For now have this

>>7239594
holy shit anon is that safe?! just buy yourself contacts

>>7239930
>>7239911
I think you guys are missing the point of the thread.
OP wants a BAD tutorial thread.
hence why they want the plastic bottle contact tutorial.
lrn2read

>>7239911
But this is actually really good...

Oh god that girl is from my country
D:

>>7239594
haha, that colored contact lens story reminded me of this

>>7239901
Holy shit he's trying to hide it but his eyes look so red. That's really stupid.

The water bottle contacts story is my favorite of all bad tutorials.
I am excited for the post.

>>7240133
why

i remember the neat psp thread that went along with this
people actually fixed him up fairly well given the sitaution

OP I don't have the one you're looking for but you might enjoy this one

>>7240254
I actually think the lip effect looks nice, and the eyes look cool from a distance. Not so much close up though. Like maybe if you squint a little.

>>7240254
That tutorial's not actually that bad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU5NzchNkng

>>7240286
>>7240267
You people want me to nitpick what is so terrible about this??

>>7240307
Sure, go ahead. I mean, it's not something I'd do at all, and like I said the eyes look pretty bad once she gets up close (also my internet is pretty much dicks so it's really fuzzy), but it's a cool concept and I do like the mouth.

I'd still like to hear what you have to say, I'm trying to start out and would like to know what not to do.

>>7239594

>>7240326
This tutorial is perfectly useful.

This is a bad tutorial thread.

Read harder.

>>7240194
It pained me when she jammed the icing tip onto the outside rather than cutting a hole for it in the first place.

>>7240331
This is a mediocre tutorial at best, the results look really cheap/shitty. It could work for some things, but this just looks bad from the little you see of the finished product.

>>7240634
>>7240326
Thank you. Every time I see this thing posted I facepalm. The end results will look clunky, weird, cheap, and pretty much exactly like you pulled a pair of cheap tights over a pair of loafers and painted them. Not to mention how quickly they will start to fray and run on the bottom just from the friction around the sole. Congrats, you just wasted time and money on shitty one use boot covers instead of getting a yard of spandex and actually making real ones.

>>7239911
I'm actually really impressed by this.
-saved-

>>7239594
I love these tutorials.

>>7240780
They're so bad, how come nobody else seems to notice?! She did a collab with Lacoste and got a book deal, ffs!

>>7240785
What! I was not aware of this.
That's terrible.

>>7240785
Have you ever interacted with these insane pinerest women before? They don't give a shit how stupid their garbage is but think they're crafty goddesses for making them. They can easily be identified in craft stores, just look for younger women buying premade kits for simple crap like tie blankets or who are throwing fits because they don't know what they want and sales associates can't figure it out for them.

Hey guys, I saw these dangan ronpa threads for so long that I decided to play it, and I'm really loving it!
I decided to cosplay Aoi Asahina, since I have tanned skin and a body that fits her (and m y personality and hobbies fit too~ so maybe I'll take some pool pictures), but I have some questions that I hope some of you can answer.
I'm going to use a wig, since my hair is dyed another color, and I'm wondering about the correct way to style it. Her hair seems to be a ponytail that goes up... what's the best way to do that?

Also, would there be any problem if my shoes don't fit 100% the origial? or should I custom make them?

I'm sorry for any mistakes, english isn't my first language.

>>7240950
OMG sorry wrong thread!!!

>>7240789
Yeah I saw her book in the crafts section of B&N and wtf-ed for a moment. Its nestled in with actual decent crafting books and hers is all hot glue and forks.

>>7240785
I think the "I love this" was meant like "I love these because they're so disgustingly awful"
I'd be very scared if someone legitimately loved those.

>>7241398
I posted the fork earring tutorial, I think they're absolutely terrible in a hilarious way.
I don't actually love them.
Don't fret anons.

This one is my favorite.

>>7242145
I have a folder of these saved, I'll share.

>>7242149
That's tape.
That's tape goddammit.

>>7242145
That looks like it's made with roofing shingles.

>>7239901
Oh my god no. This makes my eyes hurt so bad just watching as if real contacts don't feel awful enough for the first few minutes. What a fucking dumb ass.

>>7240133
that mustache...

>>7242149
...REALLY? ugh

>>7242157
>>7242199
It gets worse

>>7242208

>>7242208
that's like a first grade arts-and-crafts project, what the fuck?

>>7242182
Every woman has a little facial hair. Get over it.

The point is that girl is crazy for putting shit in her eyes. That photo is really nightmare enducing.

>>7242208
Wait, what are the seed packets for?

>>7242211

>>7242210
that's not "a little". shave your face.

>>7242215
For the picture.

>>7242216
those aren't so bad in theory, but...eeugghh, really poorly executed.

>>7242215
She cut out the sunflowers that were on the seed packet.

>>7242223
What the ever-loving fuck. This person seriously has a published craft book?

>>7242216
This makes no sense.

>>7242217
Uh, no. Why does someone else's facial hair bother you?

>>7242225
Yes, unfortunately.

>>7242223
Why is everything glued on? This is so shitty

>>7242225
I'm pretty sure she does. She has her own website, but I've forgotten her name so I can't look it up.

>>7242226
because it looks disgusting. if you're not going to make yourself presentable when other people can see you then you don't get to complain when people judge you for it.

>>7242225
I guess if she can do this, so I can I? It makes me sad anyone would ever buy this.

>>7242234
Well, glad I have someone who doesn't care about the little facial hair I have, considering all women have it. Im not going to waste my money on waxing every month.
You sound like someone who thinks air brushing in photos are real.

>>7242234
Presentable to whom? You?
Hahaha. I'm sure you're perfect.

>>7242210
>girl

>>7242240
gb2tumblr if you can't handle the real world where people aren't proud of you for being a lazy slob

>>7242269
It seems you're the one who can't handle the real world if you can't even stand a tiny bit of facial hair. If it's only even noticeable if you stand a few centimeters away, then it's nothing to complain about.

>>7242269
Everyone gets facial hair. Chill the fuck out. Not everyone wants to rip the hair out of their face when it's a little bit. Deal with it.

>>7242275
if it's barely noticeable then why are we having a discussion about me seeing it? obviously it's noticeable.

>>7242282
that's not the point i was making. the point i was making is that if your facial hair is as thick and visible as hers you need to fix it because it looks nasty.

>>7242223
good god

>>7242289
Since obviously the only reason you notice it is because the picture was taken right in their face. Take a 'normal' pic of the same person and you wouldn't have saw anything.

>>7242223
>>7242216
>>7242211
>>7242208
>>7242149
>>7242145
>>7240780

These can't be for real, right...? Right???

>>7242223
A fucking cupcake wrapper!

>>7242208
Ha, I actually did this all the time when I was in 6th grade. I had Sunmaid raisin lady earrings, Land O' Lake girl earrings, all kinds of stamp earrings...
However, I was 11 and not a full-grown adult with a published book.

>>7242223
this is the kind of shit I used to make when I got creative back in elementary school.

>>7242149
>>7242208
>>7242223

>>7239594
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who remembers the plastic bottle contact lenses guy.

>>7242210
That's.... a guy though.

>>7242314
I'm pretty sure that's a man, look at their chin, they have a beard coming in.

If that's not a man, that is a woman and she needs to shave, holy shit. Look more closely at their chin.

>>7242145

Out of all of the shitty shitty 'PS I made this shit' stuff this one is serviceable.

You can actually cut out some DECENT shapes like a scallop or hears or diamonds and layer them properly to end up with a decent skirt add on.

Also sew that stuff on. Glue won't last one washing.

>>7240326
I-I was gonna try this...
Should I not?

>>7243241
Just make real boot covers, don't use stockings.

a classic

"I’ll make you your very own pair of point elf-witch-wizard shoes out of your comfy sized pair, craft wire and duct tape…all orders please allow 8 weeks to fill from time of your old shoes reaching me in the mail. The perfect pair of shoes can be as fleeting/illusory as most romances, but I am here to try and grant your wishes, witches. First, a layer of silver or Gorilla brand duct tape, then a final layer of decorative duct tape(more photos to come), and if you like, a few beads on the ends."

you could either send her a pair of shoes for her to make magical, or you could pay extra for her to get shoes for you.

I miss regretsy :<

>>7242145
It's like Paco Rabanne did a felt experiment and then somebody rolled around in the leftovers.

>>7243737
why

>>7242211
i am hoping that 'pom-pom's arn't a brand of kets

>>7242216
alright idea, shite execution

More caca from psimt.

>>7243737
I probably should have posted this in the "handmade fails" thread instead.
oops.

>>7243763
it's funny because it doesn't look that disgusting from the front BUTT THEN
>safety pins up your kooter

>>7243780
It has to look cheap as fuck in real life though, it's made from an old curtain. I'm not even going to touch on how the back of the thing looks, egads.

>>7243778
Ok, they're all bad, but this makes no sense at all. So you start with a hat, and finish with a destroyed hat?

>>7243792
a SMALLER hat at that

i suppose that sort of crap will help to identify useless people

>>7243792
>>7243800
I understand if the hat was damaged in some places and you wanted to make the most out of it, but ruining a perfectly good hat is pretty stupid.

I really wish I had it screen capped but a while ago someone made a bad tutorial out of my work.

Somewhere around 2008 I made a mold for gummy souls for Soul Eater cosplay. The pics were a hit and got passed around the fandom so I made a tutorial on how I made the molds with foodsafe silicone and included the recipe.

In 2012 someone alerted me that the tutorial was now on tumblr and I thought 'hey, neat' so I went to see and it was not my tutorial at all. Some idiot had uploaded a pic of the finished candy and included a tutorial entailing making a mold from a hard plastic ball and crazyglue, filling it with jello, and chipping the mold apart with a knife to get the candy out. I eventually got it taken down but people were expressing interest in attempting the tutorial and I didnt want some underage kid getting sent to the hospital.

>>7242223
The cupcake wrapper gets me every single time.

>>7243883
This is the candy in question.

>>7243883
I also wish you had screencapped this, sounds like comedy gold.

>>7243891
The argument that went back and forth made it perfect. On one hand you had them screaming that I'm harassing them and being so unfair and that they can do what they want and on the other you had me trying to politely ask them to stop using my photos to persuade people to eat broken plastic and crazyglue.

In the end I gave up and took the issue to tumblr but the idiot ragequitted before tumblr could remove the posts.

>>7243889
Damn, that's cute. Do you still have your tutorial?

>>7243900
I have it somewhere. It's basically just a 2 part silicone mold and some jello jiggler mix with extra gelatin. Food safe materials were from makeyourownmolds.com.

>>7243916
Thanks for the link.

>>7239594

>>7240133
what the hell is the context of this image, anyway?

>>7243954
Trying to colour your eyes without using contacts. Instead, just put drops of food colouring in them!

>>7240194
the lighting (or lack of) just makes me think there's some poor deco-obsessed kid who keeps wasting all her money on buying plastic boxes and playdoh and glue hoping to make enough money peddling her shit on etsy to turn the lights back on.
>>7242149
this one never ceases to amaze me. tape rolls. it's like a parody of project runway on SNL. you could buy a ton of actual beads for the cost of all that damn tape.

>>7243763
>stictch
of course, we should expect nothing but the utmost effort from a woman who makes unironed skirts out of curtains that are only held together with safety pins.

Ok so how did a picture of a really stupid teenage boy start a feud about female facial hair though? Can someone please just post the screencap of his Deviantart or wherever this was posted that had the whole story on it and shut everyone up?

>>7243778
>straw hat
>scissors
>rape

Now this...

>>7244019
It was OK until she used the sharpie. Jesus.

>>7244019
There was a video tutorial of that one, I remember it.

>>7244019
I don't think this one would have looked that bad if she had made the pink look more faded to go with the distressed look.

>>7244004
>go to store
>pay money for gems and scrapbook paper
>arrange gems on paper
>take picture
>pay more money for phone case
>wait a month
>finally have phone case
>glue gems to a cupcake wrapper instead
>????

>>7244034
>?????

Get book deal

>>7244004
Wait, wait, so instead of just gluing the damned gems to the phone case, you're going to go with the longer, more time consuming route of gluing them to a piece of paper, taking a picture, and then receiving a phone case with gemstones printed on them? I just... how in the nine hells could someone think this was a good idea?

>>7243889
Oh shit you made that original tutorial? it was posted on LJ, right? I remember seeing it years ago and begging my friend to try and make it with me, but we didnt have the resources to get the mold materials. would love if you could find the old link.

>>7242231
It's specifically targeted to people who think sewing is too difficult to even try but still want to be crafty

>>7242223
Look at the fucking spray painted glue gun and scissors jfc

>>7243983
I'm really glad this comment had already been made, it's exactly what I thought as well.

coloring goddamn salt.

>>7244131
It'll be great when some of that flies right into your eye when you're putting on makeup!

>>7244131
Can't you just like, but the brushes in the cup without a bunch of fuckin salt in there too?

I want to stop posting and get on to other bad tutorials but there is just literally too much on this site.

>>7244131
Won't the salt stick to all the brush handles? The thought of touching that makes my stomach hurt

>>7244137
I think the idea is to keep them upright without hitting the sides of the glass...

..in which case I would've preferred pebbles or something. Y'know, not something that flies into your face with the slightest disturbance or small breeze.

>>7244147
>raw edged organza
Oh jesus christ

>>7244147
>the man repeller
And how!

The paint job on the finished product physically pains me.

>>7244051
>profit!

A SECOND tutorial that is literally just "take a picture of the thing and get it printed here"

these are sponsored posts/just an ad for that phone case site right?

Stumbled across this on deviantArt while looking for some ear making. The end product doesn't even look cute.

>>7244166
Why does it pain you?
This is actually the only tutorial she's made that I though looked acceptable

>>7244175
Not that anon, but mostly the rims are cringe-worthy. She should have covered the glass part with tape too, as opposed to leaving ugly brush marks near the inside.

>>7244175
The random white patches on the inside of the rim really kill this for me. I mean, I get that it's super DIY and nail polish and shit, but it just looks so unfinished. I mean, if you're going to paint your glasses with nail polish (????), at least put some tape around the lenses themselves and make the paint job look consistent.

>>7244178
>>7244182
Yeah that's the only part that I didn't like about it actually.
But as long as you cover the lens and paint the rims correctly isn't it a good idea? I think if she had covered the lenses and painted it and not left brush marks that it would actually look pretty cool.

>>7244131
Why not use colored sand like real sand art, instead of coloring fucking salt? Also, that's going to get mixed up pretty fast with the brushes coming in and out. What the fuck?

>what are premade studs

>>7243996
thank god for this tutorial.
wow.

>>7244191
This hurts me. If you want to put spikes in clothes, you can just go to hobby lobby and spend a few bucks for some real ones, not use shitty chopstick tips and glue.

>>7243996
>brilliant
If you call sandblasted brilliant, sure...

>>7244191
what a waste of chop sticks

>>7244191
jesus christ, that wouldn't last ten seconds when brushed against something

you'd think for a DIY princess they'd understand shit like rhinestones and stud guns

>>7244170
mfw I saw the gluegun

I can imagine the person who made this go like
>gluegun looks disgusting
>too lazy to clean it
>assume everyone's gluegun looks this way

>>7244131
hahaha this was something we used to do in kindergarden...but then with more colors and effects

>>7244297
I don't even get why their glue gun is dirty. The only "dirtiness" I deal with with my glue gun is strands of hot glue drying on the tip, which I just peel off after it's cooled. I don't go to work on a project with dirty hands or throw my glue gun around the room...

>>7243883
What the Heck, that poor idiot.

I wouldn't mind seeing your tutorial though. I'd do it right.

>>7244147
>>7244147
The more I see of these tutorials, the more I dislike the woman who made them. I really hope she's not the one who published a craft book.

>>7244306
Then I've got bad news for you friend.

>>7244131
Why just why.
I would never want salt near my make up brushes.

>>7244311
Life is one cruel sick joke.

>>7243778
This one bugs me because you take a sun hat.... and use it to make a even crappier sun hat.

>>7244191
even though this is literally the stupidest tutorial, it would make way more sense to spray and THEN chop. ensure an even coating and make it easier to keep the tips apart while they dry.
or just buy actual gold garment studs that won't fall off once the glue weakens.
and they aren't even chop sticks, they're barbecue skewers.

Bumping for plastic bottle contacts. And maybe more of these psimt, oh my god my sides.

>>7239901
How squicky is this...I'm curious but also a wimp.

Her tutorials wouldn't bother me as much if she didn't use the hot glue gun for literally everything. Girl needs some E6000.

>>7246588

Everything looks so cheap, though.

>>7246588
give this person a break. we were all in kindergarten at one point or another.

>>7244297
....Does this actually work?

>>7246588
E6000?

>>7247832

>>7246157
Not at all, just pretty stupid.

>>7247827
It looks about as good as any lump of hot glue painted with foundation and glued to your ear will look.

>>7242223
>she didn't even bother to sear and finish the ribbon edges

>>7250163
She used a muffin paper. From that point on, why bother finishing the ribbon at all. All her shit tutorials look like things kindergarteners make in craft time and bring home to their parents.

She doesn't even sew, she glues the seams of anything she cuts up. I doubt it would stand up to a wash. What a hot mess, all of it.

>>7247859
I somehow had a tube of this leak inside a drawer once. Everything was unsalvageable. A+ shit would recommend.
