When Jazzing up your crap goes wrong

So as you all know I love to jazz up not only your crap but my own. I have always been very big on making little things we need if I have the skill. Then there are times like this when it seems I was just the tiniest bit drunk when using said skill. Hey I have toaster cozy I am proud of don't you judge me.

So the idea here was our giant ass wall AC unit lets in a little cold air even when the vents are shut. I was to make a cozy to go over it much the way you put a draft block on the bottom of your door. I had a worn and broken heating blanket that was off white and the texture has become not far off from felt. So my mind went back to those grade school days when teachers had felt boards and those lovely holiday felt cut outs they smacked up there. I loved them and would stare at them for hours while pissing away my education. Thank you Mrs. Rhodes. I thought this way I could trade out my felt decorations right in my own little hobo living room.

So I clearly miss measured as it hits the little hooks I put on but is pulled to taunt. So it will need a addition. This makes me laugh. I am sharing this first because it is ugly as all hell and why not share the laugh with everyone. Also because to me if you cannot look at what you need to improve on what it the point in making anything. I hope this Jazzing gone wrong makes every one of you smile.

Love Cappy

Jazz up your crap completed.

So this was my first for hire Jazz up your crap the one I did prior to this was a experiment more to see if people would flip out when they saw their crap redone.

Surf edition of Jazz up your crap was lots of fun to make first the item was a thick glass that had writing I covered to keep private in the photo. I think my favorite part of this is the surf board is actually a incense burner. Thanks to the lovely person who sent this in and allowed me to doctor their stuff and thanks so anyone taking the time to read this and have a laugh.

2 Jazz up your craps in progress

The first photo above is our UK Jazz up your crap in progress the part in the middle will be available to see when all done. This one has lots more being added but what made it really fun is the person who asked for it gave me two things they wanted in it which will be there when done and pretty much let me go nuts.

The second photo is another in progress this is our first ever sold Jazz up your crap. It is slowly turning into some thing else. Working on this has been great because the person left my hands open only asking that I make it unrecognizable as the item it was. That seems to be happening nicely. It has a lot more to go to but first some stuff has got to dry.

So I hope you enjoy your update on crap that is being jazzed up.

Love

Cappy
