I thought of another thing I failed..  I tried one of the Cake mixes where you use pop.  The pin I saw had strawberry cake and sprite, but I mixed it up and used strawberry pop and a white cake.  It was such a sticky mess.  I did recently try another cake and pop mix that was much better, it was a diet pop with a cake mix.  I used a Sugar Free Devils Food cake mix and a can of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.  That one was really good.

I made one of the cake mix and pop concoctions and it turned out great. I thought it was supposed to be able to be done with ANY cake mix and soft drink combo, but I've only tried one or two.

Did this with strawberries.....I thought they molded faster! :)

We tried the glow bubbles too.  It didn't work.

Hope it's ok to mention the blog, but I found this today and have laughed several times.  It's a blog called "pinstrosity" and they show several failures with what may have gone wrong.  I've tried two recipes so far, both turned out good.  Wanted to try a third, but I didn't have graham crackers so I tweaked it, still turned out good.

Any new ones to add?  One of things I want to do over the holidays is try some of the cleaning solutions and recipes that I have pinned.

We tried the acrylic paint inside a clear Christmas ornament. At first it was way too thick to spread, so we added a a few drops of water- it spread GREAT, but then pooled at the bottom so you had to keep turning the ornament every 10 or so minutes until they were dry....Not worth the hassle!

I wondered about that one... the striped ones they show look great.  Thanks!

I found a website that has craft fails on. When I have done something that has gone pear shaped, going through some of them really do cheer me up.

 

I have made the bird feeder crafts on pintrest. Came out really well.

Did you make the crafts where you either turn birdseed into a wreath or use Christmas cookie cutters to shape it?  They both look interesting, but this could be a very messy indoor project if it fails.

This has been around forever.... you need to dump out the excess paint and I let mine dry in egg carton and it dumped the excess out while it drying.
