In almost every house there are many old ones and which it is often a pity to throw away - whether it is worn, but once favorite jeans or a blanket, a lamp shade for a lamp or a table inherited from a grandmother. With a little imagination and patience, you can make these items with your own hands, which will favorably decorate the interior of your home. In addition, the completed craft can become an original and exclusive gift for your friends and family.

Opening the wardrobe

You can start looking for old handicraft items in your wardrobe. Surely somewhere on the far shelf is an old favorite T-shirt or a worn sweater. Don't clutter your closet with things that you don't use. Just give your rare jeans or blouse a new life!

Pants turn into ... elegant shorts!

Hand-made things will create a unique image and emphasize style. Frayed jeans can be easily converted into summer shorts. To do this, you will need:

  • scissors;
  • rhinestones;
  • lace;
  • a little fantasy.

Measure the length of your jeans and mark the border along which you will cut off excess material. Try to cut the fabric neatly along the dotted line. Do not throw away the trousers themselves. They will come in handy for the next craft. Now decorate the bottom by carefully marking it. The pockets can be decorated with rhinestones. Thus, I learned a new and exclusive thing.

Denim crafts. Master Class

The remaining legs can be crafted into one of the following:

  • mini-handbag (you will also need a cream-colored strap);
  • sofa pillow;
  • hot stand;
  • case for mobile phone;
  • cover for an e-book.

These hand-made things will be very useful in everyday life. To create a hot stand, we need:

  • 20 identical denim strips (15-20 cm each) cut from the leg;
  • lace;
  • threads;
  • scissors;
  • sewing machine.

All denim strips are laid in a braided pattern. Each horizontal row is stitched (10 times in total). The resulting square is subsequently trimmed around the edges to make them smoother. In order for the craft to look neat, braid or lace is sewn around the perimeter. The unusual stand is ready!

Taking care of the printed word

If you are an avid reader and are used to keeping your books in order, design a denim cover for them. Despite the fact that this craft requires a minimum of effort, you will get an amazing result!

Materials:

  • leg (better with a back pocket);
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • needle with thread;
  • book.

Measure out the amount of material needed for the cover. To do this, spread the open book over your jeans and mark the dotted line for the cut, leaving 5 cm as an allowance. Wrap the book in the cut out blank, sew the edges well. Decorate the cover with a denim pocket, sequins, rhinestones - whatever you want. Decorate the edges of the cover with lace or braid.

Unusual decor

You can also make interesting things with your own hands and profitably change the interior of the room, giving it originality. Those who have accumulated a lot of buttons can be advised to make simple ones, but very much for the home, such as:

New interesting DIY crafts can also be made from discs that have become unusable. It can be both Christmas tree toys, which even a child can easily make, and items for the house: chandeliers, curtains, boxes and much more. The lamp made of CDs looks very stylish and unusual. In order to fasten them together, you need to stock up on staples or metal rings. Holes in the discs must be made with a screwdriver.

These do-it-yourself items from old things look very beautiful and unusual.

In a shop for craftswomen

You can do interesting things with your own hands using a special material that is sold in any craft store. It can be yarn, a base for embroidery with a pattern, special paper, etc. This material is intended for practicing certain types of needlework: macrame, patchwork, decoupage, quilling, etc. Knowing the basics of work in this area, you can make unusual crafts. A master class of this kind is presented below.

Putting it together by shred

Patchwork has become an interesting and very popular type of needlework in recent years (translated from English it means "work with a patch"). Skillful needlewomen create real masterpieces of art from scraps of fabric: blankets, rugs, carpets and even curtains. In order for the work to turn out to be of really high quality, it is necessary to select fabrics that are similar in texture. It is also desirable that the pattern of the patches be in harmony with each other. It is necessary to cut out pieces of fabric taking into account allowances - from 0.5 to 1 cm. Cutting of the material is carried out along the shared thread. Pre-wash and iron the fabric to prevent shrinkage. The material can only be traced with soap, pencil or chalk, but not with a pen - there is a risk of marks on the front of the product.

Blanket "Spring mood"

For manufacturing, you need to prepare:

  • fabric in green, pink, yellow, orange and blue;
  • soap, chalk or pencil, ruler;
  • template - square 6 x 6 cm, rectangles 24 x 6 and 12 x 6 cm;
  • scissors;
  • sewing machine;
  • a piece of fabric 111 x 83 cm (for the seamy part of the product);
  • synthetic winterizer.

Prepare the fabric: wash, dry and iron. Lay out the prepared cardboard templates on the material. Cut out 12 pink, blue, green, and yellow squares, not forgetting the 1 cm allowance. In addition, you will need 60 squares of the same size but different colors. You will use them to sew the blanket around the perimeter. Prepare 24 strips 24 cm long and 6 cm wide from different fabrics and 24 strips 12 cm wide of the same width.

We start sewing: take 4 squares of 6 cm in different colors and sew them together. Then wash 4 strips of the same color around the perimeter of the resulting product: 2 short - on the sides, 2 long - above and below. Collect all the other squares in the same way. Sew the resulting products together. You should get 4 large squares in length and 3 in width.

The next step is to sew squares (set aside 60 pieces) around the perimeter of the blanket. The order of their arrangement by color depends entirely on your imagination. Now you need to sew a fabric 83 x 111 cm to the blanket (3 cm for an allowance). It is necessary to connect the 2 sides together with the front side inward. After you sew 3 sides, turn the product inside out and fill with padding polyester. Then carefully join the 4th edge (with a typewriter or by hand). A soft and beautiful blanket is ready!

In the same way, you can also throw blankets. Creative things (with your own hands), photos of which are presented in this article, bring warmth and comfort! Try them yourself.

Crafts ... from food

You can even make things for the house with your own hands from food: various cereals, pasta, dough and even sweets. With a little imagination, you can make paintings, pendants and even watches! Buckwheat or rice should be glued to a pre-prepared template with PVA glue. The groats can be painted - and the picture will sparkle with all colors. Introduce your child to work - this will help him develop fine motor skills of hands and creative thinking. In order to create, you can use coffee beans. You can also make other interesting things with your own hands from this material, for example, a gorgeous bonsai tree, which will delight you and those around you with its original look.

Piece of the East

To create a bonsai tree you will need:

  • balloon;
  • PVA glue;
  • brown threads (slightly thicker than nylon);
  • thick branch;
  • flower pot;
  • pebbles.

The balloon must be tightly wrapped with a thread soaked in glue and set aside. The workpiece must dry for at least 4-5 hours. Next, the balloon must be pierced and carefully removed. On the remaining base, planted on a harvested branch, you need to glue the coffee beans. The branch should be strengthened in a flower pot using pebbles. The beautiful tree is ready!

Now you know that making things for your home with your own hands is interesting and useful!

The house is beautiful, clean, freshly renovated, there are all the necessary household appliances and furniture, but still something is missing. Coziness! So, it's time to get some designer gizmos for interior decoration, which are interesting to look at. They can be bought in an online store, kiosk, in the market, but it is easier to do each thing with your own hands - it is fashionable and not expensive. What and how to do for the creative design of your home, what materials and tools are better to use for this, more details about useful crafts in the text below.

Tree-paintings and not only

Plant motifs have always been very popular - it is impossible to do without them in an eco-interior, some types of oriental, Provence, vintage. Paintings on wooden surfaces are done using:

  • acrylic or oil paints, paint brushes;
  • dye from a spray can through a stencil;
  • burning with a magnifying glass, a special apparatus;
  • by pulling colored threads between nails driven into a piece of wood;
  • gluing wooden twigs in the form of a tree on a plank surface, followed by applying paints, varnishes.

There is another original way: transferring a photo to a wooden surface. How to do it: you need a picture printed on a laser printer, the smoothest board possible, acrylic gel. Gel is applied to the wood, the photo is placed face down, smoothed. They wait until it dries enough, soak the paper with water, wash it until the drawing itself. Next, the plane should be covered with varnish, decoupage glue - the picture is ready.

Daisies on the board are painted with brushes of different thicknesses and in three colors - white, yellow, brown. Fluffy dandelions are depicted on wood with a burner using thick and thin nozzles. To make a picture of threads and nails, a necessary contour is drawn on a board or plywood, along which small nails are driven in with a hammer, knitting or embroidery threads are pulled between them. The base can be pre-painted in a contrasting color.

DIY designer toys for the interior

Homemade toys will be a wonderful gift for a child or a woman, decorating the interior of the bedroom. For their manufacture, textiles, leather, wood, etc. are used.

The difference between interior toys and ordinary ones:

  • they are made to decorate a room, not to play;
  • they are unique, original, one-of-a-kind;
  • emphasize the features of the style of the interior;
  • reflect the mood of the room and the author of the items.

On the Internet, you can find many photos and videos with instructions for making toys for the interior.

Interior dolls are:

  • articulated,
  • from jersey,
  • realistic,
  • fancy,
  • miniature,
  • made of plastic,
  • in mixed media.

For work you will need threads, a needle, fabric, fabric paints, large beads, synthetic winterizer, doll clothes, shoes. First, the pattern is drawn on paper, after which all the details are outlined on the fabric - the head and body in two, arms and legs in four. All parts are sewn together, turned inside out, stuffed with padding polyester, interconnected, ears and fingers stand out. Large beads will become the doll's joints, and the face is drawn using acrylic paints. Hair is bought special, doll hair or sewn on thread, they can be styled in a fancy hairstyle. Clothes and footwear are sewn independently or purchased.

Some designers offer dolls made of wool using dry felting technique. Empty plastic bags can be folded into a decorative "empty" doll made from an old baby jumpsuit.

And here's how to make a rag magpie with decoupage elements and acrylic painting. What you need: fabric, colored napkins for decoupage, a brush, buttons, glue, an iron stand, a needle and thread. To begin with, a pattern is drawn on paper. The magpie will consist of two identical parts - the paper pattern is outlined on the fabric folded in half. Then the details (body and wings) are sewn on a typewriter, turned inside out, stuffed. The wings are sewn on or glued to the torso. Next, the bird is primed with PVA glue, dried with a hairdryer, painted with acrylic or decorated with napkins. The eyes are made of beads or buttons, the stand is pasted over with napkins.

Such a toy can serve as a stand for jewelry - beads, bracelets, rings, and has a rigid frame, even for some gadgets.

Decorative pillows, cushions are sewn from variegated patches, and anything can serve as a stuffing for them - synthetic winterizer, cotton wool, various soft rags. You can also crochet or knit a colored, plain cover on any existing pillow with your own hands. For pillows made of a homogeneous fabric, hand embroidery is suitable - cross-stitch, satin stitch, applique. The tapestry design also looks good. You can also simply wrap any pillow with a fabric, tying the ends of the fabric with a decorative knot.

According to the shape of the pillows are: square, rectangular, round, rollers, in the form of various animals, hearts, cookies, bagels, etc. They will become soft accessories for the bedroom of a teenage girl. Decorative letter pillows are often made for festive decoration of premises - for the new year, wedding, birthday.

Pompom decor

From pompons you can make:

  • bedside rugs;
  • decor of curtains, lamps, frames;
  • decoration for flower pots, bottles, vases;
  • covers for stools, door handles;
  • flower "heads" on long stem-branches;
  • garlands for decorating ceilings, walls;
  • screens made of stretched threads with pom-poms;
  • numbers, letters to decorate the festive ceremony;
  • decorative curtains.

To make a pom-pom, you will need threads and two cardboard "donuts", which are tightly wrapped with thread. After the outer edge is cut between the "bagels", the middle is wrapped with a knotted thread, and the rings are removed. Also, pom-poms are made of colored paper.

The interior with pom-poms looks very "homey".

Variations of shelves from scrap materials

Wonderful homemade shelves are made from scrap materials. A light composition of octagonal candy boxes in the form of honeycombs, hanging from unnecessary notebooks, will cost you absolutely nothing. A book shelf in the shape of an arrow is made from pieces of a water pipe with valves, and a shelf for a bathroom is made from plastic trays. An old door nailed diagonally in the corner of the room makes an excellent bookcase with plywood shelves. Wide skis, wrapped in foil and fixed horizontally on the walls, also have the right to become shelves. Shelves made from the remnants of MDF and various metal parts will decorate a room in a loft or industrial style. A round shelf made of old sieve, pieces of plywood will complement the ethnic interior. Shelves made of rough boards, round, oblique cuts, varnished, will become wall stands for flowers, and a large piece of thick bark or round timber will become a suspended ceiling structure for the design of a summer cottage or garden.

Stylish hardware decor

Various volumetric fantasy compositions, panels, interior toys and whole sculptures are made using welding from nails, screws, bolts, nuts, gears. The head of an iron horse is made from the remains of a metal pipe, chains, a figurine of a cat is made from a pair of nuts and large bent nails, and a decorative forest in miniature is made from large screws and metal pieces. A round mirror is held on several dozen decorative nails driven into the wall in a circle, a panel made of gears perfectly decorates the steampunk interior. Also, water taps, pipes, heating radiators are decorated with welded metal bolts and nuts.

Ideas for organizing storage

Racks made of cardboard boxes will be an excellent interior decoration in the art-believe style. It is convenient to store tights, socks, underwear rolled into rolls in boxes with cells. Decorations are put in cups or bowls, perfumes and jars of creams are placed on a cake stand, rag organizers for all sorts of little things are hung on the door. Wicker baskets can be conveniently placed under a bed or on top of a wardrobe; a variety of bags can be placed on the closet bar using wire hooks. Ties and belts are stored on a wall board with hooks, shoes are stored on hangers with clothespins, pencils are stored in glass jars, and old cupcake molds are used for clerical items and small sewing accessories. Toys are stored in nets under the ceiling or on podiums on the floor.

The decoration of the room should correspond to its style.

Unusual stone rug

For the hallway, bathroom, an original rug made of flat or round pebbles, sea pebbles is useful. Using a glue gun, multi-colored stones are glued onto a piece of carpet or linoleum. They are preferable of the same size, and stones of different sizes are selected for the "treatment" mat. If there are pebbles of various colors, then patterns, figures of animals, inscriptions, geometric shapes are laid out from it. Even a schoolchild can make such a rug. Similar carpets can be made from wine corks, multi-colored plastic drink caps.

Lace lampshades are made in various ways:

  • ready-made plafonds are fitted with them;
  • they are glued to balloons, which are then removed;
  • stretched over wire or forged frames;
  • lace ribbons are glued to a plastic shade.

White lace with spots can be easily made vintage by holding a little in strong tea or an infusion of onion peels. Knitted and guipure patterns on "Japanese" lantern chandeliers cast beautiful shadows on walls and ceilings.

Kitchen organizer

Wall organizer for storing spoons, knives, forks can be made of various fabrics, thick cellophane. Towel hooks are easy to make from old forks, clothespins, nailed to the board. Using the paper-weaving technique, they make shelves for spices, souvenirs in the kitchen, from old clothes hangers - original dish stands. Jars of cereals are screwed into lids, which are nailed to a wooden wall shelf, and plastic containers for bulk products are attached with magnets to the side of the refrigerator, above the countertop. Kitchen knives are attached to the magnetic board.

Perfect order or stylish design will not make a house warm and cozy, loved ones and things dear to the heart, such as designer things for the house with their own hands, will make it warm and cozy. Here you will find simple and easy to do, but very stylish ideas for using old boards, bright colors and wool residues.

Favorite fairy-tale characters or fictional animals drawn by a child, or maybe many beloved cats, are embodied in felt, knitwear, leather figurines. Both the living room and the children's room will liven up from such crafts.

I found an amazing master class from Nadezhda Necheukhina.

An amazingly beautiful bird, an amazing technique - a sewn toy and decoupage.

By the way, such a bird can hold your jewelry on its beak, it's a magpie!

Parts of the magpie are cut out on the fabric, sewn, turned inside out, stuffed with padding polyester. The wings are sewn on with a blind stitch. And the hole on the abdomen through which the magpie was stuffed is also sewn up with a blind seam. Sewn blank magpie covered with PVA glue and dried... This needs to be done to harden the bird.

And then decoupage of the bird is done with napkins chosen according to the color that suits your interior or your dress, or to the eyes of your girlfriend, whatever you want.

Nadezhda makes eyes out of beads and paints the bird with acrylics.

6 Shelves ... shelves

Each house has many small things: books, toys, accessories, figurines and other cute little things. They look beautiful and orderly on the shelves. Especially if these are designer shelves, especially if you made these shelves yourself, or simply ordered them from a neighboring furniture workshop.

7Pompons in the interior

Fluffy softness familiar from childhood, therefore pleasing to the eyes and sweet to the heart. Hats with pom-poms, pom-poms on scarves separated from their knitted owners and settled on the floor in the room in the form of pom-pom rugs or in the form of flowers in vases. Pompons on curtains and pillows, matched in color or, conversely, in contrast, look especially cozy.

8Decorative pillow

Easy to implement DIY home design ideas having made a pillow "Dumki", bolsters, "Turkish" pillows - they are complemented by sofas and kitchen corners. Cushions matched to a bedspread or carpet runner decorate, soften, and give individuality. It's easy to get carried away with amazing creative ideas for sewing decorative pillows, but design ideas are often laconic. I propose a scheme for creating a laconic and stylish pillow for the home.

9Frame of clothespins

It is difficult to imagine that this interesting ethnic thing was once just a mirror and just clothespins.

Successful implementation of ideas.

Everyone has their own home - the most comfortable, warm and comfortable one. We are already accustomed to the fact that in our house we are surrounded by comfortable and comfortable furniture, beautiful dishes, fine textiles, household appliances, lamps. All this and much more are common but necessary things. They give us light, warmth, in their environment we relax, rest, or, conversely, concentrate on something important. They are very important to us.

However, everyone wants their home to be special, not like the apartments of friends and neighbors. But the choice is not rich, because TVs, cabinets, stoves, refrigerators cannot shine with a variety of appearance, namely, they fill our rooms. Meanwhile, I really want individuality, originality, small but bright accents.

Now in stores you can find unusual things that are not so common in everyday life. Perhaps not everyone is still familiar with them, and life even without them seems luxurious and well-equipped. But, if you consider at least a few of these interesting things, then it becomes clear - how much they facilitate work in everyday life, make it interesting and exciting, how they save precious time, or even completely change the entire interior by their appearance alone, giving it style , modernity and amazing charm. After detailed consideration, these unusual useful things for the home will definitely appear in your kitchen, living room or bedroom.

And yet, the fantasies and bold ideas of those who are not indifferent cannot always be satisfied by production workers, or even simply - I want to do useful things with my own hands. And when such ideas are implemented, then absolutely amazing masterpieces are obtained.

The imagination of people is limitless, and the most famous companies can envy the skill of skilled hands. Although, frankly speaking, in order to do some unusual things with your own hands, special skill is not required, neatness and diligence in execution is enough. And if the fantasy is not as luxurious as we would like, then the ideas can always be spied on. The main thing is the desire to fill your home with interesting, attractive details, to breathe individuality into it, to decorate it with special "zest".

A very curious trick is the unusual use of ordinary things. Teapots and old shoes used as flower pots, aquariums, and coffee tables are well-known but always winning options for any home.

When we ourselves make useful, unusual things for the interior, the home atmosphere is filled with warmth and light, you want to come to such a house, here time flies unnoticed, because every house should have its own little miracle.

Our unusual, useful things will help make your life brighter, and maybe suggest new ideas for creativity.

2. Beautiful things for the home with your own hands: carpets

Perhaps the most pleasant thing about creating things for the house with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you acquire such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or any other motif of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And more than once.

The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it is not too demanding in care: it is not afraid of moisture and can be easily cleaned. In this case, the master chose vinyl fabric. It is heavy and durable enough to look like a true rug. What's more, the quality of vinyl is very impressive these days and is available in a wide variety of colors and interesting textures.

All necessary materials and tools:

  • Thick paper;
  • Vinyl upholstery fabric;
  • Scissors;
  • 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.

Procedure:

  1. Create a stencil out of paper. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the drawing itself on it. Don't worry about your artistic talent - a zebra skin doesn't have to look uniform or symmetrical. As a last resort, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed to cut.
  2. Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and trace the contours of the stripes with Krylon pens (spray paint or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue painting the areas inside the paths.
  3. Let the paint dry and you're done! To be sure that the pattern will stick, you can “seal” the carpet by spraying a clear coat of acrylic spray paint on it.

Krylon handles create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and adheres very securely. If you cannot buy them in your city, then use ordinary paint for fabrics or walls. As the next hero of our article.

He took a cheap white rug as a basis and decided to give it an interesting look with his own hands using a chevron pattern. All he needed was thin duct tape, scissors, a thick paintbrush, and two different shades of latex paint.

Finally, another inspiring example that uses an impromptu stamp instead of a stencil. The master had a rubber bath mat, remnants of wall paint (to achieve a vintage effect, it was slightly diluted with water), a roller and an old IKEA wool carpet. We look at the photo of what he managed to cook from these ingredients.

7. Turn photos into wall decor

It's so much cooler than just hanging your photos in frames! Your personal photos or any images you like from the Internet can turn into beautiful wall art for any room. To make such a decor with your own hands, you can apply any of the following methods.

  1. Find or buy a backing. It can be played by a thick sheet of polystyrene or expanded polystyrene (as in this case), a board and other materials at hand.
  2. Print a photo after editing its dimensions so that they are about 5 cm larger than the substrate. These "extra" centimeters will go to the folds.
  3. Cut the photo and backing into pieces if you want a modular set, not a whole picture. Otherwise, skip this item.
  4. Place the photo on a substrate and wrap the ends. The author of this product used double-sided tape to secure the photographs. You can attach with regular glue or other available media. The surface of the photos can also be treated with glue or glitter paste.

  1. Print the image and prepare the canvas to transfer it to.
  2. Stretch the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of Medium Gel to it. These gels are widespread and can be purchased at any home furnishing store today.
  3. Blend the photo onto the blurred canvas and press down. Leave so for several hours, but occasionally sprinkle with water from a spray bottle.
  4. Carefully, using your fingertips, begin to erase the back surface of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.

The result is a handsome, frayed look that will only give it a vintage look. It remains only to apply the last layer of the medium gel to it as a protective coating.

9. Succulents - DIY living decor for your home

A living wall of succulents is perhaps the most amazing DIY home craft you can make. Agree: if you saw it in someone's design of a living room or another room, you would not be able to remain indifferent!

Dekorin will tell you how to get this impressive and sustainable decor:

  1. You will need a shallow wooden planting container and metal mesh.
  2. To secure the mesh to the container, use an impromptu wooden frame that can be made from small planks or chips. Fasten with staples or nails.
  3. Prepare any for composition. They easily take root in the most difficult conditions and look most advantageous when you combine different shades and shapes of leaves. Common examples of succulents: aloe, various cacti, young or stone rose (Sempervivum), sedum (Sedum), grate (Orostachys), etc.
  4. Fill the container with soil and plant the plants of your choice in it. Use any cactus mixture for drainage.

Here are examples of home crafts that you can do yourself using the above method.
