15 Weirdest Etsy Finds

Etsy gave creative artists a place to run wild, and we found the evidence. Our 2009 list of the 15 weirdest Etsy finds includes jewelry resembling body parts, soap for gamers, and pop culture references. These historical finds are not current offers. Some Pins illustrate related designs.

Doll Arm Earrings

We can’t think of anything creepier than tiny doll arms sticking out of your earlobes… honestly we never imagined it, but someone on Etsy did. You probably don’t want to know what happened to the head. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

The Pin shows another doll arm earring design.

Xbox 360 Controller Replica Soap

It’s one thing to pronounce your fanboyism with a cool shirt or accessory, but soap? That’s a whole new level of obsession we weren’t prepared for. The original Xbox 360 Controller Soap had realistic buttons and was described as scented with Mountain Dew fragrance. Apparently even your bathroom could support Microsoft.

The Pin illustrates assorted controller soaps, rather than confirming the original scent or seller.

Carlos the Luchador Pillow

Cuddle up with Carlos the Luchador, an Etsy pillow monster special. As if his face weren’t scary enough, check out those button nipples. Carlos is just one of many many dolls we never want to sleep with on Etsy.

Intestines Necklace

We can only imagine that the intestines necklace was created to confuse and disgust… why would anyone want a detailed model of intestines around their neck unless anatomy class had made a lasting impression? Oh well, at least the original came in bright colors! That makes it cute and fun!

The Pin shows a metal anatomical pendant, not the colorful original.

Jackalope Feltidermy

If you don’t get the desire to kill and mount animals to your wall, you might not get the desire to stitch them out of felt and do the same either. The Jackalope Feltidermy was handmade from turquoise and white felt and is mounted to a wood plaque and hangs proudly in your game room… which is used to play checkers and stuff, not store hunting trophies.

Ouija Board Lunch Box

If you thought it was creepy to keep a Ouija board in your attic, then you’re really not going to be crazy about carrying one around with you at all times. The Ouija Board Lunch Box in theory could be used as a Ouija board, except instead of using it on a stormy night at the campground, you can use it on a sunny afternoon in the cafeteria.

The related Pin shows a lunch bag, not the original box.

Bacon and Egg Jellyfish

Etsy artists love to crochet monsters and food, so the next logical progression would be food monsters. The Bacon and Egg Jellyfish looks as gross as it does appetizing. On one hand we love anything involving bacon and on the other hand we loathe the imagined sting of jellyfish. We do wonder however if the tentacles of a Bacon and Egg Jellyfish would be crunchy and delicious or deadly.

Sexy Barbie Legs Jewelry Holder

Barbie’s head may have popped off long ago, but let’s face it, it wasn’t exactly her best trait. Barbie’s got great legs, which apparently make fantastic ring holders. One creative Etsy artist repurposed her legs by attaching them to a mahogany leaf tray. Her legs still bend and move as well as they ever did when she was intact.

The Pin uses glass bowls instead of the original mahogany tray.

Crocheted Boob Pillow

Not your grandmother’s crocheted pillow… The Crocheted Boob Pillow looks like it would be comfortable to lie on, with soft contours and plenty of stuffing. The original invited requests for different colors and sizes; that invitation belongs to the old listing, not a confirmed current commission service.

The Pin illustrates a related crocheted pillow with a blue bra.

Flatworm Plushy

Who doesn’t think flatworms are just the cuddliest of creatures? Planarians are flatworms with remarkable powers of regeneration: a tail fragment can grow a new head. Stowers Institute’s classroom resource explains the trick. The pillow turns that biology lesson into something huggable, without making you volunteer for the practical demonstration.

Weighted Companion Cube Earrings

Portal fans can keep their weighted companion cube nearby for comfort. The game’s sadistic sense of humor inspired this wearable reminder of a decidedly unusual friendship. If you’re not in on the gag, play Portal: it’s a great game. Then consider whether your earrings need more emotional baggage.

Planter Feet

Hide these feet planters under a bush and give visitors to your garden a scare when they think someone’s hiding in the bushes. The Planter Feet make a cozy addition to the garden with an earthy feel that invites barefoot wandering.

Zombie Wedding Cake Topper

Til death do you part doesn’t even cover it. The Zombie Wedding Cake Topper offers a scary, somehow charming, undead couple. Their skeletons are exposed and they’re covered in blood and various stitches and display bullet wounds in their backs. Despite the grotesque subject matter the Zombie Wedding Cake Topper is actually quite beautiful with lots of color and detail.

The Pins show other undead wedding designs, not a verified match for the original couple.

Tom Selleck Mustache Necklace

We always kind of figured that Tom Selleck’s gruff facade has everything to do with the mustache and oh how we envy it. Finally women and young boys can experience firsthand what it would be like to have a big bushy beautiful ‘stache. Now all you need is a Ferrari and you’re on your way to the Magnum P.I. lifestyle you’ve always yearned for.

The Pin shows a generic mustache pendant, without establishing any Selleck connection.

Knitted Dissected Frog

If you object to dissecting animals, why not rip apart this knitted frog dissection. The frog is made from a silk wool blend that’s split open to reveal his wooly froggy insides. This poor little fella is pinned down to the board, just the way we remember (but tried to forget) in biology class.

The Pins illustrate knitted dissections; their fiber content has not been established.
