4.) Choose an item you recently pinned on Pinterest and…TRY IT! Was it a success or failure?
I can’t tell you how much I LOVE trying pins I find on Pinterest. They look so easy and yummy and TOTALLY do able! Sure there have been some failures, particularly any recipe I’ve attempted to make with Spaghetti Squash, but there have also been some major successes!
When I saw a pin about how to turn a regular old t-shirt into a fashionable scarf…I just KNEW it was for me! And it’s your lucky day because I decided to give you the full effect of this scarf and thought you should probably see me make it myself:
(video here)
You be the judge…was this Pinterest DIY a success? Or a fail?
In the mean time, I’ve got a hot date to catch!

I think you totally nailed it! ;-)
Wow! You make it look SO easy!
LOL! I almost did this prompt, but all I ever make are recipes! You may have inspired me to GET CRAFTY this weekend!
And I’m lying… I made bouncy balls this summer when I watched Lawn Boy’s children one night… let’s just say I’m glad I made them in his kitchen and not mine!
LOL! You are HIP! Thanks pinterest for making us even more beautiful! I love the feathers. Those were definitely what MADE the scarf!
I think the giant green gems were my favorite. My Pinterest boards are full of crafts I will never make…sigh.
So cute! I definitely need to get on Pinterest more. So much social media, so little time…
You crack me up! The feathers and green gems totally made that thing. Awesome.
Hawt!
But I kinda liked it better before the feathers. Just my opinion.
This post was definately a moment when I felt overwhelmed. Thanks for the linky party.

I am obsessed with Pinterest…still!!! I did a recipe but only b/c I couldn’t decide and that was the easiest!!!
You always crack me up.
I fell off my bed laughing…..thanks. You CRACK me up, love it. Scarf that doubles as a weapon……hit the guy over the head with the gemstones, tickle his nose and then run!!! Every girl should make one!
Oh my god, I tried to make this pin a couple months ago, and it was a horrible disaster. It just look like a giant torn t-shirt rope. I didn’t wear it outside because it looked like a craft from a preschool activity. This post is hilarious. I just kept giggling thinking “oh my god, am I watching my life right now”.
Seeing your awesome tutorial reminds me that I used to be such a scarf person and for some reason or other, I am not any more. Might be time to bring the scarf back – or perhaps make my own! (The green gems are my favourite, too!)
It was totally happening until you added the gems. THAT is where you jumped the shark. lol
You are too funny, Kat!
You are my hero and I mean that in the not so creepy way it came out.
Oh man. I needed that laugh this morning.
And I disagree with Rhea. The more gems the better! I’m thinking you’ve got yourself holiday gifts with this tutorial. Scarves for everyone! They’ll be thrilled.
I was thinking it was a fail, until you added the feathers and gems!
Omg I needed a great laugh this am. I made those last year and not well mind you. If only I know about adding the gems, or maybe those cute dollar tree solar dancers as a conversation piece.Make it work mama! Thanks now I must go with daughter to watch dr stick my grandson with first shots. Maybe we can play your video
ya, that’s how it looked in my mind when I saw that pin. kudos to you for trying it :D
kaye—the road goes ever ever on
Yeah, my husband didn’t really like it when I used one of HIS old t-shirts to make t-shirt yarn using a very similar “slice and pull” method. At least it was your t-shirt, right? :)
Awesome!
Can not say enough good things about your use of safety scissors. What they lack in sharpness, they more than make up in the unique cutting pattern evident on every strand of that fringe.
Hilarious! Loved the scarf. I think I’ll go find an old t-shirt and make one myself! Make sure to wear that on your date.
I’m such a Pinterest failure. I’m not even sure I’ve spelled it correctly. You are too funny. How about you make videos of all your pins and I can just watch that?
I SO needed this this morning! My favorite part is your apology for your nails and your little nod at the very end. Like you know this is all ridiculous. Well done, as usual. Happy DIY Day!!
WHOA! You are like Sooooo trendy now with your new Blue fancy nancy scarf!!! lol Well I think everyone shud have a scarf like yours:) great DIYng…
I am THE WORST about actually ever trying the stuff I pin! I really need to change that!
Hmmm…. I’m going to say nothing. I think that’s best.
I just want to push a “like” button here.. And on most of the crafty comments… You made my day:)
Oh what a great show you put on!!! LOVE IT! I seriously was trying to figure out if you were joking or not!! And the crowd shouted, “MORE MORE MORE!!!!!” :)
Brava!! I love the feathers. Perfect touch.
Amazing! Who knew scarf-making was so easy, eh?
Oh, and totally unrelated, but something occurred to me while watching your video – you TOTALLY remind me of Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls! Seriously.
I am home sick today so I am watching all your videos as I don’t have to fight the kids for the computer. Anyhoo-this video cracked me up! BUT, not as much as the Scooby Doo video. Ohmyword–I was laughing and snorting and the cat thinks I have lost my mind. Well, I have lost my mind, but I digress. That video was crazy funny! And you are too. :) :) xoxoxo

I can’t watch videos on this computer I’m on so will def come back to this to see the final product. I love me some Pinterest though DIY projects give me hives.
I really needed this laugh today. Marry me please? While wearing your scarf of course. xo
