Oh, Baby

Gifts come in all shapes and sizes, but have you ever been gifted a necklace of tiny plastic babies before? We're going to go ahead and assume that you haven't, as this isn't the kind of DIY craft project that most people add to their list. They stick to relatively normal gifts, such as blankets, shell necklaces, or bedazzled cards. But there's always a first for everything, and this baby necklace is certainly a first.

Of course, a necklace of tiny plastic babies is creepy in the first place. But what makes this whole thing even creepier is the eyes of these babies. Why do they look like that?

How Cheesy

We have a feeling that craft lovers will fall into two camps when it comes to this cheese grater lamp. There will be some that think it's the cheesiest thing they've ever seen in their lives, while there will be others who think it's grate! We can appreciate the creativity that went into this DIY design, but we do have to question why they didn't just buy a new grater.

Sure, the rusty aesthetic might suit some houses, but how many people will really want a rusty bit of metal sitting on their cabinet? But we guess you can't complain too much for $15.

We'll Pass on Dessert

We don't know what is more disturbing when it comes to these baby shower jelly desserts; the fact that they look so strange and creepy, or the fact that the person who crafted these things expects people to eat them! No, these babies aren't part of the glass. They are all part of the jelly experience, which means that they have been made to be eaten! And that's just weird.

Why anyone would want these things at their baby shower is beyond us, but we guess there's a market for them. Why else would this person be selling them for $60?

Ruining the Globe

When you think of ruining the globe, you probably think of global warming and climate change. But would you say that this is also a way of ruining the globe? According to research, traditional globes are actually extremely outdated and inaccurate, which is why this crafty person may have decided to upcycle theirs and turn it into a fabulous moon instead. They even added some fake eyelashes into the mix.

Just because you can do this kind of thing yourself doesn't mean that you have to, though. If you don't want this face staring at you from across the room, but the blue paint down!

At Least They're Not on the Floor

If you have any experience with LEGOs, you'll know that these things are the epitome of "do it yourself." The whole idea is that you use these building blocks to craft buildings and structures. But it seems as though this person decided to try something new and different. Instead of slotting them all together, they decided to shove them into a bottle and fill it with soap. Why? Well, we're not sure.

Of course, a child might appreciate this when they begrudgingly wash their hands before dinner. And at least these LEGOs aren't on the floor for you to impale yourself on, right?

"Goat Skin"

Well, apologies if you actually wanted to get a good night's sleep tonight. With weird crafts like this in the world, we bet it'll be impossible to ever sleep again. But the main issue we have with these terrifying masks is the fact that there's such a big market for these things that this person has been able to make a business out of it! The teeth are just gross.

Is anyone else dubious about the fact that this person had to clarify they were made from goat skin? If you ask us, that looks suspiciously like real, human skin.

Tired of It All

DIY crafters have some pretty impressive skills. But sometimes they go too far, right? And this doll is the perfect example of that. Even the doll itself looks tired of it all. She just wanted to live out her days as a giant head with beautiful hair, but then this "do it yourself" crafter had to go ahead and ruin it all. They cut off her hair, replaced it with Tootsie Rolls, and stuck her to a mason jar!

We love Tootsie Rolls as much as the next person, but this arts and crafts project has just gone so wrong. This whole thing is weird, and not enticing at all.
