25 DIY Projects Gone Horribly Wrong

The artistry of a DIY project is something that comes naturally to some, but not so much to others. DIY projects, or "do it yourself" projects, are a way to put someone's handyman skills to the test and create something beautiful with a touch of uniqueness to it. Many DIY projects turn out great and are a fun way to spend a weekend on your own, or with friends and family. Some people though take DIY too far. Everyone has seen those "5 Minute Craft" videos that begin with something intriguing and end up making the most useless piece of junk ever seen. Beyond small crafts like these, there are also bigger botched DIY projects. For instance, home renovations and improvements should probably (definitely) be left to the professionals.
