Sometimes Things Don't Turn Out Like You Envisioned Them...


Don’t give up too easily. If a project doesn’t seem to be coming together like you envisioned it, try your best in other ways to redeem your piece of work. 

When you’re starting out, a ‘craft fail’ can be really disheartening, and you may lose your motivation to have another go. I have been there - sometimes I make things and they don’t turn out to my liking, sometimes the colours don’t quite work out, sometimes, well I just don't like what I made.

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” – Henry Ford

Craft Fails are a great learning opportunity and most of the time, only you can see the imperfections of what we create. Consider adding an embellishment or cutting the piece apart and use it to create on another item. 

Remember; don’t be too critical of your work. Handmade may have flaws and that is OKAY
