Craft Fail Giveaway

A while back we received an email from Heather Mann, the creative genius behind Craft Fail. She was putting together a book of Craft Fails and wondered if we had anything to submit and if we wanted to help her with her book. We were excited about the idea and of course we wanted to help.


You can preview the book via Amazon here.

The projects of our own that we submitted didn't actually make it in the book, but people who submitted projects to our site also submitted projects to her book and some of those made it in. So some of the projects you've seen here on Pinstrosity are in print for all the world to see as well! How cool is that?! In addition to those projects are pages full or awesome and hilarious crafting fails you probably haven't seen yet. This book makes a great coffee table book to thumb through, a funny book to have by your bedside when you need to relax and have a good chuckle, a book to set in your crafting room to remind you that a craft fail/Pinstrosity isn't the end of the world, or it even makes an excellent gift for a friend.

Speaking of giving this book as a gift...

We were sent 2 copies of the book as a thank you for our involvement in the book, and we now want to spread the cheer and share those with you! We're giving away 2 copies of this book to two lucky Pinstrosipeeps!

How do you enter? Leave a comment below with the Pinstrosity post you hope to see in the book! The giveaway closes Friday, January 30th at 11:59 PM, and the winners will be posted Saturday morning!

    I think the yarn ball pendants would be a good addition to the book!

    I would love to see the yarn balloons in the book! It seems to be something a lot of people do as I have heard it spoken of a lot in fiber sections of craft stores. By far my favorite Pinstrosity.

    Oh, yes, the yarn balloons. There could be a whole chapter on yarn balloons.

    Blorping buffalo bites, that's my favorite recent fail. The name alone is funny.

    The minion cake fail was probably the first one I remember seeing and has stuck with me ever since!

    I don't know if I'm too late, but I'd love to win a copy! My favorite fail was probably the bell pepper eggs. I thought they were so funny and I'd love to see them in the book.

    I love any baking fail that comes my way, especially the ones that are supposed to be a cute little animal or somethin and turn out a cross eyed cookie with chocolate drool :D

    I'd like to see dripping and burnt crayons. Actually, anything in that book must be funny, love the cover!

    Maybe I'm a bad person, but I always get a kick out of rainbow projects going awry. The Sunshine in a Jar or rainbow cupcakes were personal favorite pinstrosities.

    I would love to see the demon (or bloated) bunny buns in the book. Or baby in a pumpkin!

    The flag cakes or the cookie monster cupcakes. There's so many funny ones though it's hard to pick.

    Please don't make me choose between the gummy shot glasses and the honeycomb cake.

    The recipe fails always crack me up. We've all had a few recipe fails (although some are much more spectacular than others!) and misery loves company. :)
    The coolie bowl fail is one of my favorites.

    I always get a good laugh out of those yarn balls made by *trying* to stick yarn to the outside of a balloon. I'm sure you'd have enough of those alone to fill one whole book!

    I dunno the no-wheat tortilla fail would be hilarious to read through in print!
