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!

Remember the name Harrison, everyone because I predict we'll be reading a news story about him in about fifteen years that includes the terms "both parents dead", "lifelong humiliation", "a*s bowl" and "killing spree".

Well, I'm sure his Mama loves it but this poor boy, OH the embarrassment he'll suffer, his entire life that bowl/reminder exists! I can see it now "Mom, I'm so sorry! I was just taking it down, to look @ it & I don't know how but, it slipped out of my hands & smashed into a million pieces"!!! LOL,LOL,LOL

I wonder if they will do it every year till 21? How do they know when to stop, this could go dangerous at some stage. You might need bouncers to hold the kid down after a certain age.

omg love this idea.....I hope with ever fibre of my being that Harrison continues this tradition every year - each Christmas presenting his loving parents with increasingly bigger bowls, imprinted with increasingly bigger and hairier a*s prints.

That's so weird 😂 Would it not have been nicer (and a little less weird) to have done the imprint of Harrison and his mum's bump while he was still being cooked? Still cute, but a bit less embarrassing haha.

...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!
