A Crafty Failure




I found a fantastic tutorial/idea on Pinterest recently that I just knew I had to try.... how cool do these look?

In her tutorial/explanation she decided to use a hot glue gun vs. puffy paint as the original blogger did... I figured  - yeah, let's try it.  Unfortunately I was sloppy - all those little strings that happen when you use a glue gun?  They are VERY noticeable when you spray paint over the top of them.  Boo!  This craft project was a MAJOR FAIL!  Grade:  D-

Here's a better picture - see all the little strings?  Yuck.  This went into the recycle bin.


This vase was salvageable - I have it as part of my Halloween decor on my mantle but I don't 'love' it


Here are the black versions I did.... the first was a glass vase - I initially tried writing some words on it but that didn't work at all so instead I chipped that glue off and just tried putting on stripes.  Thankfully I only did one side!    The second version was just a soup can!  It turned out much better but only because I didn't use any glue on it!  ;)
Next time I'm trying the puffy paint.....



Do you have any 'craft projects gone wrong' stories to share?
