That's One Way to Offend the Artists

If you're trying to find a craft project but are not the most crafty individual, maybe you can try what this person did. They took old pieces of artwork depicting portraits of different people, then painted a monotone band of color across the bottom of the portraits. In doing so, they made all these pictures look like loading screens, which may be less beautiful than the original image, but it is cool.

If you're planning on doing something like this, maybe use some cheap prints from the big box store instead of actual art pieces.

They Could Have at Least Chosen a Different Paint Color

We can't for the life of us understand what these hotel designers were thinking with this paint job. It looks like a DIY finger painting lesson gone wrong after one of the kids gets into their sibling's dirty diaper. At first, we thought this was dirt smeared on the wall, but then we realized the pattern keeps going and repeating in the background. We hope these people didn't pay too much for this.

If we were running this hotel, the first order of business would be to repaint these walls. What kind of images are we trying to evoke for our guests, anyway?

He Turned His Uncle's Skeleton Into a Working Guitar

This almost looks like one of those clickbait articles you see around the internet that tries to suck you in with a false story, but this one is as real as could be. This guy actually decided to build a fully functional electric guitar out of his uncle's skeleton. Apparently, the uncle was the one who got this guy into heavy metal music, and as a way to repay him, the nephew decided to let his uncle keep shredding.

You can read more about this ridiculous project online, but we wouldn't suggest trying it yourself. The quality of a skeleton-based guitar doesn't compare to the hassle it takes to build one.

Perfect for Those Who Want an Intellectual Aesthetic but Secretly Hate Books

We never understand why some people feel the need to prove their intelligence all the time. In this case, the person's not even proving their intelligence but masquerading as intelligent instead. They've decided to build an entire library in their home, but to keep it from taking up space, they've only kept the end caps of the books on the shelf. The rest– including the text– has all been ruined.

This is such a waste of books and a waste of space. If you're not a reader, you don't need to pretend to keep a library. Just get a comfortable chair and television instead.

One Question: How Do You Plan on Changing the Batteries?

At first, we were like, "Hey, this guy might be onto something!" We're always losing our TV remotes, and with all the different ones we have to use, it's frustrating when you can't find the right one. Still, after we thought about it for a minute, we realized this DIY remote hack wouldn't help anybody out. You must scrap the whole project when the batteries run out on one remote.

Another danger of doing this yourself is that you may get some glue over the sensor at the end of the remote. Then, whether it's connected to the others or not, it's simply not going to work.

That's One Way to Reuse, Reduce, Recycle

We love the fact that the world is becoming more conscious of the dangerous levels of plastic that we all produce and use. If we don't get our wasteful ways in order soon, our landfills will continue to expand. Thankfully, this person decided to do something useful with their extra plastic bottles. They went ahead and created this beautiful, comfortable, one-of-a-kind couch! Take a peek at it yourself and see what we're talking about.

Can you imagine the noise this couch must make when you sit down on it? There would be no way to shift your weight without causing a ruckus.

No Nails, No Problem

If you're not willing to pay a premium for wifi, chances are you could wind up with a pretty bad package. There's nothing more frustrating than when the wifi at home isn't working too, so everyone needs to find a workaround for these situations. Thankfully, this British man had a brilliant DIY solution to his slow-connection issues. He pinned the router up with a dart, and after that, he never had to worry about wifi again.

We want to imagine that the router was falling, and he threw the dart to catch it. But it's much more likely that he just hung it up to get better service.
