The content of the article:

Sometimes you want to pamper your child with a new toy, but you don’t have the financial resources or time to make one. Therefore, we decided to select for you the fastest simple crafts that you will spend no more than an hour on. The family budget will not suffer, since they are made mostly from waste material and all sorts of leftovers.

How to make a doll from threads and a dandelion with your own hands?

You will create it while relaxing in a cozy chair. The main thing is to place everything you need nearby so that you don’t have to get up again. This:

threads;
half a sheet of cardboard;
scissors;
strip of flesh-colored fabric;
markers.

If you don't have cardboard on hand, but have a postcard, use it. The height of this paper material will determine the height of the doll.

Wrap the threads around the card in an impressive layer.
Tie the finished winding with thread. Determine where the doll's head will be. Mark it by also rewinding it with thread.
Do the same for your right and left hands. To make a doll's hands from threads, wrap your hands at wrist level and cut the yarn in the area of the toy's fingers.
Also use threads to separate the torso from the legs, and perform them using the same technique as the arms, just make them longer.
Measure a strip of flesh-colored fabric according to the volume of the head, glue its sides.
Wind hair threads around your hand and cut through the resulting roll on one side. Glue to the head, trim the bangs if desired.
Use markers of different colors to draw facial features.
Sew a sweater for a toy or tie it with a piece of fabric to make an apron. You can tie a handkerchief to make it a cloak. Children are happy to make such clothes, and they will certainly appreciate a new doll made from threads.

If you are making a girl doll, then you do not need to mark her legs. Let the threads cut evenly at the bottom become a skirt.

Such simple crafts will surely delight the kids. You can also create a fluffy dandelion from leftover threads.

For this charm you will need:

yellow and green yarn;
wire;
PVA glue;
knitting fork or metal staple;
scissors;
gypsy and thin needle.

Manufacturing sequence:

Wind the yellow yarn around a crochet fork. Thread a thread of the same color into the gypsy needle. Sew it down the middle.
Lubricate the resulting line well with glue. Remove the created fabric of yarn from the fork and roll it with a roller.
A thread is wound in the middle to give the workpiece a dumbbell shape. Coat the middle of this part with glue on top and wait until it dries.
Such simple crafts are interesting for both adults and children. They are made quickly, but part of the time is spent waiting for the glue to dry. Therefore, it is better to make crafts in the evening, and continue the entertaining needlework the next day. What are we going to do now?
Cut the resulting dumbbell in the middle. On the first and second flowers, you need to cut the loops with scissors and carefully comb them to get fluffy caps of two dandelions.
The green yarn from which we will make sepals must be cut into pieces 4 cm long. We thread the same thread into a gypsy needle, sew the pieces across, but not in the middle, but 2/3 away from the edge.
Trim the top with scissors, trim it, make another line parallel to the first.
Apply glue to the back side of the flower and attach the sepals here. Wrap it with the same thread you used to stitch it. Glue both ends and leave the workpiece to dry.
Meanwhile, you will wind the green thread onto the glue-coated wire. You will get a stem.
Insert a thick needle into the sepal from below and twist to make a hole for the stem. Install it there, having previously lubricated this part with glue.
The leaves can be crocheted, but since we are making simple crafts, cut them out of green paper or cardboard and glue them to the stem.

How to quickly make crafts from animal tissue?

If you want to spend less than 30 minutes making a new toy, then make these funny mice. They don't even need to be sewn. By making the slits in a certain way, you will make these rodents.

See if you have:

pieces of felt;
juice straws;
beads or small buttons.

If yes, then put some scissors and glue nearby and start an exciting activity.

For each mouse you need to cut two parts from one fabric. The first will become a body, pointed on the muzzle, rounded on the other side. Cut out the ears in the shape of a figure eight.
From a fabric of a different color you need to cut out a small circle for the nose and two larger ones for the ears, and glue them in place.
Using scissors or a utility knife, make 4 cuts on the body of the mouse. Two will be vertical, at the back of the head, and the other two you will make in the rump area to place the straw here. Place the ears on the head, threading them through the slits.
All you have to do is glue beads or buttons instead of eyes and marvel at how quickly crafts are made from simple materials.

The next one is also created in a very short time. Cut out a hedgehog or a Christmas tree from felt or rubberized fabric. Make holes in them with the tips of the scissors. This is necessary so that the child can attach fruits and vegetables here with the help of laces, thereby training his fingers.

If your child is bored, you can make a fabric applique with him. Such funny bunnies are also sewn onto the worn knees of children's trousers to update this item.

Transfer the applique onto the fabric and cut it out. The bunny is decorated by sewing a bow to his ears and a carrot on his body. Attach eyes and other facial features. If this is an applique, then you need to glue the hare onto the cardboard.

And here are some simple crafts - in the shape of birds. You can cut them out from leftover felt, glue on a nose, eyes, wings and perform a home performance.

DIY crafts from pine cones for children

They are also made simply and quickly.

To make gnomes, take:

Pine cones;
light plasticine;
pieces of felt or fleece;
glue;
brush.

Follow this procedure:

Let the child roll a ball out of plasticine and use the back of the brush to make indentations for the eyes, mouth, and nose. They will be filled with pieces of plasticine of the corresponding color. So, the eyes can be brown or blue, the mouth red.
Attach the head to the top of the pine cone. Cut a triangle out of felt and glue its sides together to form a cone. Place this cap on your character's head.
Cut out mittens from the remaining fabric and attach them to the pine cone with plasticine.

For a craft made from pine cones like an owl, we will also need:

2 acorn caps;
yellow paint with a brush;
plasticine;
accessories in the form of feathers, ribbons.

Manufacturing instructions:

First, you need to paint the cone and the acorn cap, and continue subsequent work when they are dry.
Let the child roll small balls from black plasticine and stick them to upside-down acorn caps - these are the pupils.
Make a nose out of orange plasticine, attach it in place.
This owl craft made from pine cones is decorated with feathers or ribbon.

To make a snowman, take:

pine cone;
pieces of thick fabric;
two toothpicks;
cotton wool;
2 ice cream sticks;
white paint.

Next, work in this order:

Let the child paint the pine cone and remove it until it dries completely.
Mom will cut out a scarf from plaid fabric and tie it around the snowman’s neck. Make headphones from felt and glue them to the character’s head.
The child will make a snowman’s nose and mouth out of plasticine and attach it to his face.
Make your hands from wire wrapped in a strip of fabric or ribbon. You need to wrap the wire around the bump.
Place toothpicks in the snowman's hands, with pieces of cotton wool glued to the bottom of these sticks.
Paint the popsicle sticks and when dry, place the snowman on these skis.

The fourth craft is a Christmas tree made of pine cones and an owl. The bird is made from a small pine cone. Fill the acorn caps with play dough to make the eyes. Attach the nose from plasticine, after which the owl from cones craft is ready.

Quick and easy to make and these are the piglets. Glue the scales from the cones to the fir cones in the form of ears. Attach the snouts that will become the acorn caps. You can use plasticine rather than glue for this.

Paint the piglets pink, you can use spray paint for this. Once it's dry, only then will you attach the little black beads that will become the eyes.

For this craft you need an unopened pine cone. But over time, the scales open up. To avoid this, dip the cones in wood glue diluted with water for half an hour.

Remove them from the solution and shake them off. After 3 days, the cone will dry completely, securing the scales, which will now not open. After this, you can cover this natural material with paint and make new objects.

The next simple craft is a forest corner. For her, take:

CD disk;
plasticine;
spruce and pine cone;
acorn cap;
glue;
paints;
eyes for toys.

It’s better to make this craft with the whole family - someone will work on the hedgehog, another will decorate the disk, and the child will paint the Christmas tree, let it dry while it’s done.

Paint the disk green and draw flowers on its surface.
Let the child roll the caps and stems of the mushrooms and connect them.
The base for the hedgehog can be sculpted from plasticine or polymer clay. Then cover it with brown paint.
When it dries, stick scales from a fir cone into the back of the hedgehog. Place a cap on his head.
Glue the eyes, nose, mouth, put a cane stick in your hand. In the other there will be a basket with mushrooms, which are molded from plasticine.
Attach the hedgehog to the stand, after which another wonderful craft is ready.

If you remove part of the cone from one side and paint the blank white, you will get wonderful flowers. You just need to attach yellow plasticine circles in the middle.

Tie floral wire to the pine cones and place picturesque flowers in a jar previously wrapped with twine.

You can also make another craft from pine cones for the garden, such as a wonderful decorative basket.

If you need to quickly make a hedgehog to bring to kindergarten, mold its body and head from beige plasticine, and roll out its eyes and nose from black plasticine. Stick in the seeds, which will become spines.

Simple crafts for a great mood

Now the sun rarely comes out, and the weather is increasingly cloudy. To avoid succumbing to despondency at this time of year, create mischievous tricks that will certainly improve your mood.

Place these cheerful flowers in a vase at home, which can be made from almost nothing. All you need to do is:

colored paper;
cardboard from a white box;
marker;
stationery knife;
tape;
scissors.

For each flower you need to cut out three blanks. Two are made from the same colored paper; they will each contain six petals. Place one of them in front of you, stick a circle on top, with holes pre-made for the eyes and mouth with a stationery knife.

Color the eyes with a black marker and bend the petals forward.

Cut a stem from cardboard. At the top, on one side, glue the finished part, on the other, a pre-cut flower with petals.

Fold a green sheet of paper in half, draw an oval line on it, and cut along it. If available, use zigzag scissors. Keep the notches simple.

Tie the paper flowers with a ribbon, and if you have taffeta, then use this fabric for decoration. You have got a bouquet that will never fade and will make you happy.

You can attach flowers with a toothpick to washed beets or pineapple. You will get a beautiful shell for a turtle. You will make her arms, legs and head and neck from carrots. Attach these parts to the body using toothpicks as well.

If you want the New Year to come quickly, decorate white objects in your apartment by turning them into snowmen.

Attach black magnets to the refrigerator, and now a holiday character has taken up residence in your kitchen. If you draw on a white vase or glue round eyes and an orange nose in the shape of a carrot, then another snowman will amuse everyone gathered at the table.

See what other quick and easy crafts you can make.

Every housewife and owner wants to make their home beautiful and comfortable. This article contains a variety of ideas for the home that allow you to achieve this result with little time, money and effort.

Decorating the walls

Recently, walls painted or covered with plain wallpaper have become very popular. Yes, they serve as an excellent backdrop for accessories, furniture, etc. But large empty spaces require some additions. How to decorate an empty wall? There are a lot of ways, you just need to choose the right one.

Geographic maps on the walls

An extremely simple and very effective idea for the home that helps solve the problem of empty walls is to stick a geographical map. It is not suitable for every room or every interior, but you can find options for a child’s room, office, balcony or loggia, and in some cases even for a bedroom or living room. It is important to choose the right map for the interior, and there are not only “ordinary” ones - geographical ones. There are vintage, navigational, stylized, etc.

Where can I look for similar cards? Geographic maps can be found in bookstores or stationery stores. You won’t find stylized or antique ones there. Some options can be found in wallpaper stores. There they come in the form of photo wallpapers. There are many different ones on the beloved Aliexpress, you can search in other online stores. But there is another option: find the card you like on the Internet, save it to a medium and print it out at a company that deals with outdoor advertising. The only requirement: a large format card. They, of course, will be able to increase it, but not indefinitely. So the initial image must be of high quality and large.

We make modular paintings

The idea for the home - paintings and photos on the walls - is not new and many people are tired of it. Yes, it's a classic, but I want something new and unusual. One option is modular paintings. This is one image divided into a different number of fragments. Fragments can be different in size or the same. Often these “pieces of images” are called “modules”, hence the name “modular picture”.

You can take any poster, banner, or photo wallpaper as an object. You can, again, print the image you like at an advertising agency. In this case, you can even take a photo of yourself or close friends, your favorite landscape, etc. Based on the composition of the drawing, it is divided into several parts and cut. Frames are made for the fragments. The dimensions of the frames should be 3-5 cm smaller than the fragments so that the module can be wrapped and secured on the back side.

Nature is one of the most popular motifs. Sunset on the sea - what could be more romantic? Beach, sun, summer...
And flowers again... Symmetrical division is also possible Fantasy - an option for teenagers

Frames can be made of wooden planks, covered with thin plywood or fiberboard. But the easiest way is to take foam plastic of sufficient density (300-350 g/m³) with a thickness of 4-5 mm or more. It doesn't cost much, you can cut it with any hacksaw, it won't damage the paper, it weighs a mere trifle, so you can even secure the modules with double-sided tape. You can attach images to the tablets using glue (find a suitable one), or using a construction stapler and staples.

Decorative mirrors

Ideas for the home using mirrors are not new. The first examples of this magical glass appeared before our era and were extremely expensive and rare. And no wonder. The mirror itself is an excellent accessory, and if it has an unusual shape or an amazing frame, it will definitely become an interior decoration.

It’s so simple - circles made of mirrors, and the interior is transformed Butterflies from the mirror - an interesting idea
If you decorate a shelf, chest of drawers, bedside table in the same style...

Such compositions can be made not only from an ordinary mirror - coated glass. There is an acrylic mirror on the market. This is a flexible and absolutely safe material. It does not give such an ideal reflection as a “normal” mirror, but for these conditions it is not required. You need a plastic material that is easy to work with. They sell sets of fragments of different shapes and sizes, with double-sided tape glued to the back side. Attaching such a mirror is simple: remove the protective film from the adhesive tape, apply it and press it. All.

We make accessories for home decoration

Many ideas for the home concern the creation of unique designer crafts that make our home memorable and cozy. These are the things that create the atmosphere of a home. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to spend an incredible amount of time and money on their creation. There are very simple ideas using the most ordinary, and sometimes even junk, things.

Ideas for your home are a whole sea of possibilities for improving your interior or making your life more comfortable...and sometimes both

Decorating vases and bottles with lace

Amazing transformations can take very little time. For example, from an ordinary vase, bottle or jar you can make a uniquely beautiful vase. Moreover, the process itself will take 10-15 minutes. This is if you have everything at hand. And besides decoration objects, you only need lace, PVA glue, scissors and a brush.

Everything is exactly as you thought. We simply wrap the vessel in lace, cut it to size, glue it, and wait until it dries. This is all. But the result will please you.

Who said lace has to be white...

Lace can be bought or knitted. The second option allows you to decorate vases of complex shapes, which can be decorated with great difficulty with ordinary lace. If you don’t know how to knit, but want to decorate a vase with an unusual shape, look for a stretch one. There is such a thing, and in a fairly wide range. With the help of a stretchy openwork, most problems are removed.

Zen garden

If you're looking for creative ideas for your home, consider a miniature zen garden. It’s not difficult to make, it looks great, and it can also help you relax and calm down after a hard day at work. Only this accessory is not for families with small children.... You will understand why.

The original Zen garden is a rather complex system, but stylizations can be made from a transparent round container or even from a glass candy bowl, vase, or small aquarium. You will also need sand for landscape design, terrariums or aquariums and a Crassula plant or cactus.

First, let's figure out what to do with the plant. it can be planted in a small pot and buried in the sand. Instead of a pot, you can use a sock with soil (tie the sock). Some plants (cacti) can be planted directly in the sand. In general, you choose any method, but when planting directly in the sand, you need to take care of normal drainage - put pebbles on the bottom.

Sand is poured into the container, a pot with a plant or its roots is installed, and the whole thing is covered with sand to a certain level. All is ready. Now the surface of the sand is leveled and drawings are applied to it. There is a special metal stick for drawing, but a wooden one is also suitable for starting.

If you want to get closer to the original, you can make a tabletop version of a Japanese garden from a small box. The frame of the box is assembled from wooden blocks or bamboo trunks, the bottom is usually made of plywood or well-fitted and treated wooden planks. You can also make legs.

The resulting container is also filled with fine sand, but what else to add there is up to you. You can plant several plants, lay stones, pebbles, put candles, a Buddha statue. In general, everyone here already creates their own zen))

Mini garden in the house

There are two types of miniature gardens that can be made to decorate the interior of a house or apartment: open and semi-closed. An open mini-garden is made in large flat pots and pallets. You can use miniature bonsai plants, succulents and small cacti.

When selecting plants, pay attention not only to size, but also to the soil in which the plants grow. If the mini-garden area is large enough, it can be divided into zones with different soil acidity, but this will require physical separation, as well as delimitation using physical plastic partitions so that the soils do not mix.

This interior decoration recreates a real garden. With paths, benches, rockeries, etc. You can put up a toy house or make a pond. Whatever your imagination tells you.

Semi-closed mini-gardens are made in glass containers. Round ones look very interesting: aquariums, vases. Soil or stones are poured into them and plants are planted. But in such a limited volume, it is necessary to select plants not only by soil type, but also by the degree of illumination, watering regime, etc. It will not be possible to care for plants in a jar differently.

The smallest gardens... And then - a garden of moss... a piece of a fairy tale

In such containers you can grow different varieties of moss. In fact, they are very beautiful and only in such miniature gardens can you examine them down to the smallest detail. Some of them resemble trees or shrubs, others are more like herbaceous plants. A wide variety of compositions are created from pebbles and moss, reproducing real landscapes or transporting us to a fairyland.

DIY sofa pillows

If you look at the photos of interiors, you will notice that in most of them, pillows add zest to the interior. With their help, a boring interior turns into a lively and memorable one. In addition, a large number of pillows allows you to rest comfortably. Such home decor ideas allow you to quickly change the “mood of the interior,” adding home comfort.

In the case of using fabrics, everything is clear - we select the color and texture to match the interior. But there are homemade pillows that exude coziness. A striking example of this is knitted pillows. A variety of patterns, colors, shapes. But the result is the same - you really want to hug them and cuddle them. They look very unconventionally.

From old flannelette pajamas and a sweater And these old jeans turn into an original pillowcase...all you need is fabric with an adhesive base Knitted miracle - very cozy Lace for finishing pillows - you need to choose the style Fleecy fabrics - simple and effective

What to do if you don't know how to knit? It's no problem. There are old sweaters. Yours or children's. They make very interesting and neat pillows. Cut the old knitted items along the sleeves, put the pillow in the half-finished pillowcase, and sew it up on both sides. That's it, the designer pillow is ready.

You can also use lace, fleecy fabrics, old jeans, even pajamas. Everything is going well. And the stranger the coloring, the more interesting the result.

Ideas for the home: various little things with your own hands

The atmosphere and comfort in the house is created not only by global things. Many small things that can be made from scrap materials bring no less and, sometimes, more pleasure and benefit. You use them often. And after a month you don’t look at the same paintings or mirrors anymore. A number of ideas for turning your home into a cozy and comfortable place have been collected in this section.

Opportunities are a sea

Shoe tray with pebbles

Owners of private houses have to go out into the yard regardless of the weather. That’s why shoes don’t always shine clean. Many people get out of this situation by placing a rubber mat near the door or by placing a rubber tray. Yes, the dirt does not spread, but the view is not the most attractive. You can significantly improve the situation by simply pouring pebbles into the tray. The water will flow over the stones, the drips on them will not be visible, and neither will the dirt. Periodically, you will need to soak the pebbles in water and rinse them to remove accumulated dirt, but pebbles are a reusable material and they simply cannot be “erased off.”

If there is no rubber tray, you can knock down a wooden box with a side height of about 10 cm. Pebbles can be found on the banks of a river, sea, etc. As a last resort, you can find it in designer stores or where aquarium products are sold. But buying this “charm” is expensive.

Scarf storage

Every family usually has a lot of scarves, neckerchiefs and other similar items. How to store them so that they don’t take up a lot of space, are always at hand, and don’t get wrinkled? There are several life hacks that you can easily do yourself.

First. We attach metal rings to a regular hanger. Rings can be plastic or metal. Both can be found in departments selling. There are all sorts of them, in shape, size and material. Rings can be nailed to wooden hangers/hangers/trempels, attached with staples, or glued or tied with thread to plastic hangers. And that’s it, you have a device for storing scarves.

The situation is a little more complicated with the second device. You will need a treated board and a dozen or two clothespins. We attach clothespins to the bar with one side. They can be nailed, screwed, or glued. You will also need hinges to secure the structure itself to the wall.

Both ideas for the home are practical, require a minimum of money and a little time. And evaluate the benefits yourself. Especially in the spring-autumn period, when there are a lot of scarves, scarves, and flowerpots on the shelf.

Instead of a bookshelf

- a good thing, but they are not appropriate everywhere, and good copies cost a lot of money. But books need to be stored somewhere. The solution is metal staples. When installing them, the lower book serves as a support for 4-5 pieces, which are simply stacked on it.

Book holder - everything ingenious is simple

The disadvantage is obvious - the lower book is inaccessible. The solution is to put the most unpopular or unnecessary one down.

Holders for keys and other small items

One of the biggest problems is where to hang the keys so that they can be quickly found, and also instantly hung or removed. One of the good options is a magnetic board, but where to look for it is a question. But you can make funny holders from tennis balls. They are cut to about a third of the diameter. That's all. The holder is ready. It just needs to be secured somewhere. You can - on the wall using nails, you can attach several pieces on a separate board, and then attach the board itself to the wall, cabinet, etc.

Instead of a key holder - cute faces

You can make such a holder for small items in a matter of seconds. Look longer for tennis balls. And to make it even more interesting, eyes are glued to the ball. It turns out to be such a cheerful smiley.

Basket made of plastic bins and clothespins

Every household is full of plastic food containers, but ideas for the home using them are rare. We found one such option in which the hero is a liter mayonnaise container. In principle, any can of large diameter and small height can be used. Otherwise, the “basket” will be inconvenient to use.

Waste into income - a basket made from a plastic can

Using universal glue, we glue the containers with clothespins. When the glue has dried, coat the surface with varnish or wood oil. We cover the inside with a cover made of cotton or linen. We make it a little longer than necessary so that we can hide the unsightly edge behind the lapel.

We make the handle from steel wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm. We bend an arc from it. We make a loop at one end, and in the side, using a nail heated over a fire, we make two diagonally located holes (one opposite the other). We thread the formed loop on the handle into one hole. We bend the wire on the second side, thread it through the second hole, and then form a loop. We decorate the handle with hemp rope. You can also make decorations for a basket from it. If you know how to weave macrame - great, no - a regular braid woven from several threads will do.

Stand for a sofa or chair for cups/glasses/newspapers

Sipping tea in your favorite chair is a great idea. But there’s nowhere to put the cup, the phone always falls between the seat and the “bytsy”. The armrests of modern models are soft, you can’t put anything on them. So smart people came up with the idea of making a stand for cups/glasses (pictured). An extremely simple and very convenient thing. Few ideas for your home will bring you more pleasant moments.

You will need three boards with a width of at least 25 cm. They are knocked down in the shape of the letter “P” (the connection can be strengthened using carpentry corners). The height of the jumper is slightly greater than the height of the armrest; the table should protrude no more than 1/3 of the width of the seat, otherwise you simply will not sit in the chair. The structure is placed on its side, the lower part is pushed under the chair. It serves as a stop and prevents the structure from turning over. To be sure, make the lower part much longer than the “table”. Also, for mobility, you can install wheels, but do not forget that the legs of modern furniture are low and the wheels need small ones, and they will have to be attached from the side. Otherwise, the stand simply won’t fit under the chair.

Where to hide dog bowls

Dog owners know how difficult it is to find space for their dog bowls. Dogs living in an apartment or house are usually fed in the kitchen. There they are given bowls. But they are needed for half an hour a day, and then they get underfoot on the floor all day. The problem can be solved, and elegantly. We place the bowls in one of the drawers. If they were needed, they opened the box and poured in food. Feeding is over - the bowls have been washed, put back in place, and the drawer has been pushed back. Everything is perfect and does not bother anyone.

This idea will require a little modification to the drawer. A small section bar or corner is placed around the perimeter. A rectangle of the required size is cut out of plywood or other sheet material. We cut holes in it for the bowls, then paint (if necessary). That's all, the idea has been implemented. All that remains is to train the pets.

Idea for storing slippers

In any house or apartment with two or more inhabitants, slippers always get lost, confused and disappear somewhere. One of the interesting ideas for solving the problem is such pipes/holders for slippers. Each pair has its own pipe. Order is guaranteed.

The pipes can be made of stainless steel, or they can be cut from large diameter plastic pipes. You just need to process the cut well - so that it is comfortable and beautiful.

If you want to decorate your home without spending money, you can make a craft with your own hands from available materials. It is not difficult to do the work at home. First, you need to conduct an audit of your dacha, balcony, garage, and select old and unnecessary things.

Cut strips measuring 7x45 cm from the bags and make tubes. Wrap them so that they are pressed against the walls of the container.
Glue a long tube to the bottom, and wrap a smaller tube around it. Wrap all the tubes in this way, then change direction and continue weaving.
Make 2 holes in the top of the pot walls. For convenience, you can use a hot nail.
Thread twine through the holes and tie knots at the ends. To hide the ends of the twine, you can weave 1 more tube.

Awaken your imagination

You can create many amazing and unusual things with your own hands:

Celebrating the New Year with a Christmas tree

An unusual Christmas tree can be made from wine corks.

The barrels are glued together, forming the shape of a Christmas tree: 2 pyramids, which are connected between soda first with toothpicks, and then glued together.
A small stick in the shape of a stump will be the base for this tree. The ends of the barrels are covered with green paint and some are painted in different colors to give the feeling of New Year's balls on the tree.

A gift for the Christmas tree can be packed in a box made in the shape of a heart.

Sweet craft

A bouquet of sweets can be an interesting craft.

Strips of 150x40 mm are cut from multi-colored paper.
They need to be twisted in the center and bent in half. This is how the petals are formed.
The candy is strung on an elongated toothpick. This will be the stem of the flower; it needs to be wrapped in green corrugated paper.
The petals are glued to the candy itself.
The bouquet will be decorated with organza. Figures with sides 13-16 cm are cut from it.
The resulting squares are placed on the stem in the center and rise close to the made flower bud. The organza adheres to the candy, creating a slight waviness.

Now you can form a bouquet and decorate it with a satin ribbon.

Crafts made from natural materials

An unusual craft would be a cake maker made from a cut tree.

The saw cut must be coated with wood varnish, which will highlight its design even more clearly.
One board will serve as a cake stand.
And wooden cuts connected into 2 or 3 tiers will resemble a dessert stand.

Keyboard for creating jewelry

Many interesting and unusual crafts can be made from a keyboard. A little fashionista can make a personalized bracelet out of a keyboard.

A word is assembled from the letters of a broken keyboard.
Each letter button has 2 holes on each side. The letter will have 2 holes in a row at the top and 2 holes in a row at the bottom.
2 elastic bands will be threaded through them, which will be parallel to each other.
You can make knots on the back of the letters so that the buttons do not move on your hand. The elastic thread can match the color of the letters, or you can specially choose a different color. Then the bracelet will be original and bright.

Another keyboard accessory for fashionistas: select the Scroll Lock or Print Screen SysRq buttons.

On each button, one hole is punched in the corner for small metal rings.
The earrings are already put into the rings.

All the necessary parts: rings, bows, clasps for the bracelet are available for sale in the handicraft department.

Learning the quilling technique

A postcard made using the quilling technique can be an unusual craft. This technology is based on creating different pictures and shapes using rolled paper. The activity is interesting for both adults and children. Together you can create a whole picture or an interesting postcard. Flower bouquets made in this way can be on cardboard or in a basket.

All parts and the basket, including those, are made according to the same principle. To create a large flower, you need to glue several strips together. The center of the flower is formed by tightly twisting spirals of strips of paper.

The fluffy daisy is made by cutting the top of the strip, which forms its core. The cuts should not be too deep. The quilling technique allows you to create basic shapes that are used in crafts.

Shapes are created by twisting paper:

The technique is based on a spiral or roll. It is twisted tightly or loosely and the number of turns is always different. Tight coils are created around the rod. A relaxed twist creates a loose roll.
The shape of the leaf is created by a loose roll, the two ends of which are slightly flattened.
Deformation of the free spiral on 4 sides creates a square or rectangle.
If you move the center of the free roll slightly down and flatten the top part, you get a drop.
A drop with a flat base forms a triangle.
If the base of a triangle is bent inward, then in this way an “arrow” figure is obtained.

Knowing how to make basic figures, you can start by making a small postcard.

Panel of lids

A multi-colored panel can be made from plastic caps. The variety of their colors is simply amazing. Now it’s important to come up with a plot for the picture.

Using a sock for a craft

An unusual craft can be made from a seemingly ordinary thing, for example, a sock. Everyone has socks in their house that they no longer wear, but it’s a shame to throw them away. This is exactly the sock you need. An unusual craft could be a snowman, who will first celebrate the New Year with you, and then become a place to store needles.

To work, you need to prepare a sock. Just above the bulge for the heel, the upper part of the toe is cut off. All you need is the lower part.
It is necessary to stuff it with cotton wool and tighten the hole at the top and sew it up. It turned out something like a pear.
The figurine is slightly tightened with thread, which creates the appearance of two balls connected to each other. The lower one will be larger (torso) than the upper one (head).
Then your imagination comes into play. The head is decorated with beads: eyes, mouth; buttons are made at the bottom.
The tip of the other sock can be used as a snowman hat. You need to lightly grab the cap with threads so that it doesn’t fall off. And tie a scarf around your neck.

Shown imagination will make any craft unusual. You can borrow some idea, but improvisation is yours.

You can make a large number of original crafts from scrap materials. If you have a lot of plastic bags, scraps of fabric, unnecessary pens or old dishes at home, do not rush to throw it all away.
