For many, a personal plot today is not only a vegetable garden, but also a place for family recreation. I would like to arrange it so that everyone is comfortable, and the children also have fun.
Wood is often used as a material for landscape decoration. Moreover, it is not necessary to buy it.
You can use waste from the construction of outbuildings, cut down wood, wooden pole, driftwood from a nearby forest, etc.
Moreover, you can make crafts from wood with your own hands.
Facilities
Gazebo, pergola, sandbox, veranda, well - these and other structures made of wood look very impressive. To make them, you can use timber, slats, logs.
But that's all enough traditional materials. Or you can look in the forest for tree trunks blown down by the wind, cut the logs to the same length, remove the bark (or not) and dig them into the ground, having previously treated the underground part with a special compound that will protect the tree from rotting.
The roof of the gazebo can be made of straw or willow. The result will be something like a bungalow. Very creative.
Track
On summer cottages Crafts made from wood cuts are popular. This could be the wall of a gazebo, part of a fence, garden sculptures. And also this suitable material for the garden path.
You need to cut a log or several logs crosswise. The circles can have different diameters, but the thickness should be the same for all. Thin logs and branches need to be cut to the same thickness.
If the wood is worn down inside by insects, it is better not to use it, as such a path will not last long.
For the future road, you need to dig a trench 10 cm deep. Its length and width are arbitrary, at the request of the owners. Fill the trench with sand and compact it. First lay the cuts with the most large diameter. There are smaller ones between them.
You need to use saw cuts from branches to fill the remaining free space. Fill the cracks with earth or sand. The path will be more interesting if lawn grass seeds are sown in the ground between the cuts.
Fencing
Can be used for fencing wooden picket fence– more or less straight sticks with a diameter of up to 5 cm. To do this, collect branches in the forest and remove the bark from them. If some of them have small knots or spikes at the end, it will be even more interesting.
The fence can be not only external, but also inside the site for zoning the space. This can be an openwork slatted wall, along which, if desired, you can plant climbing plants or hang pots of petunia or hanging plants.
Bridges
Of course, the first to appreciate the semicircular bridges in the country are children. But also the kind of adults decorative elements soothes and soothes. It’s good if there is an artificial pond on the site. The bridge will look more natural.
But there are some nuances.
- Firstly, for such a craft you need quite a lot of logs.
- Secondly, not every owner knows how to make a bridge of a more complex modification, for example, a semicircular one.
- Thirdly, you can’t just go into the forest and cut down trees; this requires permission from the relevant authorities, and this is quite expensive.
Flowerbed
A stump from a cut tree, a trunk, a log, or a massive log can be used as a flower bed. To do this, you need to hollow out a recess using a chisel and hammer.
Note!
If it is a stump, then a recess is hollowed out on the cut; if it is a lying log, then in its side part. Can be turned old driftwood into a strange animal. Soil is poured into the hole and seedlings are planted.
Garden furniture
Wooden garden crafts can become quite functional if they serve as garden furniture. Of course, to make furniture you need to have certain skills in working with wood and professional tools.
The same logs and logs are suitable as starting materials; a stump can make an excellent bench. For the top of a garden table, you can use thick plywood.
Since all these items will be in the open air around the clock, it is necessary to take care of moisture protection, protection from mold and drying out. And all surfaces must be carefully polished and sanded so that splinters do not spoil your vacation outside the city.
Playground
You can arrange it around the stump of a cut down tree. The stump itself can easily be turned into a house for gnomes, equipping it with a beautiful tiled roof, door, windows and other accessories. When searching for photos of wooden crafts on the Internet, it is easy to find examples of such houses.
Around the house you can place various garden wooden sculptures and toys: a rocking horse, a car, animals made from round saw cuts. And of course a sandbox with a roof.
Note!
Older children can be involved in arranging a playground by teaching them how to use a hammer, plane and other tools. Children's crafts made from wood will appeal to them, their friends, and adults.
On the playground, with the help of logs and logs, you can create a real training base if you arrange and dig them in the form of a ladder, lay out a labyrinth, make a swing, hang the logs on chains 20 cm from the ground and build a swinging path. It all depends on the amount of material and the imagination of the owners.
It is only important to follow safety precautions and use only strong wood for any element of the playground. The bases of all sports equipment and buildings must be properly concreted. All knots and nicks have been sawed off and sanded.
A wide variety of wooden crafts for the cottage and garden can be viewed on the Internet. The main thing is to have quality material.
Photos of wood crafts
Note!
Good afternoon. Today we start uploading articles on the topic of DIY wood crafts. In this first article I want to show you what simple crafts can be made from wood - both for children and adults. Many ideas fit for labor classes at school- for boys. Some ideas will work for school competition crafts made from natural materials. Some wooden crafts can become decorating your dacha or yard. Here you will find a storehouse of inspiration and joy in anticipation of such interesting and simple work. In this article I will prove what to do beautiful crafts made of wood everyone can. Because here you will find simple and feasible tasks. Even a frail woman with a manicure can do half of the crafts in this article. So - let's fall in love with wooden creativity.
Let's start with simple magic.
tree + sun
Crafts that glow with love.
Here are the simplest and cutest ones country crafts made of wood. For the craft, you need to cut a log (ask when you are sawing the firewood with a grinder to make several thin cuts). Or you can do it without cutting - just take a board of any size.
We drill holes in the wood so thick that a store-bought glass pebble will fit into it. Such sets of multi-colored decorative glass stones are sold - in the gift department, and in the department where there are candles, vases and everything for holiday decor.
You can simply drill such holes with glass into a board and hang it on an apple tree. You can drill such holes in the fence - if the sun shines into it at least once a day at a low angle.
That's very beautiful. Magically. Like in fairyland. Your children will be delighted with this wooden craft.
Simple wooden crafts
from log cuts.
If you have logs being cut into firewood in your yard, you are in luck. You can get priceless craft material for free. Ask the men to cut you flat cuts from both small and large logs. Lovingly stack them away from the woodpile and start dreaming up future wood crafts. For example, let it be wooden owls. It's easy to do and looks beautiful. The saw cuts can be nailed to each other. You can put them on liquid nails (like glue).
The surface of the cuts can be rough and unsanded (as in the photo with the bunnies craft). Can you polish it? sandpaper and even varnish such ornamental material. Or paint it the color you want.
From large saw cuts you can make large country wood crafts. And small log houses (made of thinner branches and logs) are suitable for miniature crafts - for example, these birds. You can cut branches of this thickness yourself with a hacksaw - manually, without a chainsaw.
Log cuts can become a canvas for art installations. Such wooden crafts-pictures can be made from any natural material. Go to the river and find smooth, flat stones. They will become the source interesting crafts. The stones can be easily painted with felt-tip pens, office fat markers or just gouache (after work, fix the gouache with hairspray or nail polish).
Here's another way to make beautiful AIR crafts from wooden cuts. Lacy through cutting with an electric jigsaw (photo with craft Maple Leaf) looks simply magical.
Here is a small master class from which you can see how the process of cutting out openwork patterns on a thick cut of wood occurs.
First we outline the stencil with a pencil. Then we use a drill to drill holes in the key nodes of the drawing. And then we use a jigsaw to move from one holey node to another.
You can come up with a device yourself which will help you cut wood products using a conventional drill. Do it yourself electric jigsaw. Holding the comfortable handles with your hands, you simply move the device - following the lines of your drawing. The thinner the drill, the more small parts You can cut out the drawing with it. Well thought out.
Or you can buy a jigsaw– it costs on average 100 dollars. You can find it and over 50, we don’t work on an industrial scale, so it’s not necessary to buy a very powerful, expensive tool.
Mosaic crafts
From cuts of thick branches.
If you have country yard The boring barn wall is looking right at you. Then you need to make it not boring. Let's decorate the shed using wood crafts. Let's do it mosaic applique from small wood cuts. Such cuts are obtained by cutting thick branches or thin logs with a hacksaw (or chainsaw).
The basis For such a wooden craft, we cut it out of a sheet of plywood. First, we draw the silhouette of the future craft on it. We cut out the plywood base with a hand jigsaw or a special power tool. And we glue wooden rounds onto it - with liquid nails, with wood glue or with hot glue from a gun.
And you can even make it at home from saw cuts decorative frame for a mirror made of wooden rounds(master class in the photo below).
- Also buy a round mirror. Place it on a sheet of plywood and trace it with a pencil.
- Around the resulting circle, retreat a few centimeters (to the width you want for the frame). And with this indentation draw a second circle.
- Cut a large circle out of plywood. And cover the outer ring with wood cuts. You will get a beautiful wooden craft frame - all you have to do is glue the mirror into the middle using liquid nails.
Puff Crafts
made of wood.
This is perhaps my favorite type of wood crafts. Here the woven shields lie on top of each other creating a LAYER VOLUME of the craft.
Here is a cow craft made from three layers of wooden shield. The first layer is the body, the second is the head, the third is the bangs and nose.
You can paint all layers of your craft the same color (like a craft polar bear made of wood) or in different colors (as a craft mouse on the moon– photo below).
Or you can leave a textured wood pattern (as in the crafts in the photo below).
Wood fox It has a two-layer design - a back layer, and the head and tail are placed on it.
Craft duck has 5 layers - central layer with the head, and two layers on both sides (tummy + wing).
The more layers you will overlap each other, the more voluminous and convex your craft will be. Here is an example with the craft “Lions made of wood” you can see how the animal's muzzle moves forward, thanks to four layers of thick wooden boards.
If you paint your crafts. Complete the facial expressions, add small details - folds, spots, etc. You can get very realistic and expensive wood crafts. Your small hobby can become your business. Such works can be safely put up for sale.
You can come up with your own characters. Draw their layers on a sheet of paper. Enlarge the craft first in a paper template - transfer the contours to a wooden board and cut it out. Or find pictures in a children's coloring book– and redraw them in an enlarged size.
Wood craft
For school activities
At the labor lesson.
Such LAYER wood crafts can be cut NOT FROM THICK SHIELDS, but from thin plywood sheet. And then such work can be carried out in labor classes as part of the school curriculum. On the topic “sawing with a jigsaw on plywood.”
Here's an idea - how made of 3 plywood panels make a two-color puppy craft. The first very back layer of WHITE PLYWOOD shows only the tips of the ears, tail and one hind leg. We will cover the second layer with stain (so that it darkens). Eyes, nose and lines can be drawn with a marker, or burned with a special device for burning wood.
In the same technique of shields with different shades colors, you can make a lot of three-dimensional crafts from wood during labor lessons at school or in a woodworking club.
Wood crafts
in the form of an APPLICATION.
Using a very similar technique, you can make an applique from wood. Here, too, wood is taken as a basis. solid wood board(that is, not a glued board, but a solid board). Because we will be sanding it, and the glued board may delaminate from sanding and the glue seams will be visible.
- On paper all future crafts are drawn. Divided into parts by lines. Each detail is numbered. And it is photographed (so that later the location of each element can be verified from the photo).
- Next, the drawing is cut along the lines into elements. We outline each element on the board with a pencil. We cut out an element from a flat board. All elements are flat on top, rough around the edges of the cut and with sharp sawing edges.
- Now our task smooth all edges of each part, round it. We trim off the sharp edges of the cuts with a chisel. And we grind it on a grinding machine (if you have one) or do it manually with sandpaper of varying degrees of hardness and roughness.
- After sanding all parts painted with tinted stain(sold in construction stores). Depending on how many times you wipe the part with stain, you will get a lighter or darker tone. Very light details can be simply wiped off vegetable oil. You can check in advance shades of color on scraps of wood left after sawing the craft.
You can also paint wooden craft parts in watercolor or gouache(using not a brush, but a foam sponge). After painting, to prevent the part from getting your hands dirty, you can spray it with hairspray or saturate the craft with another wood coating compound (just check the color first on scraps).
It only seems that the cow (in the photo of the wooden craft above) is behind the moon. In fact, all the parts are in the same plane. On a piece of paper. But thanks to the streamlined edges of the parts, everything looks voluminous, soft and as if pressed into each other. Nothing is actually pressed in - everything just lies next to each other.
Ideas for such flat wood applique crafts can be taken inside children's coloring books. There are just pictures with large details. You can find a children's coloring picture on Google - enlarge it and print it. Or redraw directly from the monitor screen by placing a sheet of paper on the glowing screen.
Methods for grinding parts
for wood crafts
(instructions to help).
To make it easier to sand the smooth edges of parts without rubbing calluses on your hands, I want to give some useful tips.
You can clamp the sandpaper sanding belt in a special vice, also made of wood. Here's how it's done in the left photo below. Or come up with your own version of the device.
Here in the left photo - sandpaper is wrapped around a thick piece of wood with a semicircular edge. And the edges of the sandpaper are wrapped in a groove, and clamped with a bolt twisted through a round cylindrical piece of wood-clamp.
There are also grinding attachments for drills. And then you can grind the parts using the rotational force of the drill and the magical power of electricity.
Below we see grinding attachments for drill– plate and drum shape.
There are grinding attachments for drills where you can change sandpaper - remove the old worn-out sandpaper and fill in a new one.
By the way, on AliExpress you can buy immediately in bulk grinding drums for a drill for 3-4 dollars per batch of 100 pieces. If you search, you can find it cheaper.
And to prevent the drill from spinning in your hand while working, you can create a special FASTENING STRUCTURE that will record your homemade grinding machine in one place, and all you have to do is bring the parts to the grinding drum.
The design of the mounting pallet can be different - with a wooden clamp (photo above), or with a retainer in the form of a metal bracket (as in the photo below).
With such an assistant, making wood crafts with your own hands is a pleasure. Quick, pleasant and immediately beautiful results. Such work can be put on stream - and a whole production of beautiful wooden (smooth and safe) toys for children and gift wooden paintings can be established.
You can become a successful master. Completely unexpected for myself. Just like that, look at this article and fall in love with the idea.
Fantasy wooden crafts– limitless. Remember the formula for success - everything can be made from wood. The main thing is to start... then continue... and finish.
For example, knocking toys. Beautiful fun for children and for decorating the garden. Such a knocker or woodpecker may knock on your door, announcing guests on the porch. Like in a fairy tale, pull the string and the door will be opened for you.
You can make decorations for your children's room with your own hands. Essentially, reincarnate and become a designer of interesting interior wood crafts. Any boy will be happy if his children's room sparkles with motifs from the Jungle.
You know... I’ll probably continue the topic of wooden crafts for design children's room in one of the following articles. I'd like to see what ideas are hidden here. And making someone fall in love with this is a good thing.
And perhaps we should create an article with wooden toys for children - self made. I also need to write. And then it will work here link.
In the meantime, let's continue...
WOOD CRAFTS
and WASTE material.
Where do future crafts live? …. Old half-decayed boards. For example, from grandma's fence. Which are usually used for firewood or removed from the yard as excess garbage. Stop. Let's not throw them away. Let's dig through this pile and create something wonderful - with our own hands from wood.
A wooden mop-brush, if sawed in half, turns into the mouth of an evil dog. A little imagination and work. And now the service dog is bristling and grinning at you.
A beautifully crafted piece of art. tree and waste material.
Any waste material (pieces of iron, plastic) and old pieces of wood can populate your home with fairy-tale characters. They are alive. They have a soul and their own history.
Wood crafts
Imperishable beauty.
Peeled veneer , from old furniture panels, quietly dampening in your shed - can also become a source for crafts and wood appliqués.
From this thin wood material You can directly cut out the details of the future craft with scissors and stick it with hot glue from a gun (or with wood glue).
You can also use thin birch bark instead of veneer. And also make interesting flat wood crafts.
Wood crafts
(logs, firewood and bark)
Ordinary firewood from your woodpile can become a source of inspiration for wooden crafts for the dacha.
If you cut a round log diagonally, you get a figurine with its face turned towards you. All that remains is to draw this face, add elements of eyes, ears, and nose to it.
You can fold the body of an animal from logs and round blocks. The logs will be the legs and the logs will be the back. The head can be made from a round cut of a small log. Or chop with an ax face up the desired shape from the same log as the body of your four-legged wood craft.
Show your imagination, do not stop before a difficult task. A squirrel made of wood or a snail made of logs - there is nothing complicated. We turn on the head and sense of humor - it will tell you the most ridiculous, but effective ways convey the delicate image of the animal using rough wood and other natural materials.
YOU can work with a chainsaw or an ax - sawing out or beheading the face of your wood craft. You can make these cute pigs with your own hands as a fun wooden craft for your dacha.
And in the bushes you can put a beautiful, proud deer - also a simple and quick craft made from wood and branches.
wooden crafts
from chips from a log.
It happens that when you chop wood, curly large chips break off from the log. This chip often has a bizarre shape - already similar to something (a bird, a panther, the profile of a face). You need to carefully put such a gift of fate aside, so that you can later return to it and complete the craft started by nature. Trim something with a knife, highlight something with paint, glue something as an additional detail. And you get a craft made of wood with your own hands - beautiful and original.
These are the ideas I managed to find for the masters of wooden art.
Now you can also make beautiful wood crafts with your own hands. Moreover, this article is only the first of a cycle on the topic of wooden crafts, which are clear and easy to do at home. You've probably already fallen in love with some ideas and are determined to implement them - I keep my fingers crossed for you - let everything work out in the best possible way. And your wooden craft will appeal to your entire Family Bunch.

Varieties of crafts
It is worth considering most of the options, one of which will definitely suit your taste and you will want to try your hand.
What you can do on your own
You can build many objects from wood, for example:
- Often in everyday life you need convenient, but non-standard items. For example, a table or chair for a small room. More complex - shelves, sideboards, original prefabricated furniture. You can easily find drawings of wooden products on the Internet, but at first it’s not easy to cope with the work without skills and expensive tools.
- If you have children, it is better to take a course on crafts made from driftwood, small slats or plywood. For example, burning or sawing.
- Those who love wicker furniture or baskets will do well to take a walk in the forest or park and collect vines. Crafts woven from raw twigs are dried and used for their intended purpose in the kitchen or garden.
The photo shows kitchen utensils made by yourself.
- Relaxing in your free time with a chisel in your hands can be useful for your business. , rolling pins, spoons, spatulas and other useful items will be appreciated by the female half of the family.

- Many admired the exquisite carved lace that came from the hands of folk art masters. An unrealized childhood dream of a mug " skillful hands» Can be easily implemented in your free time at home. Buy a set of cutters and a hammer, redraw the pattern onto the die and relax to your health.
- Renew the door, facade, decorate flower pots or mini-flower beds can be made with slats. DIY products made from wooden slats, such as flowerpots or shelves, will enliven the interior, giving it exclusivity.
- Suitable for those who prefer to draw rather than saw or cut. Ready-made items, both new and in need of restoration, are suitable for painting.
Note! Even if you don’t know how to saw or draw at all, but are drawn to creativity, decoupage will help you. Stores sell special napkins with designs, primer, glue and varnish. After some simple manipulations, boring doors kitchen cabinets, tables, any wooden objects will become decoration for the home.
- Masterpieces glued together from matches. Here the imagination is limitless and with due perseverance you can create something grandiose. Moreover, from accessible raw materials, the price of which is a penny.
Material selection
In order for the work to go well, try to decide on the material purposefully, selecting it according to its basic properties. Wood needs to be well dried room temperature at least six months.
An abundance of knots is undesirable; they are difficult to process and not always appropriate:
- Linden is the undisputed leader among materials for crafts. It is extremely easy to process both along and across the fibers. It has a smooth, knot-free surface and a faint pattern of annual rings. A pleasant warm milky color with shades of pink looks very noble.
- Birch . It can be awarded second place after linden in popularity among craftsmen. The color is slightly grayish, often with dark inclusions. Quite dense and heavy structure, more difficult to process.
- Beech, oak, walnut. They are expensive varieties; processing without special devices is extremely labor-intensive due to the very hard wood.
Note! Pine and spruce are inexpensive material emitting a pleasant smell for years. But the structure is heterogeneous; resinous inclusions and large fibers are not uncommon. Therefore, the instructions advise using the material for the production of large products.
Tools
They are needed for almost all types of creativity. It is clear that you want to make do with the minimum or what is available.
Here's a basic list of what you'll need to get started:
- Circular saw or hand router.
- Wood saw.
- Electric drill.
- Jigsaw.
- Set of cutters.
- Plane.
- Hammer and mallet.
- Rasp and figured files.
- Emery cloth.
Primers, varnishes, paints
Since for household products there is still a GOST for wooden objects, the safety of coatings is taken into account first of all. Today, almost all mixtures are made on a natural basis.
You will find them in specialized stores. Most often, acrylic primers, paints and varnishes are used for final processing.
How to decorate the interior
For those who want to make something original out of wood right now, we advise you not to delay taking a walk around the immediate surroundings.
You will find the source material very close and completely free:
- If trees in the area are cut with chainsaws, ask for several round or oblique cuts with bark. Dry the dies at home, sand the front and back sides.
It is better not to remove the bark so that the future picture looks more natural. Prime one side and you can start painting the landscape. Oil or acrylic paints are suitable.
- Branches or snags of intricate shapes will make wonderful hangers in the hallway. Sort thin branches, clean them and place them in floor vase. Here's a piece of forest in a city apartment.
- From branches you can make picture frames or mirrors. The corners are tied crosswise with decorative twine, leaving the ends of the sticks sticking out. The result will be a frame in oriental style.
- There are a lot of unclaimed ones in the kitchen cutting boards ? Put them in order by cleaning them first emery cloth. Painted with taste, they will decorate the kitchen.
- I would like to try burning, but I don’t have a device? No problem, it will be replaced by an ordinary household magnifying glass. Get creative on a sunny day by getting used to a new “tool” on some unwanted plywood. Having caught correct distance from a magnifying glass to a board, you can successfully burn out pre-applied contours of patterns using the sun.
- Exquisite shells will be made from multi-layer plywood. The more layers of veneer, the better. Cut it out round blanks, then use a round file to make grooves from the middle to the edges diagonally. You will get wavy stains, like a real sink. Sand the product and varnish it.
Conclusion
Considering the high demand and prices for handmade wooden products, you can think about making extra money from your hobby. For those interested in working with wood, we offer a video in this article, which presents visual examples of the work and the process of its manufacture.

cover the surface of one or all walls in the room with wooden dies;
select a separate section of the wall and decorate it in the form of a panel.

Kitchen apron or panel above work area. Beautiful saw cuts are obtained from different breeds trees - apple, pear, plum, cherry, walnut, ash, where each has its own unique color.
