We’ve 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, don’t feel bad because all over the world, there are a lot of people with more horrible ideas than yours.
If you don’t 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 person’s dad just attached another tube and connected it to somewhere it won’t 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 isn’t 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? Don’t 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 don’t recommend sitting on this park bench.
5. It’s good for a prank
This is something you’ll 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?
6. It’s cool and all but…
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, you’ll 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 décor. 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.
8. Waste of cutleries
I agree that you can make a clock out of anything. However, isn’t it just a waste to use silverwares to decorate one? It doesn’t even look that good. They could have reserved these for their guests.
9. Eerie objects
If you’re wondering what these are, these are actually custom-made ashtrays. It’s just plain creepy molding certain body parts to create these objects. I wouldn’t even stick my finger on this abomination.
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 that’s 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 it’s just bad and unfashionable all the way.
11. Because normal table legs aren’t enough
If your table looks bland, use a mannequin’s foot to replace each of your table’s legs. That way, it wouldn’t look boring anymore. Instead, you are left with just a plain eyesore that no one would like to use.
12. And he’s selling these
This person must have a tower of confidence to be selling these flip-flop DI(why)’s. It’s great if these are all recycled, but you can see that they still each have pairs and they’re pretty usable still. Besides, who would want to hang a flip-flop wreath in their front doors?
13. Shiny car
This car looks ridiculously shiny and you’re about to know its secret. From afar, the car looks silvery. Once you look at it closely, you’ll be disappointed knowing that the owner just covered his car with transparent duct tapes.
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.
15. Killing her the second time
This person didn’t 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.
16. A real Viking helm
Someone attached real bull horns on a biker’s 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.
17. Looks practical but not
Unless you want to grill while using mowing the lawn, this would be perfect for you. Even so, you don’t want grass flying around your steak, right? This is why attaching cheap roller wheels would be better than this.
18. Elvis who?
This guy must have mistaken him for another Elvis because this doesn’t 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!
19. Too much effort for questionable results
This restaurant hung a chandelier made up of empty oyster shells. They’re 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.
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.
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 they’re all recycled materials. He even got Jesus for extra protection.
22. Flowery designs are bad for a toilet seat
At first glance you would think that this toilet seat is smeared with something you wouldn’t wish to sit at. It’s quite a relief knowing that it’s just a sunflower decoration. Still, it’s enough to freak out anyone.
23. Looks fun though
Someone thought of replacing a broken car’s 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 wouldn’t take this outside the main road.
24. Always ready for DnD
If you want to spot a DnD fanatic, always check what kind of shoes they’re wearing. If by any chance you’ll 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.
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 they’re happy about it.
26. In case you got the scoots
If you want to relieve yourself in a restroom fun and interactive, then it’s 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.
27. This lamp is not “grate”
Why would someone use a cheese grater to turn their light into a lamp? Isn’t 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.
28. Where did he get those hooves?
This is beyond anyone’s expectations. I’d rather buy the stump alone and leave those deer hooves behind. Hopefully, those hooves aren’t real.
29. What a huge mistake
This person needs more time for his shower thoughts because obviously, this is a bad idea. Making your shower’s 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?
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.
31. The perfect car door doesn’t exi…
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.
32. Cellophane tape’s not enough
Obviously, it’s 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 didn’t 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.
33. Innovative
If you want a functional shower, then this is one way of getting one. Although, we all know that it’s much better to buy a cheap showerhead than make the effort for something like this. Glad to see that it works though.
34. Sitting on a lap
This chair is literally designed to look as if the person is sitting on a person’s lap. Aside from the design is bad, it just gives you the creeps. Most especially when the thought suddenly hits you that you’re somewhat sitting on a severed body.
35. No bird would nest here
It’s great that someone thought of recycling old boots into something, but at least make it a bit presentable. Besides, we don’t know if the smell’s still there or not. Surely, there’d be no bird that would welcome itself to nest on such a nasty boot.
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 “too much.” Although this person still managed to make it symmetrical, it still irritates me that there are too many tile patterns on one wall.
37. Make your muscles look like corn cobs
Whoever thought that lifting solid corn weights is great, then I don’t know what to say. You could say that it’s functional and obviously does its job well as weights. However, it’s 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 can’t look at eyelashes the same way anymore.
39. Protect the rice!
Someone’s 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.
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.
41. Did someone spill some red paint?
Apparently, this person thought that painting his car’s 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.
42. Waste of knowledge
A bookworm out there might be struggling in pain after seeing this abomination. It’s still unbelievable that someone really did think of using books as a knife holder. Such a waste of great books.
43. It’s rustic
Someone tried to sell a burnt cabinet and dubbed it as a rustic design. Even the legs are made from construction metal. It’s probably better to burn your own cabinet than buy this.
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 “why?” It’s unthinkable enough to spray paint your car with no proper covers, but to do it in front of a public place is beyond outrageous.
45. Eggcelent mess
It’s amazing how someone could have thought of baking a cake with just 12 eggs. Knowing that they’re 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.
46. Great pool
This is still a questionable DIY, but you can’t deny that it really does a great job just and as practical as building a whole pool in the yard. Also, it’s quite a fun design for the whole family to enjoy. Hopefully, they did something to stop the boat from rusting.
47. Why do this?
Someone thought that it’s attractive to make jewelry out of doll parts. However, it’s just horrifying to be even looking at something like this. Wearing these is just a big no.
48. Blended garbage
Tired of always having a stuck sink? Well, here’s 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. It’s just icky thinking about what could be inside this blender.
49. The doors literally have eyes
As the proverbs say, “The walls have ears, and the doors have eyes…” 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 guitar’s owner thought he just created a masterpiece and decided to sell it on Facebook’s marketplace. I feel bad for the guitar. It could’ve 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.
52. Doll garden
These designs were inspired by the creepy doll from Toy Story. It’s 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.
53. Isn’t 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 won’t be surprised if this would be infested with ants an hour later. You can’t 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 can’t even get the idea of why resin a spiced hairclip. Wouldn’t it smell?
56. This is still fine
This guy is just too frugal to let his car be fixed by professionals. If there’s still no budget to fix it, there’s no problem letting it sit at home until he does. However, he prefers riding his car with his counter-innovative fixes.
57. It looks badass though
Even though there are too many questions of why build a bike like this, I bet you’d still consider trying it out for a ride. It does look great though as if it came from a cartoon or something. Although it’s such a waste of a bike especially if it’s an expensive one.
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.
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, it’s a waste of courage wearing something like this.
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 pickle’s sour flavor clashes with the Snicker’s sweet taste. This is just too horrible of a combination that I feel I have to apologize for sharing this.
You can’t 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.
Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
