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

Phone Frosting

There's nothing quite like getting crafty on your phone case. Most of the time, these things are pretty plain - and being able to add your own personal touch really does make a huge difference. That's exactly what this person decided to do when they added this color, texture, and trinkets into the mix. But there's no doubt about the fact that this DIY phone case decoration looks like cake frosting.

If we had this case, we'd have to stop ourselves from trying to lick it off. Mostly because the whole thing is a bit of an eyesore, and looks extremely heavy!

A Major Fire Hazard

We all love Monopoly, right? This board game is a family favorite, which is why we're not surprised to see that people and businesses across the world have crafted merch to remind us of this game. And that's exactly what this person did when they used five Monopoly dollars to make a lampshade. But we can't help but think that this is a major fire hazard? Especially with such thin paper money.

We really hope that if someone did buy this DIY craft project they paid in Monopoly money instead of real money. If not, they need to go directly to jail and not pass go.

Creepy Crafts

If you're looking at this picture and still wondering what you're looking at, you might just want to scroll on. After all, we can bet your bottom dollar that your day will be much better without knowing what these things are. That's because they are... bed bugs! One crafty DIY-er decided to collect these bed bugs and frame them for jewelry pieces, and we don't think we've ever been so confused.

We don't know why anyone would want to collect bed bugs, but we're even more concerned about the people out there who would buy such a thing. We'd rather not have a bedbug necklace, thanks.

Nothing Is off Limits

This picture is proof that nothing is off-limits when it comes to the DIY club. Crafty people will bedazzle or upcycle anything they can get their hands on - even if that thing is a bag of Cheetos. The end result of this is pretty cool, but we can't help but think that it's a bit of a waste of time. Unless they plan on keeping that bag of Cheetos until the end of time without opening it up, of course.

This must have taken a long time to bedazzle, but there is one thing that's annoying us more than anything. Why is there a black dot missing on the "C" of the Cheetos name?

Flip or Flop

People flip things all the time. They flip houses, they flip furniture, and they even flip pieces of "art" like this. And we have to admire this giraffe! It's made from screws and bolts and other DIY items and probably would have looked cool before this person bought it. But when it was painted in rough paint that looks as though it's going to chip off at any moment, it instantly became a DIY disaster.

We actually think this person lost money on this giraffe when they painted it and went OTT on the crafting front. So, we don't think they'll have much luck flipping it.

Flamingo or FlaminNO?

Have you ever had a real urge to put on your DIY hat and turn something ordinary into the extraordinary? There are so many crafts that you can do yourself at home, and sometimes it's as simple as turning a boring lampshade into one with fringing or new upholstery. But this person decided to go one step further with their ceiling light and fan. They decided to get some flamingos involved.

Although we admire this creativity, this looks like a flamingo sacrifice rather than a cool piece of home decor. And we dread to think what'll happen when this fan is turned on.

"Only Worn Once"

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate the photograph of the seller, too? We'd expect nothing less from the seller of such a thing, as it's not every day you come across someone who has made their own crown of thorns. And these things aren't playing around either. The crafty person behind this creation really worked hard to make it as realistic as possible, and the whole thing is actually a little creepy.

We would really love to know if anyone actually bought this crown of thorns from the seller. After all, it definitely looks as though it's been used at least once.
