The Great Mustache

Honestly, I really don’t think facial hair has been this popular since Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid can roaring through theaters. The mustache is in. Way in. It. Is. Everywhere.
And for something so simple, so normal, so “my dad has one” it’s makes me laugh every time I see another (and another) funny application for the mustache. The mustache pacifier or straw decoration? Hilarious.
Mustache rings? Love them!
How about mustache temporary tattoos? Or mustache mugs? Or mustache on a stick for a photo booth? Fab. One and all.
The best part about this particular craft trend is that it is oh so accessible and customizable. You can use it simply, say, with a felt mustache on a stick. You can get a little fancier, maybe embroider one on a tea towel for laughs or screen print a t-shirt. Carve yourself a mustache stamp to ink a little sillyness onto your letters and notes or cut a giant vinyl ‘stach for the hood of your car. If you can think of it, the mustache can make it a little bit funnier.
So tell us, where would you put a mustache?
