“It’s going to look amazing,” you think in your mind, as you start your latest creative project. But soon enough, you realize that your plans and reality barely overlap, and you’re left with something totally weird. The results are hilarious, even ‘bad,’ but it’d be a shame not to share them with everyone on the internet. Though in some cases, a few major ‘mistakes’ ironically lead to something even more soulful than what was supposed to be the outcome.
Welcome to r/nailedit, a subreddit that documents the funniest, most bizarre results that people got when trying to do something with their hands. Whether it’s baking, cooking, crocheting, or anything else that you like to do, you won’t always get it perfect. And when you (inevitably, at some point) get it disastrously wrong, it’s wonderful to share it with like-minded crafters online. Hey, at least you made someone laugh and brightened up your day with your monstrosity of a cake, right?
Scroll down for the best of r/nailedit, curated by us for all of you lovely Pandas. Don’t forget to upvote the pics that you enjoyed the most, and be sure to share them with your friends to help them start the week off with a smile: however tough things get, at least you’re having fun when it goes wrong. Oh, and if you’ve got some disaster crafts to share with us, you can tell us all about it or share a pic in the comment section.
Talented pie artist, baking expert, and the author of ‘Pies Are Awesome,’ Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin was kind enough to share her thoughts about how to get the results that we want, whatever we might be working on with our hands. In her opinion, baking and all sorts of crafting are like small performances. “You gotta prepare a bit in advance and get mentally in the zone before you dive in,” she told Bored Panda.
