Not everything needs to be a DIY project, and many things definitely should never be done by oneself. DIY projects can be fun when they are harmless and not really for anything critical it can be a way to put your handyman skills to the test and waste some time.

Sometimes, but not always, these DIY projects turn out great abd save a buck or two, allowing you to have something with your own personal twist to it. Many times, however, DIY projects do not go as planned though.

From time to time, a DIY fail occurs and it creates something super questionable. Usually, it is still something pretty harmless, but kind of ugly, and sometimes it is something that should be burned immediately and never used, like home improvement moments or vehicle repairs.

Some people just take things way too far. Reddit's /r/DiWHY is the subreddit that features a lot of these DIY fails. From projects gone wrong to projects gone "Why?" to moments of pure stupidity, here are 25 DIY projects no one should recreate.
