I really want the house to look stylish and expensive, but doing it yourself is actually easier than you might think. From the most ordinary, and sometimes from unnecessary things, do-it-yourself crafts for the home look great.

Expensive furniture, works of art, modern gadgets, no doubt, will make your home look luxurious, but sometimes quite a bit of money, a little creativity and accuracy are enough to get an interior that looks expensive and stylish, and all this attractive splendor costs very little.

If you want to put your hands and soul into decorating your home, here are a few ideas on how to do it.

DIY crafts from jars

Use jars to organize such small items like cotton balls, ear sticks, bath salts. This useful decor is perfect for a bathroom or bedroom. Jars can be the same or not, it's not very important here. Handles are an important element here. These are furniture handles. When I am in construction stores, or in furniture workshops, it is difficult to tear me away from showcases with handles, I am especially attracted to transparent ones, in the form of crystals. It really looks luxurious. I always regretted that I didn’t have such furniture where such luxury could be fastened.

And here it is, a godsend for beautiful pens. Naturally, the lids on the jars were originally of all kinds of colors, but they were painted with plain white spray paint. And luxurious handles were glued with metal glue.

From bottles

Such exquisite decor the simplest bottles can be made using decal paper with a transparent film. Of course, first you need to paint the bottle in the desired color, and then proceed to decorate the surface.

You need to find an interesting pattern that suits your interior in shape and color and transfer it to the surface of the bottle. The design is printed on decal paper for a laser or inkjet printer.

By the way, this paper is called differently. Decal paper, hymine paper, decal, and even translating paper are all one and the same.

Then, the pattern is cut with scissors and lowered into the water. After 10-12 seconds, the picture will separate from the substrate. You can watch the video, very interesting way accurate transfer of the pattern to the surface of the cup.

Read the guidelines for printing on decal paper carefully. Learn for inkjet or laser printer paper, make sure the paper type is set correctly in the printer settings. Before applying to the surface, it must be degreased with alcohol. The treatment fluid must not contain acetone. Dry the applied pattern with a hairdryer or in the oven. Attention! The temperature in the oven should not exceed 150 degrees.

After application, cover with acrylic matte or glossy varnish, depending on the decoration task.

Using this paper, you can apply drawings that will last for many years, such bottles - vases can be washed, nothing will happen to them.

Everyone who has a creative streak is sorry to throw away an empty "glass container".
And this is the right regret, because even the simplest glass bottles, in the interior look magical.

Serving napkins

Great idea! I talked about such an exquisite home decoration in a previous article about. And I liked Lyudmila Sanzharovskaya's comment that such serving gives status to the owners of the house.

From newspaper and magazine tubes

I never thought that such, almost free material, is so plastic. I was visiting a children's creative center, with a surprisingly cute name "White Rabbit". The hostess showed me the children's crafts, I was amazed, here is a dish woven from newspapers. After all, you can not distinguish from the vine. This dish will be varnished, it will not be afraid of water, and it can be perfectly used in the kitchen or in the country for fruits.

This craft requires more skill and experience. But, as they say, the beginning of trouble is the beginning.

From a cord

Nice natural color cotton cord is a favorite material for DIY crafts. Planters and organizers look elegant and noble, especially in combination with the bright color of floss thread tassels or natural materials such as leather.

Scraps can also be used to make rugs and baskets. But if rugs can only be made from shreds, cut into ribbons and tied together into one thread for knitting. That is a basket, it is better to do it on a cord around which shreds are wrapped. The basket should keep its shape. You can put balls, trimmings and everything that a needlewoman needs in her needlework corner in it.

From an old sweater

A craft box can be made stylish with just an old sweater that no one wears anymore.

book holders

I found such a handsome man on the Internet, I already have an article about holders, but it is difficult to pass by such a charmer. An ordinary stone, so skillfully painted and so perfectly copes with its functional task. Although the idea of ​​a silver or gold polyhedron looks very expensive in an article about holders, the painted stone looks very cute and homely.

Beans and brushes

This sentence looks more like a life hack, but it looks so stylish that I decided to place this photo in crafts for the home. The truth of "make" here is only the process of pouring beans into a transparent vessel of suitable size.

Crazy shred

The most wonderful technique for crafts for the home is a crazy patchwork or crazy patchwork. This technique is good because all kinds of fabric trimmings are used. Every more or less sewing girl has somewhere a cherished bag with scraps and leftovers. In the technique of real, academic patchwork Special attention given to the selection of fabrics. Even sets are on sale. But in this technique there are no restrictions, and it is easy to perform.

Here, the guest of my site, Luda Strakovskaya, shows how to sew a pot holder using this technique, everything is simple and clear.

In fact, potholders are a very necessary and beautiful detail of the kitchen interior.

But for the living room for this technique there are options. Decorative pillows for beauty, comfort and as a color-binding element of the interior.

A scattering of puzzles

I don’t know about you, but I have a huge number of puzzles that have migrated from one box to another, got mixed up, rearranged and now it is no longer possible to assemble anything worthwhile out of them. And here is such a nice and nice idea for children.

Crafts from buttons

This is a classic of the genre. Everything can be made from buttons, and, in practice, there is no person who would not like to look at buttons. And in the hardware stores, there are always crowds of people near the scattering of discount buttons.

Recently I went to the store, there is such a table with high sides and various buttons are poured inside the slide, which remained in the store one or several pieces, leftovers and illiquid. A special scoop is stuck into the hill, you can directly pick up buttons with a scoop.

Mom and daughter, daughter, 5-6 years old, are picking up buttons in packages, their faces are happy, very happy. I ask what will you do with them. Mom, hastily, - Oh, but we don't know yet.

I so want to see what they composed with their buttons.

Maybe such beauty, for example.

Candles from cinders

Candles are always needed in the house. To create a romantic mood, to relax and get rid of the negative energy of the past hard working day, and, of course, for cases when there is an emergency power outage in the house.

Oh, this case in our family, perhaps the most favorite. Especially when the children were small. Everyone pulls up to the kitchen, the kettle is turned on, candles are lit and the minutes of happy family unity come. It would be nice if everyone's phones were dead by this time.

After such gatherings, a decent amount of cinder remains, or rather, this amount depends on the time it takes for the emergency service to troubleshoot the network.

Cinders need to be melted and poured into cups left over from services or for some reason not used for their intended purpose.

And you can make the “cup” itself from the same molten mass.

More ideas for a wooden nursery

A kind of stadiometer, or rather, an age meter made of wooden square planks, will decorate and allow you to observe changes in the size of the handle of the hostess of the room.

Well, or just decorate a children's room on a budget with the involvement of both kids and adults in the creative process.

DIY home decor is distinguished by its variety and purpose. Home-made beautiful things and useful crafts for the home can be used as original furnishings, decor elements, or as devices designed to store various household items.

In order to do things with your own hands, it is not necessary to buy expensive materials, you can also use improvised means.

Creating an unusual decor is possible without large material costs. Most of you will find various unnecessary trifles in the house, for example, fabrics, multi-colored paper, buttons - all this can be used as a material for crafts.

There is such a “junk” in almost every house, if you dismantle the pantry or dig in the attic, you will find something. For the manufacture of beautiful novelties and homemade little things are also useful natural materials, glue and thread. But the ideas of handmade decor at home are needed - of course.

Many people think that only people with experience can make and create presentable interior items on their own - this is a delusion. Show your imagination, combine materials of different textures, do not be afraid to experiment, and you will create not only beautiful, but also original decor for home.

Even if you have to tinker with the first thing, each subsequent decorative craft it will get better and better, and you will spend less time.

DIY home craft ideas

So, what can you do with your own hands for the home? Let's look at a few ideas for inspiration. Among the proposed options, you will definitely find something interesting for yourself and try to make your favorite thing with your own hands.

Housekeeper

One of the useful things for the home, while performing a decorative function that you can make with your own hands, is the key holder.

The peculiarity of this housekeeper is that its design imitates brickwork. The basis for the key holder is thick cardboard (you can use part of a box). You will also need a dense toilet paper or thick paper towels. Dense material is needed so that it does not spread when lubricated with glue. stock up acrylic paints, varnish and glue (regular PVA is suitable).

Make the back wall of the key holder out of rectangular cardboard or plywood sheet. Hooks will be attached to the base. Cut out small rectangular bricks from cardboard, the size should be the same and glue them to the base, leaving a small distance between the parts. Not the entire surface of the cardboard is pasted over with bricks.

In the central part, you need to stick a plate decorated with an inscription, and place a beautiful picture in the upper part.

After that, coat the bricks well with glue, and put a napkin (previously crumpled) on top, a little more glue for impregnation. Using a stick, press a napkin or paper into the gaps between the miniature bricks to make corners. Give the piece time to dry.

Paint over the dried panel with paint (to simulate natural brick, you need to choose a red-brown shade). Use bronze paint to paint the seams.

After the paint dries, cover the bricks in the same tone using a dry brush (dip the brush in the bronze-colored paint, then wipe it on paper until it is almost dry, and only then brush the brickwork).

On a note! When painting bricks with a brush, you need to drive without changing direction.

To make the key holder smooth, cover it with a transparent matte varnish.

The work is completed by attaching loops, after which it can be hung on the wall or presented to someone. In the photo below - the finished key holder:

Hanger for jewelry

All the fair sex love jewelry; almost every woman has jewelry that needs to be stored somewhere. The original storage for jewelry will be a hanger made like a picture.

In order to make a hanger for storing jewelry, you will need:

• baguette frame;
• plywood;
• stain (you can use paint as a substitute);
• hooks and handles from boxes;
• nails;
• screwdriver and drill;
• cutting tool.

Cut the plywood according to the size of the frame and coat it with stain, then dry it and attach it to the frame. Mark the places where the hooks will be attached and screw them on. It remains to hang decorations on a hanger.

Now you have a place to store women's treasures - jewelry.

Plastic canvas box for storing small items

A simple but presentable box designed to store various little things can be made from a plastic canvas.

Canvas is a material for embroidery. You will need a canvas made of plastic, you can buy it in stores that sell everything for needlework.

On a note! Canvas made of plastic is usually made in the form of sheets, A4 size. Perforations in plastic canvas vary in size. Canvases are produced with a different number of perforations, the more there are, the smaller they are.

In addition to the canvas, you need to stock up on the following materials:

• dense threads;
• large needle;
• fabric or beads;
• scissors.

Embroidery on plastic canvas is almost no different from the usual. Embroidery techniques can be different, the most popular are cross and satin stitch.

Plastic canvas is flexible yet very durable.

Decide what size your box will be. Divide the material into parts intended for the sides and for the bottom. There should be five parts in total. Make elements for the cover. Make a blank, the size of which is 0.5 cm larger in width and length from the bottom. The sides of the lid should be slightly narrower. You will need five more parts. Then sew the parts with dense threads (you can use both braid and even ribbons).

You can embroider any pattern on blanks. Drape the parts that are not embroidered with a cloth or embroider with beads.

Having issued all 10 blanks, start the assembly. At the first stage, the side parts should be sewn to the bottom. Then sew all the side elements of the box from the outside and sheathe the top along the edges. Final stage- assemble the cover in the same way.

We assemble the lid of the box in the same way.

A beautiful plastic canvas box is ready.

Wicker rugs in tapestry technique

One of the options that allow you to give the interior coziness is tapestry rugs. To weave such things, you do not need special tools. A tapestry rug can be made from improvised materials: thick threads that are used for knitting (they can be replaced with ropes made from old clothes) and cords.

The tapestry is a lint-free carpet made manually. The base of tapestry rugs is decorated with ornaments created by interlacing threads. We will create a plot composition in the form of a circle with drawn lines, a thread will run along them, which will serve as the basis.

All work is done with weft threads. Under the complex name, ordinary ropes and braid are hidden, from which weaving and decorative patterns are created.

• choose a strong thread to create the base;
• thread-duck broach should be done by hand;
• to make the tapestry more dense, you can press the threads to the center, for this they use a simple fork.

Stage one. We draw cardboard with a size of 500 x 500 mm. We carry out the firmware of the cardboard with the thread chosen for the base. To do this, cut the markings drawn on the cardboard and thread the rope through the lines so that it runs through the central part.

Stage two. Let's start weaving the tapestry. It is necessary to carefully fix the initial thread. Weaving in the technique of tapestry consists in pulling the cord underlying the alternation of one thread from above and the second from below.

Stage three. Having weaved the last turn of the thread in a circle of cardboard, you need to turn the resulting rug on the reverse side and cut off the base cords. When trimming, leave about 5 cm at the ends. Pull the ends of the laces out of the notches made on the cardboard (the picture does not need to be removed during pulling out) and tie them in pairs. Attach pompoms to the resulting knots.

Complete the composition by sewing on a thick rope with wrong side in a circle - this will hide the knots and ends of the threads.

Advice. Using different textures and shades of threads, you can make different rugs and then combine them into one. You will get a large carpet that can be hung on the wall or laid on the floor.

A tapestry rug laid on the floor will make it warmer, and besides, it looks beautiful. Weaving a tapestry rug with your own hands is not difficult: try it and see for yourself.

Ribbon curtain

You can make an unusual curtain from ribbons. The tape blind is suitable for both windows and doors. It will take a little time to make a curtain from ribbons, even sewing machine need not. Fluttering tape curtain repels insects well; earlier such curtains were made from newspapers cut into strips.

To make a curtain from ribbons, you need the following materials:

• ribbons or fabric strips (with not fraying edges);
• cornice;
• clips or buttons.

Tapes need to be thrown over the eaves and fixed with clamps. Large beads can be strung on fabric strips for decoration.

The tape curtain performs not only a practical, but also a decorative function. The advantage of a curtain made of ribbons is lightness. This great option for giving, the tape curtain can be hung in the apartment.

Flower pots from paper bags

Many people have paper bags at home, instead of throwing them away, make flower pots out of them.

Materials for making flower pots:

• paper bags;
• wooden skewer;
• scissors;
• rope;
• glue;
• plastic container.

Take paper bags and make a markup on them: eight strips measuring 70x300 mm, then cut the paper along the dotted lines.

Place a wooden skewer in the corner of one of the strips and wind it around paper base diagonally. You must make a paper tube from each strip. Seal the corners of the paper tubes so they don't unwind. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun.

Take a plastic container, apply glue to it and wrap it with paper (from all the same bags) so that the plastic is not visible. Glue paper tubes to the bottom of the container. Cut paper strips 70x450 mm (you will need large bags) and make tubes.

Wrap the tubes so that they are pressed tightly against the walls of the container. Attach a long tube of paper with glue to the bottom of the container, and wrap it around it, you need to braid the main tubes. Wrap all the main tubes, and then change the direction of weaving to braid the missed tubes - this is how you need to wrap the entire container.

Make two holes in the sides of the pot (above).

Pull the rope through the holes made, at each end of the twine you need to tie a knot in order to fix it well. Another woven tube will help to hide the ends of the twine. Wrap the tubes protruding above the pot inside the container and secure with glue.

Unusual flower pots are ready.
