giant moustache stick-em's

Moustaches are pretty funny already but giant moustaches are even better, especially places they don't belong. I took some discount fabric and discarded cardboard to make giant moustache stick-em's, moustaches that can be attached anywhere, instantly transforming anything into instant moustache awesomeness!

I made a few really big moustaches to go on large billboards and advertisements around town, then made smaller ones from the scraps to go on smaller signs found at bus stops and malls.

Enough talk, let's moustache!

Materials for this project are easily obtained and inexpensive:
  • brown or black fabric
  • cardboard
  • rubber cement
  • duct tape
  • marker
  • scissors
I found this fabric in the clearance section of my local fabric retailer,  I got 1m for $5.00. All the cardboard I found in dumpsters near where I planned to do my moustache-bombing. I spent about an hour over breakfast making a whole pile of moustaches, large and small.

It is cool and all, but isn't this illegal?

It's not vandalism if it doesn't damage property... And this is non-damaging unless you use epoxy to apply them.

Did you skip the step where you say what you stick them on with? I assume the duct tape, though it would be helpful to spell it out.

yup, Step 3: "Rubber cement and tape was used to stick these mondo moustaches."
I've edited it to make it clearer, thanks!
