Pinterest Fail

I have been spending/wasting a lot of my time on Pinterest. There are so many pretty and interesting things to look at and think about making. Hurricane Irene gave me a full Sunday with nothing to do so I thought I would finally try two of the things I saw on there. I would say that both of them were failures but it was a nice change to sit still and give my full attention to something.

These paint chip coasters were a no brainer to try because I already owned all the supplies. Regular wall tiles, some glaze and some free paint samples. All you have to do is decoupage them onto each other. I don't even have a final pictures of them. This is them waiting for the glaze to dry but you get the picture. They weren't so bad but the brush marks were very very obvious on them. I'll either use them underneath plants or give them to Grace because she loves them.
I can't find the link for these pictures but there is a shop on Etsy that sells them. I looked at them and thought they didn't look too hard to make. They are unless you have some sort of laser plumb level so you can get all the lines and spaces straight. This is not my strong point. I still like the idea of them though so I might try again after I have more time to think about how to arrange them. Grace also wants this for her room. I can always count on her to like all my stuff instead of thinking they're failures.
