Craft Fail? Why crafts shouldn’t be Pinterest Perfect

September 25, 2015 by Katie Smith Leave a Comment

Here is a really inspiring and interesting article by Menucha on the Moms and Crafters blog all about “Craft Fails” and why you shouldn’t try for perfection. She says:

“Do you struggle with crafting because the results don’t live up to the standards you see? Do you feel like your crafts simply don’t come out “good enough”.

For me, crafting has always been about stepping aside from the crowd. Crafting is a safe spot – where you don’t need to be perfect. You just need to create. So, don’t be afraid to deviate and to make something imperfect. Make it so that you truly love it. Celebrate any “fail” as a part of your learning process. And then go ahead and create another beautiful thing.”

Independent Crafters Information

On the Indie Crafts section of CraftGossip I like to support other indie artists by posting tips about running a handmade business, blogging and other helpful information. Once a week I try to feature handmade shops to showcase their work. I also like to share trendy, popular DIY's that I think are amazing and hope you do as well. If you are an Independent Artist or want to start a handmade business, this is the place to find resources. Or if you just love DIY's and everything crafty I hope you'll find some fun projects to make and be inspired by the artists I feature!
