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!

This would be fitting for an old barn turned in to a house, where you just leave some old details. But this looks so out of place in this new building.

I don't know, it fits right in with the keycard reader next to it and it's inability to ever be used as an actual door since the other door closer is in the way.

think the firedoor was the original door? and someone made it "nicer" with an ugly glass door?

That was my idea too. The wooden door was the original one, then Management decided to install a conventional door, but they thought the original one was too pretty to be thrown away and kept it as decoration.

Old barn doors are very much in style these days. But this is definitely NOT a good placement for it.

I was in a house in the early 1970s that had a "hidden room" the guy called it, behind, yes, you read it correctly, an electric garage door.

You can only close the wooden door partially and when the other door is open.

The wooden door will hold the other door open so that people can bypass security

Pretty sure the barn door won't slide because of the handle on the other door.
