(Tiny) Craft Disaster

This is part of our Tiny House, Tiny Bloggers series, in which we turn over Plaster & Disaster to some VERY tiny bloggers to tell their own story of transforming an ugly, old (doll)house into a fresh and modern (doll)home.  Follow it from the beginning here.

Tiny bloggers here to wish you a happy Friday! I know we just posted on Monday, but we wanted to stop in with a special Friday post to share a small follow-up on our Halloween 2017 crafts. First off, thank you for all your positive feedback on our projects!

We’re so pleased with how they turned out. But as Sage and Naomi are frequently proving, it’s not always smooth sailing with DIY. Even we make mistakes sometimes, so we wanted to share another project we worked on for Halloween that didn’t exactly turn out how we’d planned.

You see, we wanted to add a pot of mums to our front porch, but they don’t exactly come in our size — so we needed to make our own. We started by making the pot out of clay:

Next we painted the base brown:

Then it was time to add the flowers. Since we were making our own, we decided to make them red since we worried the more traditional yellow/orange would blend in too much with the rest of our orange decor (garland, fox pumpkin, etc). So we used red yarn, which left us with this:

We put it on the porch with our pumpkins, but it was quickly clear that it was not up to snuff compared to our other amazing projects:

Sage said it looked like a muppet.

Obviously we couldn’t keep it on the porch where the neighbors could see our craft fail.

It’s painful when things don’t go as planned, but sometimes that’s just how it goes even for bloggers with delicate little fingers like ours. We’re moving on, and we hope this confession reassures you that it’s okay if your projects occasionally turn out like muppets too!

Have a wonderful weekend!
