Do It Yourself projects allow people to reuse items lying around the house to create something cool instead of throwing them away. However, just because you can DIY anything, it doesn't mean you should. A subreddit with a pretty self-explanatory title (DiWHY) is collecting the worst DIY fails, and they are so dreadfully awful, you might feel like Leonardo Da Vinci after checking these bad ideas out.

Basically, these DIY ideas belong to one of the two groups: a) a DIY project is so bad, it shouldn't exist, to begin with; b) the execution turned out horribly wrong. From leaving a print of your baby's bottom on a bowl to preserving childhood toys like failed biological experiments, some people should really consult others about their latest DIY crafts. Scroll down to review the epic fails and upvote your favorites!

I think I'll reserve judgment until I see what it looks like from the front. ;D

That is actually a good idea because a van is a strong structure and is waterproof.

...partially obscuring the REAL birch trees just outside... (But I think the actual painting looks nice and makes the room cozier.)

Daniel Losinger is right -- it is fake, but it does point out the need for somebody to come up with edible hot glue. Think of the possibilities!

Seeing that your family is very proud of it, maybe you best keep it.
