I really want the house to look stylish and expensive, but doing it yourself is actually easier than you might think. From the most ordinary, and sometimes from unnecessary things, do-it-yourself crafts for the home look great.
Expensive furniture, works of art, modern gadgets will undoubtedly make your home look luxurious, but sometimes quite a bit of money, a little creativity and neatness are enough to get an interior that looks expensive and stylish, and all this attractive splendor is very inexpensive.
If you want to put your hands and soul into decorating your home, here are a few ideas on how to do it.
DIY crafts from jars
Use jars to organize such small items like cotton balls, ear sticks, bath salts. This useful decor is perfect for a bathroom or bedroom. Jars can be the same or not, it's not very important here. An important element handles protrude here. These are furniture handles. When I am in construction stores, or in furniture workshops, it is difficult to tear me away from showcases with handles, I am especially attracted to transparent ones, in the form of crystals. It really looks luxurious. I always regretted that I didn’t have such furniture where such luxury could be fastened.
And here it is, a find for beautiful pens. Naturally, the lids on the jars were originally of all kinds of colors, but they were painted with plain white spray paint. And luxurious handles were glued with metal glue.
From bottles
Such an exquisite decoration of the most simple bottles can be made using decal paper with a transparent film. Of course, first you need to paint the bottle in the desired color, and then proceed to decorate the surface.
You need to find an interesting pattern that suits your interior in shape and color and transfer it to the surface of the bottle. The design is printed on decal paper for a laser or inkjet printer.
By the way, this paper is called differently. Decal paper, hymine paper, decal, and even translating paper are all one and the same.
Then, the pattern is cut with scissors and lowered into the water. After 10-12 seconds, the picture will separate from the substrate. You can watch the video, very interesting way accurate transfer of the pattern to the surface of the cup.
Read the guidelines for printing on decal paper carefully. Learn for inkjet or laser printer paper, make sure the paper type is set correctly in the printer settings. Before applying to the surface, it must be degreased with alcohol. The treatment fluid must not contain acetone. Dry the applied pattern with a hairdryer or in the oven. Attention! The temperature in the oven should not exceed 150 degrees.
After application, cover with acrylic matte or glossy varnish, depending on the decoration task.
Using this paper, you can apply drawings that will last for many years, such bottles - vases can be washed, nothing will happen to them.
Everyone who has a creative streak is sorry to throw away an empty "glass container".
And this is the right regret, because even the simplest glass bottles, in the interior look magical.
Serving napkins
Great idea! I talked about such an exquisite home decoration in a previous article about. And I liked Lyudmila Sanzharovskaya's comment that such serving gives status to the owners of the house.
From newspaper and magazine tubes
I never really thought it was like this free material so plastic. I was visiting a children's creative center, with a surprisingly cute name "White Rabbit". The hostess showed me the children's crafts, I was amazed, here is a dish woven from newspapers. After all, you can not distinguish from the vine. This dish will be varnished, it will not be afraid of water, and it can be perfectly used in the kitchen or in the country for fruits.
This craft requires more skill and experience. But, as they say, the beginning of trouble is the beginning.
From a cord
Nice natural color cotton cord is a favorite material for DIY crafts. Planters and organizers look elegant and noble, especially in combination with bright color floss tassels or natural materials such as leather.
Scraps can also be used to make rugs and baskets. But if rugs can only be made from shreds, cut into ribbons and tied together into one thread for knitting. That is a basket, it is better to do it on a cord around which shreds are wrapped. The basket should keep its shape. You can put balls, trimmings and everything that a needlewoman needs in her needlework corner in it.
From an old sweater
A craft box can be made stylish with just an old sweater that no one wears anymore.
book holders
I found such a handsome man on the Internet, I already have an article about holders, but it is difficult to pass by such a charmer. An ordinary stone, so skillfully painted and doing its job so well. functional task. Although the idea of a silver or gold polyhedron looks very expensive in an article about holders, the painted stone looks very cute and homely.
Beans and brushes
This sentence looks more like a life hack, but it looks so stylish that I decided to place this photo in crafts for the home. The truth of "make" here is only the process of pouring beans into a transparent vessel of suitable size.
Crazy shred
The most wonderful technique for crafts for the home is a crazy patchwork or crazy patchwork. This technique is good because all kinds of fabric trimmings are used. Every more or less sewing girl has somewhere a cherished bag with scraps and leftovers. In the technique of real, academic patchwork Special attention given to the selection of fabrics. Even sets are on sale. But in this technique there are no restrictions, and it is easy to perform.
Here, the guest of my site, Luda Strakovskaya, shows how to sew a pot holder using this technique, everything is simple and clear.
In fact, potholders are very necessary and beautiful detail kitchen interior.
But for the living room for this technique there are options. Decorative pillows for beauty, comfort and as a color-binding element of the interior.
A scattering of puzzles
I don't know about you, but I great amount puzzles that migrated from one box to another, got mixed up, rearranged and now it is no longer possible to assemble anything worthwhile from them. And here is such a nice and nice idea for children.
Crafts from buttons
This is a classic of the genre. Everything can be made from buttons, and, in practice, there is no person who would not like to look at buttons. And in the hardware stores, there are always crowds of people near the scattering of discount buttons.
Recently I went to the store, there is such a table with high sides and various buttons are poured inside the slide, which remained in the store one or several pieces, leftovers and illiquid. A special scoop is stuck into the hill, you can directly pick up buttons with a scoop.
Mom and daughter, daughter, 5-6 years old, are picking up buttons in packages, their faces are happy, very happy. I ask what will you do with them. Mom, hastily, - Oh, but we don't know yet.
I so want to see what they composed with their buttons.
Maybe such beauty, for example.
Candles from cinders
Candles are always needed in the house. For creating romantic mood, for rest and release from negative energy the past hard working day, and, of course, for cases when there is an emergency power outage in the house.
Oh, this case in our family, perhaps the most favorite. Especially when the children were small. Everyone pulls up to the kitchen, the kettle is turned on, candles are lit and the minutes of happy family unity come. It would be nice if everyone's phones were dead by this time.
After such gatherings, a decent amount of cinder remains, or rather, this amount depends on the time it takes for the emergency service to troubleshoot the network.
Cinders need to be melted and poured into cups left over from services or for some reason not used for their intended purpose.
And you can make the “cup” itself from the same molten mass.
More ideas for a wooden nursery
A kind of stadiometer, or rather, an age meter made of wooden square planks, will decorate and allow you to observe changes in the size of the handle of the hostess of the room.
Well, or just decorate a children's room on a budget with the involvement of both kids and adults in the creative process.

Restoration of old chests of drawers and sideboards is perhaps one of the main trends of our time.

2. Beautiful things for the home with your own hands: carpets
Perhaps the most pleasant thing about creating things for the home with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you get such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or other motif of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And not once.
The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it should not be too demanding in care: it is not afraid of moisture and is easy to clean. In this case, the master chose the vinyl fabric. It is heavy and strong enough to look like a true carpet. What's more, the quality of vinyl these days is very impressive, and it's available in a wide variety of colors and interesting textures.
All necessary materials and tools:
- Thick paper;
- Vinyl upholstery;
- Scissors;
- 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.
Procedure:
- Create a paper stencil. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the drawing itself on it. Do not worry about your artistic talent - the skin of a zebra and should not look uniform or symmetrical. In extreme cases, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed out to cut out.
- Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and outline the stripes with Krylon pens (spray or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue to paint the areas inside the contours.
- Let the paint dry and you're done! To be sure the pattern will hold, you can "seal" the carpet by spraying a clear coat of acrylic spray paint over it.
Krylon handles create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and is very securely held. If you can’t buy them in your city, then use regular fabric or wall paint. As the next hero of our article.
He took a cheap white rug as a basis and decided to give it interesting view with your own hands using a chevron pattern. All he needed was thin duct tape, scissors, a thick brush, and latex paint two different shades.
Finally, another inspiring example where a makeshift stamp is used instead of a stencil. The master had rubber mat bathroom, leftover wall paint (which was slightly thinned with water to achieve a vintage effect), a roller and an old IKEA wool rug. We look at the photo that he managed to cook from these ingredients.

7. Turn photos into wall decor
This is much cooler than just hanging photos in frames! Your personal photos or any images you like from the internet can turn into beautiful wall art for any room. To make such a decor with your own hands, you can use any of the following methods.
- Find or buy a substrate. A thick sheet of polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam (as in this case), a board and other improvised materials can act as it.
- Print the photo, having previously edited its dimensions so that they are about 5 cm larger than the substrate. These "extra" centimeters will go to the folds.
- Cut the photo and backing into pieces if you want a modular set rather than the whole picture. Otherwise, skip this item.
- Overlay the photo on the substrate and wrap the ends. The author of this product used a double-sided adhesive tape to pin photos. You can mount on ordinary glue or others available funds. The very surface of the photographs can also be treated with glue or gloss paste.
- Print the image and prepare the canvas to which it will be transferred.
- Pull the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of medium gel on it. These gels are widely available and today you can buy them in any store of finishing materials.
- Place the photo on the oiled canvas and press down. Leave it like this for several hours, but periodically sprinkle with water from a spray bottle.
- Carefully, use your fingertips to start erasing the back of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.
As a result, you will get a beautiful one with scuffs that will only give it a touch of vintage style. It remains only to apply the last layer of medium gel on it as a protective coating.
