Halloween, like all holidays, is prime time for Pinteresting. But anyone who dives into one of those seemingly simple and cute little projects should be prepared for it to turn into a DIY disaster.
No one is immune to the Pinterest fail. Not even professionals.
Candy apples appear to claim a lot of victims.
The tricky part seems to be getting anything to stick to the apples.
Sometimes your cooking experiment will look like a crime scene…
…that even sprinkles can’t save.
Parents who try to stuff their kids into pumpkins are just asking for a Pinterest fail.
Babies hate it.
Especially if you get them stuck in the pumpkin.
Stop doing it to them.
Don’t be fooled by those chocolate-covered pretzel pumpkins either.
Sure they may look easy. But they’re not.
“Spooky fingers” also aren’t for the faint of heart.
They have a tendency to turn into chunky stubs.
Same with this “skeleton,” which looks more like a gingerbread man.
This was supposed to be a “vegan/gluten free skeleton.” One commenter on the original post wrote:
“This is what happens to cookies in America.”
A for effort?
If you’ve experienced a Halloween Pinterest fail, don’t beat yourself up. Take comfort in knowing you’re not alone and send in your worst disasters to photos@globalnews.ca.
