26 Wild DIY Projects That Prove You Shouldn't Always 'Do It Yourself'

DIY fails are a humorous reminder of why people typically choose to buy products or hire professionals instead of making them themselves. There's a reason so many are shopping through stores, both in person and on our computers, because they'd rather not spend countless hours of their lives DIYing something pointless.

At the same time, people are also DIYing pointless things because they're actually not available in stores, which is also not a good sign that they're worth your time. Like terrible car mods, for example, which probably aren't even legal to drive and are definitely stupid-looking anyway.

Fortunately, even when these things might truly be a public safety hazard or waste of time and effort, they can be pretty funny for the rest of us to observe and "appreciate" from afar. It seems like everyone's creativity is just getting worse in the DIYing world. From weird truck paintings to household objects that serve no purpose, we don't know why you'd put the effort into creating these. Here are some of our favorite funny DIY fails.
