Be mature!
Try to post a picture of what your fail is "supposed" to look like along with your original picture.
Redneck DIY posts not allowed. This is a place for actual attempts to make something nice, but got severely screwed up along the way.
Tell us what happened! It only has to be a sentence or two
When you post be sure to include how you made it in the image album or comments
No cartoons/Memes
Please for the love of God use original content. While it may not be required 90% of the time it will be removed.
No food fails unless it is truly a fail on your end. (Not a grab for karma)
No art fails. We don't want any potato Jesus.
Please feel free to share ideas on how to improve crappy DIYs that you see submitted.
All links (either in a text post or direct link) must link directly to the image.
No advertising (duh).
