I'll never need to know how to decorate coasters (not civilized enough to use them, nor do I know people who use them).
I'll never need to know how to make a serving tray (not a hostess, nor do I know anyone who uses serving trays).
If you'd like to circumvent to the NEVER NEED category, you could post a Pinterest idea that you're oddly attracted to, but know, deep down, that it's hideous. My contribution to that section would be this spoon framed mirror. I'm a sucker, apparently, for OMBRE spoon art:

I'll never need to know how to make anything that involves the use of an old wooden pallet. I have seen a lot of cool looking things people have done w/ pallets (one of my facebook friends made an awesome backdrop out of an old pallet), but I don't really need to make anything out of an old pallet. (Says the girl who spray painted and glittered 50 pinecones to use at Thanksgiving last year).

OMG I've seen that mirror! I love to recycle stuff, but this really kills me! WHO on earth would hang that somewhere?

Aw, I make my kids fun food every Friday and they aren't spoiled!!!
I will never, ever, ever make a water-filled glass jar of glitter and other small items into something to give to a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. Because then I'd need one of the eleventy-billion "easiest and purest and best-for-you, toxic, no chemicals, no scrubbing DIY" cleaning solution recipes.

One I will never need also involves plastic spoons. I will never need to make this hanging lamp that is made with plastic spoons

I wasn't trying to offend anyone with that board. It was totally said tongue in cheek. I'm just a lazy mom who is happy when I slap some lunch together for her kiddos. I bow down to food artist moms who can make awesome memorable treats for their kids!

That hanging lamp looks pretty cool in that photo. I wonder what they look like in person? I mean, do they look like spoons? Because plastic lamp shades aren't all that crazy.... IKEA makes some pretty cool ones!!!

Those wall hangings made out of painted geometric cut out floor mats.

@farmpdpea, then you can pretend it was Salvador Dali inspired.

I love the food art but am too lazy and strapped for time...although, I have made the hot dog octopuses because they're easy and DD has a thing for octopuses.
I'm pretty sure I will never need ideas for decorating with empty toilet paper tubes.

yup, no plastic spoon art for me (hey, Sharla, it's ombre not hombre.) I will say those spoon mirrors did inspire me to do a mirror with fabric rose petals. It came out really cute, so I guess spoon art is good for something. I also do not make food art. I don't need tips for things I've known for years, like a quart jar fits on an Oster blender, and other household tips. I grew up with a mom who cooked from scratch and was a janitor for a living. There's a lot of those tips that I've known for years and years. Every time I see another one I think "Dang it! I could have gotten blog hits off that too???"

I wonder if the spoon lamps have ever melted.
I saw a chandelier that had been afixed with twigs. I kind of liked the way that it looked, but wondered if the twigs would catch fire.

Any and all obentos. I made enough when DS was growing up as I am an okaasan (Japanese for mother) and that was plenty.
Obento wo tsukuru no wa skun! I hate making obento!

I wish Pinterest had been around when I was teaching - there are a lot of cool ideas that I might have used 20 years ago but have no need for now. I am another who has no desire to repurpose a wooden pallet - although I agree that there are some cool ones. I blocked a person who filled my home board with pictures of indecently short dresses that I wouldn't wear even if I could and platform shoes that I would break an ankle wearing. I would love to save the food ideas, but I have a weight issue and have lost 25 pounds that I do not want to re-gain. My current pins are mostly related to container gardening, which I am planning to use when I retire for the last time in December.

I try not to have too much food on my feed, because it makes me hungry!

I'll never need to do a boudior photo shoot at 8 months pregnant.
(Go ahead and flame away. I think pregnant women are beautiful, just not like that).

furniture made from pallets. I tried a pallet frame for a futon that we had. The futon just sort of slumped over in an unattractive way, and it was discouraging.

The futon just sort of slumped over in an unattractive way, and it was discouraging. the thought of splinters make me shudder. having said that, there is this little house i pass by all the time. they have pallets propped like teepees and they are filled with flowers. it looks kinda cute but only because it's in someone's yard and not in the house. a little coffee house by our house has pallets attached to the front of their store. the pallets are filled with succulents. i have to admit, it looks really great as long as the succulents stay lush and full. still, not in the house.

Yeah, most pallets are so rough and dirty, it takes a bit of work to get them smoothed and clean.

There must be some kind of pallet surplus epidemic in this country considering how hard the internet is pushing pallet reformation. I would never bring one into my house. Pallets are made from cheap wood for a reason. If I want to have rough looking furniture in my house I'll go to the hardware store and buy new lumber. Not use old stuff that's been propped up next to a dumpster for 6 months.
I'm also not going to make art from trash.
But I do love trying new recipes.
