Crafts for the kitchen
The kitchen is the soul of the apartment and simply cannot do without beautiful decor. Cozy napkins on the table, bright potholders, elegant covers for stools and chairs will look great here. Similar fabric crafts for the home can be created from old T-shirts, dresses, and even small pieces of fabric using the patchwork technique.
Cozy coasters for hot dishes can be made from old wine bottle caps. To do this, they can simply be glued together or secured to a small piece of plywood. You can make a charming tray in the same way.
A cute cutlery stand can be made from tin cans for drinks or canned food. To do this, they are simply painted in the same or different colors and fastened together with strong glue.
A knife stand can be made from an unnecessary jug or glass jar. To do this, they are filled with wooden kebab skewers or various cereals, creating an unusual pattern.
Cute containers for spices are made from glass baby food jars. To do this, they are cleared of stickers, corresponding pictures or inscriptions are drawn on the sides, and the resulting beauty is covered with colorless varnish. Or you can go further and purchase special napkins for decoupage, giving ordinary containers an antique look.
Earth and Saturn in papier-mâché technology
As you might have guessed, the Moon is not the only model that can be made using papier-mâché. The materials for work are the same as in the first case. Let's see what has changed in the step-by-step diagram:
- We prepare two bases from balls covered with pieces of newspaper. We send it to dry.
- We pierce the balls and remove the remaining rubber.
- We cover the model of Saturn with yellow paint, in some places we make strokes with orange (this makes our planet look much more realistic).
- Preparing the asteroid belt: measure the circumference of the craft with a centimeter tape. Using a compass, draw a circle of the required diameter in the center of the cardboard sheet. We form the second circle 5 cm further.
- We cut out our asteroid belt and put it on the craft.
- For the second planet we will need a globe or its expanded model (download from the Internet). Next, act as your imagination and artistic abilities allow you.
Crafts Earth and Saturn are ready. You can hang them at home, near your baby’s bed, or you can, with equal success, present the models at a school exhibition.
Crafts for the bedroom
Everything in the bedroom should ensure quality rest, so soft, cozy things are placed here.
You can put a fluffy rug made of pompoms on the floor. To make it you will need a construction mesh and a lot of pom-poms made from leftover wool. The rug can be plain or multi-colored, and experienced craftswomen even create small pictures and patterns from soft lumps.
If there is no wool, then a soft rug can be made from pieces of fabric (any old things can be used for this). To do this, the perimeter of each patch is stitched with thread, padding polyester or cotton wool is inserted into the middle, the fabric is pulled together to form soft knots, which are then sewn together or attached to the base.
Completely unusual and very romantic candlesticks can be made from small glass jars or old glasses. To do this, they are coated with glue, creating the outline of the pattern, and covered with salt, carefully blowing off the excess after the glue has completely dried.
The smallest particles of salt will sparkle exquisitely in the light of a burning candle, creating a mood of romance and magic.
Cozy flower pots can be made from an old pot, a large plastic bottle, or a mayonnaise bucket, if you wrap them with woolen threads. First, the surface must be generously coated with glue.
The decoration of the new house for flowers will be coins, shells, artificial flowers, ribbons or bows. By the way, in the same pots you can create a home kitchen garden of herbs, which will be convenient for flavoring ready-made food.
