This blogger succeeded in changing this chair's color with some spray fabric paint.
But this paint was no match for a stubborn floral print (note to self: stick to solids for this DIY).
Everyone knows the chocolatey, coconutty, caramel-striped Samoa is the queen of Girl Scout cookies. Let's see what happens when you try to make them at home.
This user followed the recipe to a tee, subbing cookie cutters for a wine glass and a shot glass. Maybe just buy a box next time?
This diagram for lining your eyes and curling your lashes at the same time seems easy enough. Or does it?
When beauty vlogger Ellko tried the trick, unfortunately it turned out more messy than perfect.
This petite accessory makes for an adorably kitschy key bowl or desk organizer.
A balloon helps the bowl take shape, but this one popped before the glue could set!
Frozen pancakes, artful fruit arrangement, and marshmallows. That's it. It's pretty much impossible to mess up these bunny pancakes right?
Kudos to this person who tried to get creative with homemade pancakes and banana bunny ears. The result was nothing less than terrifying.
Cocoa powder plus lotion supposedly creates a cheap at-home self tanner.
Thanks to blogger Jillie, we now know this two-recipe doesn't give you a golden bronze glow, but rather a streaky, kind of dirty look.
A chalk paint hack gave this standard desk crackly, old-world charm.
But you might need a good dose of artistic talent to really nail the look.
We love a good dessert mash-up and these cupcake cones are pretty much perfect in our eyes.
Perhaps these are two desserts better enjoyed separately.
This nail design is so soft and pretty — and looks deceptively easy.
All the steps were in place, so what went wrong? We're not sure, but this just looks sloppy and sad.
Is there anything more smile-inducing than a row of mason jars filled with edible greens? Nope. There is not.
No amount of canning jar cuteness will save your plants if they're not near sunlight.
"1-minute brownie" might possibly be our favorite 3 words of all time. AND you can microwave them using just a mug. What can go wrong?
Don't turn your back on the microwave, guys, and pay attention to the power levels. Fondue anyone?
Visually stunning, this makeup would turn heads as a cool Halloween costume. Right?
We admire this woman for attempting to master pop art makeup, but we think she missed the mark. A lot. But hey, if there's any day of the year when this look would (sort of) fly, it's Halloween.
We're not sure we've ever seen a cheerier slice-and-bake pattern.
But a too-warm kitchen turned this technique into a flub.
It's pie meets cookie in tiny form! All you really need is refrigerated sugar cookie dough and cherry pie filling.
Apparently this dessert is harder than it looks. These cookie cups literally cannot keep it together.
Whether it's for No-Shave November or a swanky black tie event, an adorable mustached manicure like this is always impressive.
Unfortunately, those cute little mustaches weren't quite so easy to actually accomplish.
Swapping out the standard plastic container is a stylish sink-side upgrade.
But if your stencil slips, this project takes on a "preschool craft time" vibe.
Healthy cheese sticks! Could this be real?
The lesson: Everything is better fried.
While it may be impractical, it's hard to deny that this Pinterest-popular look is pretty cool.
Okay, so it didn't pan out as planned, but at least this fail is full of deliciousness.
If your shade simply isn't girlie enough, pile on the fabric scrap frills.
But guess what can't get through a dense pile of ruffles? Light!
If you don't already know, the paleo diet (aka caveman diet) is super hot right now. It doesn't allow for gluten or grains so this bread seems to good to be true.
Too bad this bread came out more like a rock. Cavemen like rocks right?
This manicure is so bright and gorgeous, what nail art aficionado could resist trying it out?
Alas, this design didn't quite pan out the way this woman expected. In her defense, she did say she'd find better tape for her next try.
Perpendicular beige stripes create a charming effect that mimics your favorite button-down shirt.
But choose blue and the final look isn't quite as quaint (this blogger even thought it was prison-like — eep!).
Romantic bacon. Does it get any better? Looks pretty easy too....
Apparently not. These are breakin' our bacon heart.
This DIY lip tint seems like a delicious and easy homemade beauty trick.
Sonja over at Pintester tried this seemingly simple DIY, but the results were less than picture perfect. On the bright side, she ate the rest of the delicious Crystal Light package she used.
A bounty of baubles makes festive door decor during the holidays.
But choosing heavy glass balls over plastic ones can make the display look a little droopy.
We were so relieved to hear there was finally an acceptable way to work cookies into our morning diet.
That was until we saw this sticky disaster. The lesson: Don't forget to spray down your waffle iron. And maybe, you know, stick to making waffles in there.
These nails are perfect for the holidays, but how did you get those diagonal lines so precise?
Well, there's red and there's white, so it's almost like a candy cane. Right?
This inventive DIY helps you beat the heat with extra whimsy.
But pastel hues are apparently a flop when spun at high speeds.
The key to making this patriotic layered drink is keeping liquids with higher sugar on the bottom and the least amount of sugar on top.
We guess someone forgot to tell the person who ended up with purple swamp water.
Stick-straight locks like these that don't require heat tools? Sign us up. All it supposedly takes is a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of brown sugar spritzed all over your hair, which you then let air dry.
While she got some lovely beachy waves, this tip didn't even come close to creating pin-straight hair.
We're sure these cuties would be in high demand at your cookie swap.
The baker's not quite sure what went wrong, but these aren't the pudgy sweets she was expecting.
Nothing is better than biting into a cupcake, except maybe biting into a cupcake with a heart inside.
You know, biting into a cupcake with a red blob inside is probably tasty too. Good effort Jamie!
How cute are these? They add a unique look to your hands, but that black outline can't be easy to pull off.
We were right — it wasn't easy to pull off. But fail aside, she nailed the cartoony look.
Leave a subtle 3D message on painted glass with puffy paint or a bit of hot glue.
But without a steady hand (and some really cooperative glue), this craft quickly turns sloppy.
These little bread bunnies would be so perfect for Easter or really any day because they are so darn adorable...
Too bad this person ended up with demonic looking Pokemon creatures. Maybe serve for Halloween instead?
What a cute way to show off your patriotic pride! A few accent nails shouldn't be a problem.
Perhaps this is one manicure that's best left to the professionals.
Cake is always a welcome treat, but this patriotic surprise inside will make you hostess of the year.
But you might need some serious stacking skills to get this puzzle to stand at attention.
It doesn't get easier than making jello, so these boozy Harry Potter- inspired gelatin shots seem easy right?
Maybe not. Poor Tessa subbed Pop Rocks for the sprinkles to be even more festive, but all she got was this pile of slime.
Check out this seemingly simple bun tutorial: Just roll your hair into buns, secure them for a while, then let 'em out and enjoy your gorgeous curls.
...Or enjoy your Carrie Bradshaw circa 1999 curls, like this Pinterest user did.
This copper-toned mosaic gets its unique look from your piggy bank.
A botched, choppy layout and too much adhesive made this attempt not-so-stylish.
This nail ribbon tutorial is gorgeous, but is it possible to actually accomplish?
Perhaps this is why we all typically stick with solid colors when painting our own nails.
This upgraded take on the crayon-melting trend employs a chic chevron pattern.
But even though you've neatly taped the pattern, melting wax just has a life of its own.
This picture perfect hairstyle is beloved by Pinterest lovers and celebrities alike, but is it as easy as it looks to pull off on your own?
Answer: Apparently not. On the bright side, this looks like a voluminous messy bun — which is an actual updo plenty of celebrities do.
If you have super long hair and are searching for a funky style to try for a romantic night, this complicated 'do looks very impressive.
