While some people like to spend their Saturday mornings going for a long run or cycling around their city, others are at home diving into a long list of DIY projects that they’ve been compiling for months. You know, the usual: build a new desk, paint that old lamp shade, replace the heads on your daughter’s old dolls with crocodile skulls…

As it turns out, the sky is the limit when it comes to what people will DIY. But just because something can be created doesn’t necessarily mean that it should be. We took a trip to the DiWHY subreddit and gathered some of their most questionable posts below. Enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you raise your eyebrows.

Now, if you’re feeling inspired by this list but you’re not sure what kind of DIY project to embark on, the DIY Playbook has some suggestions of simple projects anybody can make. If you love taking bubble baths, maybe you need a bathtub tray to hold a glass of wine and a book. Or maybe you want to create a gallery wall by hanging a bunch of different pieces of artwork in your living room. You can even paint the outdated tiles on the floor of your bathroom to give them a new life. These are all simple, beginner-friendly projects that can add some much-needed spice to your home.
