When I look at that strip and how it’s supposed to end up, I think, “Oh my God, haha—that thick brown metal is so hard to bend! I’m not Superman, Robotime!” When you coil it up, it gets really, really thick.
I can’t even get it into the hole…
…not even with that lovely, slender bonsai shape.
Get ready for the bonsai-shaped horror I ended up with, hahaha.
I’m even adding a sound effect in case you want to click—XD—upon the reveal of my bonsai… if you can even call it that.
Hahaha, your storytelling made this so entertaining! I know it didn’t turn out the way you imagined, but that’s part of the fun of these builds sometimes. Honestly, I admire that you shared the reality of it instead of pretending everything went perfectly. I can’t wait to see what your next “masterpiece” looks like!
Gets me all the time! It’s a classic case of expectations vs reality. I see the instructions and I think “I got this!” then I make the plant, take a look at it, and say, “what the heck?”
Hahaha, exactly! But that happens to me especially with plants—that’s why I hate them and don’t want any plant kits. There’s no way they ever turn out looking like the photo; they always come out looking like a total mess! Hahahaha, that’s why I played that sound, haha.
