Crafts I REGRET making - My DIY Project FAILS (learn from my mistakes!)

[@MeganWeller]

Hey guys! In this video I thought it would be fun to go through a few of my older projects that didn't exactly go as planned. It's always been my goal to show you projects that actually work - but sometimes things just don't hold up! (PS - hopefully the audio isn't too messed up - I need to set up an indoor filming space before I do any more "on camera" videos!)

Other = seeing the cat toys box Me = trying to see that purple mc Donald's 💜 bts meal packing and whenever I watch your videos u are always obsessed with purple are u an army 💜

[@MeganWeller]

No, it’s just my favorite color! (It’s been my favorite color my whole life - long before BTS was popular) They’re fine, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to them/buy their merch.

[@strqwberiies2273]

Hi meghan! On what days do u post? I am obsessed with your vids:)

[@ghost_toast8393]

I really appreciate how you talk about these things, it’s really helpful so people can avoid these mistakes! Thank you! 💜

[@MeganWeller]

Of course! I thought it would be interesting to show how certain things held up - sometimes things “work” initially, and you don’t find the problems until later 😅💜

[@maomaomi5434]

My dad got me this scented modelling clay set once, so I made fruits out of every color and piled them up inside a plastic container and put it on a shelf and forgot about it. Fast forward a few years later when I was cleaning out my room and found it. I was excited to find an excuse to stop cleaning and start playing with the synthetic strawberry scented stuff again, but as soon as I opened the container it stank up my whole room with the smell of car oil, and the clay was so degraded that it crumbled in some parts and had a layer of yellowish grease in others. My hands felt so gross and slimy and I had to wash them in vinegar to get rid of the grease. I threw em all out. R.i.p clay fruits :'(

[@MeganWeller]

Oh no! That sounds like such a cool idea, that sucks that the clay didn’t last.

[@maomaomi5434]

@@MeganWeller yeah it was a real shame. They were neon-colored too which is my weakness... :'(

[@whyareureadingthis2901]

Nooooo😭 I thought this was a happy story also R.I.P clay fruits😭

[@noelledenton3200]

Oh no that’s terrible! Im so sorry! RIP the clay fruits 😢

[@haramango586]

so last year i got posca pens and was so excited to use them. I decided to put them on my tablet case and it ended up looking horrible! The paint chips of, the colors don't looks good and it is just not a good idea. So, if you have a tablet case that has the 3 sectioned thing so you can fold it up and hold up your tablet, you might want to rethink before you paint it. Anyways, i enjoyed the video, can't wait to see another one:)

[@MeganWeller]

I’m pretty sure my tablet case is like that - I can see why that might be a problem! And thank you! 💜

[@mapistuffyvideos5216]

This happened to me at the beginning of quarantine, but with embroidery 😂😂 Good to inow some artist go through the same fails,doesn't make me feel like the process was worth it.

[@MeganWeller]

Same - that lasted about 2 weeks 😅 I just cycle through about a million different hobbies, I get bored doing the same thing for too long.

[@moonlampje79]

How did your crochet harry styles cardigan adventure turn out? Did you ever finish it? I love the mermaid tail from this video 🥰

[@MeganWeller]

I have the “body” of the cardigan together - I just need to make the collar and the “ribbing” around the bottom/sleeves. I made it way too big initially, so I had to rework it a little, but I didn’t forget about it! 😅 and thank you! 💜

[@leilamat08]

@@MeganWeller my grandma made me one and it’s HUGE in me but its so comfy 🥰

[@greeniewashere]

The fact I tried all of them- and I loved them very much.

[@MeganWeller]

Aw, I’m glad you liked them! 💜

[@user-if6go4vb4x]

Thanks for always making honest videos! I appreciate how you made this video to explain how things worked and stuff. They were still cool ideas that you made up even if they aren't still how you wanted them to end up. As always, I love your videos and I look forward to watching them whenever you post them!

[@MeganWeller]

Thank you so much! 💜

[@Tezzica]

I had major flashbacks to my woodworking horror when you mentioned, "power tools are not as scary as you think." Back in HS, I ended up starting one of the saws directly on top of the wood while our teacher had told us not to do this... Alas, I almost took out several students as that piece of wood went flying.

[@MeganWeller]

I probably should have expanded on that point lol - as long as no one loses any limbs you’re doing alright! 😅💜

[@arely3477]

omg I haven’t watched your videos in so longggg YOU HAVE AN INTRO NOW it looks goodddd Æ I love watching your videos they are so creativeeee 😊👍

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Thank you for sharing. =) yes, I've had many crafting fails... for example, I tried to make skull decorations, with tp tubes, and balloons, (papier maché style).... they ended up in the trash, they didn't look good at all.... I tried making Christmas trees from cardboard.... they sort of worked, but.... they ended up in the trash, too. .... ETC.....

[@GoofyGooberMars]

Hi Megan! I was just rewatching your videos and I'm glad there's a new video! They're always awesome!

[@avrilbrielletarver8960]

I have a lot of projects that I have no idea why I made too! Actually it's been a while since I've made any projects... but when I paint or draw something, I first like it and then I find a point which I wanna make better and try to make it better, but it just gets ruined and I end up regretting the fact that I decided to edit it!😑 Anyways, Lots and lots of love from India 😊❤❤❤❤

[@MeganWeller]

I’ve had that problem too - sometimes it can be difficult to know when to stop! 😅💜

[@nadim7294]

Thank you for another amazing video 🤍

[@liesbethartlife]

Oh yeah I have a few of those projects too :) in my head it looks so easy and beautiful … in reality it’s a whole other story

Dear Miss Weller, a long overdue greeting of my admiration and appreciation of your creative and absolutely entertaining videos :) The projects you show I have to say only shows the extended talent you actually have

[@safawasifbakkar0806]

I really appreciate the honeaty i guess for the drawers fivider you shou make silts n insert them in each other and use a thicker cardboard. Idk but i didnt like the jacket but do appreciate ur effort n loved the jeans pocket supplies holder it was so great. I loved how u talked about these hehe u should do worst art hacks or hacks i regreat trying or something similiar. But these r learning curves hehe

[@MeganWeller]

I’m planning on doing a video showing the projects that were bad enough that they didn’t even make it into a video once I collect enough 😅 (I have 4 or 5 so far) Yep, definitely a learning experience!

That’s true - even if the end result isn’t perfect, I always learn something! Thank you! 💜

[@rivercreates6848]

One of my crafts that didn’t work well, was when I used a card board box and made cardboard panels, so that I could organize my pens, pencils, and markers. The thing is I don’t own hot glue, so I tried using tape. I was considering to paint it, which I’m glad I didn’t , because in the end it all crashed together, so there’s hardly any organization now…

[@rivercreates6848]

Also great video!

[@MeganWeller]

Sounds a little like my “drawer dividers” fail! I’d highly recommend investing in a hot glue gun - you can get them for about $5 at the craft store, and you can get the glue sticks at the dollar tree. It makes a huge difference! 💜

Challenge: recuse old magazines and newspapers

[@zaithoonsoutlet4646]

lat year i made these cute trending clay earing and then i kept it for drying since it was an air dry clay ,but later it all turned green and grass started growing on it it was so gross that i just had to throw it away and another painting i did was like a painting of sea and a sky but it all turned into trash and like the whole page was blue and so yah it sucks

[@MeganWeller]

Yeah, you definitely have to be careful with air dry clay/make sure it’s completely dry! That’s why I like polymer clay - 15 minutes in the oven and you’re set! I have a few failed paintings as well - I tried to do a “Bob Ross” oil painting but quickly learned that oil paints aren’t my thing😅 💜

Nobody gonna talk about how pretty she is

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

Megan just casually saying she has large hips as if it's a bad thing.

[@MeganWeller]

It is when you’re trying to find pants! They’re always huge at the waist and too tight around my legs 😩 I’m glad that “curvy” jeans are a thing now, at least that makes it a little easier! (and wide leg/mom/dad jeans - so glad that skinny jeans aren’t as trendy anymore 😅)

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

@@MeganWeller I can't wear high waisted pants because they just don't look good on me cause I have hip dips, so I don't have that much experience with that issue. But I have had skirts hit me at weird places between my waist and hips because they were to big to sit at my waist and too small to sit on my hips. But when you find clothes that fit right, I'm sure they still look great!
