We Can't All Be Handy With Scissors and Glue

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts on April 18, 2009 at 9:37 am


There are those who proudly put their masterpieces up on Craftster while there are those who can only ogle at them. And then there’s Craft Fail, for people who are not shamed to show their earnest, albeit unsuccessful attempts at arts and crafts. (Anyone guess what that green thing to the left is?)

    Kind of neat but not mean spirited enough. ;P Its far more enjoyable to poke fun at other peoples failed craft attempts than blogging about your own.
    Someone out there needs to do an ETSYfail site. I've seen so many horrible crafts that should be mocked (if only to humble the owners on the outrageous prices they THINK their mess is worth). Maybe throw in a Dirtydouble section for people who rip off the ideas of others in ETSY as well,because that's a real fail.

    I like it more because it is people mocking their own failures.

    ETSY is notorious for rampant violations of intellectual property laws.

    I personally liked having a respite from the mean spiritedness all too common online. Good find.

    hmm, recently, all neatorama comments and permalink pages are giving me an error. I wonder if it's because I just got IE8... (but i'm not experiencing this on other pages.) odd...

    Yes, it just didn't have the same oomph as something like that cake-wrecks site. Reading through a few of them, it had an awful narcissistic tone - "even my failures are fascinating".

    Agreed, Ted. Agreed. More cake wrecks.

    I think it's fun to be able to post pics of my ugly crafts... better than just tossing them in the trash without another thought.

    @ VideoGameDork - I experienced same issues. I emailed Alex about it. He said it should be fixed. :)

    I love that blog. I have had a few craft fails. And I do love how people mock their own failures. I will most likely be submitting stuff, the next time I make soap.
