Check out these lovely cheerful, festive buntings. Viwed from a distance, they're a great way to brighten up any outdoor scene. But - oh dear - they're made from something that's far from pretty in its usual form: men's y-fronts! The pants have been decorated using brightly-coloured pains, and strung up on a length of twine.
I spotted the picture over on drgillybean's flickr stream and was very amused to see that this method of making decorations is fairly well-known among the bunting-making community, who refer to the end result as 'pantings'. What a charming and perfectly weird way to recycle!
