20 Terrible Examples Of DIY Projects

As long as the internet has been around, passion projects and DIY creations have always been a staple. With websites like Pinterest and Etsy made specifically to celebrate and show off people's wonderful creations, people's creativity truly knows no bounds. Most DIY aficionados indulge in cutesy projects, and whether it's a crochet hat or a mega cosplay, most of them turn out pretty great, and we can all marvel at the excellent piece of art that was created.

Each post on this subreddit is a testament to human ingenuity gone wrong. Whether it's a makeshift ceiling lamp or a table, sometimes taking things into your own hands can have incredibly dangerous results. But if there's one thing that they could have possibly learned from their questionable creations, it's that maybe it's best to let the experts do their thing.
