DIY projects can be fun and creative, or they can be frustrating and hard. People take on DIY projects for plenty of reasons. Some people like to avoid professionals and save money by doing something themselves. Some people like to boost their confidence by proving they can do things by themselves. Other folks like the challenge of doing and learning something on their own, or to add character to their homes.

There are different difficulties of crafts, though. Professionals exist because not every laborious project can be learnt online, which is why there are schools. People who try to do things without the proper training could end up with an embarrassing DIY failure. DIY fails are tacky, and a waste of time and money. They leave people with something they didn't even want.

It is funny, though, to see how badly some people mess up the projects they take on. People like to share their odd creations or DIY finds online, and here we have collected 25 of them for everyone to see. Take these as a warning to maybe not try it at home.
