Many folks are tempted to partake in the hazardous experience of DIY creation. While this can sometimes be done to save money on home repairs or just to be a little creative in our free time, the thing is, while some DIY projects can be harmless and fun, others can turn out pretty badly. So badly, in fact, that they probably violate a number of laws,and possibly put the whole neighborhood at risk.

The following creations weren't successes in any sort of way and fall into the category of total "DIY fails." While they might have turned out horribly or simply been a bad idea from the start, they can be pretty funny for the rest of us to look at, at least as long as we're not crossing paths with these things in real life. Here are 19 of our favorite DIY creations that should have never been made or even considered in the first place.
