A DIY project can be a fun craft to take on. Maybe you have a weekend to spare and an idea in mind, and you want to put your crafting skills to the test. Making something from scratch, and then being proud of the end result is a pretty big achievement, but it doesn't always end out that way. Some projects are better left to the professionals, otherwise, you will end up with a terrible DIY fail. A DIY fail is a DIY project that either went wrong, came out tacky, or just was never a good idea in the first place.

Though taste is subjective, some of these things truly should not have been thought of, let alone attempted and made. Regardless, people have decided to share their crafts with the world, and many of them have ended up on Reddit's /r/DiWHY. This subreddit is for all the DIY endeavors that you just have to shake your head and wonder at. Here are 25 of them that certainly no one will be recreating any time soon.
