EPF reader Brittany sent us the following fail. Thanks, Brittany!
The original pin – make a Christmas wreath for your door with ornaments:

Says Pursewna: “Unfortunately I was sloppy – all those little strings that happen when you use a glue gun? They are VERY noticeable when you spray paint over the top of them. Boo! This craft project was a MAJOR FAIL! Grade: D-”
It’s totally OK! Remember, in crafting, it’s not the destination. It’s the journey:

The blogger said “Let’s just say the finished lampshade was NOT what I was going for. AND, when I put it on the lamp, the ruffles are so thick that the light can’t get through. So funny!!”
