craft fail


I'm trying to do a bit more "just because I feel like it" craft .
Not for anyone else , not for work , just because I feel like it .

I saw this brilliant melted beads project on pinterest and wanted to try it.
So I organised some beads and cooked those little blighters .


The multi coloured beads were a bit too small .
The bluey coloured beads turned out pretty .
The little ones in the patty pan just burnt and stank the house out .
I cooked them at 200c for about 15 mins .
It may or may not have been longer as I think I may have passed out from the fumes.
Note to self ~ next time open more windows.


It was fun . It was different .


I am going to do more just because craft .

What about you , are you trying new things ?

    hi Clare, I'm sure we all have lots of craft fails here and there. But that's how you learn too. Did some tie-dye the other day and learnt a lot from our mistakes!! cheers Trish xx
