For a person with a rich imagination and creativity, the wall in the apartment is an artistic canvas. You can place various decorative elements on it, transforming the entire room. Having correctly decorated the surface, there is a chance to individualize the space, make the room beautiful, functional and comfortable. How to decorate walls with your own hands from scrap materials, the most original design ideas - all this will be discussed in the article.

Self-registration of an apartment or private house has several goals. The first is economic: decorating with improvised means is cheaper than buying professional facing products; in addition, you do not need to hire specialists to do the work (all decor elements are easy to do on your own, without having much knowledge and skills in repair). The second is aesthetic: the surface is original and expressive. The third is masking: irregularities and defects in the interior decoration can be easily hidden behind unusual crafts made of fabric, paper, plaster or foam.

Algorithm for decorating and decorating a room with your own hands

If you plan to decorate a bedroom, living room, nursery, bathroom or kitchen with your own hands, you need to take into account the features of these rooms.

So, for the kitchen, bathroom, you should choose moisture-resistant parts that can be easily cleaned from dirt. When decorating a nursery, it is better to use bright, colorful options. You need to take into account the style of the room, the theme of the idea. For example, for the new year, you can decorate the walls with snowflakes and spruce branches cut out of paper. But, creating a New Year's mood, you need to understand that after the holiday, these elements will have to be removed. Therefore, after dismantling, the decorations should not leave marks on the cladding. Experts advise watching a master class on decorating living rooms and wires.

All work is divided into stages:

1. think over the decor and present it;
2. choose a finishing option taking into account creative skills, financial condition;
3. evaluate the possibility of creating a planned composition with your own hands from improvised means;
4. prepare the material, the necessary tools;
5. create a sketch of the exterior cladding;
6. prepare the walls for the bas-relief;
7. complete the finishing.

Paper options

Decorating an apartment with vinyl overhead figures and photographs is now very important. There is a wide selection of vinyl butterflies, flowers and leaves on sale. Fix the samples with mechanical fasteners. Such cladding is expensive. In order to save money, you can cut out similar elements with your own hands from paper using stencils, butterfly patterns and fix the products with glue or double-sided tape. The material should be selected with a density of 140 g / m2.

The algorithm is described below:

• Cover the flat surface with plastic wrap in several layers.
• Dilute PVA glue with water.
• Place the paper sheet on the foil and saturate it with glue using a foam sponge.
• After drying, turn the paper over and do the same with the other side. The product is durable, thermoplastic.
• Cut out a figurine. To add volume, the product is warmed up with a household hairdryer and gently bent. When the paper cools down, the dent will remain.

Some make volumetric small paper decor by cutting and gluing figures of bird wings or flower petals. An interesting option would be to decorate one of the painted walls in the hall with a photo wallpaper.

Imitation brick on the wall

Brick-faced walls look expensive, cozy and stylish. But this finishing option is not cheap. Therefore, you can make an imitation of brickwork at the TV from ordinary plaster. The process is laborious, but creative. The imitation is achieved by forcing the strips into the still uncured plaster layer.

The application technology is described below:

Also, to imitate brickwork with your own hands, corrugated cardboard is suitable. It is cut in the required quantity, keeping to the size of the side parts of the brick. Each cardboard product is coated with PVA glue and fixed on the wall in the toilet or corridor. To complete the look, paper napkins will help, the top layer of which serves as a decoupage.

The embossed stencil can also replace brick. The wall is being plastered. Then the stencil is moistened with water and pressed against the treated surface. This option is very simple and cheap.

Imitation masonry

Natural stone finishes are expensive. This material can be imitated using papier mâché. First you need to decide on the location of the cladding. Think over how the elements will end: randomly or in a straight line.

For papier mâché, egg cartons are required. Ovals and circles are cut out of cardboard. It is better to make them crooked and of different sizes for a more natural look. The optimal diameter is 7-10 centimeters.

Next, the cut out parts are fixed on the wall with wallpaper or PVA glue. It is necessary to arrange the elements so that there are gaps between them. On top of the first layer, the second is attached. Then they start preparing the paper pulp. Newspapers, paper, cardboard are torn and put into a container. Pour boiling water over the raw materials, put on fire and bring to a boil. Stir and allow to cool. With a spatula, the mass is applied to the blanks of artificial stones. You need to start from the edges and gaps, smoothly moving to the center. The workpiece must have a smooth surface with no protruding pieces. Papier mache dries for several days. After this time, the coating is treated with a putty and sanded. The craft is covered with paints of brown, orange, gray or red shades. The gaps between the stones give off a darker color. After the paint has dried, a layer of clear varnish is applied.

Egg pack decor

The walls, decorated with egg trays, turn out to be interesting. For a two-meter surface, you will need 7 egg cartons, PVA glue, acrylic paints in three shades, acrylic glue in aerosol.

First, slightly moisten one package from the spray bottle. Then it is laid on a flat surface and pressed with your hands, giving it a flat shape. You can use a press for this, having previously wrapped the material with newspaper.

The wall must be prepared: cleaned and primed. Apply glue to the tray and the area to be treated. Glue the fragment with electrical tape, without adhering to the pattern of the cells. After the glue dries, the decor is covered with a primer or white paint. It is important that all grooves are high-quality painted over. On top it is worth applying paint of a different selected color. For example, to add color, tint with a silver dye. The result is fixed with acrylic varnish.

Decorating a room with a tree

A popular option for transforming the interior in the hallway with your own hands is the use of wood panels. The most convenient material is considered to be laminate and lining. They are easy to install and have a low price. Such cladding not only performs a decorative function, but also acts as a good sound and heat insulator. Learn more about laminate on the wall.

You can arrange tree elements vertically, horizontally and diagonally. Craftsmen give advice on combing the material to increase the durability of the finish. To do this, cut half of the laminate strips in half. First, the whole slab is laid. Two halves are attached to it. Then they fix the whole again and so on. It turns out an original pattern. Paired short strips evenly distribute the load on the fasteners.

Fabric decor on the walls

An interesting option is to upholster the walls with fabric with your own hands. When choosing a material, you need to pay attention to linen, jacquard, jute and cotton. Polyamide, polyacryl, viscose, polyester retain their attractiveness for a long time. Synthetic products are characterized by density, the ability to hide small defects. They are highly resistant to moisture and ultraviolet light. Mixed fabrics are popular, which include viscose and natural fibers. It is recommended to buy rolls 100 meters long and 1.4-2.8 meters wide.

It should be borne in mind that such decoration is not suitable for the hallway, bathroom and kitchen.

To stretch the canvas on the wall with your own hands, you will need the following elements:

• hammer;
• screwdriver;
• drill;
• building level;
• dowel nails;
• pencil;
• ruler.

Thus, the design of the room is easy to do with your own hands. To do this, you need to show a little imagination. The work can be done from available tools. So, from papier mache they create an imitation of stone, from plaster - brick. The main thing is to observe the technology of finishing the niche, to be neat and attentive. For a video about imitation of a brick on the wall, see below.

Often, the design of the walls requires novelty, since the decoration is morally outdated. The original wall decor with your own hands from scrap materials is the best way to add novelty without major repairs and serious investments.

It happens that a designer or decorator will show sketches, tell in all epithets how great a room will look, but the end result does not live up to expectations. The best way is to do what you want yourself to do.

The unusually decorated wall will be complemented by curtains and cushions, covers and capes, sewn with your own hands. The author's decor from scrap materials can be changed at will, for example, for a certain holiday or for a change of season. In the spring, it is wise to decorate the wall with a blooming twig or homemade flowers in vases made from bottles.

Winter decor suggests snow and New Year variations. It will replace autumn leaves flying in a whirlwind along the wall, and in summer it can be butterflies or birds.

The easiest way is to cut out of paper or paint these objects on the wall using a stencil. This technique is available even to those who cannot draw. The main thing is to apply the markup to create an attractive composition. Individual objects can be of the same size and shape, but it is better when they are reduced or depicted from different angles.

Do-it-yourself wall decoration from scrap materials is performed in any available technique, but this is also a reason to learn something new. Stencil drawing is the easiest to do, especially with aerosol spraying. But you need to work carefully so that smudges and sags do not form from excess paint.

Interesting decoration of the room with your own hands

DIY room decor

Stencil panels often combine flat tree outlines and volumetric elements:

• flowers;
• leaves;
• birds;
• animals;
• insects;
• clouds, etc.

Thin plastic, cardboard and colored paper are suitable for the production of overlay elements. If your imagination is not enough, use examples from our photo gallery.

Decorative plaster from ordinary putty

Do-it-yourself wall decor from improvised means at home also implies replacing expensive types of plaster with ordinary building mixtures, but using original equipment or tools.

Everyone knows that if you attach an object to wet liquid plaster or paint on the wall and tear it off abruptly, you get a beautiful print. A flat sheet gives rise to nodules, a mesh with its characteristic pattern, crumpled foil will give an unexpected do-it-yourself wall decor.

Working with a spatula, trowel, trowel or different roller attachments on wet filler with dyes, you can get an effect similar to “Venetian” or textured plaster. The plastic mass is washed out along the surface of the wall until the required pattern is obtained with circular movements or patting.

All excess is removed with a spatula. For additional volume, paint or varnish is used. After grinding, you will get an original design of the walls in the hallway, living room or bedroom.

We propose to master a master class on decorating walls with plaster.

We carry out decorative stone from facade plaster

There are many ways to add volume to your wall decor. In the hallway, on a solid wall, it is easy to independently make some kind of masonry from the facade plaster or to make an original panel.

First, on the fortified surface, you need to outline the contours of the future drawing, outline the future stones. These are objects of arbitrary shape, which need to be given volume in the process of work, so special artistic skills are not required.

It is advisable to cover adjacent surfaces with masking tape so as not to stain. To create a "stone" texture, a thick plaster solution is needed. You will have to work quickly to achieve the desired effect when shaping the shape of the stones. Roughness is processed with a trowel and metal brush.

The finished surface will become more believable after touching up. It is necessary to work out the seams between the "stones" and add volume to the entire decorative finish. First, a light tone is applied with arbitrary spots, then dark colors will give depth, the middle tone will fill in the gaps in the wall decor with your own hands.

Original wall decor with your own hands from scrap materials

For the embodiment of interesting compositions, large costs are not required, a creatively thinking person sees in everything a way of realizing creative inclinations. Just as stone cutters find a special angle of ornamental minerals to polish a "landscape" cut for a picture, so a beautiful piece of fabric or wood cut becomes a picture in a frame in the hands of a creative person.

The most interesting is perceived not one decorative canvas, but several similar objects that form a whole "gallery". Handmade beads and necklaces made of beads and gems do not have to be hidden in boxes. They will be a great decor for a bedroom or dressing room if you place them in frames on black velvet against one wall. Alternatively, hang them on hooks, using a beautiful fabric as a background in the wall decor.

After sewing curtains and upholstery upholstery, pieces of upholstery with a beautiful pattern remain, for example, tapestry, chenille or jacquard. Inserts of interior materials on the walls will not only duplicate a sofa, armchair or corner, they will create a kind of "roll call" in the overall composition.

Wall decoration in the form of paintings made of fabric fits well into the interior of the bedroom and children's room. Depending on the plot, you can play with the texture of the fabric. Striped jersey is suitable for a zebra, geometric shapes are a giraffe, a leopard is spotted, and a panther is black velvet. Sparkling eyes will complement pebbles or sparkles.

As a home decor with your own hands from scrap materials, use a composition of several objects united by a common color, plot or pattern. For example, bulky fruits can be sewn from bright fabrics, and the leaves for them can be made from common material. The common thing can be frames of the same shape, as well as the background on which all these berries, fruits and citrus slices will be located. It is not necessary to hang such pictures close, a common theme will compositionally unite the entire interior.

A similar effect can be obtained by picking up scraps of laminate or veneer chipboard with the texture of expensive wood. These do-it-yourself decorative panels will complement any interior design that uses the beauty of natural wood.

Fabric pictures look good, echoing in materials in sofa cushions, upholstery of ottomans and banquets. Painted scarves, handmade batik or Japanese silk with a typical Asian pattern can also become art objects, and not just DIY interior crafts from scrap materials.

Tip: Not all fabric paintings require full frames. It is enough to stretch them onto rectangular or round plywood or foam templates and hang them on the wall in a specific order.

Beautiful embroidery in the form of icons, portraits or paintings is a great way to decorate walls. The embroidery is placed singly and as an exposition made by hand, even if some of them were done by someone else.

Talented children's drawings within the framework can also become a worthy decoration of the interior, especially if the child is studying at an art school. Having selected several successful works and given them a certain compositional plot, it is easy to make a dynamic interior in a nursery or a hallway.

Mirror elements in the decor of rooms

In interior design, a mirror is a completely independent element that takes a worthy place in any room. However, it is not necessary to hang ordinary mirrors in every room, they look much more interesting in different versions:

• mirrored wall for visual expansion of the room;
• rotating mirrors of an unusual shape on stands;
• mirror tiles as wall decoration;
• handmade carved frames for mirrors of different sizes and sizes;
• foil and mirror paper stickers that form whole compositions.

An installation that includes clocks, mirrors and decor, united by a common idea or intricate geometry, will look good on a free wall. Other DIY home crafts and decor from scrap materials can organically fit into such an unusual solution.

Framed photo as an element of decor

Photography is a traditional way of decorating walls with your own hands for a home from improvised means. At the same time, photos from a family album are not always used. A separate topic is travel or personal achievements, which are framed on the wall as "evidence".

No matter how unique the photograph itself, its presentation in the overall composition is important. You can choose white frames or wooden frames, they can vary in size and shape, but they should have something in common, including the background if the photos are small.

In the center of this composition, place the largest photo and the most significant event. Other photos will form around the central subject. It is interesting to study family photos that reflect changes over time - how the child grew up or how the family was created in terms of addition. If this is a family "board of honor", it should reflect the main stages of the ascent to success. The victories associated with creativity can be confirmed in the hand-made things along the wall.

The choice of a way to decorate an apartment should be somehow tied to the lifestyle of the owners, their tastes and preferences. Sometimes an interesting decor seems completely out of place in one room, but it will find a worthy place in another room. If you were inspired by some idea of ​​decorating an apartment with your own hands from scrap materials, feel free to take on its implementation. Try to do everything with inspiration, slowly and carefully. Even if something didn't work out the first time, work on improving the technique, and everything will work out.

50 photos of interesting DIY room decor ideas:

The interior can be functional or comfortable, but it is the small details that can bring a sense of coziness and unique features to the room. After all, a home is not just a place where we satisfy our vital needs, but a kind of continuation of our individuality. There are many ideas for decoration, but we have chosen 12 of the most beautiful options for decorating a room with our own hands, which everyone can implement on their own.

1. Garden in a bottle or florarium

Potted flowers look cute, but to bring a unique touch to your room, we suggest going a little further and putting the garden in a bottle. This is an amazing solution that allows you to grow whimsical plants that will not survive under normal conditions.

In a sealed container with a minimum amount of air, a humid atmosphere is created, ideal for certain types of flora. These include: calamus, royal begonia, bromeliad cryptantus, Pellionia, common ivy and others. When choosing plants, be guided not only by their external properties, but also by the height - it is necessary that it corresponds to the size of the container.

Any glass container with a neck, which can be easily closed and convenient for planting plants, can become a "home" for a garden.

So, first you need to pour drainage material and earth into the bottle. Think over the composition, then use a spoon with an extended handle to dig holes. Next, using two sticks, place the sprouts in them, and after tamping the ground, spray them. The florarium is ready!

2. Geometric shelves

Sometimes it is better to abandon massive bookcases, using simple compositions of geometric shapes in the interior instead. Due to their brevity, such shelves will perfectly fit into any design, without causing any difficulties during creation.

They are made like ordinary shelves - from flat boards of fiberboard or wood, and due to their unusual shape they do not require additional decorations to attract attention. Also, to diversify the design, you can, for example, hang the structure on a hook. Just do not put easily breakable objects there.

3. We decorate the wall with nails and threads

As strange as this phrase may sound, the decor of nails and threads is a real-life trend called stringart. This solution is suitable for decorating walls, pieces of furniture, boards. At the same time, creative people have where to turn - you can not only come up with any composition, but also randomly wind a strand, creating a unique piece.

You will need threads, nails, and a base to drive them into. But before starting work, you need to come up with a sketch of the composition, clearly highlighting the main lines. Following them, metal hooks are installed, between which the strand passes.

There are many options for drawings: words, silhouettes, signs, abstractions and even detailed paintings with a varied palette of colors. The main thing is that you will not find the same decor in anyone else.

4. Hooks for clothes from cutlery

Why not give old spoons and forks that are not suitable for direct use a second chance by turning them into a practical decor item? With the help of simple manipulations, cutlery will become unusual clothes hooks in the hallway, attracting the attention of guests.

You can give a curved shape to a metal object with a hammer or a vise, and for installation on a base, it is enough to nail the part with an ordinary nail.

The forks look interesting, the prongs of which are directed in different directions. With a certain skill and the availability of the necessary equipment, names or simple patterns can be engraved on the hooks.

5. Ottomans from old magazines

And although today the Internet and television are the main sources of information, quite recently people learned about the spheres of life of interest from magazines, of which more than a dozen have accumulated in many homes since those times. Instead of throwing away the waste paper, we suggest making a comfortable ottoman out of it.

Such a piece of furniture, in addition to magazines about gardening or construction, consists of a wooden base (which you can make yourself from a carpenter's board), a pillow and two old belts that tighten the entire structure.

It is recommended to select editions of the same format, but even different ones will look very original. At the same time, depending on the appearance of the elements and the theme of the magazines, the ottoman will fit into a modern or more vintage interior.

6. Thread lampshade

It happens that you go into a store behind a chandelier: there seem to be many options, but prices bite, and the models presented do not fit into the interior. If you want to decorate your house with something unusual, you can make a lampshade with your own hands using only yarn, glue, plastic wrap and a balloon.

The balloon must be inflated, wrapped with plastic wrap, and over it with threads, leaving a small hole. Next, glue is applied to the workpiece, after which the base must be removed. The final stage is the electrical connection to the lampshade.

Such a shade can be used for both a chandelier and a lamp. Try not to overdo it with threads - the structure must be strong, while leaving gaps. White yarn is suitable for a modern interior, and multi-colored will create bright accents.

7. Curtains for doorways

In rooms where it was decided to abandon doors to save space, small curtains or curtains can be used as a light partition. Moreover, there are many design options, so it will not be difficult to fit such an element into the interior design.

Instead of a solid, albeit transparent, fabric, it is better to opt for curtains made of ribbons, felt beads (for a cozy atmosphere) or glossy details gathered in a chain (this will add a little polish).

It will not be difficult to create such a product, the main thing is to decide on the material and color scheme. The partition is usually installed on a mounted crossbar, which provides easy movement if necessary.

8. Possibilities of decorative tape

Scotch tape can not only glue paper, but also create aesthetic geometric compositions in the interior. It is much more convenient to use, and the variability of colors and patterns only expands the possibilities of decor.

The paper tape is more suitable for modern design, in which such unusual solutions look the most organic. Using scotch tape, you can, for example, circle pieces of furniture, diversify monochromatic surfaces, "write" words or phrases, and even carry out zoning.

It will also be possible to decorate smaller details, such as vases or photo frames, since the products on the modern market are presented in different sizes. It all depends on the imagination, as well as the possibilities of the room.

9. Decoupage in the interior

Probably, many have heard of this simple, aesthetic version of the decor, only in the context of small crafts. But with the help of napkins and glue, you can easily decorate larger items, creating a unique atmosphere in the interior.

Decoupage decorates flat surfaces of furniture, tiles, glass. The drawing depends on the style of the room: for example, floral patterns are suitable for classics and Provence, newspaper clippings can be used for a loft, and bright combinations of various pictures for pop art.

In your work you will need: an image on thin paper, PVA glue, a degreaser and acrylic varnish to securely fix the decor on the object. It is better to practice beforehand, as with inaccurate application, bubbles or other traces may remain.

10. Garlands for every day

Glowing lights are not only a New Year's attribute. They can be used for everyday decor as well, creating real magic in the room.

Garlands turn into a kind of night light if you place them in a glass container, like a jar or vase. You can also hang them on the headboard, but the lights on the canopies look even more spectacular. Just remember to be safe and make sure the adjacent material does not heat up.

Wall-mounted garlands look good with Polaroid photographs, illuminating them beautifully. By fitting such lighting into the interior of the room, it is important to observe the line between festive and everyday design.

11. Frame for illuminated mirror

This type of mirrors are called dressing rooms, as they illuminate the stars as much as possible during the application of makeup and are often used in the corresponding rooms. But even in the living space, the illuminated frame has found its place, becoming a popular design solution.

You can fit the item into a bedroom, but it looks best in a modern bathroom. To make a product, you will need a wooden frame, lamps, wires, and the ability of an electrician.

Please note that during installation it is necessary to use fluorescent lamps, since ordinary ones create a lot of heat.

12. Candles in the interior

Of course, electric lighting is much more practical, but candles are unlikely to ever lose their mystical charm, continuing to act as an independent element of decor.

But using several candles in the interior is too trivial. We are talking about a whole composition that will fit, rather, into the classical style, bringing in it the romance of ancient castles.

This kind of lighting looks amazing, set up in several rows and placed on a separate shelf. To heighten the effect, you can hang the support from the ceiling, carefully choosing a safe place - jokes with fire are bad, and dripping wax can be inconvenient. But this is where the disadvantages of such a decor end, because a lot can be forgiven for a spectacular appearance.

What to use for crafts?

DIY home decor from scrap materials enriches the interior. The kitchen is a place that brings the whole family together. In this room, you can paint walls, hang photos, decorate furniture, a kitchen apron, etc. In the absence of design education, stencils can be used. An empty wall is decorated with a panel or painting on a kitchen theme.
It is better to decorate the living room with the whole family. Ideas bring people together. We offer, as an option, to cut out the first letter of the family name from thick cardboard and decorate it with paper flowers, pom-poms, and beads. The letter is framed like a photo and hung on the wall. Various words are collected from such letters: love, family, home.

Decorating in the form of vases helps to achieve a transformation of the interior. Old bottles are used for decoration. The elements are wrapped with twine and decorated with flowers. To create a room decor, use sofa cushions, covers for which you can make yourself. Such things add coziness.

The bedroom is a place of relaxation. Don't overload it with decorations. A few items will suffice. The wall of the room is decorated with family photos, and a homemade patchwork bedspread is placed on the bed. Bedside rugs should be designed in the same style. An original solution is the use of fabric birds, which are hung over the bed by satin ribbons.

The bathroom is a place of cleanliness and personal care. You can decorate it with shells, pebbles. A lot of things and accessories are stored in this room, so you can make homemade panel organizers. As shelves for storage, you can use wicker baskets, screwed upside down to the wall. Original towel hooks can be made from various materials: wood knots, wrenches. The main thing is not to get out of the general design of the room.

The design of the nursery is due to its size. To create the interior of a children's room, bright things should be used. It is decorated with homemade toys, photos, bedspreads, paintings on the walls, and unusual lamps.

Along the edge of its circumference, glue the beads in rows so that a glass forms. If you put a shaped candle in this glass, it will turn into a beautiful candlestick. This decorative element has a big plus. Thanks to the beads, it shimmers beautifully when the candle is lit.

To create a garland, you will need thick colored cardboard, thick thread, a needle, and scissors. Using a stencil, cut circles d = 10 cm. The circles are strung on threads of the required length. The threads are connected to each other in a curtain and fixed on the window frame.

We suggest you make a box out of plastic canvas. Canvas is a material for embroidery and crafts. It has the size of A4 sheet. The canvas has a different number of perforations. For work, you will need the workpiece itself, threads, a needle, a piece of fabric and scissors. On the canvas you can embroider with a cross or satin stitch. From the canvas, make the details of the future box and decorate them with your favorite embroidery method. Connect the details with threads with a needle. The canvas box is ready, it needs to be stored on a shelf. Without a doubt, it will become the main decoration of your home interior.

Wicker rug

Tapestry technology allows you to create a rug at home with your own hands from any available means. For example, old clothes are cut into ribbons. This option is called "grandmother's" rug. For crafts, you should choose a durable material, and do the thread broaching by hand.

Prepare cardboard 500x500 mm. Sew it with thread. With the first thread secured, start weaving the tapestry. After finishing the last circle, turn the rug inside out and sew string around the perimeter to cover the ends of the threads.

Planters from packages

From the materials at hand, which sometimes accumulate at home, they make pots for an indoor flower. For DIY crafts, you need paper bags, wooden skewers, scissors, rope, glue gun, containers (for example, you can use a mayonnaise jar).

From paper bags, make blanks in the form of strips with a size of 70x300 mm. Using skewers, make tubes from the blanks. Fix the corners with glue. Wrap the sides of the container in a paper bag. Turn it upside down. Fix 8 tubes to the base. Return the future planter to its normal position. Fold the tubes up, pressing them firmly against the sides of the planter. It remains to braid the main tubes with the remaining ones in a checkerboard pattern. At the top, the pot is pierced, a rope is threaded through the holes and the planter is hung on the wall of the room.

Cloth hanger

The household always needs hangers. We suggest you do a few of them. For crafts you will need:

• wire hangers;
• satin ribbons in contrasting colors;
• piece of fabric;
• scissors;
• needle and thread;
• glue;
• synthetic winterizer.

Draw the outline of the hanger on the piece of fabric. Leaving a small gap, cut 2 pieces. Sew the blanks together to make a cover. Wrap the hook of the hanger with a satin ribbon, securing it with glue. Place the cloth cover on the hanger. Fill the inner space with padding polyester. Sew up the hole. Make a bow out of a contrasting satin ribbon and secure it at the base of the crochet hook. The fabric hanger is ready. You can hang delicate things on it.

Mirror frame

There is always a mirror in the house. Most often it is located in the hallway, bathroom or bedroom. Decorating ideas are endless. The mirror can be beautifully decorated with newspaper tubes, broken pieces of porcelain or tiles, colored glass, shells, buttons, beads, hemp, etc. Transparent silicone glue must be used to fix the elements.

Decoupage

Do-it-yourself room design from scrap materials can be made using decoupage technique. We suggest you decorate a small mirror in a wooden frame:

• Sand the frame with sandpaper.
• Cover the prepared surface of the decor element with white acrylic paint.
• After the paint has dried, apply a layer of decoupage glue to the surface.
• Cut the decoupage card to fit the frame and glue it to the surface.
• Apply the next coat of decoupage varnish.
• Sand the edges of the frame and cover with craquelure. The paint will dry and crack.
• Apply a contrasting shade of paint to the cracked surface.
• You can select the borders of the frame and put blots on its surface.
• Cover the frame with a glossy varnish.

Decor from plastic spoons

For crafts, it is better to use a round mirror. Cut off the handles from the plastic spoons, leaving the scoops. Glue them in several rows around the entire perimeter of the mirror. Spray paint your decor. Instead of spoons, you can take buttons, beads, shells, clothespins.

Ring decor

DIY decor from available tools can be inexpensive. Cut rings of the same width from plastic pipes. Process the edges. Take the nylon cover. This will be the base of the construction. Attach the first row of rings to the lid. Attach the second and subsequent rows to the already glued rings. At the end of the work, we recommend that you decorate the decor with sequins. Fix the mirror in the center.

Rope decor

To translate the idea, you need a hemp rope. Cut the base out of the cardboard. It should be larger than the mirror itself. Fix the mirror in the center of the base. Apply clear silicone glue to the base. Fix the hemp loop by loop. The result is a mirror that can be used to create a nautical interior for a room.

Glass decor

DIY home decor from scrap materials includes painting. To work, you will need stained glass paints, a glass outline, glitter, alcohol, cotton swabs, toothpicks and silicone glue. Before starting work, decide on a drawing. Transfer it to a mirror using carbon paper. Select the drawing with a path on the glass. Remove irregularities with alcohol. After the outline has dried, paint the pattern with stained glass paints, spreading them out with a toothpick. The paints should dry for about 3 days. After that, the decor is complemented with glass beads or glitter.

Framing with beads

Beads are used to decorate the mirror. Outline the future frame with masking tape. Apply silicone glue to the resulting border. Pour the beads onto the paper and spread them over the glue strip. Carefully peel off the tape and let the work dry well.

Decorating walls with simple materials

The atmosphere of the interior can be changed by paying special attention to the decoration of the walls. To do this, you only need rollers, paints and colors. It is not necessary to paint the surface of all walls. Sometimes it is enough to select a part of it. Walls are decorated in different ways: with painting, using panels, photos, natural materials, baguettes, paper butterflies, interesting hooks and other materials at hand.

Stencil decor

This method of wall decoration is considered the easiest. Stencils are made by hand from thick paper, Whatman paper or plastic. Patterns can be found on the Internet. The stencil is pressed tightly against the wall and sprayed with paint from a spray can.

Tip: apply paint in a thin layer so as not to smudge the pattern and avoid smudges!
