Title: Upcycled Masterpiece or Total Trainwreck? Share Your Most EPIC DIY Failures!

Hey fellow makers! I'm the first to admit that I've had my fair share of epic DIY fails, and I'm here to share one of my most memorable ones. I tried to upcycle an old broken skateboard into a planter, but let's just say it ended up looking like something a kindergartener made, not a masterpiece

"Haha gotta share my attempt at a smart home router using a Raspberry Pi and a bunch of hacked-together sensors. It looked cool at first, but ended up being a messy nightmare of conflicting scripts and overheating hardware. Still wanna know if anyone successfully pulled off something similar"

"Lol, I once tried to turn an old keyboard into a planter, but it ended up looking like a Hot Mess Express. The paint job was super uneven and the keyboard keys kept falling off. I guess you could say it was a key-failure"

"Haha, got to share mine - I once tried to build a smart home system using an old router and some spare LEDs. Ended up with a house that looked like a Christmas tree explosion, but at least it was lit. Moral of the story? Don't try to reinvent the wheel, stick to the instructions"

"LMAO, I've had my fair share of DIY fails, but the worst was when I tried to build a smart home system using an Arduino Uno and ended up with a bunch of faulty circuitry and a melted board. Lesson learned: don't mix analog and digital circuits . Anyone else have a similar disaster story?"
