19 DIY Designs That Are Makeshift Nightmares

Step into the peculiar and bizarre world of /r/DiWHY, a subreddit that stands as a testament to all the terrible choices people have made when they tried to put matters into their own hands. DIY projects can be an incredibly captivating thing. On websites like Pinterest and Etsy, people celebrate their handmade creations, either by posting pictures of them for others to see or even putting them up for sale. Whether they're cute tapestries or handmade bags, jewelry, or other accessories, each item represents the online community's creativity.

Reddit's /r/DiWHY is an entirely different sort of depository. Instead of celebrating people's DIY projects, it makes fun of them, particularly the ones that just aren't very well made. Each of these 19 creations begs one simple question, "Why did you make this?" As you explore this collection, you'll have lots of questions in your mind, but more importantly, you'll probably think twice before starting that passion project of yours, or at least consult an expert before getting your hands dirty.
