45 Designs That Tried to Be Creative But Turned Out Creepy Instead

Old-school crafts are usually charming and whimsical in a nostalgic sort of way. This vintage punch needle rug is probably one of the more divisive old-school crafts we’ve seen. It features a retro clown holding an umbrella while balancing on a ball. Some people might find this retro rug charming, while others might absolutely hate it.
