20+ Crafters who tried to be aesthetic but instead created the arts 'n' crafts projects of nightmares

In order to create great art, an artist has to fail over and over and over. If they stick with their craft, the artist might eventually succeed, and make lovely art pieces that people can't wait to buy.

Not everyone is a professional artist, though – some people just make art for fun and entertainment, while others do it for the 'gram. Inspired largely by the proliferation of Pinterest crafts for every holiday imaginable, these folks tried their hand at DIY art. After all, how hard could it be to make a Santa Claus out of cotton balls, or a wreath made out of pinecones and wire?

Scroll down to see which of these deceivingly simple art projects you could handle. Then, read about this Dad who is comically oblivious to the world around him and refuses to read menus or learn proper cooking techniques due to his own stubbornness.

This dad shared that "Those TikTok craft videos make everything look so easy."

An attempt was made to do a felting craft. Is it an owl or a house? I guess it's abstract, for now!
