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

Emergency Munchies

One of the best things about DIY crafts is that you don't need to spend a lot of money on them. Most of the time, you can do it yourself with things lying around the house - including super glue and cereal! That's exactly why this person decided to glue Cheerios onto a mirror, and we do have to admire their creativity. However, we also have to question why they would do such a thing.

We can only assume that they decided to keep some emergency munchies on hand just in case they got peckish during the night. But surely Cheerios and dried glue don't taste as good as Cheerios on their own?

Who Wouldn't Want This

Facebook Marketplace is a great way to sell your arts and crafts, which is why we're never surprised to see DIY items on there. But it's fair to say that nothing could have prepared us for this bizarre monstrosity. Although the person who made this 7ft tall gender reveal stork obviously loved their crafty creation, they were at least a little realistic in terms of their description. Yes, it'll definitely scare someone at night.

Everything about this arts and crafts nightmare is pretty scary, but the scariest bit of all is that baby sling. It looks a little unsafe, especially so high up in the air!

A Hot Cheeto Mirror

If you've ever bought a mirror before, you'll know how expensive they are. You could easily spend $500 on a mirror, and that kind of price tag just doesn't make sense. So, why not do it yourself? It's super easy and cheap to buy plain mirrored glass and create your own surround - but you might want to steer clear of ideas like this. This person really did make a Hot Cheetos mirror. And no, we're not sure why.

Although this craft project is certainly unique, there's a reason why you can't buy mirrors like this in a physical store. And that's because it's absolutely terrifying and looks a little too much like raw meat.

Somebody Discovered Gorilla Glue

Have you ever discovered something so life-changing that it became your entire personality for two months until you eventually moved on to something else? Well, we have a feeling that the employee behind this mirror had recently discovered Gorilla Glue when they crafted this thing. Upon realizing that this stuff really will glue anything, they opted to glue everything from the lost and found box to the mirror. And this was the result!

Sure, it's a little quirky, but what happens when the owners of the lost and found come to retrieve their items? They'd probably just have to take the whole mirror home with them.

A Little Bit of Bad Luck

We're going to go ahead and admit that this arts and crafts project is actually pretty cool - and we could definitely see it in the homes of country folk! And while we do admire the "do it yourself" spirit of this creation, we do also have to question the thought process behind the upside-down horseshoes. After all, everyone knows that upside-down horseshoes are bad luck, right? And nobody wants bad luck around Christmas.

We'll give this crafter a little pass for this one, though. If the horse shoes were the other way around it wouldn't look as effective. So, we'll take the bad luck.

This Looks Uncomfortable

Do-it-yourself projects can be super romantic when done right. In fact, more and more engaged couples are choosing to head to their local jewelers to forge their own wedding rings with the help of a professional by their side. But we get the impression that this guy didn't employ the help of a professional - and it shows! Sure, the sentiment behind this ring is romantic, but in reality, it looks super uncomfortable.

If you can't touch your fingers together when you're wearing a ring, it's not the right ring for you. But that didn't stop this guy from making a ring out of roller chain.

Take a Seat on the Jair

Arts and crafts are perfect for frugal people who love to make the most of what they already have. And while the owner of this chair could have just thrown it away when the upholstery started to rip and fray, they decided to DIY a solution instead. They gathered up all of their old jeans and created their very own jair. Yes, that really is a chair made from jeans!

We have nothing against these do-it-yourself projects when the end result looks good, but the jury is still out on whether this looks good or not. Personally, we're on the fence.
