Don't try this at home! People share their VERY bizarre design solutions - from chandelier headlights to a tea set painted with ants
In the last couple of years, DIY 'hacks' have become more prevalent than ever.
But while designs usually aim to make life easier, these rather unique inventions do little more than puzzle the beholder.
Among the entertaining projects from across the globe, which were collated in an online gallery by TheRocketScience, include a lighter made of human teeth and shoes without soles.
Elsewhere, rather unappealing false eyelashes have been created from cockroach legs, while a toilet was formed using old stones.
A bright idea? This car in the US features chandeliers as headlights - certainly a creative endeavour. While they might, technically, light the driver's way, one tight corner would means lights out
Wood you believe it? This stick-turned-scooter invention isn't a far cry from something Fred Flintstone might have used when he wasn't with his car
This tea set painted with swarming ants is a disturbing trick of the eye. While the attention to detail is great, it certainly begs the question - who wants insects in their tea?
A dining table water fountain might sound like a great idea for a creative homeowner, but put one plate in the wrong place and dinner will be over in a heartbeat
The owners of this toilet might have been going for a vintage look, but they managed to take their bathroom all the way into the stone ages
This poster, who lives in Washington, got fired from their job for sporting these monstrous steel-toe capped crocs
Grout idea! While the owner of this bathroom may have been going for a 'glitzier' look, the actual result will likely only last a few days before the glitter spreads everywhere else
That's one way to install extra security! This DIY 'master' fell short when they added a privacy curtain to their front door
This TV remote, while certainly funkier than most, has a unique function...it will take the user an added five minutes to find the button they want
Sweet dreams aren't made of this! Let's hope that this terrifying nightlight wasn't used to soothe a child as they slept
The owners of this decoration piece either made the most festive ladder, or the saddest Christmas tree
Give it the boot: This fashionista might not be stepping on toes any time soon, but they'll certainly be stepping on heads
Jean-ius? This social media user decided that carpeted stairs were old news, and nothing else would quite fit the bill like mismatched jeans
This unknown poster created a pogo-stick contraption that's likely to be more forceful that the average plunger...however the user risks falling in behind
A sweet (if not creepy) idea for those long lonely drives. One person, from an unknown location, decided the best way to change gears was while holding hands
Possibly one of the more bizarre items on the list, this unknown shoe-alterer decided that no soles were better than some
Twitter user, Emily Batzar, commented on the bizarre nature of a 'mood ring' toilet seat she found on a Facebook craft group
This plug is best left alone since a free-thinker took it upon themselves to solve the long cord problem...
