Who doesn’t love a good DIY? Whether it’s some papier-mâché, a bit of woodworking, or even a full home makeover if you’re feeling ambitious, it’s always fun to roll up your sleeves and create something with your own hands.

But just because the process is enjoyable and rewarding doesn’t always mean the final result will live up to the vision in your head. And if those creations ever find their way online, they might also end up featured in the Facebook group “That’s It, I’m Craft Shaming!”

As the name suggests, this corner of the internet doesn’t hand out pity—it puts failed craft projects on full blast. Harsh? Maybe. Entertaining? Definitely. Scroll down to see some truly disastrous DIYs and decide for yourself which ones deserve the most shaming.

    That's not a fail! That's clever. (Except maybe the grommets -- I don't see the point of those.)
