I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.

My own craft fail was something I found on pinterest and just 'had' to try.
The Instructions said:
Directions:
1. Cut a glow stick and shake the contents into a jar. Add diamond glitter
2. Seal the top with a lid.
3. Shake.
I searched the shops for glow in the dark bracelets; found a pack of ten. Took two of them and cut off the ends then emptied the contents of the bracelets into an empty glass jar. Added glitter. Closed the lid and shook the living daylights out of the darn thing.
The instructions promised me a wonderful jar of something magical which looked like fairies and fire-fly's all dancing around and twinkling merrily.
What I got was the biggest mess of all time.
I ended up with a large jam jar with streaks and blobs of disgusting looking mess which wouldn't enchant even the youngest of fairy believers. Oh ... and those instructions didn't tell me that the liquid inside is toxic, nor did they mention that there is a length of glass tube inside the bracelets - which is what you 'crack' when you make the bracelets glow in the dark, but this glass pops out of the bracelet when you empty the contents ... and you've then got to get it out of the glass jar and dispose of it carefully.
Don't be fooled by the pretty jar of lights in that photograph above. That's not what you're going to get for all your trouble.
*pops onto Pinterest to remove this from my pins*
Haha seriously, I have Been waiting for shops to get their Halloween things in so i can buy the glow sticks!
I won't bother now lol!
I love craft fail. So many things i look at and think 'that would happen to me'
The pin wheels there are horrible! It looks like half and half cookies?
Although when i tried my hand at them it was bad too!
Ah lol you live and you learn, at least they were tasty!

I love how so many of us have attempted/was planning to attempt the fairies in a jar!
We are obviously craft magpies, forever chasing the glitter!
The reason I don't have any photo's of my craft fails is because I live by my saying of many years experience ...
DESTROY ALL EVIDENCE THAT YOU EVER TRIED!
I love the idea of that site, but how do I navigate around to see other 'fails' on it?
