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

At first, I saw the description and thought it was just a funny name for a kind of rose. Then I scrolled down and went to look for the nearest object to jab out my eyes.

There was a show made by the great Takashi Miike called "MPD-Psycho" in which they found murder victims buried upright in the soil with plants planted in the exposed brains, this is awesomely similar :P

It reminds me of the Harry potter Herbology class, when they are planting mandrakes (re-potting into bigger pots).

This looks like it should be a modern art installment in a museum somewhere. "A commentary on modern society and current attitudes on raising children that are aware and harmonious with nature..."

That's actually kind of cool in a creepy kind of way. Like, good quality horror movie/game cool, one scaring you with atmosphere rather than screamers. But I'm not sure I'd want to see those daily.

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!
