    The original was made with watercolors (water and pigment) that have been forcefully blown from the center out. The other one was made by melting crayons, which even at high temperature will never be liquid enough to be blown.

    The original looks like paint then glued crayons. Look at the texture of the "melted crayon". Also the crayons don't look melted.

    No — then the streaks would be tangent to the circle/edge, not pointing away from centre; compare sparks flying off an angle grinder. Original is blower plus water colours (I guess, from the mixing!!) on a flat plane; copy is crayons with heat on a slope.

    As much as I enjoy the act of sitting down and working on a fun little craft, I know my limits. I can make adorable Valentine’s day cards or bake cute treats for Halloween. I can paint an egg for Easter, and I’m capable of operating a hot glue gun. But when it comes to carving pumpkins, working with wood, elaborately decorating a cake or working with clay, I’ll be sitting those crafts out.

    Thanks to the internet, however, we have endless DIY ideas at our fingertips nowadays. According to Sprout Social, Pinterest was the 15th most popular social media site in 2023 with 450 million monthly active users. 80% of pinners say that the site makes them feel positive, referring to it as a “social media oasis” compared to other similar sites. And most users aren’t simply scrolling, as 85% of them say they’ve used the platform to help them start a new project.

    It is. The sand is bound with clear epoxy so it stays put. The starfish is dead and glued in place. Also, to keep it clear for longer you have to add ammonia and flocculants to the water. Of course that spoils the magic of the "5 minutes craft" and is never shown in the videos. This is the typical project that looks good in photo only.

    I think you can partly blame the paper used. Normal printing paper is too thick for small or complex origami. You need the origami paper, which is thinner and easier to fold.

    As far as why Pinterest is so beloved by users, particularly Gen Z, Socially Powerful says that the site has an extremely well developed search engine. It might even be better than Google! It’s also a great platform for anyone who wants to keep up with current fashion trends, as one study found that Pinterest trends take off 20% faster than those that originate on other platforms during their first six months.

    But, of course, many people choose to use Pinterest to find inspiration for projects around the house and crafts to do with their little ones. Unfortunately, however, these DIY projects don’t always go according to plan. Whether it’s a failed cake that deserves to be on Nailed It! or a carved pumpkin that looks much scarier than intended, plenty of people know the experience of creating something that doesn’t live up to the expectations that Pinterest has set.

    To gain some more insight on this topic from a crafting expert, we reached out to Brandy Nelson, creator of the Gluesticks blog, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. First, we wanted to know if most of the crafts we see on Pinterest are actually possible for the average person to complete.

    “I think the majority of craft and DIY projects can be done by anyone! We live in a day and age where you can figure out how to fix your clothes dryer by watching a YouTube video,” Brandy shared. “Sometimes things can get lost in translation, so it’s important to find a thorough tutorial. I tend to look for links on Pinterest that not only provide a tutorial, but also step by step photos AND a video because I’m a visual learner.”

    This pic has been around for some time. Most look like notebooks of a specific size and weight, so sure, it's interesting as an art piece, but I think it's pointless using books if you ever want to read one of them, because everything will crumble down.

    When it comes to common mistakes people tend to make when embarking on a DIY project, Brandy says that reading through the entire article or post is crucial before beginning any project. “I’ve made that mistake many times,” she admits. “Starting recipes before making sure that I have all of the ingredients, or not buying the right supplies for a DIY project because I only glanced at the supply list.

    Oh ffs, that's not the finished product on the right, that's the first few rows at the very start, of course that looks like a formless blob! ... I'll stop reading through this list now. I'm surprised to find it makes me quite angry when people put out wrong information like this post, or the other ones where people obviously didn't follow the instructions or didn't realize they were missing half the materials, and somehow blame that on Pinterest. I know that the "fail" part is about people failing to reproduce what they saw online, but blaming the site is what annoys me to no end. And I don't even have Pinterest.

    Rainbow Roses: Not Quite Right, But Still Interesting

    Rainbow Roses: Not Quite Right, But Still Interesting

    The setup: red, green, and blue dyes. Split the rose's stem into 3 parts. Use plastic wrap to keep the stem happy. 

    The dyes: Danish. The green is very opaque, the red is slight, and the blue is transparent. I think these are real pigments, not just dyes.

    After 18 hours - blue spots. After 36 hours - more blue spots on the petals and on the leaves. Close up after 36 hours - the rose is not happy.

    Cooking all purpose flour salt dough too hot and quickly will cause these air pockets to form. Drop the temperature of the oven right down. You want to dry them out, not cook them. You could even air dry them in a warm dry room. (No humidity!)

First, they note that many people tend to underestimate the amount of work these projects take. We don’t allow ourselves enough time, or we quit before we’re finished because we’re in over our heads. To avoid this, be sure that you understand the requirements of the project before starting, and don’t work under tight deadlines.

    I have a feeling that they may not have used helium? Helium lifts the balloon way more, so even with the weight of confetti it can still float.

    It’s also easy to start a project without realizing what skills are necessary to complete it. If you don’t have a sewing machine or you haven’t used yours in a decade, creating your child’s Halloween costume from scratch might be an incredible challenge. Our Home Made Easy notes that sometimes it’s best to simply outsource labor or pay someone to have a project done, such as tiling your home, if you’re not confident doing it yourself.

    Don't just press down on the plaster, press off the plaster. By that I mean put the plaster on the ground kneel over like doing a pushup and push off the plaster. That's gonna create more force and get a better handprint. For the footprint, literally step onto the plaster like you're walking, don't just push your foot on it.

    We used to do this (back in the sixties and seventies) with those empty Chianti bottles that were wrapped in straw. We’d use them as candleholders, and use colored candles and/or melt crayons in the flame and let them drip down the sides to achieve a pretty cool effect.

    practice makes perfect, also using the right type of paint. Painting with oil, watercolour, acrylic etc paints can all feel very different. Though if you want a quick cheat for a smoother looking "painting" that you can also be a bit steadier with, I recommend trying out posca pens ;)

I made something similar with my kid last christmas, we made a snowman using an actimel (those yoghurt drinks) bottle filled with sand as the body/base so it had weight, then you just use a polystyrene ball as the head (which was wrapped in tissue paper), and decorate how you want. Doesn't even have to be a snowman, I'm thinking of applying the same tactic to make a witch for halloween. x3 edit: will mention it helps to have a glue gun otherwise the head can be annoying to stick onto the bottle body heh. xP

    Nope, but at least they executed it well. No. 2 just begs for a coup de grâce. (Pun intended. Actually I'm a bit proud about it ☺️)

    Not crazy about the idea, but the 2nd fridge looks SO much cooler in terms of design. I mean, if you wanted your fridge to look like an Easter chocolate, you nailed it.

    Am I missing something here? The second one still has painters tape on it - all it is, is painters tape and hasn't been painted yet, so not finished? I'm confused on this one

    The tape is likely washi tape - papery texture, used for arts and crafts, and a decorative item meant to be seen. (Also meant to be artfully applied with the "measure thrice, cut once, careful where you put it" approach instead of "hold my beer and gimme some scissors. Trust me, it'll look great")

    Depends whether it's a private space for a kid. Might have sisters that drive him crazy so that's for his private space. No reasons the girls can't have a flipped version for their space too.

    Hang it up, neaten out the chains with fingers. If the connections are correct then it will look correct. Having hanging paper chain decorations laying flat on a surface is a very poor judge of appearance.

    Most art is at least 75% prep work. Including rough drawings, sanding,using a primer or base coat, mixing paint colours, clearing a work area etc.

    the only Issue I see is that they have wrote "everyday" as opposed to "every day" but otherwise, I'd say it's done pretty well considering it's only inspired by the one on the left. I love the background colours.
