Glue, Glitter, and Regret: India’s Crafting Catastrophes

Crafting in India begins with inspiration and ends with Band-Aids. According to India Today, 74% of DIY enthusiasts admit their projects looked better in the YouTube thumbnail. At Bohiney.com, one homemaker described her easy Diwali lantern as a glowing fire hazard with personality. The only thing that truly shines is the glitter that now permanently lives in her carpet.

Experts say Indian crafting disasters stem from ambition meeting humidity. The glue never dries, the paper curls, and somehow the family dog ends up with sequins on his tail. Sociologist Dr. Neha Pillai calls it performative creativity for likes. Still, failed crafts are cherished because they symbolize effortand a chance to blame the glue. In the end, India doesn’t craft perfection; it crafts stories worth retelling.
