The internet gives arts and crafts enthusiasts unrealistic confidence in their final products. Buying things from the store is completely out of fashion, causing several overconfident people to try and build their own stuff.
So many things can be done at home… or so you would think. The sad truth is not everyone has the ability to successfully create and finish their own projects. These homemade tasks are called “DIY”, or “do it yourself”, emboldening participants to follow specific instructions and fulfill their creativity. Instead, it often goes more wrong than right.
Things don’t always go as planned, as seen in these Top DIY Projects Gone Horribly Wrong.
Building Block Door
The door was cut in a zig-zag down to the side, creating a wooden puzzle piece, causing a susceptible spot for visitors to bang their head on the threshold when entering the room.
Where’s The TP?
If you enter this bathroom, definitely take a look before you squat, or you’ll have to reach pretty far.
Green House
Apparently, 41% of our country considers themselves environmentalists. For those keeping the tally at home, that’s four out of 10 people. Green enthusiasts often put plenty of natural decor on their properties, including planting trees. A property owner took tree-hugging to a completely different level, getting rid of half their driveway to accommodate a tree.
Either the car has to drive over the lawn to get inside or the garage is being used for storage.
Hopefully, there’s plenty of curbside space in the street. Either way, that tree doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, but neither is the driver.
Heating Up
Hot tubs are an easy way to relax at the end of a long day. Because of their exorbitant prices, not everyone can afford the luxury. Here’s one way to do it: bring your bathtub outside and slow roast over a fire like you’re boiling a lobster for dinner. The bonfire tub is balanced on top of the wood that’s stoking the flames beneath. Bring your friends and family over as spotters, to make sure you don’t meet your demise by roasting
Scholarly Sweet Tooth
This DIY baking project shows a video of how to make graduation cookies; the final result is a girl in a cap and gown holding her diploma. Instead, the creator made an educational ghost — a floating blue mass absent of head and hands. Patience with the frosting went out the window, forcing the different colors across the finished cookie.
As long as it tastes good, I’m sure the person eating these won’t mind.
Pancake Nightmare
The aspiring chef took their results to a completely different level, creating a nightmare surrealist art more appropriate for a Halloween brunch. The shape is completely off, creating a predator blob that will scare your children around the breakfast table.
Keep this person away from hot surfaces, and wild animals.
Art In The Eye Of The Beholder
A replica of a crayon canvas looks easy enough. However, this wannabe creative looks like they got busy with work, and assigned the task to their toddler. Instead of gluing the crayons, the frustrated child aggressively duct taped each Crayola to the board, before angrily banging the colors with their small balled fists.
It looks like the cost of clean-up could have afforded a nice piece for the living room. There’s probably an art critic out there that thinks this is a stroke of masterful genius.
Collector’s Nightmare
However, this collector created a storage display by squeezing each stuffed animal in a glass jar. These would look pretty neat in a normal setting, but these critters are pickled in their confinement — a sighting that would give any child missing their teddy bear nightmares, even through to adulthood.
