The Reindeer Pooplace
November 27th, 2009
Makes you think twice about giving a pearl necklace.
The holiday season is like the X-games for arts & crafts. Ornaments, ginger bread houses, popcorn strings and festive decorations are old news. 2010 screams the future. You can take that glue-stick and use it to reapply your “where’s the beef?” bumper sticker. If you want to be considered a top crafter there should only be one thing on your table this year: Reindeer Poop.
Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington Illinois is where this years elite are gathering. The hot topic among the A&Cer’s is the Reindeer Poop Necklace.
What started out as a lovely tradition by a retired employees grandmother has blossomed into unparalleled technique that has the people at Jo-Ann Fabrics scratching their heads.
According to the zoos website,”before production begins, each ‘Gem’ is dehydrated, sanitized in an autoclave machine, painted and drilled.” Every necklace is then shaped into tiny snowman and ready to wear.
Look no further for this years perfect gift. You can pick up your very own pooplace at the Miller Park Zoo giftshop with all proceeds going to the zoo.
