Most of us like to think of ourselves as being pretty handy and able to fix things around the house when they’re broken. Well, I don’t, but I’ve heard tell that there are such people out there!

However, not everyone who turns their hand to the art of DIY is exactly an expert…far from it in fact. So, please enjoy these 14+ inventions that put the “Why” in DIY.

‘I Didn’t Do Anything Wrong’ Says Woman Who Jumped Into Monkey Enclosure

The Smartmobile!

Image credit: Reddit | Fortzuh
Reddit | Fortzuh

I think that this might actually have improved on the initial Smart car design. Although, I think that maybe just says more about how I feel about the Smart car.

“I tried to make Ron Weasley out of peas…”

Reddit | tentoesandcounting

I mean, they were surprisingly successful at making this accurate depiction of, dare I say it…Ron Peasley.

“When 2 VWs merge into 1!”

Image credit: Reddit | Browndog888
Reddit | Browndog888

I hate this so much, but at the same time there is a part of me that really, really wants one!

“It’s not stupid if it works…right?”

Image credit: Reddit | sumare77
Reddit | sumare77

I’ve heard of a flip phone, but a flip-flop phone? Now I’ve heard everything!

*Winks directly into the camera to scattered applause and groaning…

“This is how my father has decided to rig up the router.”

Image credit: Reddit | Waffles_and_Waffles
Reddit | Waffles_and_Waffles

One meticulous person realized that the dart’s flights were inserted backward. However, if that is what you are focusing on here, then you need to get your priorities straight!

“How does crap not fly off?!”

Image credit: Reddit | whowouldathought01
Reddit | whowouldathought01

Aside from wondering whether things will fly off, I am mainly wondering what would possess someone to do this in the first place?!

“Garden tool chairs!”

Image credit: Reddit | Chrissless
Reddit | Chrissless

These are perfect for anyone who doesn’t currently have back problems but wishes that they did.

How Could You Do This To An Aston Martin?

Reddit | Scrambler-ramble

Look, I could surprisingly live with the color, but those damn rims… Holy hell, they’re something else.

“I wanted to be more popular, so I made myself a fan club.”

Image credit: Reddit | BlueFungus66
Reddit | BlueFungus66

Amazingly, when asked if this actually “works,” the person who built it added, “Yes. button visible halfway up handle. 12V fans w. 9V battery, all spin slowly.”

Does It Really?

Image credit: Reddit | Jelly-Curious
Reddit | Jelly-Curious

Well, that is one hell of a unique marketing technique. I’m sure it will appeal to fairy tale wolves everywhere.

“Made a bookshelf for my brick collection.”

Image credit: Reddit | Nybblet
Reddit | Nybblet

Well, you’ve got to have somewhere to keep your bricks after all! Also, you want to have your bricks somewhere easily accessible so you can pick one up when you fancy and have a little midnight read.

“We don’t need a professional honey…”

Image credit: Reddit | Ahemkeidb
Reddit | Ahemkeidb

Every time that you were cooking something on the stove this would just make you want to rip your eyes out of your head. Also, it makes me feel quite dizzy to look at.

“When the car spins, someone’s gonna die Final Destination style.”

Image credit: Reddit | CripySatyr16
Reddit | CripySatyr16

Nothing about this makes sense. I mean, what is going on with the rest of the interior design, never mind the catastrophically bad decision to put a cinder block in the middle of it!

“My first ever custom-built chainsaw!”

Image credit: Reddit | yo_ells
Reddit | yo_ells

And the award for “Dad Joke Of The Week” goes to the mastermind behind this terrible pun! Congrats, I hope it fills an empty void in your heart!

“This lampshade is made of cassettes and zip ties…for some reason.”

Image credit: Reddit | Agent117184
Reddit | Agent117184

“Look what I made! It’s made of cassettes and zip ties!”

“I can see that. But…why?”

“Because it’s cute!”

“Is it?”

“This upside-down drivable truck.”

Image credit: Reddit | Snorris8
Reddit | Snorris8

Yes, I’ve always wished that my car was actually the other way up! And to think that people called me mad for having that wish!

“Is that a doorbell?”

Image credit: Reddit | stempy405
Reddit | stempy405

Who really needs a fancy electronic fob for their car door? Give me a bit of plywood, a code-activated key drop box, and a classic doorknob any day!

“This table made from an old street sign.”

Image credit: Reddit | wholl0p
Reddit | wholl0p

This strikes me as something that would have pride of place in an artsy-hipster studio apartment.

“I made a sweater out of dryer fluff.”

Image credit: Reddit | disco1978
Reddit | disco1978

Good to know I wasn’t missing out on anything by throwing out my dryer lint all these years.

“Vase out of cloth and cement, ladies and gents.”

Image credit: Reddit | Its_finally_time_
Reddit | Its_finally_time_

I think any plant that comes in contact with this would shrivel up and die immediately. Just on principle.

“This showed up at my work today. It’s hand made from old cans of Fanta.”

Image credit: Reddit | Silverslade1
Reddit | Silverslade1

Out there somewhere is a child who would wear this hat until the brim is falling off, and I admire them.

“Not sure if this counts, but I made a bracelet out of bullet casings.”

Image credit: Reddit | Sir-Clout-the-5th
Reddit | Sir-Clout-the-5th

This just strikes me as macaroni art but for adults.

“They ran out tiles when renovating and created this monstrosity.”

Image credit: Reddit | CaitySoul
Reddit | CaitySoul

The emotional damages this causes costs more than the one singular tile they could have purchased instead.

“Someone is trying to sell his self made Land Rover BBQ on Facebook for the small amount of €1250…”

Image credit: Reddit | AmbVer96
Reddit | AmbVer96

That’s around $1500 USD for anyone wondering. That much for a barbeque someone stuck under the hood of a butchered car. Yep.

“My bookend that is a real slice of watermelon in epoxy.”

Image credit: Reddit | whathowyy
Reddit | whathowyy

Forget the watermelon, aren’t bookends supposed to be used against books that are standing? What purpose is this serving?

“I got bored and made an amplifier.”

Image credit: Reddit | jacobsredditusername
Reddit | jacobsredditusername

This isn’t too bad, actually. I remember the first lifehack I ever saw was putting your phone speaker down into a cup to amplify it. This is just the evolution of that.

“I made a necklace out of my wisdom tooth.”

Image credit: Reddit | PinkBone611
Reddit | PinkBone611

This is somehow less weird than just keeping it in a container somewhere.

These Cow Tag Earrings…

Image credit: Reddit | oliveio
Reddit | oliveio

A few people said that they looked too big. But to those people I need to say, the size ain’t the problem with them!

“Hmm yes this pot is made out of basketball.”

Image credit: Reddit | SubRapture
Reddit | SubRapture

Y’know what? Compared to most of the stuff on this list, this one isn’t even that bad.

“Fabric mushroom on a sofa chair…”

Image credit: Reddit | calimarfornian
Reddit | calimarfornian

What a great and hideous way to make your perfectly fine chair infinitely more uncomfortable to sit on!
