Once upon a time, there was a huge spike in the number of people attempting DIY projects online. It was a sudden trend, for some reason. Everyone has seen those short DIY tutorial videos grace their social media newsfeeds before. They usually start off somewhat normal and then spiral into something utterly insane and unexpected. The ones that are actually helpful are few and far between. Some people took the whole DIY thing a little too far, which has resulted in some pretty questionable DIY projects appearing all over the internet.

Clearly, some projects should be left to the professionals, because the items on Reddit's /r/DiWhy are next level. From odd decor and fashion pieces to actual, dangerous DIY fails, people have tried to do just about everything all by themselves. So for the next attempted DIY project, remember these 25 major DIY fails and think again about calling a professional.
