27 Examples Of DIY Crimes That Should Not Have Happened

What's not to love about DIY projects? The feeling of making something with your own hands brings the sense of accomplishment, and oftentimes choosing to do things yourself can save you a lot of money. Even better, you can complete a project together with your friends or family and spend some quality time together! There's a small caveat, however: you have to have some idea you're doing, or at the very least have someone nearby who will keep things in check.
