“That's It, I'm Craft Shaming!":30 Horrendous DIY Projects That Got Shamed In This Online Group

She also touches upon an interesting subject: that we take failure way too personally. When we fail at something, even at crocheting a granny square, for example, we think this says something about us as a person. That we're not capable enough, that we're too dumb, or that we just don't have the talent. In reality, mistakes are opportunities to grow.

Craft blogger Cintia of My Poppet also writes that we sometimes tend to be harsher on ourselves than we need to be. She invites crafters to ask themselves: "Is this really a fail?"

"Just because you don’t love it doesn’t mean someone else won't," she says.

From a more practical perspective, there can be lots of reasons your DIY craft failed. Some projects (especially when you're a beginner) need a lot of attention to detail. Sometimes, we might overlook instructions, swap the listed supplies for something we have at home, or just be in too much of a rush. Slow but steady wins the race, y'all.

So, which craft fails did you like the most, Pandas? Have you ever made something so atrocious it was worth shaming online? If you're brave enough, come forward and show us your bad crafts! Perhaps I should share my pathetic attempt at making paper bag snowflakes with you? But maybe let's leave that for the next time.
