AIBU to send DS into school wearing this masterpiece for comic relief?

TaffetaMuttonfudge · 23/03/2017 11:24

My DS (4) has crazy hat day tomorrow for comic relief and I thought I'd be inventive and make him a paper mache volcano hat. Tinsel to be added to create a lava effect, and red paint also will be added for lava streams etc, and another coat of the brown paint but I'm slightly worried about the current effect. Does anyone else think that it looks slightly.....suspect??? BlushGrin

Should I go back to the drawing board while I still have time and credibility?

Thanks OP - that's made my day 😆

Miniwookie · 23/03/2017 15:20

Gutted I can't see the pics (browser not app)

TaffetaMuttonfudge · 23/03/2017 15:27

Agh, school mums I showed photos to think I should send him in with it tomorrow. Think I'm the only smutty one in that crowd! What do I do? Bought hat or the one I made? Grin

Can't see the pictures either- but how can you not send him in that hat?!

PageNowFoundFileUnderSpartacus · 23/03/2017 16:05

I couldn't see the after photos at first but I came back to the thread just now and can see them now.

Excellent effort OP. It looks less like a mummified cock and more like a witch's hat with a sprouts-n-ketchup snack combo now.

(Still a million times better than I could manage.)

TaffetaMuttonfudge · 23/03/2017 16:14

Thanks Page!

He loves it, but it's too big and heavy for him so he's going to take it in and show it off anyway! I imagine that's my PTA dream (which I never really had) scuppered 😂

You need to add a pointy bit on the end and make it into the sorting hat from Harry potter.

"I cannot send him into school looking like a gorilla's bellend" is the best thing I've read in ages!

The kids won't think anything of it, but it will probably give the teachers a laugh. This thread has really cheered me up.

TaffetaMuttonfudge · 23/03/2017 19:55

Ahh, thanks all! It's cheered me up too, so glad I could share the mirth Smile

I just saw the finished artwork. I I ... I don't know what to say but I'm certain the teachers are going to have a great day.

AutumnalLeaves38 · 23/03/2017 21:11

Oh no...can't access any pic of the finished masterpiece...am on Chrome browser, not app.

Please, please can someone load up a screenshot or something? The suspense is killing me Grin

reuset · 23/03/2017 21:23

Why was I picturing a secondary aged child Hmm He's 4, it will be fine.

Have caught up with thread. Grin It looks a bit like a sea anemone, but it;s still fine, and better than anything I could make.

Jbck · 23/03/2017 21:26

Love the fact that you have artfully captured the loo in the background to add to the effect Grin

dementedma · 23/03/2017 21:26

I want to see the pics too!

25bottles · 23/03/2017 21:27

I can't see it either

TaffetaMuttonfudge · 23/03/2017 21:31

Jbck - was hoping no one would notice that! Bloody downstairs bathroom....

Bushes as the bottom might look even more suspect. Particularly if they are brown.

Mabel83 · 23/03/2017 21:42

Commenting because I soooooo need to see the pictures of the finished item 😂

TaffetaMuttonfudge · 23/03/2017 21:48

Argh! Wish I could post another picture to see if that helps but I'm up to my limit. Sad

thesunwillout · 23/03/2017 21:59

Still laughing at 'gorillas bellend'

SalemSaberhagen · 23/03/2017 22:00

Please, someone who can see it...screenshot and upload!

NewView · 23/03/2017 22:02

I think you should send him in with it- it'll probably win ( is it a competition?)
Meanwhile, this thread has made me laugh the most I have in ages 😂

flw87 · 23/03/2017 22:03

I've installed the app just so I could see. Made me laugh the husband thinks I've lost the plot
