DIY projects are always hit or miss. A few years ago, everyone was embarking on DIY journeys. People were taking on all kinds of projects. From making clothes and accessories to fixing housing problems, people were trying it all. Some DIY projects are pretty safe to try, no one is getting hurt from making a tacky shirt, but other DIY projects are bad news. There is a reason professionals exist, and some things should be left to them.

DIY fails are hilariously embarrassing. It's even worse when the person who committed the DIY crime thinks they did a good job, then it's both sad and cringeworthy. DIY fails come in all forms; some are definitely worse than others, but none of them should be recreated.

Reddit's /r/DIWhy is a subreddit where people share all of the worst DIY fails they find online and in real life. Here are just 25 of those majorly failed products no one will actually ever use.
