Hello Rainy Day: The Big FAIL

If you are like me you have definitely jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon. However, also like me (or maybe you are one of the lucky ones) you may have failed pinterest projects all over your house. This is one of my favorites- because I absolutely love what the end result should have been- and, because it definitely shows that it is best to follow directions to a tee. Yes, use a ruler or tape- measure, pin down, cut properly, etc, etc.

The FAILED Braided Scarf
-> from t-shirt to scarf <-

So, here I started with a shirt that I absolutely love- but had a hole, so I could no longer actually wear and feel good about my self. I cut off a large section that I thought would be long enough. Also, notice how unsymmetrical the cut is- I should have stopped right there, but after the first cut, I was too far in to look back.

I then took another shirt and cut the same length but in two strands. The first shirt was pink and the second gray. I at least had the great colors going for me.

As you can see from the finished braid, it is really just too short, too tight of a braid and nothing like it is supposed to look.

But, I thought why not? I tied the ends together anyway and made it into a necklace. Ignore my awesome computer backdrop, I need a light surface and everything around me was so dark!
