Anyone ever have any luck trying to make your own waterhousing for a camera? I really want to take my camera with me on a kayak but I don't have the money to buy something nice.

Your pic related is seriously what I would do
I mean I would just shoot it without a care since my nikon is weather sealed
But whenever in-water just wrap a rubber on it
Just buy a waterproof P&S for <$100 if you're a digifag or a Nikonos for <$100 if you're a filmfag.
If thats too expensive then you probably shouldn't be risking your current equipment on half-assed homemade water housing anyway.

This, you're going to spend a lot more to replace your current camera when your half-assed DIY attempt fails than you would on a waterproof camera. There's a reason housings are so bulky and expensive.

I just take my old 400d and a lens I don't love (17-85 in this case) on my kayak. I'd it gets wet, life will go on.
You're gonna get photos taken through a condom. Terrible, terrible blurry smudgy ones. If I were you I'd use it as is hoping for the best, since water won't erase already taken photos off the card and worst case scenario I need to upgrade or second hand buy an old digital p&s worth what, like 20$/€ at best nowadays.

This.
I've tried it and it looked like shit.
Zip lock bag dude. Just hold it taut over the lens and you will not notice it at all.

tip of the day: make sure condom is ribbed for her pleasure

I did this before. It was very obviously in a Ziploc bag. The photos were extremely soft and low contrast.
