Who knew that mustaches could be so hip? They are everywhere these days. Not only are men donning them regularly, art featuring mustaches can be found anywhere, from coffee cozies to cross-stitch. Movember moustache ideas.
Why are we talking about mustaches today? In preparation for Movember, of course! During the month of November, men around the world are encouraged and inspired to grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. This movement began in Australia a decade ago and has continued to grow steadily. Learn all about Movember right here.
Why not celebrate Movember with our favorite crafts? Here are 6 trendy mustache patterns for you to whip up this month!
Upcycled mustache quilt:
The Awesome Mustache quilt pattern is what you need, of course! Mustaches of all shapes and sizes are appliquéd onto men’s shirts that have been cut apart and pieced back together. This is a great way to upcycle those shirts that are no longer being used! If you don’t have any laying around, check out a local thrift store to find some nice, yet inexpensive, dress shirts.
Hand-embroidered mustache quilt:
Decorate your sewing room with a cross-stitch pattern like this one featuring an entertaining play on words! This is a simple hand embroidery pattern allows both beginner and experienced stitchers to have a little fun. The five-page pattern includes directions for a full stitch, backstitch and French knots. The finished cross-stitch can be framed in an embroidery hoop or finished as mini quilt like in the photo above.
