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!

Preserving Those Childhood Memories
Good lord in heaven... I'm gonna go cry in fear now, this looks like it should be in a horror movie!
Omg thank you... I just laughed so hard, milk came out my nose.

You could just... put them in a cabinet and not potentially rip the material by forcing them into glass jars like some mad scientist.
ok this is just creepy. do you want your children to have nightmares?
Yes- is there liquid inside the jars?? This is so wrong.

When I visited an art exhibit in London, Ontario, there was an entire exhibit of this. It was just weird. The 'artist' also put stuffed animals in a cage. When we got to close to it, the security guard said not to touch the art. The same gallery also had spray painted molds of road kill and stuffed animals with different heads sewed on. Not exactly representing Canada's finest, lol
that is kinda smart..air and dust will ruin your stuff toys..until..you put it on water/vinegar/formalin..lol
OMG! All I can think is:" Silence of The Lambs-The Stuffed Animal Edition"!!! LOL
*sees image* oh wow that looks so cool i should do it too *reads comments* .. should i get checked up
houor movie vibes. Of a lady who kills children and keeps their stuffies
This is actually the artwork "Animal preserve" by the Canadian artist Iain Baxter&
I'm afraid to ask. What I can draw from this picture is this mom probably makes great pickles.
looks an awfully lot like art, ...in reminiscence of Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst...
That's disgusting! Do you serve pickles with them? Creepy is right! I'm not sleeping tonight! Thanks a lot!
you could just buy replicates, and put them in a closet! or put the originals in the closet and then bring them back
Where are the children that had those stuffed animals? On another shelf? Creepy!
This is like Silence of the Lambs weird...check their basement for a well and lotion in a bucket STAT.
This is like Silence of the Lambs weird...check their basement for a well and lotion in a bucket STAT. PUT THE EFFING STUFFY IN THE BOTTLE OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!!
SOMEBODY CALL THE TEDDY BEAR ABUSE HOTLINE :( These bears deserve laps, not traps!
I'm never gonna see kurmet (not sure if spelled right?) the same now
That's just wrong. Worse than Stannis' wife, on "Game of Thrones" keeping the fetuses of her stillborn sons in jars. That's just fiction but this is horrifyingly real.
Plz let some FBI officers check the basement... will surprise u... haha
And, Pray Tell, What unfathomable liquid are they preserving these poor 'specimens' in?
i would totally do that but without the water. Maybe one of those sweet Double Sided Glitter Cups Would be better.
...If the toys had been played with to any extent,putting them into water(?) will over time draw out the detritus and give you a toy soup.!
And then the kid grows up to pickle "preserve" actual people and animals!😨😨😨
Love this! I'm already collecting jars for next Halloween's display. An extra large pickle jar with old doll heads figures prominently. Check out the inspiration at: http://thenavagepatch.com/halloween-apothecary-jars/

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?????
