- Parts of a tree - trunk, branches, roots, branches.
- Improvised materials - snags, stumps, logs, bark.
Crafts (especially homemade furniture) can be made from new, purchased wood. In this case, you should remember about the need for pre-drying of the material. Most often, free raw materials are used. High-quality wooden elements can be extracted from old, unnecessary furniture. A huge reserve is in the forest. You just need to walk along it and pick up dry wood. Do not rush to dispose of and dried out - trees and shrubs can give a wonderful one.
You can make a wooden craft different ways. The following main types are distinguished:
- Joinery. They are made in the workshop, on the workbench, by hand. Such manual (including electric) is used carpentry tool: hacksaw and saw, planer, jigsaw, chisel, knife, axe, manual frezer, grinder, drill, hammer.
- Machine products. To create complex wooden elements woodworking machines are used. Details of a round profile and other ideal shapes are obtained by processing on a lathe . Complex undercuts allows you to provide a milling machine.
- Exclusive items. This category includes most crafts if they have a non-standard design and are made from non-standard wood material do it yourself . They are made by hand, piece by piece. The main techniques are cutting, sawing, gouging, planing.
- Separately, you can highlight such an option as art crafts. The main reception -.
To make the craft attractive appearance carried out finishing or finishing. Wood has a beautiful natural structure, which is enough to emphasize and fix. The final processing includes the following techniques: sanding and polishing wood, varnishing, tinting impregnation. as applied , painting, coloring, veneering, film coating.
simple crafts
Crafts for beginners are simple, which allows even small children to be involved in the work.
Several options can be suggested.
"Puppet show"
His "artists" are made from branches with a diameter of 4-7 cm. They must be selected with branches that can play the role of hands. Armed with a sharp knife, you need to remove the bark in the right places, cut off excess branches, and form a neck with incisions. Next, the face, elements of clothing are drawn. from buttons. If desired, clothes or scraps of fabric are glued. You can make grass, straw.
Photo frame
The basis is dense right size. The frame itself can be made from branches in many ways:
- Thin branches in parallel in 3-5 rows are glued along the perimeter of the base. They can be varnished or painted, and the coloring of each branch in its own color looks original.
- Thicker branches (diameter 1-3 cm) can be edged with cardboard in one row. The ends of the branches are cut at an angle of 45 degrees and tightly joined so that a right angle is formed.
- Docking branches with the rest. In the corners, the branches overlap each other in the form of a cross. At the junction, a cutout is formed with a knife for a tight joint. Gusset can be secured with braid or ribbon to form a bow on top.
Hanger
First, a frame (box) is made - a rectangular frame made of slats 2-3 cm wide, and from below - a plywood bottom. Inside this box, branches with branches are placed vertically so that the knot can play the role of a hanger. Between such branches 2-3 smooth branches are fixed. All these elements are glued to plywood. For reliability, they can be fixed with a rail installed with front side under the branches.
Of course the list options crafts for beginners is not limited to the examples given. Depending on the purpose, other wood raw materials can also be used. You can try your hand with standard elements.
Crafts for teenagers
With age, children develop imagination, certain skills and perseverance appear. For a middle school student (grades 6-7), a desire to create an original DIY craft is characteristic, and one that you can decorate your room with. As crafts for boys made of wood, you can offer the following ideas:
- Organizer. An original and quite convenient stationery can be cut out of a piece of board 20-25 mm thick. The photo shows an organizer dog that will decorate a teenager's desk.
- Shelves. They are always needed in the children's room. The decorative effect is achieved through rear wall on which the shelves themselves are fixed on brackets or corners. Such walls can be made of plywood or thin boards. The desired shape is cut with a jigsaw. Another option is the formation of a shelf frame unusual design. The photo shows a shelf composition from the category "New Year's crafts". In this case, the shelves from the board 15-20 mm are edged with a rail in the form of a Christmas tree
- Burnout. In the presence of burning apparatus almost any teenager can handle this technology. Real paintings can be created on plywood, first drawing it with a pencil. Burning on a saw cut from a tree trunk looks beautiful.
In adolescence, it is especially important to develop aesthetic perception. When walking through a park or forest, you should look closely at snags, dry branches. With the help of a knife, you can create a real work of art from them. It is important to see a certain image. If shaded with stain and, then crafts made from roots and snags will decorate any interior.
Tree cuts
If you cut discs 3-5 cm thick from a tree trunk, they can become an excellent ornamental material. Annual rings, which form a beautiful structure, give them decorativeness. different trees have a different shade in the place of the cross cut, which expands the possibilities of creativity.
There are some options for crafts from tree cuts:
- Crafts for the kitchen. The figure shows examples of kitchen crafts. From wooden slices it turns out beautiful and durable coasters for dishes (including hot ones), as well as boards for cutting food. The craft can be made from a single saw cut of a large diameter sash or assembled from several elements by connecting it from the side
- The basis for the picture, painting. A flat and even cut is comfortable material for applying a paint layer on it. On it you can draw a small miniature of a certain plot. The birch saw cut looks beautiful, because. white and black bark provides an unusual edging.
- Frame. On a thin one, you can simply stick a photo. A more time-consuming, but attractive option is to form a frame from a series of saw cuts with a diameter of 3-4 cm.
- flat figures. From wooden blanks, you can assemble stylized animals or fairy-tale characters. The round shape easily turns into a muzzle of a pig. Enough for large sawmill fix a “patch” from a cut of a smaller diameter and a pair of cuts of branches instead of eyes. A little more work - and you get Winnie the Pooh. It is easy to make Cheburashka.
On suburban area the possibilities of using wooden saw cuts are expanding. The flooring from such elements looks beautiful and is good in operation. With saw cuts, you can lay out a path and even a small platform.
Crafts according to drawings
Some furniture elements can be safely considered crafts, because they complement the decor and give it originality. When creating them, you will have to deal with drawings , which must be developed independently or borrowed from specialists. There are some original ideas in this direction:
- Coffee table or coffee table. A peculiar design is shown in the figure. In it, attractiveness is provided by slats fixed on the sides. The bottom should be weighted for stability. The tabletop is made of thick, impact-resistant glass, but you can use plywood, plastic or chipboard
- A cot in the country, which can also be used by adults as an original rocking chair. She is shown in the photo. It is easy to lull a baby in such a crib
- Nightstand in the children's room. It is made in the form of a robot from " star wars” made of wood and covered with silver. From above, it is desirable to install a dome (for example, from foam). The craft is shown in the photo
A great variety of furniture crafts has been developed. You can recall such options as benches and benches for summer cottages, hangers for hallways, chairs and stools for country furniture, various lockers, chests, racks, etc.
funny crafts
Of particular note are wooden crafts that cheer up children and adults.
They are brightly colored, unusual shape and resemblance to comic characters. An example would be the following ideas:
- Log figures. How can you not smile, looking at the cheerful hares with your grandfather. Birch logs with their diversity create a special atmosphere
- Children's compositions. With the help of wood crafts, you can bring sincere joy to children. The figure shows the "Funny Train", which can be easily made from a tree trunk by cutting it into cylindrical logs.
The general atmosphere of cheerfulness is provided by various brightly colored figurines of animals and fairy-tale heroes. If they are combined with beautiful flower beds and lawns, then success is guaranteed.
The image of a bear
The bear, which has become a real symbol of Russia, has long been considered a classic character for decorating suburban areas.
Crafts on this topic can be performed using different techniques:
- If you have the skills of wooden sculpture, you can carve a typical image of a bear. Such a figure looks beautiful when it has a height of at least 1 m. It is very difficult to find a monolithic wooden block of this size, and therefore the details (torso, head, paws) are cut separately. At the last stage, they are joined with glue, the seam is puttied, and the entire statue is painted (brown, brown, black or white)
- "Standing Bear" A vertically located figure of a bear can be cut down and sawn out of a tree trunk. The photo shows step by step process making crafts.
On suburban area you can "breed" different bears. Looks great bear with cubs. You can use the plot from the picture of Shishkin and the cubs to combine with trees and stumps
Wood crafts are very popular in the field of interior design and landscape design. They can be small souvenirs or tower in the country, attracting the eye from afar. Wood is a malleable material that allows you to create various crafts, but they must be done carefully, combining the natural texture and the possibilities of external decoration.
No matter how many new synthetic materials for construction and decoration appear, wood remains indispensable and loved at all times. From plastic and pliable wood, carpentry masters continue to create their masterpieces. Today we will tell you what unexpected things you can do from wood with your own hands and give a link to the drawings.
wooden curtains
The Venetian artist Livio De Marchi carves anything from ordinary wood species - from a hat to a car.
He makes his masterpieces in full size. Sometimes it is very difficult to distinguish his works from real things. The master keeps his wooden collection in a special wooden house, inside of which everything is also made of wood, including dishes, tablecloths and curtains made of wood with their own hands.
How to make garden furniture
Even if you do not have artistic talents to the same extent, so as not to spend money on garden furniture try to make it yourself. Sometimes it is really, simpler than ever and does not require any drawings and diagrams. Ordinary boards and bent metal legs - that's it coffee table. For such projects, you can also take small bars that are stacked in a checkerboard pattern.
Logs folded in a certain order - here you have chairs with a table.
From a dry tree you get an original hanger. IN last resort, a log with “hooks” from branches is also suitable. Remove the bark, treat with antiseptics, paint in the color you need. At the end of the project, forget to "plant" the tree on a strong pin with a heavy base.
DIY wooden interior
Here's a wallpaper of logs cut across. Cut blanks from thick branches of dry trees. Attach them to the wall with liquid nails. Open with varnish. The original eco-decor is ready!
One craftsman decorated a chest of drawers with bark rings - it looks original and fabulous!
And this family of cabinets is on a walk - and the decor is unusual, and it will fit for storing every little thing.
Don't throw away the legs old furniture, suddenly someday you will make a new centipede coffee table out of them. Funny and original.
And these three multi-legged tables were created by Korean designer Chul An Kwak. The idea of two of them was inspired by galloping horses, and the third was presented by a working excavator.
Two old chairs can give birth to a new bench. Place them opposite and sheathe them with boards so that the beautiful backs of the chairs serve as bench handles.
Designer things made of wood
These designer chairs self made from a series of Skeleton Rocking Chairs worth $3,120 each were sold at auction. Rocking chairs in the form of realistic skeletons, as they say, for an amateur. Not everyone will relax in the arms of a bony handsome man, except perhaps extreme people and fans of horror films.
If you need original wall shelf, able to go around any corners, make it yourself! The price of the project is six boards.
A wall mirror that turns into a folding table is a very handy thing in the house. And it is quite possible to make it with your own hands. You will need two sheets of plywood 2 cm thick measuring 80 x 60, a mirror 60 x 40, metal hinges - 4 pieces, two hooks, acrylic varnish. We measure 10 cm from the edge along the perimeter of the plywood sheet. We drill holes in the corners with a drill. Using a jigsaw, cut out a rectangle drawn on plywood. So we made a leg for a folding table, which will also serve as a frame for a mirror.
Now cover the table top and table leg acrylic varnish. Attach the folding table leg to the tabletop with two metal hinges. Attach two more hinges with reverse side the other end of the countertop so that the mirror can be hung on the wall. Down mirror surface, exactly in the center of the countertop, place the mirror. Glue double-sided construction tape around its perimeter. Turn the mirror over and lay it on the countertop according to the markings, which is the adhesive tape. Attach the hinges on the tabletop to the wall. The leg on a table-top is fixed by two hooks.
Australian artist Cornish Adam created a plywood hammock. Hanging structure- These are 15 layers of birch plywood, between which rubber washers are located for shock absorption.
Unremarkable construction pallets, as it turned out, inspire craftsmen to endlessly fantasize about garden furniture.
wooden utensils
To make a knife stand in the form of a medieval knight, expensive materials are not required, and professional woodworking skills are also not needed. Standard kit, 15mm birch plywood and patience is all you need. The figure of a knight consists of two identical sidewalls and one middle part, which are fastened together with glue and wooden spikes with a diameter of 6 mm. Holes for spikes are deaf, 8 mm deep. Use a 25x5mm neodymium magnet to hold a knife sharpener. Cut a hole in the knight's helmet, glue a magnet into it, and a plywood plug on top.
The knight's shield is assembled from two identical parts, as well as the base of the stand. In the shield, you need to make through rectangular holes for the knight's arms, and at the base - for his legs. Then slots are cut in the shield for specific knives available in your kitchen. The finished stand can be varnished or painted with acrylic paints.
A real working wooden excavator will no doubt delight your children. With a length of 83 cm and a width of 68 cm, the toy works on the principle of leverage. The product consists of two parts - a base and a cabin with a bucket. The shovel bucket can be controlled by levers on a nylon rope. The base is a platform that rotates around its axis by 360 °. The counterweight log maintains the stability of the structure.

Wooden crafts can also be made for schoolchildren. Together with parents, you can learn how to do doll furniture from twigs, tree roots. To produce a fabulous gazebo, you will need a small plastic cup, pebbles, small twigs, cardboard, hot glue. Cut the glass roughly in half.
Glue it with pebbles, insert a cardboard circle on top according to the size of the hole. Next, you can glue small branches in a circle to make a fence. Longer branches will serve as a support for the roof, which must also be glued.
DIY wood crafts are a great opportunity to maintain your health. It is known that working with natural material helps to strengthen the psychological health of the master. Each master, making his product, puts his soul, love into it.
In the modern world, there is even a Woodcarving movement that works with wood. They manage to create real works of art. Looking at their work, you can catch fire to repeat several of their works on your own or with the help of a qualified craftsman working with natural materials.
According to the author. In this first article, I want to show you which simple crafts can be made of wood - both for children and adults. Many ideas fit for school work- for boys. Some ideas will work for school competition crafts from natural material.
Some wooden crafts can become decoration of your cottage or yard. Here you will find a storehouse of inspiration and joy from the anticipation of such an interesting and simple work. In this article I will prove - what to make beautiful wood crafts can anyone. Because here you will find simple and feasible tasks. Even a fragile woman with a manicure can do half of the crafts from this article. So - let's fall in love with wooden art.
Let's start with simple magic.
Crafts that glow with love.
Here are the simplest and cutest country crafts from wood. For crafts, you need a saw cut of a log (ask when you are sawing firewood with a grinder to make a few thin cuts). Or you can do it without sawing - just take a board of any size.
In a tree, we drill holes of such a thickness that a glass pebble bought in a store enters it. Such sets of multi-colored decorative glass stones are sold - in the gifts department, and in the department where candles, vases and everything for holiday decor.
You can drill such holes with glass just in the board - and hang it on the apple tree. You can drill such holes in the fence - if the sun at least once a day shines into it at a low angle.
That's very beautiful. Magically. Like in the land of fairies. Your kids will love this wood craft.
simple wooden crafts
If you are sawing logs for firewood in your yard, you are in luck. You can get priceless craft material for free. Ask the men to cut flat cuts for you, both from small logs and large ones. Lovingly stack them away from the woodpile and start inventing future wood crafts. For example, let it be wooden owls. It's easy to make and looks beautiful. Saw cuts can be nailed to each other with nails. You can plant them on liquid nails (like glue).
The surface of the saw cuts can be rough, unskinned (as in the photo with the bunny craft). And you can sand it with sandpaper and even varnish such an ornamental material. Or paint in the color you want.
From large saw cuts, you can make large country crafts from wood. And small log cabins (from 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 saw 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 pebbles. They become the source interesting crafts. The stones are easily painted with felt-tip pens, office bold markers or just gouache (after work, fix the gouache with hairspray or nail polish).
And here is another way to make beautiful AIR crafts from wooden cuts. Openwork through cutting with an electric jigsaw (photo with crafts Maple Leaf) looks amazing.
Here is a small master class, from which you can see how the process of cutting openwork patterns on a thick saw cut of a tree takes place.
First, trace the stencil with a pencil. Then we drill holes in the key nodes of the picture with a drill. And then with a jigsaw we go from one holey node to another.
You can create your own device which will help you cut wood products using a conventional drill. Make an electric jigsaw with your own hands. Holding hands on comfortable handles, you simply move the device - following the lines of your drawing. The thinner the drill, the more small parts you can cut out a picture for them. Well thought out.
Or maybe buy a jigsaw It costs an average of $100. You can find it for 50, but we don’t work on an industrial scale, so it’s not necessary to buy a very powerful expensive tool.
If you have country yard the boring barn wall is staring right at you. That needs to be made boring. Let's make a shed positive with the help of wooden crafts. Let's do mosaic applique from small saw cuts. Such cuts are obtained by sawing thick branches or thin logs with a hacksaw (or chainsaw).
basis for such a wood craft, we cut it out of a sheet of plywood. First, draw on it the silhouette of the future crafts. We cut out plywood base manual jigsaw or special power tools. And we stick wooden roundels on it - on liquid nails, on wood glue or on hot glue from a gun.
And even at home you can make saw cuts decorative wooden mirror frame(master class in the photo below).
- Also buy a round mirror. Put it on a sheet of plywood - circle it with a pencil.
- Around the resulting circle, retreat a few centimeters (to the width you want for the frame). And with this indent draw a second circle.
- Cut out a large circle from plywood. And glue the outer ring with saw cuts of wood. It will turn out a beautiful wooden craft frame - it remains to glue a mirror into the middle on liquid nails.
This is probably my favorite kind of wood crafts. Here, the swollen shields lie on top of each other, creating a LAYER VOLUME of crafts.
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 the layers of your craft the same color (as craft polar bear wood) or in different colors (as a craft mouse on the moon- photo below).
Or you can leave the textured wood pattern (as in the crafts from the photo below).
wood fox has a two-layer construction - the back layer, and the head and tail are laid on it.
craft duck has 5 layers - the central layer with the head, and two layers on both sides (tummy + wing).
The more layers you will impose on 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 muzzle of the beast moves forward, thanks to four layers of thick wooden board.
If you color your crafts. Draw facial expressions, add small details - folds, spots, and more. You can get very realistic and expensive wood crafts. Your little hobby can become your business. Such works can be safely put up for sale.
You can invent your own characters. Draw their layers on a sheet of paper. Enlarge the craft first in a paper template - transfer the contours to wooden shield and cut out. Or find pictures in a children's coloring book- and redraw them in an enlarged size.
Such Puff wood crafts can be cut NOT FROM THICK SHIELD, 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 "cutting with a jigsaw on plywood."
Here's an idea for you - how from 3 plywood boards make a two-color puppy craft. The first posterior layer of WHITE PLYWOOD peeks out only with the tips of the ears, tail and one hind leg. We will cover the second layer with a stain (so that it darkens). Eyes, nose and lines can be drawn with a marker, or burned out with a special wood burning device.
In the same technique of shields with different shades of color, you can make a lot of voluminous wood crafts at labor lessons at school or in a circle of wooden creativity.
In a very similar technique, you can make an appliqué out of wood. Here, too, wooden solid wood board(that is, not a glued shield, but a solid board). Because we will grind it, and the glued sanding shield can exfoliate and the glue seams will be visible.
- On paper the whole future craft is drawn. Divided by lines into details. Each detail is numbered. And it is photographed (so that later on the photo to check the location of each element).
- Next, the drawing is cut along the lines into elements. We trace each element on the board with a pencil. We cut out an element from a flat board. All elements are flat on top, rough on the edges of the cut and with sharp sawing edges.
- Now our task smooth all edges of each part, round. We grind the sharp edges of the cuts with a chisel. And we grind it on a grinding machine (if you have one) or do it by hand with sandpaper of varying degrees of hardness-roughness.
- After sanding all the details painted in tinted stain(sold in construction stores). Depending on how many times you wipe the part with a stain, you will get a lighter or darker tone. Very light details can be wiped off simply vegetable oil. You can check in advance shades of color on the scraps of wood left after sawing the crafts.
You can also paint the details of wood crafts in watercolor or gouache(using not a brush, but a foam rubber sponge). After painting, so that the part does not get your hands dirty, you can sprinkle it with hairspray or impregnate the craft with another wood finish (only check what color it will be on the scraps beforehand).
It only seems that the cow (pictured in the woodwork above) is behind the moon. In fact, all the details are in the same plane. On a piece of paper. But thanks to the streamlined edges of the details, everything looks voluminous, soft and, as it were, PUSHED into each other. In fact, nothing is pressed in - everything just lies next to each other.
Ideas for such flat wood crafts can be taken inside children's coloring books. There are just pictures with large details. Children's coloring picture can be found in Google - enlarge and print. Or redraw directly from the monitor screen by placing a sheet of paper on the glowing screen.
Methods for grinding parts
To make it easier to sand smooth edges of parts without rubbing calluses on my hands, I want to give some useful tips.
You can clamp the sanding belt in a special vise, 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 on the left photo - sandpaper wraps around a thick plank 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 nozzles for a drill. And then you can do the shlivovka parts using the rotational power of the drill and the magical power of electricity.
Below we see grinding attachments for drill- cymbal and drum shape.
There are drill grinders where you can change sandpaper- remove the old worn sanding-skin and fill in a new one.
By the way, on Aliexpress you can buy immediately in bulk grinding drums on a drill for 3-4 dollars for a batch of 100 pieces. If you look you can find it cheaper.
And so that the drill does not spin in your hand during operation, you can create a special FASTENING STRUCTURE, which will fix your homemade sander is in one place, and all you have to do is bring the parts to the sanding drum.
The design of the mounting tray can be different - with a wooden clamp (photo above), or with a lock 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. Quickly 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, gift wooden paintings can be established.
You can become a successful master. Completely unexpected. It's as simple as looking at this article and falling in love with the idea.
Fantasy wooden crafts- unlimited. Remember the formula for success - everything can be made from wood. The main thing is to start ... then continue ... and finish.
For example, knocker toys. Beautiful fun for children and for decorating the cottage. Such a hammer or woodpecker can knock on your door, reporting guests on the porch. Like in a fairy tale - pull the rope, and the door will be opened for you.
You can make decorations for the children's room with your own hands. In fact, reincarnate and become a designer of interesting interior wood crafts. Any boy will be happy if his children's room sparkles with motives from the Jungle.
You know ... I'll probably continue the theme of wooden crafts for design children's room in one of the following articles. I would like to see what ideas are hidden here. And falling in love with someone is a good thing.
And perhaps it is also necessary to create an article with handmade wooden toys for children. You also need to write. And then it will work here link.
And while we continue...
Where do future crafts live? …. Old decayed boards. For example, from the grandmother's fence. Which usually go for firewood or are taken out of 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 cut in half, turns into the mouth of an evil dog. A little imagination and work. And now the service dog bristles and grins at you.
Gorgeous piece of art. Wood and waste material.
Any junk material (pieces of iron, plastic) and old pieces of wood can populate your house with fairy-tale characters. They are alive. They have a soul and their own history.
Peeled veneer , from old furniture panels, quietly damp in your shed - can also become a source for handicrafts, applications made of wood.
Of this thin wood material you can cut out the details of the future crafts directly with scissors and stick them on hot glue from a gun (or on wood glue).
And instead of veneer, you can use thin birch bark. And also make interesting flat wood crafts.
Ordinary firewood from your woodpile can be a source of inspiration for wooden crafts for the country.
If a round log is cut obliquely, then you get a figure with a face turned towards you. It remains only to draw this face, add elements of eyes, ears, 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 off with an ax snout up 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 gentle image of the animal using rough wood and other natural material.
YOU can work with a chainsaw or an ax - sawing or cutting off the face of your wood craft. Here you can make such cute pigs with your own hands as a fun wood craft for the country house.
And in the bushes you can put a beautiful proud deer - also a simple and quick craft made of wood and branches.
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, a face profile). It is necessary to carefully put such a gift of fate aside, in order to return to it later and complete the craft begun by nature. Cut 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.
