21 Craft Ideas from Pinterest We NEVER Want To See Again – What Would You Add To The List?

July 20, 2015 by Larissa Coleman

pinterest

Pinterest has become a huge go to for most of us, and as crafters, we tend to fall back on the site as a great place for inspiration.  While it does have a lot of good ideas, there are some ideas that are simply too much and a little to extreme for reality.  You know what I’m talking about.  Those crafts that are just ridiculous looking and something that no one would really ever try making, let alone display in their home.  It makes you wonder why someone even took the time making them in the first place.

This post is 21 of those projects that we are just plain tired of seeing and wonder who really even make them.  What would you add to the list?

    I haven’t seen most of those pinterest ideas and I am an avid pinner! One craft idea that I think has been overdone (and one I actually did use) is the melted crayon art where you use a blow dryer to create drippings from the crayons. I’m ready to see that one banned!

Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin Tutorial

This Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin is such a clever little fall craft, and I love that it turns something completely ordinary into rustic farmhouse décor. A simple kitchen strainer suddenly becomes a sweet autumn pumpkin filled with mini pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and seasonal texture.

What makes this project so charming is the mix of materials. The metal mesh strainer gives it that slightly vintage, farmhouse look, while the twine-wrapped handle makes it feel warm and handmade. Add in the burlap leaf and little fall fillers, and it becomes the kind of decoration that would look lovely on a mantel, tiered tray, kitchen shelf, or Thanksgiving table.

This is also a great budget-friendly Dollar Tree craft because you can customize it with whatever fall supplies you already have. Use white pumpkins for a neutral farmhouse style, orange pumpkins for a classic autumn look, or add berries, cinnamon sticks, raffia, ribbon, or fairy lights to make it your own.

I especially like that this project is different from the usual wreath or painted pumpkin craft. It has a cute “repurposed kitchen item” feel, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves upcycled décor and cozy handmade fall projects.
