I love a good DIY project as much as the next person. I suppose there are plenty of them that aren’t exactly necessities but just allow us to make things we enjoy or hone skills without having to spend too much money, but these 12 projects definitely take “unnecessary” to a whole new level.

Each one of these made me shake my head a little bit harder, to be honest.
