DIYs To Make Your Creative Side Cringe
When it comes to DIY projects, some people are more skilled than others. Pinterest and Instagram are filled with videos and articles about how to turn every item in your house into something else, but that doesn't mean it's for everyone.
There are plenty of people who want to be creative, but they just don't have the right mindset, and instead, they end up creating something concerning rather than something they want to show off to their friends.
It Gets The Job Done
Thanks to the extra insulation around that window, you may even end up having a warmer car than you did before, it just looks a little bumpy to everyone driving by.
At Least You Didn't Pay For This
If you had paid a professional to do this tile job, you would've been asking for your money back, but since you did it yourself, you can take pride in knowing you were right not to quit your day job.
It's Time To Buy A Bedside Table
Not only is your alarm clock now displaying the time upside down, but it's also at risk of falling and hitting you in the head while you're sleeping. Seems like a flawed plan.
Every Dentist's Dream Car
How would a garage even go about fixing a car that has this many things glued to it? You can't even get at the parts that need to be fixed without being stabbed by a toothbrush.
Our Mood Is Concerned
This is one of those projects that this person definitely convinced themselves would add value to their house or make it unique, but they were sorely mistaken. No one asked for this.
A Vehicular Centipede
It looks like someone was trying to take a panoramic photo while the vehicle was still moving, but sadly, someone thought it would be a good idea to create a limousine out of minivans.
It Fits On Top Of Your Lap
If it can fit on top of your lap, it counts as a laptop, right? It took some serious MacGyvering, but your daughter asked for a new computer for her birthday, and that's what she got!
They're Definitely A One-Use Product
In what world was this project a necessity in anyone's home? None of those are even replaceable blades, so that means you took them off the regular handles and chose to put them on forks.
Riding In Style
Your wife made you get rid of the motorcycle after your child was born, but you can't take the biker dude out of the man. You can still feel the wind in your hair if you peddle fast enough.
There's A Difference Between "Can" And "Should"
Just because you have the ability to buy fake teeth as often as you want and glue them to your belongings does not, under any circumstances, mean that this is something you should do.
Don't Park Too Close To This One
Just because it technically works or gets the job done does not mean that it should be the actual solution you go with. When it comes to foundational or building elements, you should aim for perfection, not the easiest way out.
We'll Be Fine Standing
It's a chair! It's a stool! No, it's just a hazard. These plastic chairs were already unstable to begin with, and now you want to add modifications to it? Absolutely not.
This Is Not Music To Our Ears Or Our Eyes
What a waste of a guitar. Even if it was broken in the first place, you could've fixed it or done something with it. This wouldn't even be comfortable to sit on...
This Can't Be The Permanent Solution
As far as solutions go, this one gets the job done, but it doesn't mean that you have to be happy about driving around with your daughter's pink mirror attached to your car.
No Other Child Will Have The Same Pencil Case
Back-to-school shopping is always an expensive time of year for parents when their kids want all new products, but you can save yourself some money by using what you've got around the house—or in your backyard.
You Can Only Replace It So Many Times
There are only so many times that your husband is going to be willing to replace the mailbox before you end up with this kind of creation at the end of your driveway.
If You Can See The Cups, You're Too Close
From a distance, it looks like a semi-regular tail light. Once someone gets too close, though, they're quickly going to realize what you've done. The fact you couldn't signal that you were turning left might also give it away.
How Badly Did You Need Cuff Links?
Rather than locking yourself into a shirt using nuts and bolts, you could've simply switched to a different shirt for the day. There's pretty much no way for you to argue that this was necessary.
We're On The Fence About This One
Of all of the ways that you were expecting your husband to fix the hole in your backyard fence, did you ever imagine that it would include part of the old family minivan?
Liven Up Your Living Room
Moss may be soft to sit on when you're taking a break on a hike, but that doesn't mean that you want to sit on it all the time, or in your own house.
That'll Keep It Contained, For Sure
First of all, why are you even building a planter around a tree that's already planted and isn't going to fall over? Also, why would you not take away the first one that failed?
Clear Tape Might Have Been The Better Choice
You have to do whatever you can when it comes to essential items like a car windshield, but usually, what you would do is take it to the auto shop. Covering your line of sight with duct tape isn't the best option.
Sturdier Than Any Other Brand
Yes, it's annoying that flip flops are the flimsiest shoes ever, but carving yourself a pair out of metal is not going to be any better. You're just replacing one problem with another.
Impressive But Painful
As far as the craftsmanship of the pillow goes, it's impressive that someone would be able to carve such a realistic-looking pillow out of wood. In terms of spontaneous pillow fights or trying to sleep, this wouldn't be such a good idea.
Does This Reduce Their Carbon Footprint?
When the mechanic told you that you would have to pay someone to fill the dent in your car, they weren't implying that you could do it yourself with a simple succulent.
The Wall Mount Was Too Expensive
If you're going to spend the money on a 75" flat screen, you have to be prepared to spend the money on a proper mount for it, or you're stuck using cardboard boxes.
Is That Mouthwash Or Windex?
The correct answer is probably that this person thought it would be quirky to put soap into an old Jack Daniel's bottle. More importantly, though, they thought it would be fun to waste a perfectly good GameCube.
Don't Even Think About Dunking
Someone who wants to be good at a sport will do just about anything they can to play or practice, but if it gets to the point where you need a chair to be your basketball hoop, maybe you should switch to soccer.
The Glue Gives It A Unique Flavor
Why waste your money buying a package of Peanut M&M's when you could instead waste a packet of regular M&M's, a jar of peanuts, and hot glue, as well as wasting your own time to create your own?
It Does More Than Just Baste
You can baste your chicken with barbecue sauce, paint an extra coat of paint onto the patio furniture, and then use the tool to stir the can without ever having to switch tools.

This Doesn't Make Us Feel Welcome
We get that you want to be unique and have some memorable items of decor in your house, but gluing rocks to a rubber mat to use as a welcome mat at your front door is not the route to take.
This Is Definitely A Fire Hazard
Absolutely nobody needs a candle this large, and you can't convince us otherwise. This is also a fire hazard for sure, and not worth the $800 that this guy is asking for.
The Perfect Shoe Material
It's always such a nice feeling when your jeans drag on the ground or flap around your ankles when you walk, so why wouldn't you want that permanently thanks to these denim... shoes? Sandals? Boots?
Traumatize Your Children Forever
There are better ways to keep your childhood stuffed animals than putting them in glass jars for preservation. Do what every other person does and leave them on a shelf or in a box somewhere.
This Car Deserved Better
You could have put all those pennies towards buying yourself a new car or at least paying to paint the car a color that you liked more than the boring silver.
An Expensive Plant Pot
Of all of the items that you probably have in your house that could be used as an outdoor plant holder, this is the item you choose to put on display?
Use What You've Got
When furnishing your first apartment, you might not have the money to afford all the nice furniture you want so you could be tempted to DIY or repurpose something. Think twice before you choose to turn pants into a table.
Make A Car Accident Hurt More
Nothing about decorating the airbag in your car seems like a good idea, let alone decorating it with spiky plants that would do even more damage if the airbag actually went off.
The Door To Nowhere
The cringey part of this particular DIY project is that the door itself is really nice, but the placement is not. Thanks to the handle on the glass door you can't even slide the barn door, so what's the point?
