Apparently, many of them are much more difficult than the site would lead you to believe. Below, you’ll find some of the most hilarious Pinterest versus reality fails that people have shared of their own projects. Whether you’re a craft expert or not, we hope you enjoy scrolling through these unfortunate attempts, and keep reading to find a conversation with Brandy Nelson of the Gluesticks blog! Thanks to the internet, however, we have endless DIY ideas at our fingertips nowadays. According to Sprout Social, Pinterest was the 15th most popular social media site in 2023 with 450 million monthly active users. 80% of pinners say that the site makes them feel positive, referring to it as a “social media oasis” compared to other similar sites. And most users aren’t simply scrolling, as 85% of them say they’ve used the platform to help them start a new project. But, of course, many people choose to use Pinterest to find inspiration for projects around the house and crafts to do with their little ones. Unfortunately, however, these DIY projects don’t always go according to plan. Whether it’s a failed cake that deserves to be on Nailed It! or a carved pumpkin that looks much scarier than intended, plenty of people know the experience of creating something that doesn’t live up to the expectations that Pinterest has set. “I think the majority of craft and DIY projects can be done by anyone! We live in a day and age where you can figure out how to fix your clothes dryer by watching a YouTube video,” Brandy shared. “Sometimes things can get lost in translation, so it’s important to find a thorough tutorial. I tend to look for links on Pinterest that not only provide a tutorial, but also step by step photos AND a video because I’m a visual learner.” If you’re looking for a project to start today, be sure to visit the Gluesticks blog!
