15 Moustache Themed DIY Projects

Do you remember, a number of years ago, when the image and outline of a very classy looking curled moustache became one of the trendiest things in pop culture? Since then, it’s been on decor pieces, fabric prints, and accessories, making everyone look kitschy and amusing no matter who they are or how they choose to wear their moustache. Well, the craze might have calmed down a little bit by now, but we’re certainly not over it and we still adore just about everything we can find that’s got some kind of moustache theming. Being the DIY lovers we are, however, we’re sure it’ll come as no surprise for you to learn that our favourite thing to do when we come across a print or theme we really love is to incorporate it into our crafting process. That’s how we found ourselves looking up as many moustache themed projects as we could possibly find!

Just in case you’ve always adored funny, kitschy moustache prints and themes as much as we have, if not more, here are 15 of the very best and most unique ideas, designs, and tutorials that we’ve come across in our search so far.
