Weโve all thought of a bad idea before and still end up doing it. Of course, the next thing that comes is a feeling of deep regret. However, donโt feel bad because all over the world, there are a lot of people with more horrible ideas than yours.
If you donโt believe me, then feel free to scroll down to see all the 60 unexplainably horrible DIY projects that you would probably regret attempting afterward.
1. It works so why not?
Instead of replacing the leaky part of the gutter, this personโs dad just attached another tube and connected it to somewhere it wonโt leak. Even though it works well, there are far better practical options than doing this.

2. Rough toilet
This person probably loves sitting on rough textures such as stones. Or maybe this is just his way of bringing nature inside the house. But isnโt this too much nature in it?

3. Why not all the way?
Someone would most likely buy this if the wood used are new. It could also be sold cheaper using recycled ones. So why use both and ruin the whole thing? Donโt even get me started on the design.

4. No one could sit here
Sitting here is one hell of a ride already. It always swings and probably super uncomfortable as well. For those who are easily seasick, I donโt recommend sitting on this park bench.

5. Itโs good for a prank
This is something youโll give to an annoying neighbor you hate. If you are planning to buy this because of the thermometer, then you have problems. Why would you want a floating turd in your pool?

reddit/InkIcan
6. Itโs cool and all butโฆ
This is pretty well done for a makeover. You could even say how this was made was already perfect. The only thing is this man never considered the materials used. In the following years, youโll be left with a wooden box and no more.

7. A new tire
This tire looks brand new but somehow they decided to repurpose it as a garden dรฉcor. It looks fancy and all, but the tire could have been used. They are selling this for 20 euros while a tire normally costs more than that.

reddit/pinkwisp
8. Waste of cutleries
I agree that you can make a clock out of anything. However, isnโt it just a waste to use silverwares to decorate one? It doesnโt even look that good. They could have reserved these for their guests.

reddit/littleloversopolite
9. Eerie objects
If youโre wondering what these are, these are actually custom-made ashtrays. Itโs just plain creepy molding certain body parts to create these objects. I wouldnโt even stick my finger on this abomination.

reddit/oskbrrlz
10. Why not use it as a normal backpack?
We need at least more than two hands to hold all our essential things, and maybe thatโs why things like pouches and backpacks are invented. But why would you repurpose two bags just to make a pair of shorts? You have now bigger pockets, but itโs just bad and unfashionable all the way.

reddit/pissluver666
11. Because normal table legs arenโt enough
If your table looks bland, use a mannequinโs foot to replace each of your tableโs legs. That way, it wouldnโt look boring anymore. Instead, you are left with just a plain eyesore that no one would like to use.

reddit/science_vs_romance
12. And heโs selling these
This person must have a tower of confidence to be selling these flip-flop DI(why)โs. Itโs great if these are all recycled, but you can see that they still each have pairs and theyโre pretty usable still. Besides, who would want to hang a flip-flop wreath in their front doors?

reddit/Roseus12
13. Shiny car
This car looks ridiculously shiny and youโre about to know its secret. From afar, the car looks silvery. Once you look at it closely, youโll be disappointed knowing that the owner just covered his car with transparent duct tapes.
Source:
reddit/StrangeMagic83
14. For a quick getaway
If you have stomach problems in your kitchen and have to go to the toilet faster, then all you need is this. This guy managed to create a hidden toilet under the cabinets in his kitchen. That way, he could relieve himself after eating a bad taco or something.

reddit/djboom05
15. Killing her the second time
This person didnโt realize that he just killed his mom the second time of what he did to her flower. He sprays painted not the pot, but the plant above it. As it could no longer do photosynthesis, the plant is expected to die before summer ends.

reddit/ColourOfCanada
16. A real Viking helm
Someone attached real bull horns on a bikerโs helmet. It does now look like a real Viking helmet but it has one huge flaw. Wearing it would be too heavy on the head.
Source:
reddit/MrDanTheManMcdonald
17. Looks practical but not
Unless you want to grill while using mowing the lawn, this would be perfect for you. Even so, you donโt want grass flying around your steak, right? This is why attaching cheap roller wheels would be better than this.
Source:
reddit/thesecrickets
18. Elvis who?
This guy must have mistaken him for another Elvis because this doesnโt look anything like the king of rock and roll. He even has the guts to try and sell this abominable clay figure on the internet. No one would want this on their cabinets!
Source:
reddit/IHateOtherRedditors
19. Too much effort for questionable results
This restaurant hung a chandelier made up of empty oyster shells. Theyโre not even transparent and all they do is block most of the light. When it gets dark, lucky would be those who are sitting right above it.
Source:
reddit/UnwrittenPath
20. Ultimate gaming chair
For this guy, a gaming chair means a normal chair attached with LED light strips. He even posted this on a sales group, hoping someone would buy it. He could have used those lights for a better purpose.

reddit/dafemu
21. Because wearing a normal face shield is boring
This guy probably wanted to look fashionable wearing a face shield, so he decided to recycle several empty sachets and turn them into this hideous mess. Well, at least theyโre all recycled materials. He even got Jesus for extra protection.
Source:
reddit/aldwin_is_here
22. Flowery designs are bad for a toilet seat
At first glance you would think that this toilet seat is smeared with something you wouldnโt wish to sit at. Itโs quite a relief knowing that itโs just a sunflower decoration. Still, itโs enough to freak out anyone.
Source:
reddit/mayekat
23. Looks fun though
Someone thought of replacing a broken carโs engine with a tractor. As a result, it becomes a three-wheeled ATV-like vehicle with two free seats at the back. It really does look fun to drive although I wouldnโt take this outside the main road.
Source:
reddit/MissouriFred
24. Always ready for DnD
If you want to spot a DnD fanatic, always check what kind of shoes theyโre wearing. If by any chance youโll find someone with a pair of shoes like this, then you already know. He could roll a bunch of 20s and win the game by default.

reddit/Optho
25. Ruining something perfect
This desk and chair set are already perfect when they bought it. However, it seems they are still dissatisfied with what they saw. So, they did this horrible paint job to ruin it. I wonder if theyโre happy about it.
Source:
reddit/hereforyebeer
26. In case you got the scoots
If you want to relieve yourself in a restroom fun and interactive, then itโs time to turn yours into something like this. You could pretend driving on the open road as you provide it with unnecessary fuel. The reason why no one thought of this before because of how atrocious this idea is.
Source:
reddit/spfromkc
27. This lamp is not โgrateโ
Why would someone use a cheese grater to turn their light into a lamp? Isnโt it a bit cheesy doing something like this? If you want to cut costs to create a functional lamp, might as well find a cheap semi-transparent paper and it would still do a better job than this.
Source:
reddit/edertef
28. Where did he get those hooves?
This is beyond anyoneโs expectations. Iโd rather buy the stump alone and leave those deer hooves behind. Hopefully, those hooves arenโt real.
Source:
reddit/readersanon
29. What a huge mistake
This person needs more time for his shower thoughts because obviously, this is a bad idea. Making your showerโs floor a carpeted one is the last thing someone would do. I wonder how long it took for this person to realize he messed up badly?
Source:
reddit/KourtR
30. Converting to a convertible
Someone did a sinful job of converting this perfectly great Ford Taurus into a convertible. You could visibly see the rough edges and scratches after doing it. The main lesson here is, if you want a convertible, just buy a convertible.

reddit/Cavanikus
31. The perfect car door doesnโt exiโฆ
Some people just prefer turning knobs while opening something. Apparently, for this guy, this includes his own car. This is probably the reason why he installed a knob on his car door.
Source:
reddit/GgroverG
32. Cellophane tapeโs not enough
Obviously, itโs better to just fix a broken side mirror yourself than pay someone a couple of jobs to do the job for you. But this guy didnโt have to be so frugal as to fix it with a mere tape. It works until the adhesive wears up after a couple of hours.
Source:
reddit/Crashy35
33. Innovative
If you want a functional shower, then this is one way of getting one. Although, we all know that itโs much better to buy a cheap showerhead than make the effort for something like this. Glad to see that it works though.

reddit/Lvanwinkle18
34. Sitting on a lap
This chair is literally designed to look as if the person is sitting on a personโs lap. Aside from the design is bad, it just gives you the creeps. Most especially when the thought suddenly hits you that youโre somewhat sitting on a severed body.
Source:
reddit/GardenGnostic
35. No bird would nest here
Itโs great that someone thought of recycling old boots into something, but at least make it a bit presentable. Besides, we donโt know if the smellโs still there or not. Surely, thereโd be no bird that would welcome itself to nest on such a nasty boot.
Source:
reddit/programmer2514
36. Burns my eyes
Customizing tile decorations is okay, just as long as you know which is too much. Well, this is one is an example of being โtoo much.โ Although this person still managed to make it symmetrical, it still irritates me that there are too many tile patterns on one wall.

Imgur
37. Make your muscles look like corn cobs
Whoever thought that lifting solid corn weights is great, then I donโt know what to say. You could say that itโs functional and obviously does its job well as weights. However, itโs not like you want to be seen lifting metal corn to build your muscles, right?

38. Way to destroy something people mostly use
A lot of women love to make themselves look pretty and presentable by wearing fake eyelashes. However, someone did the most horrific thing by creating fake eyelashes out of cockroach legs. Now, you canโt look at eyelashes the same way anymore.

reddit/OutlierForLife
39. Protect the rice!
Someoneโs so strict about avoiding others from stealing his rice. It got to the point where this person had to install a hinge lock on his rice cooker. Still, someone could just turn the lock and grab some with ease.
Source:
reddit/El1even
40. Way to reuse a broken toilet
The thought of recycling a broken toilet is great, and you could do so much with it. However, this is probably not one of them. It just makes your beautiful plants sit on something people throw poop inside before.
Source:
reddit/irgendein
41. Did someone spill some red paint?
Apparently, this person thought that painting his carโs engine would be a good idea. Well, there are reasons why it is great, but surely this is not the right way to do it. This might just become the reason for a clogged engine in the future.
Source:
reddit/MyFeelingsAreHurt1
42. Waste of knowledge
A bookworm out there might be struggling in pain after seeing this abomination. Itโs still unbelievable that someone really did think of using books as a knife holder. Such a waste of great books.
Source:
reddit/boringg-moon
43. Itโs rustic
Someone tried to sell a burnt cabinet and dubbed it as a rustic design. Even the legs are made from construction metal. Itโs probably better to burn your own cabinet than buy this.

reddit/theninthnuclearman
44. Confusing actions
There are plenty of questions that you could ask after seeing this photo. Although, you know that the first question is a simple โwhy?โ Itโs unthinkable enough to spray paint your car with no proper covers, but to do it in front of a public place is beyond outrageous.

reddit/Wagesmog
45. Eggcelent mess
Itโs amazing how someone could have thought of baking a cake with just 12 eggs. Knowing that theyโre just plain eggs, all you could think about is how bad it could be. The taste would probably only taste like yolks and nothing more.

reddit/pm_me_your_rock_porn
46. Great pool
This is still a questionable DIY, but you canโt deny that it really does a great job just and as practical as building a whole pool in the yard. Also, itโs quite a fun design for the whole family to enjoy. Hopefully, they did something to stop the boat from rusting.
Source:
reddit/GardenGnostic
47. Why do this?
Someone thought that itโs attractive to make jewelry out of doll parts. However, itโs just horrifying to be even looking at something like this. Wearing these is just a big no.

reddit/InternatPariah
48. Blended garbage
Tired of always having a stuck sink? Well, hereโs an invention that will probably help you with your issues. This involves attaching a blender under your kitchen sink and hopefully cuts all waste into an unwanted goo of dirt and grime. Itโs just icky thinking about what could be inside this blender.

reddit/thejewisher
49. The doors literally have eyes
As the proverbs say, โThe walls have ears, and the doors have eyesโฆโ Well, someone took this quote quite literally by putting a whole lot of googly eyes at his door. Now every time you stare at your door, the door is always looking back at you.

50. Someone tried selling this
This guitarโs owner thought he just created a masterpiece and decided to sell it on Facebookโs marketplace. I feel bad for the guitar. It couldโve been used perfectly by buying it new strings and tighten its pegs.

51. Since walking downhill is a hassle
Apparently, walking downhill nowadays is quite a hassle. This is why someone decided to make some roller skates that could be directly ridden. Just imagine the tragedy if this goes straight to an open road.
Source:
reddit/scramblebrained
52. Doll garden
These designs were inspired by the creepy doll from Toy Story. Itโs just unbelievable that someone would not be scared of hanging something like these in your garden. Surely, even bugs would be freaked out seeing something like these.
Source:
reddit/Malefactus
53. Isnโt this a bit too sweet?
The whole dress is literally made up of bunny Peeps, a colorful type of marshmallows sold in the US and Canada. I wonโt be surprised if this would be infested with ants an hour later. You canโt even begin to imagine the amount of sugar sticking to your body.

54. How to be an annoying driver
This guy literally spent some time attaching train horns in his car. Just imagine how loud these things go especially during traffic. Please kick off these cans before someone else does.

55. Seasoned hair clips
Who would wear such a horribly designed hair clip like these? I canโt even get the idea of why resin a spiced hairclip. Wouldnโt it smell?
Source:
reddit/creeepykitten
56. This is still fine
This guy is just too frugal to let his car be fixed by professionals. If thereโs still no budget to fix it, thereโs no problem letting it sit at home until he does. However, he prefers riding his car with his counter-innovative fixes.

reddit/demarke
57. It looks badass though
Even though there are too many questions of why build a bike like this, I bet youโd still consider trying it out for a ride. It does look great though as if it came from a cartoon or something. Although itโs such a waste of a bike especially if itโs an expensive one.

reddit/usernamewood
58. These are decorations
Apparently, this bar uses mop heads as their decorations. Although, no matter how you look at it, all you could think is how untidy they are for hanging mops on the bar. Some would even lose the appetite to drink after this.

reddit/disregardtheham
59. Not Kool
Even if you are a big fan of Kool-Aid, this is just a horrible DIY. Anyone who would have the courage to walk these in public is crazily badass. Still, itโs a waste of courage wearing something like this.

reddit/Ooga_Booga_man69
60. The Snickle
The worst combination that you might see on the internet this time would be this, a Snickle. You could just imagine how the sharpness of the pickleโs sour flavor clashes with the Snickerโs sweet taste. This is just too horrible of a combination that I feel I have to apologize for sharing this.

You canโt begin to think how people managed to pull these ideas out of their heads. It would have been nice if those ideas stayed as ideas and nothing more.
