Selling Pages: Handmade Shite - Hit me!

[SlightyJaded]

Too many people, with too much time on their hands, have dug out the craft box and it needs to stop. These are my 'best of the day' items. Share your favourites here.

Bump. Seriously? Nothing? Someone somewhere must have a lovely hand painted pebble for me to admire?

I wish I had something to share!!! Thanks for your gems. More will come....

Nothing to add but place marking hoping for some gems (or gem covered shite).

The diamanté febreze - tooo f*cking much!!!

The wine bottle covers are VERY twee but a microscopic amount heartwarming.

I don't agree with you over the crochet wine bottle covers. No, they're not trendy and are definitely not for me, but they are actually well made, neat and well fitted on to the bottle. They're not shite, just not to your taste. It's displaying an actual skill as opposed to the horrific glue gun catastrophe that is the febreeze bottles. Or maybe they're just sticker gems - even worse!

Sooooo....a couple of ‘gems’ from Insta

The “Karen” especially made me laugh given recent name connotations.

And I’m not sure what the hell the ‘Tay Tay’ thing even IS

Are they earrings maybe? @Youngatheart00 although I have no idea why they would say Tay Tay

@ConstanceSalinger Why would a bottle of wine need a knitted cardigan though?

It really doesn't! But at best it's naff, not shite!

Especially in lockdown, there are a lot of people - mostly women, mostly not well off - desperately trying to make some extra money. The febreze bottles or the Karen embroidery are really not to my taste, but must have taken someone quite a lot of time.

I don't want to be a bad sport, but these threads just remind me of the mean girls pointing and laughing at someone who's tried hard.

I also wish I had something to share. Thank you for sharing these beauties with us @SlightyJaded, they’re too special to not be shared with the world.

There is some very odd stuff appearing at the mo,

Is it bad that I sometimes peruse EBay looking at ‘hand drawn’ some of them are quite amazing.

I am out of work at the moment due to current situation. I am trying to find ways to make money - have literally nothing coming in. It's not a lack of compassion or sneering. It's amazement that people buy this shite - and they must buy it or people wouldn't bother.
