“That’s It, I’m Craft Shaming”: 40 Posts About People Who Haven’t Mastered The Art Of DIY
We are often told that undertaking arts and crafts will bring us a sense of fulfillment, positivity, and relaxation. And in times of the worldwide pandemic, this is all we need. So no wonder so many people have tried making something from scratch, whether baking an infamous hedgehog cake or decorating jeans with whatever they found at home.
But even if we, as a society, do encourage getting your hands on things and rocking your inner craftsperson, it doesn’t mean you should just do it. And this humorous, satirical Facebook group called “That’s it, I’m craft shaming.” is precisely an answer to why crafts isn’t for everyone.
Welcome to the not-so-pretty side of the handmade world that often remains hidden behind the tearful expectation vs reality moment. With a whopping 99.4K members, the group is both a horror chamber and a feast for your eyes that collects all the most hideous crafty items found out there.
And for understandable reasons, these questionable gems rarely get to earn a place in a camera roll. Unless it’s strictly for craft shaming purposes.

The cake ones are a little tragic. I'm sure everyone has a story about how they once wanted a certain costume/cake/dress, and Mom couldn't afford it so she tried to make one, and it ended up terrible. When I look back on it, I'm embarrassed that I was so mean to my mom about it as a kid, because she was trying really hard.

True. My mom tried her best to make us nice things. She taught me to bake and sew at a very young age, so I knew how hard it could be. I always tried to be understanding; but a few times my dissapointment overwhelmed me, and I cried. I feel guilty about that now. I know it hurt her feelings.
