35 Hilarious DIY Fails From Lunatics Who Put The ‘Why’ In DIY

I love a good DIY project. If I know what I’m doing, I’ll happily spend a weekend fixing something around the house and feeling like a capable adult.

But I’ve also learned an important lesson over the years: just because you can attempt something doesn’t mean you absolutely should.

Some projects require skill, patience, and maybe even a professional license. The DIY fails in this post clearly ignored that memo.

These are the kinds of chaotic creations that make you tilt your head and ask, “What was the plan here?”

Sometimes the smartest home improvement decision is knowing when to put the tools down and step away.
