Cosiness in the house is created by cute things to the heart. However, the most dear to the heart are those that are created with their own hands. Try to do some interesting things for the home, and you will see that it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Creativity can be everywhere. A little effort, and cute homemade products will decorate your home. At the same time, you don’t have to spend money on expensive materials, and if you involve households in the process, such events can be a favorite pastime of the whole family.
Thread panel
To do interesting things for the home with your own hands, you do not need to have outstanding abilities. Everything can be useful for creativity. For example, an empty wall in the living room can be decorated with an exclusive panel, for the manufacture of which you will need such materials:
- a large cutting board or piece of thick plywood;
- several dozen small cloves;
- threads of the right colors;
- hammer.
First you need to draw the selected pattern or picture on the board. If you don’t know how to draw at all, you can simply print the stencil, and then put it on the board and fix it around the edges with tape so that it does not move.
Drive the cloves along the outline of the picture at the same distance from each other. It is important to ensure that they enter the board at the same depth, approximately to the middle of their length.
If you stuffed nails through the paper, then at the end of the work, simply tear it off. A clear outline of the pattern should remain on the board.
Tie the end of the thread to one clove, and then gently pull it to the next, make one turn and move on. Go from nail to nail without breaking the thread until the image is ready.
Bath mat
Another necessary and interesting thing for the house can be made from ordinary wine corks. True, for crafts they will need a decent amount, at least a hundred. This is a wine cork bath mat.
To do it is very simple, you will need:
- a piece of dense fabric or rubber of the desired shape and size;
- traffic jams;
- a sharp knife, preferably clerical;
- glue gun or other good glue.
Corks must be cut lengthwise into 2 parts and glued down to the selected base. If desired, you can lay out the pattern or simply lay the cork in rows. Now you need to put on top of some board and put the load. In this position, leave for a day so that the cork pieces stick well.
If you are often at sea, you can stock up on a certain amount of flat sea pebbles. According to the same principle, it can be used to make a massage foot mat or area for wet shoes, which is best placed at the front door.
No electricity night
Your child is afraid to sleep without light, but are you worried that the nightlight will burn all night? The problem is easily solved. Together with the baby, make an original nightlight that does not require electricity at all. To make it you will need:
- ordinary liter can;
- several multi-colored or plain glass pebbles (such are usually used for decoration);
- brush;
- a bottle of fluorescent paint (can be bought at a needlework store).
Take a jar and on the inner walls with a brush, apply in a chaotic manner drops of luminous paint. Let it dry. At the bottom of the jar, sprinkle a few glass naked. Done! Throughout the day, particles of paint will absorb light, and at night a completely safe and original lamp will turn out of the can.
Exclusive Print Cups
Interesting things for the home can be made from anything. For the next craft, you will need a regular nail polish and a bowl of water. Each girl has several bottles of varnish, which for one reason or another are not used. You do not need to throw them away, they are useful for decorating cups.
Pour some cold water into a large bowl. From the top, drip a few drops of nail polish and use a regular toothpick to stretch the stain a little over the surface. Take the cup by the edges and submerge the bottom in water, right in the center of the spot. Remove, turn over and allow to dry. The original cup is ready.
Christmas tree made of cones
Walked with the children in the forest and gathered a lot of cones? Make a Christmas tree out of them! Using a glue gun, connect the cones to each other in the shape of a cone. You can paint the whole Christmas tree green or use a brush to apply a white “snowball” of paint on the tips. And you can leave it like that, too, very beautiful!
To do interesting things for the home, you do not need to have special knowledge and skills. Enough desire and a little imagination.
