We’re sure that laughing at other people’s craft misfortunes will come back to haunt us next time we pick up the glitter and glue. That’s the way karma works. But we still can’t resist having a chuckle at these funny fails that brave crafters have shared with the world - we’ve all been there!
1. Dr Dolittle
"There goes two and a half hours of my life I'm never getting back. Thought it may be cute to make a bunny. This is the level of disaster involved. The verdict: never again"
2. Letter laughs
"When you spend the last two hours tracing letters only to realise you did it on the wrong side"
3. Spills ahoy
"My entire bottle of glue spilled in my glue box and made this nice sculpture for me. Thanks glue!"

"That ONE time when washi tape REALLY sticks. To your floor"
5. Ink woes
"The moment when your paper towels look better than the stuff you attempted to make"

10. Heart attack
"This was supposed to be a cute little Valentine's box"
11. Drink up
"I ran out of corks, which, if you know us, is an unbelievable thing!"
