Sometimes you win when it comes to Pinterest. And sometimes you lose…miserably.
I found this adorable sock teddy bear and decided to show it to my 8 year-old daughter. We have a basket full of mate-less socks, so this seemed like a simple afternoon upcycling project for us to tackle. We gathered the necessary materials, pulled the picture tutorial up on Pinterest and proceeded to totally nail it!
We were going for a sock teddy bear, but after some disastrous cutting, poor hand sewing, and confusion with the directions, we ended up with a…sock pig? Nailed it.
This might not have turned into the adorable, pink sock teddy bear we imagined, but Ella and I laughed for a good 15 minutes over those tiny legs and that huge belly. She wanted to give up, but I was doing most of the work anyway, so I was determined to finish.
Just in case one “nailed it” meme isn’t enough, here some more hilarious ones for your viewing pleasure!
This is hysterical! I am so NOT crafty and this is exactly what most of my Pinterest projects turn out.
Oh, my. The arms have fallen off now.
This is too funny. That’s why most of my pinterest pins are just to look at.
