Country pond from an old basin
An original solution was applied to a small plastic basin that had either become unusable or lost its aesthetic appearance. Now it is a small pond, which is made very simply. A small hole was dug in a convenient place, where the basin was installed. Further, just a few types of plants around the new summer cottage, and nice decor. The only issue is the periodic removal of water from such a pond, but we will leave that to the pumps.
Playground accessories
From old and unnecessary things you can make interesting accessories for the playground. At first glance, this is not a very attractive invention, but this is where children can let off steam. Get ready for it to be noisy and fun, but these are costs.
A simple accessory can be made from old frying pans, pots, plastic bowls and flower pots, bottles and other unnecessary items. All you need is a structure frame and a simple body kit with clamps or nails and screws.
Types of homemade carts
Carts for transporting goods are made of wood or metal. Other types of materials do not have the necessary strength. Carts differ in the number of wheels and size. You can assemble the following types of carts with your own hands:
The easiest way to make a one-wheeled wooden cart with your own hands is
- two-wheeled;
You can make a fairly functional two-wheeled cart yourself
- platform four-wheel cart;
The four-wheel metal cart is spacious and durable
- folding cart.
The folding trolley is convenient due to its compactness

Old, shabby and rusty, it makes a great decor for any fence or wall. All you need is a little nutritious substrate and a nice ornamental plant that can be placed inside. Look at the photos below to see how original this product looks.
I would like to change the stroller, but is it worth it?
In general, I don’t know what fabrics to choose for covers, this time. I guess that I will have to disassemble it, and I want to make a five-point instead of a three-point, that’s two. I don’t know what the material on the belts is called, there are three. I have a sewing machine, yes, but I have very little idea how to make a cover, and whether my machine (very old) will take the necessary fabric, that’s four. I don’t know what to buy besides fabric and belts. and most importantly - the price of the stroller - 1,500 rubles - is it worth it?
“throw it away and buy it” comments are good, but it’s better to get to the point, I want to calculate the cost of repairs and make a verdict
