meet.make.beach day craft fail.

The day started off promising.... the weather forecast looked good, and we had plans to make amazing crafts all day at the beach!

We arrived at the beach to cloudy weather.... and it stayed that way. All day. 
Strike one.

We started by trying to craft some fun and cute wire rings. Inspired by this pin and this pin. Initially we thought this would be a quick and easy project. Turns out it was more complicated then expected. They turned out ok... but wouldn't you know it- the wire we picked makes our skin itch! So not really worth wearing. 
Strike two.

We then moved onto bracelets. We thought the mixing wire and embroidery thread could could make for a nifty project. 

Turns out Hayley knew what she was doing.... this looks good! Steph and Cindy on the other hand.... not so much. I think NAILED IT is the appropriate term here. 

To top the day off... the mocktail we had made the day before, turned out to not last very well overnight. The pear and melon combo turned kind of brown and smelled like bad fruit. Ew. *Note to self. Drink the "Taste of Summer" fresh that day.
Strike three.

So in the end, we gave up trying to come up with new crafts and moved on to our new favourite past-time, crocheting. This was the best choice we could have made... our half done blankets kept our legs warm in the not-so-nice weather. 

As much as this day turned out to be an ultimate craft fail, we still had a great time getting outside and hanging out with good friends on the beach. Stopping for deep dish pizza and beer on the way home also helped!

What is your biggest craft fail? We would love to hear about your projects gone wrong.... maybe it will make us feel better. Haha.
