INSPO VS ATTEMPT

Sometimes I create something that I absolutely love, other times I wonder why I even bothered. One thing I’ve definitely learned is I’m always going to be harder on myself than anyone else so I might as well share it. Last 2 have always been my favorites!!! ❤️

Have you ever tried any of these because I would LOVE to see if you have!

I also make baby diaper wreaths where the diapers have no glue or anything so that they are still usable and those always turn out my favorite!

... Read moreArtistic expression is a journey filled with ups and downs, and many creators often face the dilemma of feeling overly critical of their work. It's important to embrace both inspiration and the attempts that come from it. In the realm of DIY projects, finding the joy in creating, regardless of the outcome, is key. One popular trend has been the creation of unique baby diaper wreaths, which serve as charming gifts for new parents and can be crafted without using glue, allowing the diapers to remain usable. Additionally, engaging with the DIY community through hashtags like #diyhomedecor, #wreathmaking, and #attemptingart can provide inspiration and support. Sharing your endeavors online can lead to a richer experience, connecting you with others who share your creative interests. Whether you're inspired by a particular theme or simply motivated by the joy of making, remember that every attempt is a step towards artistic growth and development.

it kinda looks like you're trying to copy them rather than take inspiration from them (not the wreaths, those are good), which may be the problem. it looks like you tried to place the clouds in the same place as the inspo, but you have a different canvas size, and it looks like different paint, too.

I love doing my own nails at home using glue-on nails and gel polish! I had a few other ideas but after talking to my friends, they helped me choose this first inspo pic I found on Pinterest. These might be one of the best sets I've ever done on myself, they came out so cute and I'm in

I wanted amber glass with some dried florals and a few blooms. I wanted them a little fuller than the inspo photos. I need them done prior to the wedding so it’s one less thing to worry about. I’m liking them so far but maybe some a little more simple! These will be on long tables with candelabras,
