The DIY movement is super popular these days and it’s no wonder! People just don’t have money to burn, so they look for ways to make things for themselves whenever possible. In addition to that, people are much more conscious about the amount of stuff that goes to waste.

Besides, who doesn’t love a good DIY project? It gives you the chance to be creative and express yourself. Of course, some of us are better at that than others. For those of us without an artistic side, DIY projects don’t always turn out exactly the way we’d like.

Sure, they might not look professional, but that doesn’t mean they don’t look decent! But then there are the people who can’t manage either. These individuals are so bad at DIY projects that they should lose the privilege of ever making their own stuff.

Unfortunately, we can’t block everyone’s access to craft supplies. So, these people will just keep making terrible DIY stuff. And in many cases, they’ll keep listing them online and even trying to sell their creations. And when they do, we’re going to laugh at them. It’s just what we do.

1. This way to make a car accident even more painful

That dashboard isn’t a place to put knick-knacks, and it’s definitely not the place to put cacti. That is a fast way to turn a fender bender into a devastating accident.

2. When you want your car to say “nursing home”

Forget the leather seats — do you want a car that looks like your grandma designed it? That’s what this person was going for with their weird ruffle car.

3. Even the baby is like, “GUYS”

Yes, baby butts are adorable and we all know it. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’ gross to eat out of a bowl that a butt has touched. Just stop.

4. Well, that’s terrifying

I don’t know what the best way is to preserve childhood memories, but I can tell you the worst one is. It’s this. This is terrible.

5. The wrong way to upcycle

These days, people are all about reducing waste, which makes upcycling a great way to do that! But oh, my word, this is a terrible idea. This is so, so, SO gross.

6. Thanks, I hate it

This chair made out of jeans has a very human centipede vibe about it. It’s incredibly disturbing and I don’t want to sit on it — I’m afraid it’ll eat me.

7. The fastest way to make your neighbors call the cops

Can you imagine glancing over your neighbor’s fence and realizing they have planters full of doll heads? It might not make you call anyone right away, but you’re definitely going to be a little less friendly from here on out.

8. You’re going to die

I don’t even know what to say about this one. There’s literally nothing to justify gluing a bunch of rocks to something that’s designed to deploy at 220 miles an hour.

9. Not the right way to do wood paneling…

Wood paneling was all the rage a few decades ago, and even at its best, it didn’t look good. DIY wood paneling, to everyone’s shock, looks even worse.

10. Hope you don’t have any overnight guests

Can you imagine staying at someone’s house as an overnight guest and having this terrifying bedspread in your room? On the other hand, maybe it’s a good way to discourage people from overstaying their welcome.

11. Every chair should have pockets

Denim is a tough, versatile fabric, but say it with me: it’s not for furniture. Especially not if it comes complete with buttons and bedazzlements, which must be incredibly uncomfortable!

12. This is a terrible idea

This person could write a book on how to take a creepy doll and make it even creepier. This thing needs to be burned before it gives us all nightmares.

13. How to turn your hat into a useless hat

It’s important to wear a hat when you’re out in the sun. But a hat without any actual head protection doesn’t count, no matter how cool you think it looks.

14. Hello, is your table running?

Okay, well, that joke doesn’t work, but it doesn’t need to — this table is a joke unto itself. It doesn’t look good, and in fact, it’s making me pretty uncomfortable.

15. Um

I guess this person thought this was a great idea in a wacky, colorful way. The reality is that it’s just kind of awkward — not to mention it’s made of fabric, which means it’s a horrible planter.

16. They’re beautiful

I’ll never knock a clever DIY project, because as they say, “It’s not stupid if it works.” There’s nothing about this that works, so I’m going to say..it’s pretty stupid.

17. Why would you do this?

It’s not that hard to DIY your own candle holders or even just repurpose an old container for them. But this person stumbled on a fantastically bad idea.

18. Why would anyone throw this away?

What a beautiful homemade lamp! I can’t imagine why anyone would want to throw this away. That is art and it’s meant to be on display.

19. Were there any takers?

Is upcycling three doors into chairs the worst DIY job we’ve ever seen? Not by a long shot. But it’s also not good enough to earn you any money on Facebook Marketplace.

20. They must have spent a whole $15 on this

Many people have argued for getting rid of pennies, especially since Canada did so a few years ago. To be honest, if they’re worthless enough that you can cover a whole car in them, maybe it’s time to cycle them out.

21. What were they going for?

I have a lot of questions about what this person was trying to do, but unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll get any answers. The biggest thing I want to know is — how uncomfortable is that?

22. That isn’t what we meant

This person lived in what was presumably a furnished apartment and asked their landlord for a bigger table. The landlord gave them this, which, to be fair, is technically a bigger table.

23. Everyone needs ankle pockets

Women have pushed to get better pockets on their pants for a long time. But this isn’t what we meant — we want pockets on our pants, not pants on our feet.

24. Just buy a wine glass

The number of DIY projects that involve mutilating dolls is honestly terrifying. In what way is this easier than just buying a wine glass?

25. I’ll give you $0

This person honestly and truly thought they could sell a stuffed beer butt for $250. I sincerely hope that no one took them up on the offer.

26. No lowballing

Then there’s this person, who devoted almost a decade and a half to making a large lump of wax, which they now want to sell for $800. My question is, how many candles do they burn?

27. I’m at a loss for words

Who needs to buy shoes when you can make these hideous, uncomfortable ones out of random household objects? This is how we break the shoe industry.

28. Stop chopping dolls up!

Seriously, what’s wrong with all of these people? Dolls aren’t supposed to be cut up for your DIY projects! Why would anyone want a baby hand coming out of their head?

29. This is the worst table ever

This is either a table or an ironing board, but either way, it’s a bad one. It’s not level and it seems to be made from an old bicycle. I’m not sure why someone devoted time and energy to this monstrosity.

30. Well, this is…not good

In general, cases are meant to protect a phone from outside damage. This DIY version not only looks bizarre but it also offers 0 percent protection from anything.

31. Um, why?

Upcycling is pretty cool, but it only goes so far. For example, if you’re crocheting hats with bits of cardboard from a soda box, you might need to stop.

32. Well, that’s disgusting

In general, you shouldn’t be using your own hair to make anything. It’s unsanitary and weird, and it just doesn’t look good. On the other hand, it’s a good way to ward off potential friends.

33. This seems harder than just buying a doormat

This DIY doormat looks like it was a struggle to make. Unfortunately, it also looks awkward and uncomfortable. Why did she choose rocks as her material?

34. Well, that’s ugly AND dangerous

Please don’t ever DIY any lighting fixtures. It’s a great way to set yourself up for electrocution. There’s also the slight detail that this looks really, really ugly.

35. You could just throw $800 in the garbage

I’m going to make a guess and say this person didn’t find a buyer for their $800 bobcat skull. If their family’s so proud of their “art,” why don’t they just keep it for themselves?

36. For the most disgusting person in your life

Some people shouldn’t try to do art, especially when it involves literal pieces of themselves. This disgusting toenail art takes the cake for “worst art ever.”

37. I don’t know what to say…looks great

Apparently, there’s more than one person who’s tried to DIY the wood paneling for their car. I’m not sure if this one looks just as bad or even worse.

38. That looks painful

Crystals are just rocks, but some people think they’re magical. Regardless, they don’t feel good when you walk on them. They just don’t.

39. Home renovation isn’t for everyone

This person tried to design a shower, and it’s a beauty! Doesn’t it look like it came straight from a showroom? They clearly have a career ahead of them.

40. After Barbie’s accident…

Here’s something you never wanted or needed: A Barbie Swiss army knife! What better way to communicate that you’re pretty but will also cut people?

41. This, apparently, is a centerpiece

This bizarre “centerpiece” seems like it’s trying to send a message, but I honestly couldn’t tell you what that message is. All I know is that’s a beer can with some rocks in it.

42. How to ruin sunflowers

Do you know someone who loves sunflowers? Do you want to ruin sunflowers for them forever? Well then, buy these awful skull sunflower things to terrify them for the rest of their lives.

43. Oh, my word

Even if you love puns more than anyone should, you can’t pretend this one is worth it. Yes, we get it, it’s a mouse for your mouse, but it’s also DISGUSTING.

44. They want $120

Talk about extreme upcycling. This person decided that a satellite dish would make a great chair. I don’t know about that, but it’s definitely a statement piece.

45. How to make Furbies even creepier

All of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s remember being terrified out of our minds by Furbies, especially since they seemed to have minds of their own. If you have an old one and want to make it even weirder, let me introduce you to the Furbipede.

46. …no thank you?

I’ve always wanted a mummified cat slam dunking a mummified bird into a basketball hoop, and it just so happens that I have $800 that I wanted to toss in the trash. This is a dream come true.

47. We heard you like chairs…

..so, we made you a chair out of chairs. That way, you can sit on chairs while you sit in a chair. Was this the result of an afternoon of boredom?

48. Look, it’s the world’s least comfortable couch

When you’re upholstering a couch, you want to choose a fabric that’s soft and comfortable. Usually, this means fabric that isn’t covered in buttons and belt loops.

49. Classy

I can’t imagine a situation in which I would ever want to make a shirt out of condoms, much less one in which I would go out in public wearing. I have so many questions and I want answers to none of them.

50. How to blind everyone in traffic

Technology has updated and CDs are now largely obsolete. But don’t worry — you can reuse all your old CDs and cause traffic accidents from the sheer brightness of your car!
