Craft Fail: When Homemade Goes Horribly Wrong by Heather Mann
Summary: Poor Bridgit, who
overestimated the size of her head—her homemade frilly lace shower cap came
straight down to her chin. And who can blame Lindsey for thinking “glitter
shoes” sounded like a cool, easy project instead of what it turned out to be: a
puddle of sparkling glop. And really, whoever posted that incredible
Spaghetti-Stuffed Garlic Bread on Pinterest should be sued. When Mindy pulled
hers from the oven, it looked like a “hot mess of intestines streaming out of
doughy flesh.” Mmmm, thank you, Pinterest!
Written by Heather Mann, publisher of CraftFail.com, her hilarious blog with
millions of page views and hundreds of thousands of followers, CraftFail
celebrates the creative process, but from the other side. This is the stuff
that gets the “A for Effort” and LOL for outcome. But once the laughter dies
down, it also inspires a warm feel-good respect for crafters who aren’t afraid
to fail. After all, even if there’s not a mortal alive except Martha who can
make a Waxed Heart worthy of hanging in your window to catch the sun, why
shouldn’t many try? When it goes wrong, why shouldn’t the rest of us enjoy this
Epic Fail? And then look at all the full-color photos that document it.
Home decor fails, fashion fails, holiday fails, food fails, kid crafting fails—
as one anonymous crafter said: “It wasn’t supposed to end this way.” Luckily
for us, it did.
Angie's Comments: I laughed out loud many times while reading this book!
Each craft fail features the pictures of the Pinterest version and the
Craftfail version. The pictures were fantastic, and the comments made me laugh
even more. I feel much better about myself about this book, as someone who
occasionally attempts crafts and often fails at them. If you craft or attempt
to craft, this book is for you!
