Confession: I made these crafts to distract from my dating app addiction. Here’s how to cosplay friendship for the ‘gram.
1. Sad Book Page Wall: Literacy Cosplay
Destroy literature to prove you have friends:
• Tear pages from books you’ll never read
• Write basic phrases in your 3rd-grade cursive
• Pro tip: Use romance novels – irony sells
2. Dollar Store Desperation: Trash Chic Flutes
Upcycle garbage into “luxe” decor:
• Spray paint hides dollar store shame
• Dead eucalyptus = ~aesthetic~ decay
• Perfect for hiding cheap wine taste
3. Lazy Crafter’s Garland: Felt Rejects
For people who failed Home Ec:
• Lopsided hearts hide commitment issues
• String from last year’s Christmas lights
• Hot tip: Use glue gun – third-degree burns build character
4. Sad Girl Charcuterie: Carb Therapy
Arrange your emotional eating artfully:
• IKEA tray = crumb containment zone
• Pink snacks mask binging shame
• Label idea: “His Loss Chips”
5. Coffee Filter Fortunes: False Hope Packets
Give friends generic inspo they’ll ignore:
• Fold filters like origami failures
• Write “You’ll Find Love!” (lie)
• Pro tip: Add wine pairings – truth serum included
6. Depression Lighting: Hide Your Tears
Set the vibe for existential chats:
• Red scarves from exes = free filters
• $15 Amazon lamp = poor financial choices
• Warning: May induce drunken confessions
7. Cringe Memory Shrine: Past Glory Display
Celebrate friendships that’ll fade by May:
• Blurry pics from that one good night
• Inside jokes nobody remembers
• Pro tip: Add ex’s photo – cross out face dramatically
Final Delusion
Your squad now looks #Blessed online and miserable IRL. Tag us in your #GalentinesFails – bonus if someone cries in the backdrop pics.
