Welcome to the very first time we’ve ever tried The Pintester Movement! The idea is that a bunch of bloggers and crafters from around the interwebs all got together and decided to take on a craft or project we’ve been putting off because we’ve been too scared to do it. This is our excuse and our motivation to get it done!
We’ve gathered our supplies (whether they be pallets, candy thermometers, hot glue guns, or what-have-you) and we’ve crafted our little butts off… sometimes with less than stellar results. But we’re going to own those results, and make our fellow crafters giggle with glee at all of our attempts. (If you still want to participate, email me and I’ll send you instructions. Only caveat is that your post has to be up and a link has to be emailed to me by midnight Eastern tonight!)
Without further ado (and inspirational blah-blah-ing from me), I present to you The Pintester Movement participants! Keep checking back throughout the day! I’ll be adding more links as they come in! Please visit and comment! Bloggers love that stuff, mayn. (If you’re a participant and you don’t see your link up here, it means I didn’t get it. Send it to me!) (And, yes, some of the links are broken because the posts haven’t gone up yet. Hang in there and keep checking back!)
Featured bloggers! I asked these ladies to be my featured posters for The Pintester Movement. Thanks much, ladies!
1. Brittany Gibbons from hilarious mommy blog Brittany Herself participated with this awesome Jell-o Puddin Pop Revival!
Are Brittany’s kids not the most stinkin’ cute? Like I bet you can literally smell the adorable on them.
2. Amber Doty from the team over at GoMighty.com (who some of our participants are using as their “blog” platform) sent us a look at her attempted shot glasses. And her email concluded, “I’m drunk now.” You’re my kinda woman, Amber.
I’m sure they look better when you’re drunk.
3. Marquette and Emilee from Pinstrosity decided to do peacock feather canvases and a lampshade! So fun, thanks ladies!
LOVE the orange, gurrl.
4. My friend and fellow blogger Heather from CraftFail took on the ubiquitous Sharpie mug.
Epic fail? You’ll have to read the post to find out…
Lots more bloggers!

Love this idea! Would love it more if the links opened new pages instead of taking me from here…I’m lazy.
Easy solution is instead of left-clicking on the link, right click it and choose open in new tab. I know it’s a few more steps, but if you really like the blog you end up on and want to click through it, it’s easier to get back here.
Or CTR+click will open a new tab in the background. If you have a mouse
with a scroll-wheel, sometimes you can just click with that to open a
new tab
I didn’t know that! Thanks for the tip.
[…] I made one more tentative fray outside of the Craft/DIY section, where a recipe for vegan deviled eggs caught my attention, but I was deterred by the thought that if they really were as “true to the real thing” as possible, that sulfur smell had to come from SOMEWHERE. About to give up, I decided to give the Crafts/DIY section one more shot and lo and behold! Buried in a quite religious-leaning post, complete with fanciful prose was a project that I could do, would LIKE to do, and wouldn’t require a trip to a hardware store, the art store, or result in a trip to the emergency room. I gathered my supplies, and prepared to complete my pintest. […]

Loving reading all the bloggies but just a point of note… if I have to be signed into anything that I am not already signed into, I’m not leaving comments. Why do people make it so hard to leave comments?!?! ARRGGH!
I finally made it so anonymous comments couldn’t be left because I was getting dozens of spam comments a day and it was making me sad. But at least I have no captcha!
Jodee, which blog’s yours? Your comments always make me laugh!
I write and illustrate “I’d like Cheese on my Entire Family!” aka da Cheeseblarg.
Awesome, I had a good time reading all of them that were live and leaving comments that probably just make me look stupid. =P

Weird – a lot of those links seem to end up with ‘not found’ errors?
I think a lot of the bloggers scheduled their posts, so they may not be up until later. I’d check back! 🙂
I may not have crafted my ass off but I fell on it so that totally counts, right?
I loved reading through all of these! Good to know I’m not alone in my failed crafting attempts.

[…] If you don’t know who The Pintester is (aka Sonja Foust) you are missing out. Go and read her blog, yes her entire blog, right now. I’ll wait. She started this crazy idea for everyone to be an honorary pintester and actually DO something that we’ve been saving for “someday” for too long. So here we are. You can read more about The Pintester Movement here, The Pintester Movement: Craft ALL The Things. […]
These are great!
I was out of town for 4 days for the weekend, and sadly haven’t had time to get around to my pin. Next time, do a pintester movement not around a holiday, k? 🙂
[…] when The Pintester issued a challenge called The Pintester Movement to goad us into tackling that pin we’ve been putting off, I was totally up for […]
I love reading everyone’s posts. It’s been a lot of fun doing one as well
[…] (You can see all the Pintester Movement craft all the things here.) […]
Thanks for the push! My friends will be thrilled…Or I will be drunk.
[…] And now, Sonja is letting other people in on her turf — she’s hosting a Pintester Movement, and bloggers from all over will be testing (and fucking up) pins! I am one of them. The total list of participants can be found on her website! […]

Holy crap, Sonja, did you actually READ ALL of these??? If so, you are amazing. If not, well, frankly still amazing. <3 you are my girl-crush!
Aw, thanks. 🙂 Yep, I’m reading them all and commenting on as many as I can though I ran into technical difficulties with one or two!

Slight problem with this plan: people are just finding more pins to put on their to-do lists. Oh well, it’s awesomely fun anyway. Someone SET SOMETHING ON FIRE (but I’m not saying who, so you have to read em all… heh heh heh)

I was going to make bottle cap magnets. I’m drinking all the beer in the fridge as we speak. I feel like it’s a safe time to plug in the hot glue gun.
I look forward to reading the results 😀
My boyfriend went on a cleaning spree of our apartment and threw away all the bottle caps. So, I guess I need to drink some more beer.

Wow! It’s kinda exciting seeing my blogs name up there! You’re a genius for doing this Sonja!
This is completely fab, I’ve found a bunch of New blogs to follow that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise…and some of the pins tested are awesome. This must have been a LOT of extra work for you Sonja, so thanks…and this can I vote for this being a regular thing?

Gahhhhhh!!!! My blog is on the Pintester’s blog!!! I’m all shaky and nervous and excited!!! Thank you Sonja, for this opportunity!!
I know numbering is a complicated system, but usually 4 comes after 3 😉 Love the movement, and love the blog!
I’m loving all the blogs, but there’s no way I’m going to make it through the list tonight. Too much goodness!
This is really cool! I love pinterest tests and I’m totally making pudding pops.

How do I follow Brittany Herself? For the life of me, I just can’t figure it out lol.
Had a great time reading all of our wins/fails. Even if a pin is a fail, sometimes the process is a win in itself.
Hi from Australia .. just love your site…it keeps me entertained for hours
[…] forget to check out The Pintester Movement from yesterday! It was a smashing success, even if some of the tests were fails. There are so many […]
The Pintester Movement sounds like something I have after my morning coffee.
I have officially read them all! Fun! Probably should’ve waited since finals are next week but whatevs, stop judging me, I’m feeling accomplished.
Absolutely loved doing this and reading everyone’s projects!
I (strive) did the coffee hair removal. The end result wasn’t ready for this but I have now posted the end result.
Finally finished reading them all! Now I have about a hundred more pins I want to try!
