Although it's easy to head to a store and buy a winter sweater or a new lamp for your living room, is there anything better than making it yourself? No, we thought not. The DIY craft boom is still going strong, and people around the globe love learning a new skill and putting it into practice to bring amazing projects to life. But while you certainly CAN do it yourself when it comes to these crafts, that doesn't mean that you SHOULD. We think the people behind these arts and craft fails probably should have gone to Target, instead.

Mooooove Into the Light

Let's be honest; home decor can be expensive. And by the time you've spent your life savings on a couch, a bed, and other large home necessities, there's not a lot of room in the budget to buy a $300 lamp that's just going to sit in the corner of the room. That's probably why this person decided to craft their own lamp from things lying around the house, including plastic cups, pie tins, and a plastic cow!

They probably could have opted for more generic everyday items like shells or an old wine bottle, but there are no rules in the DIY craft world. And even if there were rules, this cow lamp probably would have broken all of them.

Night Night, Don't Sleep Tight

In theory, this idea was super cute, and we have to give kudos to this mom for thinking up such an adorable concept! But while we will happily congratulate her on her idea to turn her four-month-old baby's old clothes and first hat from the hospital into a doll, we resent her for bringing such a nightmare-inducing doll into our lives. After all, this looks like something from a Tim Burton movie.

Fingers crossed this child sees the love that went into this doll and doesn't see it for the creepy horror movie character it is. Alternatively, that child is never going to sleep again.

Anyone for Some Mold?

If you're someone that loves handbags, you'll know that there are so many different kinds out there. There are designer handbags, fast-fashion handbags, vintage handbags, and... moldy vintage handbags? Yes, the person who bought this bag decided to add their own little crafty additions to it. They crocheted moldy spores onto the fabric, and we're not quite sure why. But we do feel a little bit nauseous when we look at it.

But while this is a pretty strange arts and crafts project, it's fair to say that it does have its uses. After all, we don't think anyone will attempt to steal a moldy handbag!

A Hair-Raising Project

The great thing about "do it yourself" projects is that you can quite literally do anything yourself. Yes, if you can dream it, you can do it! But should you? Well, we think the jury might still be out on that one - especially when you look at this hairy skeleton. We don't know why someone would pimp out a skeleton with pink hair, but we guess anything goes in the arts and crafts world.

While we have to admire the person behind this monstrosity for really putting their time and effort into making sure every inch of the skeleton is covered in hair, we just have one question; Why?!

A Lebrontosaurus

If you ask us, $200 is an absolute steal for this arts and crafts project. Sure, the $850 they were originally asking was probably a bit too steep, but you can bet your bottom dollar that there's nothing else like this in the world! The Lebrontosaurus is a rare and (slightly) majestic creature, and the person behind this creation even got the proportions just right. Those are some epic DIY skills right there.

While we wouldn't want this in our home personally, we can't help but think that the perfect buyer for this crafty dinosaur is none other than LeBron James himself. It's a no-brainer, right?

Arts and Krafts

Do you love arts and crafts? Do you also love Kraft Singles? Well, we can only assume that the person behind this table was a lover of both. So much so that they decided to merge both of their passions together into one art and Krafts table. Of course, we're totally kidding. Those aren't cheese slices but are actually sepia-toned photographs. But now you can't get cheese out of your head, right?

Although we appreciate the old-school photos, we're also a little disappointed. So, if you want to do it yourself, we'd prefer if you used cheese instead of photos. Pretty please?

Down the Rabbit Hole

The internet is full of craft tutorials and videos, which is why it's easier than ever to do it yourself. But if you're ever influenced to do something and there's a niggle in your mind that there's absolutely no point because it will be super weird, you might want to listen to that niggle! This person didn't, which is why they ended up with this creepy rabbit hole. It seems innocent, but is it really?

Well, we have a feeling that some people really could fall down a rabbit hole when it comes to crafts like this one. So, this one was probably best left as a tutorial.
