Do It Yourself projects allow people to reuse items lying around the house to create something cool instead of throwing them away. However, just because you can DIY anything, it doesn't mean you should. A subreddit with a pretty self-explanatory title (DiWHY) is collecting the worst DIY fails, and they are so dreadfully awful, you might feel like Leonardo Da Vinci after checking these bad ideas out.

Basically, these DIY ideas belong to one of the two groups: a) a DIY project is so bad, it shouldn't exist, to begin with; b) the execution turned out horribly wrong. From leaving a print of your baby's bottom on a bowl to preserving childhood toys like failed biological experiments, some people should really consult others about their latest DIY crafts. Scroll down to review the epic fails and upvote your favorites!

    That is actually a good idea because a van is a strong structure and is waterproof.

    ...partially obscuring the REAL birch trees just outside... (But I think the actual painting looks nice and makes the room cozier.)

    Daniel Losinger is right -- it is fake, but it does point out the need for somebody to come up with edible hot glue. Think of the possibilities!

    So there's this one truck that shows up occasionally in my city, we call it the book truck, because it hands out free books, apparently, but it has dolls and doll heads all over it. It's insanely creepy.

    I went to high school with a guy who drove a van (the 70's) covered in fake grass like you put on your porch. My daughter went to school with a guy who drove an ugly car but let everyone graffitti it. He looked a bit dorky but attracted plenty of girls who wanted to write on his car. Then there's the old "pimp" in our town who drives a car covered in fake flowers and stuffed animals. He dresses like a stereotypical pimp every day. We run into him in Wal-Mart all the time. My grandson loves to talk to him.

    I'm going to guess you live in a small Mid-western town. That's pretty much where I grew up. My mother's neighbor used to mow his lawn in nothing but Speedos and VIDEOTAPE IT. Small towns are where everybody just lets everyone else live. At least until that "he always kept to himself" bit comes out....love the story about the "pimp".

    This is like that other article, between paying someone to tile a floor (or in this case, repaint the car) you can do it with pennies at a fraction of the quoted cost.

    And if you drive behind it- you might get a 'lucky' penny too- since few fell off already.

    To be honest, it must have upset the owner that they come off so easily after putting in all that effort.

    So when you trade it in do you use the pennies for your new car's down payment?
