Creative ideas for your home with your own hands: handmade decor in 30 photos updated: May 3, 2017 by: Natasha Podolyaka

In almost every home there are a lot of old ones that are often a pity to throw away - be it worn-out but once-loved jeans or a blanket, a lampshade or a table inherited from your grandmother. With a little imagination and patience, you can make these items with your own hands, which will advantageously decorate the interior of your home. In addition, the completed craft can become an original and exclusive gift for your friends and family.

Opening the closet

You can start your search for old handicraft items in your wardrobe. Surely somewhere on the far shelf there is an old favorite T-shirt or a worn-out sweater. Don't clutter your closet with things you don't use. Just give your rare jeans or blouse new life!

Pants turn... into elegant shorts!

Things made with your own hands will create a unique image and emphasize style. Faded jeans can easily be turned into summer shorts. For this you will need:

• scissors;
• rhinestones;
• lace;
• a little imagination.

Measure the length of the jeans and mark the boundary along which you will cut off the excess material. Try to carefully cut the fabric along the dotted lines. Don't throw away the pants themselves. They will come in handy for your next craft. Now decorate the bottom by carefully basting it. Pockets can be decorated with rhinestones. Thus, a new and exclusive thing was learned.

Denim crafts. Master Class

From the remaining trouser legs you can make one of the following items:

• mini-handbag (you will also need a cream-colored strap);
• sofa cushion;
• hot stand;
• case for mobile phone;
• cover for an e-book.

These handmade things will be very useful in everyday life. To create a hot stand we will need:

• 20 identical denim strips (15-20 cm each), cut from trouser leg;
• lace;
• threads;
• scissors;
• sewing machine.

All denim strips are laid in a braided pattern. Each horizontal row is stitched (10 times in total). The resulting square is trimmed along the edges to make them smoother. To make the craft look neat, sew braid or lace around the perimeter. The unusual stand is ready!

We care about the printed word

If you are an avid reader and are used to keeping your books in order, make a denim cover for them. Even though this craft requires minimal effort, you will get amazing results!

Materials:

• trouser leg (preferably with a back pocket);
• glue;
• scissors;
• needle with thread;
• book.

Measure out the amount of material needed for the cover. To do this, lay the open book on the jeans and mark a dotted line for the cut, leaving 5 cm as an allowance. Wrap the book in a cut-out blank, sew the edges well. Decorate the cover with a denim pocket, sequins, rhinestones - whatever you want. Decorate the edges of the cover with lace or braid.

Unusual decor

You can also make interesting things with your own hands and profitably change the interior of the room, giving it originality. For those who have accumulated a lot of buttons, we can advise you to make simple ones, but very useful for the home, such as:

New interesting DIY crafts can also be made from disks that have become unusable. It could be like Christmas decorations, which even a child can easily make, as well as items for the home: chandeliers, curtains, boxes and much more. A lamp made from CDs looks very stylish and unusual. In order to fasten them together, you need to stock up on staples or metal rings. Holes in the disks must be made using a screwdriver.

These items, made with your own hands from old things, look very beautiful and unusual.

In the shop for craftswomen

You can make interesting things with your own hands using special material that is sold in any craft store. This can be yarn, a base for embroidery with a pattern, special paper, etc. This material is intended for practicing certain types of needlework: macrame, patchwork, decoupage, quilling, etc. Knowing the basics of work in this area, you can perform unusual crafts. A master class on this type of activity is presented below.

Putting it together piece by piece

Patchwork (translated from English means “working with patchwork”) has become an interesting and very popular type of needlework lately. From fabric scraps, skilled needlewomen create real masterpieces of art: blankets, rugs, carpets and even curtains. In order for the work to be truly high-quality, it is necessary to select fabrics that are similar in texture. It is also desirable that the pattern of the patches be in harmony with each other. It is necessary to cut pieces of fabric taking into account allowances - from 0.5 to 1 cm. The material is cut along the grain thread. Pre-wash and iron the fabric to prevent shrinkage. The material can only be drawn with soap, pencil or chalk, but not with a pen - there is a risk of marks appearing on the front of the product.

Blanket “Spring mood”

For production you need to prepare:

• fabric in green, pink, yellow, orange and blue;
• soap, chalk or pencil, ruler;
• template - square 6 x 6 cm, rectangles 24 x 6 and 12 x 6 cm;
• scissors;
• sewing machine;
• a piece of fabric 111 x 83 cm (for the wrong side of the product);
• padding polyester

Prepare the fabric: wash, dry and iron. Place the prepared cardboard templates on the material. Cut out 12 pink, blue, green and yellow squares, leaving a 1 cm allowance. In addition, you will need 60 squares of the same size, but different color. You will use them to cover the perimeter of the blanket. Prepare 24 strips 24 cm long and 6 cm wide from different fabrics and 24 strips 12 cm long of the same width.

Let's start stitching: take 4 6 cm squares of different colors and sew them together. Then sew 4 strips of the same color around the perimeter of the resulting product: 2 short on the sides, 2 long on the top and bottom. Collect all other squares in the same way. Sew the resulting products together. You should end up with 4 large squares in length and 3 in width.

The next stage is sewing squares (60 pieces set aside) around the perimeter of the blanket. The order of their arrangement by color depends entirely on your imagination. Now you need to sew fabric measuring 83 x 111 cm (3 cm per allowance) to the blanket. The two sides must be connected with the front side facing inward. After you have sewn 3 sides, turn the product inside out and stuff it with padding polyester. Then carefully join the 4th edge (either by machine or by hand). A soft and beautiful blanket is ready!

You can do blankets the same way. Creative things (with your own hands), photos of which are presented in this article, bring warmth and comfort! Try them yourself.

Crafts... made from food

You can even make things for your home from food: various cereals, pasta, dough and even sweets. With a little imagination, you can make paintings, pendants, and even watches! Buckwheat or rice should be glued with PVA glue onto a pre-prepared template. The cereal can be painted - and the picture will sparkle with all its colors. Involve your child in work - this will help him develop fine motor skills hands and imaginative thinking. In order to create, you can use coffee beans. You can also make other interesting things with your own hands from this material, for example, a gorgeous bonsai tree that will delight you and those around you with its original appearance.

A piece of the East

To create a bonsai tree you will need:

• balloon;
• PVA glue;
• brown threads (slightly thicker than nylon);
• thick branch;
• flower pot;
• pebbles

The balloon must be tightly wrapped with a thread soaked in glue and set aside. The workpiece must dry for at least 4-5 hours. Next, the balloon needs to be punctured and carefully removed. On the remaining base, planted on the prepared branch, you need to glue coffee beans. The branch should be strengthened in flower pot using pebbles. The beautiful tree is ready!

Now you know that making things for your home with your own hands is interesting and useful!

Manufacturing DIY things for the home- this is a great opportunity to combine an interesting, exciting creative process with the undoubted benefit of filling the interior with useful and beautiful objects. , which we will look at today, can be repeated very simply; in fact, it is the simplicity of their implementation, coupled with the effective appearance and undoubted usefulness and became the main reason for including them in this small selection.

DIY things for the home: photos

Elegant DIY things for the home, photo which you will see are made in various techniques and belong to different areas of home decor and content. Here is our first idea - a soft floor pouf, analogues of which are quite expensive in a home decor store. But, if you think about it, all you need for this is multi-colored scraps of fabric and filling, as well as a small piece of rope.

Preparation for work will consist of forming rectangles from various pieces of fabric, the larger side of which will be equal in length to the radius of the desired pouf. You yourself can vary exactly what size you want it to be. If it is important for you that the craft is more practical, it can be used not only in the apartment, but also in the country, in the open air, then select fabric with the appropriate qualities. Next, cut the rectangle diagonally into two triangular halves, sew the next rectangle into one, and then cut off half of it. You can initially sew ready-made triangles, but this will make it a little more difficult for you. The wider the rectangular blanks are, the fewer sectors the finished pouf will have. When the circle is closed, the first half of the pouf is ready, while the second, lower half does not have to be assembled from pieces, you can use a whole circle. The rope must be laid inside a rectangle, the length equal to our circumference, and together with it, both parts must be sewn to each other. Leave about 15 centimeters unsewn, through which you can turn the workpiece inside out and fill it with filler. When the desired volume is achieved, close this technical hole with a hidden seam.

Rope or twine will also be suitable for our next craft, because it turns out that in order to make DIY useful things for the home, we need the most simple materials. In this case, we need paste, cling film and a skein of twine or rope. The shape will be a bowl of the size we need, we wrap it tightly with film so that no glue gets under the film, but also so that later this protective layer can be easily removed from the surface of the bowl. Pour the paste into the container (dilute 100 grams of starch with a glass cold water, and then pour the mixture into 750 grams of boiling water, stirring until it thickens) and put the twine there so that it is thoroughly saturated with it. After this, we put the twine on a bowl covered with film, so that we get beautiful, openwork patterns, do not do it too tightly, otherwise all the charm of the craft will be lost. When the glue is completely dry, carefully remove the workpiece from the bowl and separate it from the film. You can put fruits, sweets, seasonal and so on in the finished vase.

Open shelves are becoming more and more fashionable, but you want not only fashionable things in the house, but also unusual ones. Invented just for such lovers creative DIY items for home, a striking example of which is the invisible shelf, which is made from a thick book. In this case, you will still have to visit a hardware store to purchase the missing parts - these are dowel screws and L-shaped fasteners. One end of this bracket is applied to the book and markings are made at the location of the future hole; you need to drill the cover and a dozen pages. After this, the bracket is placed inside and tightened through the cover with a bolt and washer with a plug for beauty, and the other end is hung on the wall. On top of the shelf you can put a few more books, put a lamp, put a phone, in general, use them as you please.

DIY from unnecessary things for the home

But the home craftsman gets the greatest satisfaction from the work done if he manages to do something do it yourself from unnecessary things for the home. This is at the same time also the process of recycling these most unnecessary things. If your house has recently undergone renovations and there are small pieces of expensive, high-quality wallpaper left, then you don’t dare throw them away. And rightly so, because you can use them in decorating furniture, creating interior details, and so on.

You can see examples of the use of wallpaper that was unsuitable for repair in our photos. You don’t even have to cover thick vinyl or non-woven wallpaper with any protective layers; they themselves are quite strong and will serve you for a long time.

You can even accumulate these unnecessary things on purpose in order to eventually get something useful for the household. For example, when we create a wonderful floor mat made from wine corks. The corks need to be carefully cut in half with a breadboard knife and glued onto a rubberized base. You can do this either in even rows or create different patterns by changing the location of the plugs.
