Photos That Prove How DIY Arts and Crafts Projects Can Go Awry

Advertisement

While it may be convenient to purchase a winter sweater or a new lamp for your living room from a store, is there anything more satisfying than creating them yourself? Indeed, we did not think so. The popularity of DIY crafts continues to thrive, with individuals worldwide embracing the opportunity to acquire new skills and use them in order to create remarkable projects. However, doing these crafts yourself does not mean you should. The individuals responsible for these unsuccessful attempts at arts and crafts would likely have benefited from shopping at Target instead.

Mooooove Into the Light

Frankly speaking, home design can often come with a hefty price tag. Once you have spent your entire savings on essential furniture items such as a couch and a bed, there is very little financial flexibility left to allocate $300 towards a lamp that would merely occupy a corner of the room. Presumably, this individual chose to construct their own lamp using various household items such as plastic cups, pie tins, and a plastic cow.

They could have chosen more commonplace objects, such as shells or an old wine bottle, but in the world of DIY crafts, there are no restrictions. This cow lamp would likely break all rules even if one existed.

Night Night, Don’t Sleep Tight

Theoretically, this idea was quite endearing, and we must commend this mother for conceiving such a beautiful concept! Although we commend her for the creative concept of repurposing her infant’s old garments and first hospital hat into a doll, we harbor resentment towards her for introducing a doll that evokes feelings of fear and unease into our existence. Indeed, this bears a striking resemblance to a creation from a Tim Burton film.

We hope the child recognizes the love for this doll and doesn’t view it as a terrifying figure from a horror film. On the other hand, that child will never sleep again.

Anyone for Some Mold?

If you have a fondness for handbags, you are likely aware of the wide variety of options available. Designer handbags, fast-fashion handbags, vintage handbags, and even mold-affected vintage handbags are all available. Indeed, the individual who purchased this bag opted to embellish it with their own artistic touches. They attached decayed fungal particles to the textile, and the reason behind this action remains uncertain. However, when we observe it, we experience a slight sensation of nausea.

However, despite its unconventional nature, it is reasonable to acknowledge that this arts and crafts creation does serve a purpose. In any case, we find it highly unlikely that someone would attempt to steal a mold-covered purse.

A Hair-Raising Project

The remarkable aspect of “do it yourself” projects is that you have the ability to independently accomplish virtually any task. Indeed, if one is capable of envisioning a goal, one possesses the ability to achieve it. However, should you? There is still uncertainty surrounding this matter, especially when considering the skeletal structure that is covered in hair. The reason for someone adorning a skeleton with pink hair remains unknown to us, but we surmise that the arts and crafts realm allows for a wide range of creative expressions.

While we must acknowledge the dedication and meticulousness of the individual responsible for meticulously covering every part of the skeleton with hair, a single question remains: Why?

A Lebrontosaurus

In our opinion, the price of $200 for this arts and crafts project is exceptionally low and represents a fantastic deal. Indeed, the initial price of $850 was likely excessively high, but it is certain that there is no comparable item anywhere else in existence! The Lebrontosaurus is an uncommon and somewhat impressive monster, and the individual responsible for its design has accurately depicted its proportions. Those are some impressive do-it-yourself talents demonstrated.

Although we wouldn’t want this smart dinosaur in our home, LeBron James would be the perfect buyer. It is an obvious and straightforward decision, correct?

Arts and Krafts

Are you passionate about creating and executing artistic and handcrafted works? Are you also in love with Kraft Singles? We can assume the person at this table liked both. They were so passionate about both that they decided to combine their two passions into a single art and crafts table. Indeed, we are merely jesting. These items are not cheese slices, but rather sepia-toned photos. However, it seems that you are currently unable to stop thinking about cheese, correct?

While we acknowledge the value of traditional photographs, we are rather dissatisfied. If you choose to undertake the task independently, we strongly recommend using cheese as a substitute for photographs. May I kindly request?

Down the Rabbit Hole

The abundance of craft tutorials and videos available on the internet has made it increasingly convenient to engage in do-it-yourself activities. However, if you ever feel compelled to engage in an activity and have a nagging feeling that it would be utterly pointless and really strange, it would be wise to heed that intuition! This individual failed to do so, which is the reason they found themselves in this eerie and perplexing situation. Although it may appear harmless, is it truly so?

It appears that certain individuals may become highly engrossed or obsessed with crafts such as this one. Therefore, it is advisable to consider this particular topic more suitable for a tutorial.

Emergency Munchies

One benefit of DIY crafts is their affordability. Often, you can accomplish it alone using readily available household items, such as adhesive and breakfast cereal! That is precisely why this individual chose to adhere Cheerios to a mirror, and we must indeed commend their ingenuity. Nevertheless, we must also inquire as to their motivation for engaging in such behavior.

Presumably, they chose to save some emergency snacks in case they became hungry during the night. The combination of Cheerios and dried glue is unlikely to taste as good as Cheerios alone.
