Editing Cheese Grater Earring Stand

<p>You'll never look at a cheese grater the same way again! Try to resist the urge to shave your head with it, using it to make this so called craft is only marginally less painful. This simple craft is perfect for gift-giving (to someone you cannot fucking stand), as well as a perfect storm of crafty magic: ugly AND completely useless. It'll hold and display all your favorite dangle earrings, necklaces, and studs. Plus, you can do this for less than $5, which is a real incentive. Round up your graters and let's go!</p>===Type of Craft===

Painting, making something already crap look completely shit..

its pretty difficult to use a chesse grater to hold jewlery and not think it looks completely shit no matter how much spraypaint and glitter you pile on.

<p>- 1 4-sided cheese grater (I got mine at Ikea for $2.99, but you can snag one for much less at your local thrift shop.) - Acrylic paint in the color of your choice - paintbrush or sponge Optional: - random toys or figurines - craft moss - E-6000 or other strong craft glue, you should sniff the glue, as youll clearly need to be out of your fucking mind to think this looks good and is any more useful than putting them in a trinket box, many of which ironically are cheaper than a can of spraypaint and a cheesegrater and are infact purpose made for storing jewelery... oh well, Ive never let logic taste or style get in the way of my crafting before, why start now right?</p>==Directions==

<p>1. Place your grater on a piece of newspaper or scrap to pick up paint drips. Spary some spraypaint into a plastic bag and huff that shit, in......and out......in....... and out......omg music sounds totally strange! oh man Im spinning, the rooms spinning, wheeeeeee! and begin painting each side. This is your base coat. Let dry. 2. Paint at least one more coat. I used two for extra crapness; a total of three coats should give full levels of fugly. Let dry. 3. Also dont forget to breathe and blink occaisonally, because if you are making this you must be mentally subnormal. Also remember, left foot THEN right foot, if you go left left left, you just end up walking in circles. If you want, you're done! Hang your 'jewels' on all sides, and by jewels I mean random shit you have cobbled together with hotglue and glitter because lets face it if you are the kind of person who is going to do this you arent going to own anything that a normal person would consider jewelery. 4. If you'd like to add some fun embellishments to the handle, now's the time. Round up your selection of decor and arrange it the way you want. Then get out your trusty craft glue and attach as desired. I used some moss and a stone I found on the pavement and a beer bottle cap, as well as a chewed plastic deer that's been hanging around my craft room for years, but feel free to use your imagination and use any old bullshit you like! Note: While making the video for this, we discovered that this also makes a totally cute kitchen decoration. Infact we found we could spraypaint any old shit and call it "decoration" so we spraypainted all our pots and pans blue and now they look lovely as decoration hanging on the bathroom walls! however now Im forced to make tiny meals in my soap dish.</p>==Additional Photos==
