“Nailed It”: 50 Hilarious Times People Tried To Make Something Themselves But It Didn’t Go As Expected
“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.

Tried Making A Felt Shark
TonyTee 3 years ago (edited)
Gotta give em credit for trying! Pretty sure if I would've tried not too many people would've guessed it was supposed to be a shark, so at least their's comes close enough xD

According to pie artist Jessica, mental preparation before tackling whatever crafting project you tackle is vital. The process can be as simple or as complicated as you prefer. There's no one-size-fits-all approach.
"This can mean something as simple as making sure all your tools, ingredients, instructions, recipes, and cleaning supplies are available and to hand before you get started, all the way to actually sitting down and visualizing yourself going through the complete process of making the dish or craft," Jessica told Bored Panda.
Visualizing is a powerful tool in any crafter or baker's arsenal, and Jessica's a proponent of it. "I’m personally a big fan of taking 5 minutes to picture all the steps I’m about to take before I start baking a new work of Pie Art," she revealed to us.

It’s so adorable! I like it better than the original, actually.
"I can’t tell you how many times I’ve realized that I’ve forgotten a key ingredient or step in watching myself in my mind go through the motions! And it’s kind of meditative too," she explained that the added benefit is that it puts you into a calm, centered space. That way, you're far less likely to rush about and make mistakes. The odds of you getting hurt are also reduced because you know what you need to do, and what's going to happen.
However, visualizing might not be up everyone's alley. Worry not, Pandas, for there are other ways to get in the 'zone' before you start your next project.
"If you’re not into visualizing, you can get a similar effect by writing out lists of every little step you will be taking in your project, and even making a list of things that could go wrong and what you’ll do about it if it occurs," pie artist Jessica explained that this way you're aware of the solutions to problems way in advance.

There's always room for experimentation and a 'jazz'-like approach when it comes to making food. But if you're pressed for time and results, then you need to rely on getting everything in order.
"Winging it and diving in can be great fun when it comes to creative projects, and you can learn a lot through experimentation and failure… but sometimes the stakes are a bit higher and you just have to get it right the first time. For example, baking your best friend’s wedding dessert, or completing an expensive commission for a client. That’s when that bit of extra effort upfront will pay off big time!"
The r/nailedit subreddit is practically ancient. Founded all the way back in the late November of 2010, it’s been around for nearly 12 years. There’s only one moderator running the place, but they do use the Auto Moderator for help.

At the time of writing, there were 54.2k dedicated r/nailedit fans. Hopefully, the community will expand in the future. The subreddit is too good for it to remain a niche group.

At times, that can be slightly demotivating. Especially if you feel like you’re giving it all you’ve got and the results still end up frightening your neighbors and the internet. That’s when an outside perspective might help reignite your motivation and help you develop your totally rad skills.
On a positive note, the net’s chock full of friendly folks who can’t wait to help anyone still green with their crafting troubles.
One such community is r/crochet, an incredibly bubbly and brilliant online community. Bored Panda spoke to one of the moderators during an earlier interview. In short, if you want to try something with your hands and don’t want to go for cooking, it’s best to start off with a crocheting project. It’s very beginner-friendly (and it’ll give you the chance to make a tiny Baby Yoda doll.)

Crocheting and knitting are quite similar, but sewing is a whole other ball game entirely. "They’re both yarn crafts that create fabric. Other similarities include knowing how to count stitches and read written patterns. There is no real crossover with sewing, except perhaps that advanced sewers may have an advantage in understanding how garments drape and fit," the expert told Bored Panda.

Ann Reardon (How to Cook That) has a whole series on 'cake rescues' that gives ideas on what to do if this sort of thing happens to your cake.

People need to learn how to use a piping bag a d stop smearing icing!
Marie BellaDonna 3 years ago (edited)
Well, you do need to smear on a crumb coat. At least. Preferably another coat on top of that, as well, to smooth things out. The bare cake showing on this one is killing me, lol. But yeah, piping bag for the actual decorating. A small set, for amateur use, isn't expensive. Basic stuff is actually easier than most people think it would be. Still takes practice. And detailing can be a lot harder. I never did get the hang of making roses, lol. But I always found decorating cakes to be great fun. And I did get a lot of compliments. So I guess I must've done okay, lol. Using a piping bag definitely makes your cake look better. Even using a small star tip, and filling the whole thing in with individual stars would. Looks like they attempted to do something like that here, with the white, and some of the yellow. But it looks like they just cut the corner off a plastic baggie maybe. And cut way too much. And making sure your cake/cupcakes/cookies are COMPLETELY cooled before you attempt to ice them, is one of the most important steps, that a lot of people mess up.
