There’s a new craft blog out there… with a twist.  It’s all about those crafts that should never have been made, never been finished - or even worse, given as gifts!

Craft Fail celebrates those crafts that we love to laugh about… much later.  At the time, they can sometimes make us cry, scream in frustration or feel like throwing craft supplies across the room!

Do you have a regrettable project that you’d like to share?  I’m sure the editors at Craft Fail would love to hear about it.   I’m sure I’ve got one or two projects I could dig up…
