This is one gross DIY art project. Using the simple ingredients of felt markers and rubber cement, a replica sculpture of human phlegm was achieved.
This imitation snot project comes complete with instructions, which leads me to believe that I wasn't the first to find this unusually gross activity.
As gross as these booger balls are, they're a far more welcoming alternative than the organic version!
