To begin with, you need to saw on a circular quite a lot of square-shaped sticks. Approximately 16mm thick. If this house has six crowns, then you need 24 sticks. Our house is square in plan, so sticks are needed of the same length. The length of the sticks must be chosen according to the length of the future walls of the house. Plus 2 centimeters.

Then you need to give the sticks a cylindrical shape. This is usually done on a special machine. We don't have it, so we use a regular wood lathe.

The front and rear centers of the machine leave quite noticeable indentations when machining on the stick. Therefore, the ends of the sticks, where the indentations remained, need to be cut down. A centimeter on one side and a centimeter on the other. And so you need to process all 24 sticks.
In this picture, the grooves are clearly visible.

Then two indentations are cut in each stick.

Then we smear these grooves with "Joiner" glue (quick-drying PVA). If necessary, we also smear the entire length of the stick.

And glue it together. Crown after crown.

Until we assemble the whole frame. It will take about 15 minutes for the carpenter to dry out. Therefore, all this time the whole frame must be pressed from above. You can just use your hands. When everything is glued together, it should look like this.

Now we mark the slots for the door and windows.

And we cut it with a jigsaw.

Before cutting out the windows, we drill a hole in the wall of the house. We will then insert the file into it. Sawing window and door openings will just show us whether we glued the sticks tightly or not.

Where necessary, we cut with a knife.

As a result, we should get this.

Then we grind and trim the ends of the logs on a rotating plywood wheel with a sandpaper.

We paint the house with a strong manganese solution. It is possible only outside.

When the manganese dries up, we wipe the house with a sandpaper. So we have a color stretch. Some places are highlighted, others remain dark.

The result should be like this. Here we have blanks for two houses at once.

Then we cut out two triangular pediments from the fiberboard. The roof angle on most homes is 90 degrees. In the gable blank, you need to make two semicircular cutouts for sticks. They are made with a semicircular chisel.

Then birch bark is glued to these blanks. And already on it is embossed, depicting the boards and the structure of the tree. Embossing can be done with a very large needle. Then the embossed surface is painted with manganese, and the excess of the dye is erased with 646th solvent. You need to rub hard. Firmly pressing the solvent-soaked cloth to the birch bark. It should look like this.

Then windows are cut out of birch bark according to the size of the openings. Better two-layer. Then they need to be glued to each other and glued into the openings.

But the windows and gables are already glued into place.

Then we make the roof. The roof is made of birch bark on a cardboard base. Rows of scales are cut on the birch bark with two incisors. And thick cardboard is painted first with manganese, then with a non-aqueous stain for shine.

Skillful pens

The use of natural materials in the decor of the room always brings a romantic mood.

Moreover, with minimal costs, you will get maximum pleasure both from the process of creating original compositions and from an interesting result.

Technical features

Beautiful products can only come out if you pay special attention to the quality of the material. At the height of the summer season, a very large amount of bark of branches is eaten up by various insects, so they need to be harvested in the first month of spring or at the end of October.

After the branches are collected, you need to immediately start drying them in order to avoid deformation of the rod and bark within a month. This will take about 7-14 days, provided that the room temperature is maintained. An ordinary battery will help to speed up the process for several days if you spread branches on it.

Processing can be continued by opening the material with varnish or paint of the desired shade. There is a special varnish for wood, but if you don't find one, you can always use a colorless nail polish, which is relatively easy to obtain at retail outlets.

Master class: 10 examples of creativity

It's pretty hard to just take branches and immediately create a masterpiece from them that fits perfectly into the interior. Therefore, we offer several master classes that will help you to analyze in detail the stages of creating a particular craft.

Candlestick from tree branches

Before starting work, prepare:

• dried branches;
• low glass;
• glue gun;
• a candle;
• secateurs.

Getting started:

1. Search for suitable, not very thick branches, wash them and dry them properly, and then give them the same length with pruning shears.

2. Place a glass in front of you, apply glue to each branch and with gentle movements lean them against the glass, holding with your hands for about a minute. Glue each subsequent branch close to the previous one.

3. Now it's the candle's turn. It should be no higher than a glass. Insert the candle into the middle and the product is ready.

This is not the only candlestick option using twigs. The next option is much simpler. Only after drying, it is better to immediately paint the twigs in a golden or bronze color, and only then adjust them around a thick candle with a hot glue gun.

Photo frame

Such a necessary thing in any family as a frame for a photo can be made from dry twigs.

You will need:

• many twigs;
• wooden rectangle for the base;
• glue gun;
• various decorative elements to choose from.

How to do?

1. Glue the pre-dried branches with a glue gun to a wooden base. Fill in the parallel sides first, then the other two parallel sides, keeping the shape of the frame. The branches should be glued close to each other;

2. Take all the elements that you have prepared for decoration (we chose moss) and paste in any corner of the frame. You can distribute it in other places at your discretion. Now insert your photo into such an unusual frame.

Advice! Children can also be involved in the preparation and creation of such crafts by giving them very easy tasks - to collect twigs, spread with glue and apply.

You can make a photo frame with the following arrangement of branches:

And someone will like the following natural frame:

2. Attach the resulting hook structure with a self-tapping screw to the base of the hanger. If you are not going to use a hanger for heavy things, then instead of self-tapping screws, you can use special glue for wood;

Paint the hook branches with paint or open with varnish.

Flowerpot

3. Spray the entire piece of wood with polyurethane spray several times.

4. From the wall side, glue the felt piece with a hot glue gun.

5. Pull the rope through the holes and tie the knots at the bottom as tight as possible so that at one awkward moment the whole structure does not end up on the floor.

Lighting fixtures from branches

Chandeliers or lighting fixtures that are created using wooden branches will give your room a fabulous atmosphere.

You can make the lamp yourself. But when creating your masterpiece, remember about safety precautions.

You can make such a lamp yourself. You just need to determine what shape you want to give it. Will it be a snowflake lamp, a sconce made of twigs, or just a ball-shaped lamp.

Consider in stages the process of creating a spherical wooden chandelier:

1. You can buy decorative twigs at a specialty store, or find them in the park. Choose only twigs at least 9 cm long and with an unusual shape. You will also need a balloon, hot melt glue, cling film, pruning shears, a light bulb, and a shade.
2. Wrap the ball with cling film. Then paste over it with prepared twigs. When the glue is dry, pierce the ball and remove it.
3. Insert the base with the lamp inside the chandelier and fix it. The wooden lamp in the shape of a ball is ready.

In order to make a lamp from ordinary driftwood, you will need:

• dry branch, diameter from 3.5 cm;
• board;
• sockets and lamps;
• screws and nails;
• an engraver or knife, soldering iron, saw, pliers and screwdriver;

Let's consider creating a chandelier step by step.

The branch must be cleaned of bark and a groove made with an engraver or a wire knife. With a drill in the board we make holes for the screw and wire.

Branches that are at least 3.5 cm in diameter are cut into pieces 5 cm long. The middle must be drilled out and the cartridges must be inserted inside.

We connect one end of the wire to the "wooden" socket, and the other to the hole on the large branch. We do this with all the cartridges. We lay the wire along the groove and solder all the wires together. The lamp is ready.

Many of our compatriots supply photos of romantic European interiors with the phrase: "You can't forbid living beautifully." This is true if you have a good mood, fantasy and a desire to make your home cozy with your own hands. For these purposes, literally everything is suitable, for example, dry branches in a vase or in the form of a frame, which are unlimited in the garden. Our main task is to show readers how you can make an attractive decor from branches and decorate the interior beautifully at no cost.
The branches are suitable for everything - making furniture, jewelry, panels. Eco-design has been in the TOP of design preferences for many years, inheriting the tradition of exterior rustic style. This is not surprising at all, natural decorative materials are always perfect, and also great for creativity.
We advise you to decorate from natural materials:

• wall panels;
• paintings;
• furniture;
• small trinkets;
• festive decorations;
• lamps.

Wall panels

Eco-decor can be taken as the basis for a design project, it will look great. Note that the level of stylistic design depends only on talent, imagination and perseverance, since any products made from dry branches require careful implementation. Almost everything can be made from snags, wood scraps, various large dry branches, thin tree trunks - furniture, lamps, decor and, of course, wall panels.

The theme of the autumn forest was revealed many times by many artists, for example, Klimt. Fallen trees create a soothing atmosphere that encourages relaxation. Meanwhile, such a decor of a hallway, living room or bedroom made of dry branches resembling a forest can be decorated with bright elements at any convenient moment, they thematically revive the interior and bring natural beauty into it.

Festive home decor - wreaths

Dry branches in the interior will help to decorate rooms for Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter. With their help, you can decorate a living space. To create an original candlestick for a festive table for your home, take a sturdy branch that will stand steadily on a horizontal surface, paint it with metallized paint. Then apply glitter with varnish, fix the candlesticks with self-tapping screws. For these purposes, any decorative candles are suitable.

Furniture and lighting

Branches in the interior can find their place as accessories for original furniture, legs, stands, holders or frames for the mirror. It is better not to talk about furniture options, but to show interesting solutions invented by designers in different countries. Believe me, such home furnishings will never look inappropriate, as this is real designer furniture.

Branch paintings and small decor

An interesting solution that will allow you to avoid unnecessary waste of funds on wallpaper are pictures from branches. For example, birch branches in the interior look very elegant and Russian. With the help of willow scraps, you can create light "openwork" compositions. To do this, it is enough to make a frame from a wooden plank and attach the branches that are sized to fit using self-tapping screws or a stapler. Individual branches can be assembled into various shapes, creating a modern graphic installation, decorating paintings with available finishing materials.
