From Denver’s very own Cyanide Stitches comes the perfect face-cover for spring days that don’t require the heavy-duty facial protection of the Beard Head, but still cry for a complement of faux facial hair (as pictured on creator Amber Glenn here). Or fangs. Or bad teeth.
Each Insta-Face Bandana is embroidered with an instant facial feature of some kind or another. They’re a sizable 22 inches by 22 inches, made from 100 percent cotton, and they’ll keep your face warm and at least quasi-protected from the elements for the spring. And they’re hopelessly goofy — in a good way.
More photos and whatnot after the jump…
Amber says she was inspired to make her first Insta-Face Bandana last fall after riding her bike in the cold: “I didn’t want something that made me look scary or was as bulky as a scarf.”
Her catalog copy is pretty funny, too. From her shop at Etsy.com:
Ever
wish those pearly whites sitting atop your gums could be a luxurious
pearly yellow? Tired of having too many teeth crowding your mouth? Fret
no more!All you need is this strange but amazing Bad Hygiene bandana! It
features a big black smile with a few crooked and mangled yellow teeth
hanging out, just waiting for their turn to break off and be forgotten!
Insta-Face Bandanas normally cost $15 to $18, but right now Cyanide
Stitches is running a $10 special at her Etsy.com shop. Amber
says the sale will run until about March 25, so don’t dawdle.
