Spaghetti Hat (with tutorial)

How to create some obscure thing that you will hate, in ten easy to execute steps:

1. Commit yourself to spending no more that 20 minutes in total on your "project".
2. Subject matter: think about something that doesn't belong on a hat.
3. Planning: in pencil, put that thing on a hat.
4. Eat a counterfeit "pop tart" as you "work" with a hungry cat in the general vicinity: as you swipe at the creature while attempting to eat, your desperation will translate into your "work".
5. Enough of that now: go over your sloppy pencil sketch in ink.
6. Change it unplanned, as you go. It doesn't really matter, it's all wrong anyway.
7. Hurry up: the faster you go the faster it will be finished with.
8. Skip steps eight and nine, they won't help you now.
9. See step eight.
10. Moments before resigning: decide to fabricate some additional element that will decrease from the overall visual appeal.

You are finished! Now you have created 'forced daily art'.
