It's not exactly a secret that I'm not the most crafty of bloggers but I do like to try and be as creative as often as I can- not always with the best results though! Today I'm going to share some of my most spectacular Pinterest fails....I love Pinterest and get a lot of my inspiration from things that I see on there but the problem is, not being very creative and not wanting to spend money on extra materials means that often, I try and re-create something I've seen on Pinterest my own way.
