For a while there, DIY projects were the thing to do. Everyone was trying to DIY everything in their lives. From home improvements to fashion items, DIY was the way to go. It can be good for some things. It can save money and add a touch of personality to life. Some projects, though, truly should be left up to the professionals. Sometimes a project is just too big to take on by yourself, but some ambitious individuals will try anyway. Because of the range of different DIY projects, some fails are worse than others, but as a whole, DIY fails are hilariously bad.

Reddit's /r/DiWHY is a subreddit that features all of the worst DIY projects completed. These have been found in real life, online and in marketplaces, for some reason. From shoes that should never leave the house to home improvements that are sure to cause some issues. Some people will try anything once, but these 25 DIY projects should never be repeated again.
