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!

Airbag Accessories
I would say rather: cactus (as well as earth, stones and other stuff) thrown against the face because of the explosion of the airbag (see inscription below, on the glove box).

Either that, or incredibly confident on its driving skills.

Lol what is actually happening in that pic?! Did the guy try and hide from the cops in a cactus patch?!

This one is definitely the worst because it could seriously injure you
Congratulations, you've just turned your airbag into a cactus-filled Claymore.
Airbag used. Reincarnated as an cactus. Be careful, karma is quick.
Yay...... He's turned his dashboard into a claymore mine for his passenger.
It's not photoshopped. Look closer, it's the plastic tarp the OP most liked laid underneath so the dirt doesn't go into the crevices.

I'd have to admi that it looks sorta cute. but I know this is terrible idea...
Imagine if you can, a collection of dirt, small rocks and cactus coming at you at 200 miles per hour.
I actually loveeee this, but it would be reallly bad in a car crash omo
I have that same car Peugeot 206 but I don't think I would add cactus in it :p

This is one of those posts where you don't know whether to vote up or down for it being so bad.
That would explain why they put that in the title.

So do we up vote the ones we actually like or the ones we feel belong in that category? o.O
Note to self; "If a post is hidden, it's hidden for a reason. For your own sanity DO NOT CLICK ON IT ANYWAY!!!!!"
On the positive side, I like this entire collection because it shows me people are still out using their brains, being creative, no-matter how bizarre and are willing to put it out there for us to see. It sure beats beating fake people and animals up on a screen all day. This shows at least some people are still trying to recycle and use their brains. Good Work to All who contributed .
Such a lot of 'cute, but pointless'! Great ideas for 'What not to do'! ;-)
Some people have to much time on their hands. And just WHY?????
