Advent Handicraft
Don’t worry, my blog won’t become a handicraft blog. Since many people decorate their windows before and during the holiday season, I made something for my window, too: a Flying Spaghetti Monster – the true God who created the universe (after drinking heavily), including the divine pirates, the original Pastafarians (→ official website):

Made with two wooden balls (about 6 cm) with a hole through the middle through which I put five pipe-cleaners (50 cm) each – in light brown because the shop had no lighter color (well, so there’s some rye in the spaghetti dough^^) – and twisted them and nine more all over the place, and wrapped dark brown cloth around the balls. Then two styrofoam balls cut off on one side, glued the eyes onto them and stuck them on the eyestalks. Done.
Detail of an eye, and at the window:

Yeah, sure…
