50 DIY Fails That Are So Terrible It’s Impossible Not To Laugh At
Buying stuff is so last year, thus more and more people turn to DIY projects for anything and everything they can. And with the help of the internet, many DIY craft tutorials are only a couple of clicks away - from holiday decorations and toys to clothes and makeup, all of that and so much more can be done at home. Or so they say at least.
With so many Do It Yourself tutorials flooding the Internet lately, you'd think people would have the hang of this DIY craft thing by now. They don't. They're still delivering some pretty epic fails, and it's still hilarious. We get that directions to even the easiest DIY are sometimes hard to follow. It's totally true that things rarely look the same as on the screen. Come on, though. Did these people even try?
Have a look, and a laugh, at some of the worst Pinterest fails we could find below. If your DIY project didn't go as planned either, add it to our list below, because there's no shame in funny fails if you at least put in 50% effort.

There's actually a technique called watermarble where you drop the nail polish in water and it floats ... You swirl it and then you dip your fingers or toes in it ... And you get your nails painted all good ! Or like the second one 😂😂😂

Th.....They ...didn't even try.....they just smeared polish all over their toes, that's nowhere close to it
You really thought you could watermarble on your toes? -"yeah Why not?"
This one looks like the person just got so frustrated they gave up on keeping it neat
Do you understand that you have to tape everything but the nails so this won't happen, right?
Have you heard of drag marbling? Basically same(ish) effect but without water
Really, is the person is that r******d they can't keep the polish on their nails. A very deliberate stuff up.
no i think this is water marble where you pour nail polish on top of a cup of water and the swirl it around to get different patterns. then you dip your fingers/toes in it to get it on your nails, but you have to put something on your skin so that you can remove the excess nail polish. clearly you don't know what you are talking about.

Some are the result of not reading the instructions, or thinking it through carefully enough. And lot of these are comparing first attempts to more experienced crafters' results. Key word, EXPERIENCE.

Anybody else here looking for " American Woman Living In Japan Shows 19 Things In Her House That Just Make Sense"?
Everything posted there is a result of either not following directions, or lack of skill. Many of the things really just take practice to do. Learning to cut glass is a skill. Making impressions in clay is a skill. Not using enough material as shown in the example is just dumb.
The perfect examples are made through a lot of stuff what we see on the fail images. Talent is a thing, exertising is another.
We get that directions are sometimes hard to follow. It’s totally true that things rarely look the same as on the screen. Come on, though. Did these ? https://lmovers.ae/نقل-اثاث-دبي-2/
HA HA HA. These people didn't even TRY. I mean...really?!?!? At least use the right products. SMH
in most cases people decided to just completely ignore the instructions and post the thing in the internet ... others are just fatal cases of bad taste :D
thanks for sharing, these were great, i feel better about myself now!
I really like this kind of article I somehow feel happy that other people fail also
Most of these are the result of not reading and following instructions!!! Pure stupidity!!!
if at first you don't succeed destroy all evidence that you tried Or follow the instructions as you are ment to !!
The thing to remember with trying something new: the first time you attempt anything, consider it practice. Almost no one will get it right the first time. You need experience to master any new craft. Laugh at mistakes, but be easy on yourself. And, don't forget to read and then follow directions.
