Pintastic! Tested Pinterest tutorials for no-fail DIY

Leggi questo post in: Italiano

I love Pinterest. I think most anyone could spend hours and hours on it every day. So many amazing ideas, techniques, inspiration and help for DIY and life in general. But sometimes there is a slight problem with Pinterest: your version doesn’t look anything like the Pin. Which is why I created “Pintastic!”, a series of tested Pinterest tutorials, reviewed by me.

A collection of tested Pinterest DIY tutorials. The Pintastic! Pass or Fail verdict will help you have no-fail crafting, sewing and cooking every time!

Some of those absolutely fantastic ideas are not so easy to actually re-create yourself. I’m willing to bet that you have had at least one well-intentioned Pinterest fail.

A couple of years ago I totally bombed the string balloon art project like the one below, among many other projects. In fact, it’s so common that there are loads of websites, like CraftFail, and random articles full of images of Pinterest DIY fails.

Seriously, if you need a good laugh, check out those links. Whenever I look at one of those sites, I laugh until my stomach hurts and tears are running out of my eyes. Mostly because the fails are just so hilarious (as well as the captions), but also because I’ve made so many of those Pinterest fails, myself!

But a lot of the times these Pinterest fails have nothing to do with the person’s ability, but with incorrect instructions. How frustrating is it to try to recreate some awesome project, only to be baffled by the instructions, or to find that it just isn’t working as described?

This is exactly why I decided to create this new series here on Cucicucicoo, “Pintastic!” I will take it upon myself to try out cool-looking projects that I’ve found on Pinterest and give my verdict as to how do-able it is.

That way, you can find a bunch of great tested Pinterest tutorials right in one place, and you can start work on them knowing if you can trust the tutorial’s instructions or if you have to keep something in mind when creating it.

Update 2019: Originally this post showed the “Tried it!” feature. However this feature has been discontinued by Pinterest, so I have deleted those parts of this post.
