We spent Thanksgiving with family in Idaho, and my super awesome sister-in-law showed me how to make these ginormous paper snowflakes in just a few easy steps. I could barely contain my excitement when I learned how to make these, and I couldn't wait to get back home and share this with all of you! I have a small apartment so I only made 3 snowflakes, but if you had a house these snowflakes would make for amazing porch decorations! Talk about Holiday curb envy! So the first thing I did after getting back was hit my local Michael's for supplies (they had a sale, so I was in heaven, and each paper was only 25 cents)! You will need six 12 x 12 sheets of paper to make one snowflake so stock up. I would also suggest looking for paper that is double sided or has a nice contrasting color.
Inking someone is just as big of a responsibility as getting your tattoo ideas inked. I mean, if someone is determined to get a permanent mark on their body, the one who is making it happen has to be skilled enough to make sure the tattoo design doesn't become a regret of a lifetime. But that's not always the case. A good way to test if a tattoo artist did a good job is doing a face swap with a real-life object it is meant to represent, and some tattoo fails are so hideous, it's hilarious. Bored Panda has compiled a second list of these face swapped bad tattoos (you can find the first one here), and it's just as priceless. From a cartoony version of Avril Lavigne to a tiger that looks like it was drawn by a two-year-old, these funny tattoo designs will definitely make you think twice before letting someone pick you with a needle and ink. And while we do feel sorry for the people who got these, we're also incredibly grateful it wasn't us. Scroll down to check out the worst tattoos ever and upvote your favorites!
I do mixed-media character sculptures. Here's a faun I made using a wire armature, plaster of Paris with glue, polymer clay, resin eyes, and fake fur. His name is Erutan.
We firmly believe that traveling is one of the best parts of being born a human being. We have the sort of freedom to go on life-changing, cultural, and educational adventures like nobody else in the animal kingdom. (Except for birds, of course—they can go anywhere, any time, and they always fly first class. Yes, we’re jealous!) However, what you see in those bright and brilliant travel ads isn’t always what you get.
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” is one of the most incorrect sayings of all time. Idiotic opinions, fallacies, and outright untruths are all, unfortunately, broadcasted over the internet for everyone to see, meaning that all of us have to see, hear, and read the very worst words and ideas humans can put together.
Children's minds haven't been ruined by adult humor the way ours have, so children's book authors have a lot of leeway when it comes to the language they use. And even with that in mind, some of these pages from weird children's books are still very difficult to explain.
From the classic ghost to the upside-down man, you should be able to DIY these fun looks with limited resources in just a flash.
I have always dreamed of combining character design and lamp design by building my own special chandelier - namely in the form of an Octopus.
Bags, backpacks, wallets and holders are a perfect accessory: they have plenty of utility in and of themselves, and they can be customized to fit a particular fashion taste. In other words, bags are a staple in the fashion world. The only downside of bags is that there's not enough of them.
This Instagram account is a place where appalling design and construction decisions made by the hands of less-skilled professionals find their home.
There are certain professions that you would only contact in cases of bad news. Morticians, paramedics, and the police all come to mind. Others don’t exactly have the most stellar reputation, like lawyers and plastic surgeons. All of you probably have some profession that you simply dislike out of principle or perhaps experience.
One could probably agree that some kids' TV shows have left a very big influence on our lives, and usually the cartoons we watched when we were children remain in our memories for many years to come, even if it’s just some parts of them. Some people's affection for certain characters can be really strong, and in most cases purely nostalgic.
Hello, I made this beer altar to celebrate the end of Lent. I love Easter. Halleluja & cheers everybody!! My name is Marcel Walldorf and i am an artist based in Frankfurt.
Having real-life contradictions is what makes us human. That is one of the reasons why it is so challenging to put all humanity in one box of understanding.
Learning about history is always fun; truth is stranger than fiction. But a history lesson is even more exciting when there are images to coincide with fascinating stories. Allow me to introduce the “History In Pictures” Instagram account. With 4.4 million followers and over 3,600 posts, @HistoryPhotographed is famous for sharing some of the most interesting pictures that you may have never seen before.
Those that travel know that the greatest souvenirs are not tacky trinkets or overpriced memorabilia, but the stories, trivia, and memories. Some people love to travel so much that they've amassed a wealth of knowledge about other countries and their experiences there, and naturally, they share them to anyone that wants to listen. Which is most of the time, because many people find these facts interesting. One of such people is Malachi Ray Rempen, a half-American, half-German born in Switzerland (that's about as international as a birth can get), who creates comics about the things he's seen and heard about many other cultures, their language, and customs. Considering how sensitive the topic is, the author of the comics does pretty well to avoid sounding rude or negative, and portrays his insights in a funny way. Funnily enough, the United States, the leader of the free world, is the most frequent butt of the joke, but that's alright, as Americans are usually able to take some banter. Anyway, here's the "Itchy Feet" comic about "Travel and Language," as the title describes.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to know just what is real and what isn't when browsing the internet. We're not just talking about fake news either, but the millions of photoshopped images, often very far from reality.
Comic artist MadeByTio is a very efficient storyteller. They need only 4 panels to express an idea. However, the simplicity of this format doesn't mean the situations are simple too. The content is a healthy mix of the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Life's a never-ending rollercoaster of education, fun facts, and interesting trivia. And the ride's free if you're willing to stay curious all your life. One of the best places to expand your mind on a daily basis is the ‘Today I Learned' subreddit, boasting over 25.2 million members, over 12 years of service on Reddit, and a community that values curiosity and learning above all else.
As the name implies, clickbait is a form of false advertisement online. It usually comes as a link to a website with a sensationalist headline, and it has become the laughing stock of the internet.
The spooky season is already upon us and Halloween is just around the corner, which means that it's about the perfect time to start thinking of what your Halloween costume is going to look like. Of course, since we're in the middle of a global pandemic, for most of us, the celebration is going to be a bit different this year. Though that doesn't mean that we have to miss on all of the fun the spooky season has to offer!
A woman named Sharon Choksi got so fed up with not being able to find clothes for her daughter that would not be short, tight and pastel, she decided to come up with her own clothing line. This is how in 2013 Girls Will Be was born - clothes that empower girls to do whatever the heck they want and celebrate their personality. "There is definitely more than one way to be a girl – and it doesn’t have to always involve pink and sparkles," says the company's website.
You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs first. Just like you can't save a hobby from turning into a job without being a jerk sometimes.
What is considered normal highly depends on society’s view on it. Once high heels were a shoe that only wealthy men wore and now traditionally only women wear them. In some cultures, more fat on one’s body is associated with being wealthy as it means the person has money to feed themselves, but in other cultures, a lean body is the ideal of beauty.

Hungry? Well, this article might find you craving food even more. Tasty-looking bagels, pies, croissants and other mouth-watering dishes. That is what Christina Kunanets puts on her vintage plates. Except... you cannot eat them. Or at least we wouldn't advise you to.
While many people dream of looking like their favorite celebrities, copying everything from their hairstyles to their wardrobes, a select few are simply born with their features. Some celebrity lookalikes are content with a few of their photos going viral on social media, some make good money on it, but they all prove a simple truth we have to make peace with: we're not that different from each other. At least on the outside!
Tell me if you didn’t dream of being a veterinarian when you were a kid. Personally, helping animals and seeing them every day sounds so much fun! However, when we grow a little older, we understand that being a veterinarian means not only petting cats and dogs every day. Yeah, unfortunately. It also requires many years of hard studies and determination, but once you survive this - it’s a rewarding path. But! There is a slightly complicated part when it’s time to deal with pet owners. Well, of course, not every one of them can make you question your decisions, but it happens.
On average, about 240 million Americans call 911 each year. However, a fair portion of these calls do not involve true emergencies and overload the 911 system. Like this one.
Visiting a friend as a child could be a mixed bag, on the one hand, you get to hang out with your pals, on the other hand, you might have to deal with their strange family. Sure, as a kid, many things seem strange the first time you encounter them, but some might be so unusual that you still remember them into adulthood.

You don’t need us or anyone else to tell you that things are tough and that there’s a lot of financial pressure on many families' shoulders these days, Pandas. Especially with winter quickly approaching. Many of you have probably already felt your wallets and savings accounts getting thinner. And were left flabbergasted by the prices in the grocery stores and petrol stations.
Losing weight is seriously difficult - it takes hard work, discipline, and a good working knowledge of nutrition and exercise to achieve. But while most of us will try dieting at one point in our lives, few of us successfully stick to that new healthy lifestyle. And sure, failure can get you down. But don't give up! Trust me, you can do it if you really really want to.
Our passion for photography is only matched by our love of history and everything that’s vintage. We firmly believe that only a solid grasp of history can help us avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and lead to a better future for everyone. And there’s nothing like a direct comparison to really show us how much time and life have changed things.
