The best DIY home crafts from scrap materials for 2018!
1. Decoupage and other DIY furniture repair ideas
Restoring old chests of drawers and sideboards is perhaps one of the main trends of our time. Many pieces of furniture fail over time: tables and chairs have loose frames, cushioned furniture is pressed through and requires a new “filling”. But chests of drawers and sideboards can stand for many years and bother you with their outdated appearance.
Home crafters and decoupage masters have not only found a way to update the design old furniture, but also created a fashion for using vintage “grandmother’s” chests of drawers in the interior. Detailed instructions on painting and decoupage you will find in our article .
Below are some photos of amazing home projects to inspire you.

Decoupage and painting amazingly transform old furniture facades, but not every person has enough time and patience for this painstaking task. Therefore, the best DIY home ideas will also include remodeling furniture using duct tape to look like marble, gold, and other fancy finishes. A minimum of effort - and the most ordinary piece of furniture will turn into the main decoration of your interior.
2. Beautiful things for the home with your own hands: carpets
Perhaps the most pleasant thing about creating things for the home with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you buy such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or other motif of your choice) is sure to earn such a compliment. And more than once.
The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it is not too demanding to care for: it is not afraid of moisture and is easy to clean. In this case, the master chose vinyl fabric. It is heavy and durable enough to look like a true carpet. Moreover, the quality of vinyl these days is very impressive and it is available in wide choice colors and interesting textures.
All necessary materials and tools:
- Thick paper;
- Vinyl upholstery fabric;
- Scissors;
- 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.
Procedure:
- Create a stencil from paper. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the drawing itself on it. Don't worry about your artistic talent - a zebra's skin shouldn't look uniform or symmetrical. IN as a last resort, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed to cut out.
- Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and trace the outlines of the stripes with Krylon pens (apply paint with a spray or brush). After this, the stencil can be removed and you can continue painting the areas inside the contours.
- Let the paint dry and you're done! To make sure the pattern will stick, you can “seal” the rug by spraying it with a clear coat of acrylic spray paint.
Krylon pens create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and adheres very reliably. If you cannot buy them in your city, then use regular paint for fabrics or walls. As the next hero of our article.
He took a cheap white rug as a basis and decided to give it interesting view do it yourself using a chevron pattern. All he needed was thin duct tape, scissors, a thick brush and latex paint two different shades.
Finally, another inspiring example in which a makeshift stamp is used instead of a stencil. The craftsman had a rubber bath mat, leftover wall paint (it was slightly diluted with water to achieve a vintage effect), a roller and an old IKEA wool rug. Let's look at the photo what he managed to cook from these ingredients.

7. Turn photos into wall decor
It's much cooler than just hanging framed photos! Your personal photos or any images you like from the internet can be turned into beautiful wall art for any room. To make this decor with your own hands, you can use any of the following methods.
- Find or buy a backing. It can be a thick sheet of polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam (as in this case), a board and other available materials.
- Print the photo, having previously edited its dimensions so that they are approximately 5 cm more sizes substrates. These “extra” centimeters will be used for folds.
- Cut the photo and backing into pieces if you want a modular set rather than a whole painting. Otherwise, skip this point.
- Place the photo on the backing and fold the ends. The author of this product used double-sided adhesive tape to secure the photographs. You can attach with regular glue or other available funds. The surface of the photographs itself can also be treated with glue or paste for shine.
- Print the image and prepare a canvas onto which it will be transferred.
- Stretch the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of gel medium on it. These gels are widespread and today they can be bought at any finishing materials store.
- Place the photo on the greased canvas and press down. Leave it like this for several hours, but periodically spray it with water from a spray bottle.
- Carefully, using your fingertips alone, begin to erase the back surface of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.
The result is a beautiful one with wear and tear that will only give it a touch of vintage style. All that remains is to apply the final layer of gel medium on it as a protective coating.

9. Succulents - living home decor with your own hands
A succulent living wall is perhaps the most amazing of all the DIY home crafts you can make. Agree: if you saw it in someone’s living room or other room design, you wouldn’t be able to remain indifferent!
Dekorin will tell you how to get such impressive and environmentally friendly decor:
- You will need a shallow wooden container for planting and a metal mesh.
- To secure the mesh to the container, use an improvised wooden frame, which can be made from small boards or wood chips. Attach to staples or nails.
- Prepare any for composition. They easily take root in the most difficult conditions and look most advantageous when you combine different shades and leaf shapes. Common examples of succulents: aloe, various cacti, young or rock rose (Sempervivum), sedum (Sedum), rockweed (Orostachys), etc.
- Fill the container with soil and plant your chosen plants in it. Use any cactus mixture for drainage.
