes on and on and on. Sometimes there are just no words for the designs that have been created for it.
28. Can You Dig It?
Can you imagine how excited Bob the Builder fans would be to have this in their home? As for anyone else, though it’s pulled of quite well, they would probably pass on the idea.
29. When You Like Your Trunk So Much . . .
Then you get a second one. Trunk space will never be an issue again and it really does match perfectly, so why not?
30. Just Looking For That Fresh Feeling
This is one of those pictures where it’s terrible and amazing all at the same time. They wanted a nature theme, and they most certainly accomplished it.
31. Is It Sweet Or Just Weird?
So many adjectives could describe this tattoo idea. It really is sweet yet it also is a little creepy. We’ll let you decide which side you’re on.
32. His And Hers Wedding Cake
We aren’t sure if there’s a message this couple is trying to convey. But if nothing else, relationships do get a little messy sometimes – but most of the time they are worth the effort.
33. Time For A Double – Or Maybe Even Triple Take
Of course the bottom tires spin, but they created this car so that the top tires spin as well. If this car doesn’t get double takes driving down the road, then nothing will.
34. Hot Rod Casket
It can only be assumed this is for hot rod enthusiasts, but it certainly seems to send a message they are going out with a blaze.
35. Lisa Frank Inspired?
If they were going all out for the Lisa Frank look, then mission accomplished.
36. Crocheted Astronaut
Is it really awful taste when it looks so incredibly comfy?
37. Eye Hair
Ever get that feeling someone’s looking at you? When this person walks in the room, that feeling is not going to go away.
