These 10 Pictures Are Exactly Why You Shouldn't Take Matters Into Your Own Hands

We've all dabbled in DIY projects, whether it's for a school project or a personal one. It can be fun to get your hands dirty and make something on your own. If you're in luck, your DIY project will end up much better than you'd hoped (which is a rare occurrence), and you can pat yourself on the back for making something worthwhile.
