We went to the store a little bit ago and there was a homeless guy there. He makes amazing things and asks for a donation. These are super cute and a creative way to make money! =) We didn't have much but my husband bought him a sandwich since he said he was hungry.
My daughter is keeping this and she's so excited, she loves it!

I always love stories like this! Once my boyfriend and I went to the gas station and there was a homeless guy playing his guitar and singing. Mind you he had a beautiful voice! Instead of begging he was asking for donations and taking song requests.

It's too bad they can't all be creative like this and make something to sell.

@Abbygreenhill He said some days he makes $100- $200 a day, depending what side of town and the weather.

@andriaperry That's awesome, I think this is so pretty!
He said he's been arrested 49 times for making these and selling them. That's awful to me.

@Ladyduck I agree, he's very talented. He got fired for drinking on the job so until he can get himself sober he makes these.
