How to continue the crafting process when gets complicated
As always, I need to talk a little about the post. And explain the situations before I mention the tips that will help you with the process. You can share your ideas and tips at the end of this post. Because I’m not claiming that, I’m the best, but these are tips that I follow which help me with the process.
As you know, I used to share easy DIY crafts, and also I shared some of the complicated ideas that I spend days on getting the DIY craft done. And I would like to share my experience and knowledge with you to help you in some way.
Today’s post will be about when you want to craft something. And you start easy, but as you keep going. Things get complicated as you keep going. Because if you have done any DIY craft before. Things could change in the middle of the process. However, we just need to learn how to deal with that.
At any step of the process, you might have some steps that will make things complicated. And some people would just keep trying and trying to fix things. Some people might just give up on the DIY project. To be honest, I’ve had some ideas that I didn’t want to finish anymore but it’s for the content and I need to finish them. So, I follow these tips to help me get back. Understand how to continue the crafting process when gets complicated.
FYI
There could be different reasons why the DIY process gets complicated. Because the tips on How to continue the crafting process when gets complicated will be for almost every reason. And I’m sure you will manage to get out of it and continue the process.
If you can’t get the process going again. The best option you have is to start over. You can reverse back to the last step before things got complicated as well. However, I’m sure things will be ok and you can continue.
1. Take a 10-15 minute break
The first thing you need to take is a break. And it depends on frustrated you are because when the process gets complicated, we tend to get frustrated. Well, at least, that’s how I feel when things get complicated and I can’t continue.
If you stop right after things get complicated, you can take a break for 5 minutes, That will be enough to recover mentally. However, sometimes we don’t stop and we think we can make it work by doing random things. I did this before and I regretted it a lot knowing that I can do it better; you know.
During this break, you can take a deep breath and get your mind together. Make sure that you get some sun or fresh air. And just relax to get your mind ready to continue. It’s not good to continue when things get complicated. Because it won’t help at all.
One, because you are frustrated, that your plan didn’t work the way you want. And the second one, things changed, and it’s no longer will be the same way. Therefore, you need to take a short break to be ready to set a new plan that will help you to continue.
2. Take a thorough look at the project
I would say revise the steps, but it’s not just that. You will need to take a thorough look at everything to understand what happened. And that will help you with the comeback plan. Examine and investigate the situations well to be able to have a good plan.
Don’t worry about anything at the moment. You can put together the plan meanwhile you are scanning the project. Investigating what happened. Also, why did things get complicated? This way, you will be able to skip one of the steps on how to continue the crafting process when gets complicated.
Check what did you do the last step and how can you reverse it or adjust it to make sure that you finish the project. If it’s too complicated, you will need to start over from the last step which got the process complicated, or from the beginning if it’s too bad.

Another thing that you need to look at is if you have the materials to continue and fix it. Because sometimes we rush fixing and end up not having enough materials to continue the DIY craft. And even if you find a way to fix it, you still won’t be able to continue unless you have them.
3. Determine the step that got it complicated
Like I said earlier if you decided to do two in one. And that as you look at the project, you would determine the steps that got it complicated. But, if you decided to look at different things meanwhile you thoroughly investigate the project. You can go back a few steps. See what got it complicated when you are done from the second tip.
It’s important to know what. And how things got complicated. This way, you will manage to get out of it. And adjust some of the things that you did. I always follow these tips when things get complicated. And it helps me manage. Also, learn how to continue the crafting process when gets complicated.

Going through what happened is always important if things didn’t go the way you planned. Trust me, you will experience this a lot if you start crafting. It’s fun, but you will need to have the patience to get through it all. Along with how to continue the crafting process when gets complicated.
The crafting process is unpredictable but the last steps can help you to make new plans to fix or continue crafting. At least, for me, that’s what works. And it helps me a lot when things get complicated. I just need to adjust or fix what I did.
4. Plan a possible step to continue the crafting process
Next, you would need to spend some time putting together another plan. And this time, make sure you avoid things that got the process complicated. This way, it won’t happen again and you won’t have to deal with it anymore.
This is another very important step in how to continue the crafting process when gets complicated. You can’t just do whatever is in your mind to fix it. Because that won’t work and your DIY craft will take longer if you didn’t give up already.
When I say possible step/steps, I mean depending on what happened. You can put together a comeback plan. Any possible way you can do it to continue. I can’t say how to do it unless there is a tutorial on each material and each project. But, no matter what project it will be. There will be a plan to come back and continue if it’s not too complicated and can’t find anything.
Whether or not you can continue depends on how bad the situation is but most of the time. I get out of and continue the DIY project. Even if it means I go back a couple of steps. Then, I would do it. However, I put them in a plan because it helps me to have clear steps and know what I will do.

After you have the plan ready, all you need to do is execute the plan. Make sure you do it carefully and slowly. This way, you don’t make it complicated again. And you don’t want to spend more time than needed on it.
5. Don’t proceed until you are sure it won’t get worse
Before you proceed with your crafting and get done with the DIY raft. Don’t do any step until you are sure that it won’t make it worse. Sometimes we rush the steps and end up with another complicated step and make it worse.
When you proceed with the new plan. Try to be careful and don’t start any step until you have a high chance of succeeding. This way, you don’t need to plan another one to deal with any new issues. It will make the process longer.

Always take time to study the set more before you proceed. Even though it might not go as planned in some cases. However, studying it will help to ensure that it won’t get complicated again. The process of crafting will be smooth.
It’s good to take time before you proceed with any step. Make sure that it won’t mess up the project or your plan. You won’t need to plan How to continue the crafting process when gets complicated.
6. Spot the complicated steps ahead
For some crafts, you might get another complicated step. And you need to know that before you start. This is possible and the reason why you need to know beforehand. It will help you to be more careful and plan it to make it smooth.
Maybe you can plan it again and make it easier. So, you won’t have to go through the process of recovering. Some steps you can adjust before if it’s complicated so that you will avoid any mistakes that might cause more complications in the crafting process.

The last steps are when you proceed with the new plan. However, it is also good to do it before. It will help you to continue with your plan and don’t need any recovery plan.
