Not everything should be DIYed. There are some things that are pretty safe to attempt to do at home, like making some harmless decorations for the house, or even making some funky fashion pieces. There are some pretty creative people out there who have some fun ideas to bring to life, which is great for them.

Sure, there are some simple things that can be done quickly, but even painting isn't as easy as it seems. When it comes to technical stuff like messing with plumbing, cars, or power, well, that's just scary.
