Do you think doing something like this is unrealistic? But in vain! We have 80 luxurious home ideas that are not much different from design bells and whistles.

1. Beaded curtains

Instead of an ordinary door, lovely curtains made of beads and beads look much more interesting. It is very easy to make similar ones, you just need to buy a lot of beads.

In the process of work, you will need: scissors, the base for the curtain (cord, fishing line), cornice, large beads and the beads themselves.

Think over the pattern, then measure the line by folding it in half. Leave some stock to attach to the plank and start braiding.

We decorate the bar and fasten the beaded threads.

2. Decor on the wall in the form of a world map

We paint the stones in different colors, draw the dial, mark the place for attaching the mechanism and attach a loop to it.

4. Magic lamp

Even a regular glass jar can shine without electricity. And making such magic is not difficult.

For a sparkling flashlight, prepare a glass jar, lots of glass balls, rubbing alcohol, cotton wool, fluorescent paint, and a paintbrush.

Here you will find 10 of the most beautiful interior items that you can do for your home with your own hands without spending extra money.

The best DIY home crafts from scrap materials for 2018!

1. Decoupage and other DIY furniture repair ideas

The restoration of old dressers and sideboards is perhaps one of the main trends of our time. Many pieces of furniture fail over time: the bodies of tables and chairs loosen, upholstered furniture is squeezed through and requires a new "filling". But dressers and sideboards can stand for many years and annoy you with their outdated look.

Home craftsmen and decoupage masters not only found a way to update the design of old furniture, but also made the use of vintage "grandmother's" chests of drawers in the interior fashionable. You will find detailed instructions on painting and decoupage in our article. .

Below are some photos of amazing home projects that will inspire you.

As a result, the furniture has acquired the original effect of decor in the Moroccan style. Simple, how ingenious everything is:

By the way, in this way you can create more sophisticated things for the home:

Decoupage and painting amazingly transform old furniture facades, but not every person has enough time and patience for this painstaking work. Therefore, the best DIY home ideas will also include remodeling furniture with duct tape for marble, gold, and other unusual 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 house with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you acquire such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or any other motif of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And more than once.

The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it is not too demanding in care: it is not afraid of moisture and can be easily cleaned. In this case, the master chose vinyl fabric. It is heavy and durable enough to look like a true rug. What's more, the quality of vinyl is very impressive these days and is available in a wide variety of colors and interesting textures.

All necessary materials and tools:

• Thick paper;
• Vinyl upholstery fabric;
• Scissors;
• 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.

Procedure:

1. Create a stencil out of 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 skin doesn't have to look uniform or symmetrical. As a last resort, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed to cut.
2. Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and trace the contours of the stripes with Krylon pens (spray paint or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue painting the areas inside the paths.
3. Let the paint dry and you're done! To be sure that the pattern will stick, you can “seal” the carpet by spraying a clear coat of acrylic spray paint on it.

Krylon handles create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and adheres very securely. If you cannot buy them in your city, then use ordinary 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 an interesting look with his own hands using a chevron pattern. All he needed was thin duct tape, scissors, a thick paintbrush, and two different shades of latex paint.

Finally, another inspiring example that uses an impromptu stamp instead of a stencil. The master had a rubber bath mat, remnants of wall paint (to achieve a vintage effect, it was slightly diluted with water), a roller and an old IKEA wool carpet. We look at the photo of what he managed to cook from these ingredients.

3. Unusual "marble" crafts with your own hands (photo)

7. Turn photos into wall decor

It's so much cooler than just hanging your photos in frames! Your personal photos or any images you like from the Internet can turn into beautiful wall art for any room. To make such a decor with your own hands, you can apply any of the following methods.

1. Find or buy a backing. It can be played by a thick sheet of polystyrene or expanded polystyrene (as in this case), a board and other materials at hand.
2. Print a photo after editing its dimensions so that they are about 5 cm larger than the substrate. These "extra" centimeters will go to the folds.
3. Cut the photo and backing into pieces if you want a modular set, not a whole picture. Otherwise, skip this item.
4. Place the photo on a substrate and wrap the ends. The author of this product used double-sided tape to secure the photographs. You can attach with regular glue or other available media. The surface of the photos can also be treated with glue or glitter paste.

1. Print the image and prepare the canvas to transfer it to.
2. Stretch the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of Medium Gel to it. These gels are widespread and can be purchased at any home furnishing store today.
3. Blend the photo onto the blurred canvas and press down. Leave so for several hours, but occasionally sprinkle with water from a spray bottle.
4. Carefully, using your fingertips, begin to erase the back surface of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.

The result is a handsome, frayed look that will only give it a vintage look. It remains only to apply the last layer of the medium gel to it as a protective coating.

For inspiration, we will give you a couple more ways to decorate your interior with a photo.

We use the old window frame as a photo frame. How do you like the idea?

Dekorin will tell you how to get this impressive and sustainable decor:

1. You will need a shallow wooden planting container and metal mesh.
2. To secure the mesh to the container, use an impromptu wooden frame that can be made from small planks or chips. Fasten with staples or nails.
3. Prepare any for composition. They easily take root in the most difficult conditions and look most advantageous when you combine different shades and shapes of leaves. Common examples of succulents: aloe, various cacti, young or stone rose (Sempervivum), sedum (Sedum), grate (Orostachys), etc.
4. Fill the container with soil and plant the plants of your choice in it. Use any cactus mixture for drainage.

Any child will be very happy if he has the opportunity to do something beautiful with his parents. Therefore, even in the most busy schedule, try to set aside a piece of time to devote to activities with children. The sections of our article will provide useful recommendations on how to make a DIY craft from various materials, taking into account the age characteristics of children.

DIY crafts for children from paper

The most frequently used material for applied arts is, of course, paper. Moreover, it is worth paying attention not only to the usual color sets, but also to its other types: corrugated, velvet, designer. You can create do-it-yourself crafts for children from paper flat (applications), as well as voluminous, using various techniques. For example, having learned how to fold a flower using the origami technique, form a beautiful bouquet of tulips.

The easiest DIY crafts for beginners

For those who are just starting to teach their child the applied arts, we advise you to start with the simplest solutions, making easy DIY crafts for children. Perhaps you will like examples of caterpillars made of paper rings, an applique made of colorful fish or funny mice on a piece of cheese.

DIY cardboard crafts for children

Cardboard is an easily accessible material, which is well cut, bend, painted, it is often used in children's creative works. In addition to the set of cardboard purchased in the store, cardboard boxes, disposable dishes, packaging for cereals, egg "honeycombs", as well as toilet paper rolls are used. In our photo catalog you will see what craftsmen make from cardboard with their own hands for children. For example, a stand for pencils, funny animals, jewelry boxes.

Craft "house" with your own hands

Cardboard houses are made at will of any size - it all depends on their purpose. Perhaps it will be a large construction with a child's height, a "dwelling" for dolls, or a do-it-yourself "house" craft made as a New Year's decoration, gift wrapping. In any case, the manufacturing technology is the same, the differences will be in size and design. We have prepared some sketches for making blanks. If you make small structures, there is enough PVA glue and tape holding the parts together. When building a large house, it is better to use a thermal gun for reliability. A DIY Christmas craft "house" is complemented by a decor that imitates snow on the roof (cotton wool, foam balls), and the gift wrap must have at least one opening sash, for example, a door, a roof slope.

How to make a DIY craft out of fabric

Wonderful DIY toys are sewn using fabric. Moreover, not only a single cut, but various scraps, household napkins and even socks. Look at the photo, isn't it, a cute bunny came out of a sock? An older child will do it on his own, and the baby will have to help. Make the necessary cuts and seams, and instruct the child to fill the figure tightly, and also draw the muzzle.

You can also sew crafts for children with your own hands, which will become not only a decoration, a toy, but also a useful little thing, for example, a large soft ottoman duck, a photo of which is in our catalog, a star pillow.

DIY felt crafts for children

Felt is a wonderful comfortable fabric with a vibrant palette of colors. It allows you to sew a variety of DIY crafts for children, and then decorate the nursery with them. Use household napkins (usually sold in a set of four colors) to replace the fabric. Such crafts-toys are sewn with their own hands without the help of a sewing machine, by hand.

DIY children's crafts for the New Year

On the eve of New Year's holidays, children's matinees, rooms are decorated everywhere, lush Christmas trees are dressed up. It is quite possible to make a lot of interesting symbolic additions on your own, without spending money on purchases. These can be the most original balls for the Christmas tree, garlands, other decorations that a child can make.

DIY snowman craft

The snowman is a kind of symbol of winter and, naturally, his presence for the New Year's interior will come in handy. The photos of our selection show options for how to make such crafts with your own hands in stages, using foam balls, socks, pompons. A larger figure, decorated with thread, balloons, glue, is suitable for a kindergarten matinee. Inflate five balloons of different sizes (two are the same for pens). Wrap each of them with a thread dipped in glue (PVA is quite suitable). When the blanks are completely dry, the balls need to burst, get out from the inside. Finished balls are fastened together. Craft "snowman" with your own hands, almost ready. It remains to arrange the eyes (beads, buttons), the mouth from the thread, the nose-carrot (sew from the fabric). Traditionally, the head is complemented with a bucket, the neck is decorated with a scarf.

Santa Claus do it yourself

Santa Claus is indispensable in the New Year's interior. The easiest way is to arrange it from thick paper (cardboard). Use a ready-made template, or make a cone-shaped shape from a sheet, which then, with the help of multi-colored paper, "dress", decorating your face, beard, pens. They do such children's crafts for the New Year with their own hands using fabric (here you will find examples of patterns), plastic bottles, and other improvised means.

Crafts for kindergarten do it yourself

Various creative works for little kindergarten children should be distinguished by simpler techniques and materials. The child is just beginning to learn how to do something beautiful on his own, so you need to choose the most simple, but interesting options.

DIY crafts for kindergarten children: applications

The most common way to teach children to create pictures is with applique. Such crafts for kindergarten with your own hands (photos are presented below) can be designed not only using colored paper, they also take dense fabric, artificial leather, velvet paper, improvised materials (cotton pads, cereals, etc.), natural raw materials (leaves, seeds) ... Children of older groups can start voluminous work, for example, make an applique in a box "aquarium" with hanging representatives of the aquatic world.

DIY crafts in a garden from natural material

Often, especially in the fall, exhibitions of works are held showing do-it-yourself crafts for kindergarten from natural ingredients. Chestnuts, acorns, cones, sunflower seeds, pumpkins, colorful autumn foliage - all this provides a great basis for the development of children's imagination. To make various figures, compositions are additionally used plasticine, which holds the parts together or forms the base. Pictures of DIY crafts using natural raw materials are presented in our photo selection. Feel free to try using them by making a chestnut caterpillar, a hedgehog, and other samples.

DIY crafts for school

School work varies in complexity. If handicrafts in elementary school with their own hands have simple shapes, then high school students with enough skills are able to arrange more complex compositions, for example, a bouquet of roses from maple leaves, a cardboard town or a paper basket with asters.

DIY crafts to school, the photos of which are posted below, involve the use of a large selection of raw materials, including all sorts of improvised means (plastic dishes, DVDs, matches, buttons).

Crafts for schoolchildren with their own hands using the facing technique

Trimming is a rather entertaining creative process that is suitable for children of different ages. It allows you to create "fluffy" pictures that will decorate the room, as well as an original gift for relatives. DIY crafts in elementary school have simplified options until the child acquires certain skills. For example, only the outline of the picture can be drawn in this way.

To make a lush applique, you will need corrugated paper, scissors, glue, a match or a toothpick with a blunt end, a sketch drawing on cardboard. Before making the craft with our own hands, we cut the paper into small squares (0.5 cm), which we sort by color. Grease the sketch with glue. We put the match in the center of the square, turn it (so that the corrugation is fixed on it), then glue it with its end to the sketch. Thus, we decorate the entire drawing, applying the necessary colors of the corrugated squares.

Teaching to create beauty on your own is the best way to develop a child's creativity. DIY children's crafts significantly develop the imagination, giving the joy of an interesting joint pastime with adults.
