May 08, 2014Sometimes a craft project does not turn out the way it looked in your head, and this roundup collects fourteen of the most memorable failures crafters have shared online over the years. The list runs from toilet paper roll earrings and a crocheted unicorn pig hat to a doll head decanter filled with gumballs and a bridal bouquet made entirely from mismatched buttons. There is a mirror built from old razors and toothbrushes, a coat rack made from baby doll limbs, and a pair of crocheted men's shorts in clashing yellow and brown yarn. Sandals cut from denim back pockets and a bracelet with doll eyes sticking out round out the list, along with a knitted hat shaped like a full breakfast plate, a lopsided doily dress that barely holds together, and crocheted stockings pulled snugly over furniture legs like tiny little leg warmers on a chair. It is a fun reminder that even a failed project can turn into a good story worth sharing.
