I really want the house to look stylish and expensive, but it's actually easier to do it with your own hands than you might think. From the most ordinary, and sometimes from unnecessary things, do-it-yourself crafts for the house look excellent.
Expensive furniture, works of art, modern gadgets will undoubtedly make your home look luxurious, but sometimes very small funds, a little creativity and neatness are enough to get an interior that looks expensive and stylish, and all this attractive splendor is quite inexpensive.
If you feel like putting your hands and soul into decorating your home, here are some ideas on how to do it.
DIY crafts from jars
Use jars to organize these small items like cotton balls, ear sticks, bath salt. Such a useful decor is perfect for a bathroom or bedroom. The jars may or may not be the same, this is not very important here. An important element the handles protrude here. These are furniture handles. When I visit building stores, or in furniture workshops, it is difficult to tear me away from showcases with handles, I am especially attracted by transparent ones, in the form of crystals. It really looks luxurious. I have always regretted that I did not have such furniture, where such luxury could be screwed.
And here it is, a find for beautiful pens... Naturally, the lids on the cans were originally all sorts of colors, but they were painted with plain white spray paint... And the luxurious handles were glued with metal glue.
From bottles
Such an exquisite decor of the most simple bottles can be made using decal paper with transparent film. Of course, you first need to paint the bottle in the desired color, and then proceed to decorate the surface.
You need to find an interesting drawing that suits your interior in shape and color and transfer it to the surface of the bottle. The drawing is printed on decal paper for a laser or inkjet printer.
By the way, this paper is called differently. Decal paper, gypsum paper, decal and even translation paper are all one and the same.
Then, the drawing is trimmed with scissors and lowered into the water. After 10-12 seconds, the picture will detach from the substrate. You can watch the video, very interesting way accurately transfer the pattern to the surface of the cup.
Read the guidelines for printing on decal paper carefully. Find out for inkjet or laser printer paper, make sure the correct paper type is specified in the printer settings. Before applying to the surface, it must be degreased with alcohol. The processing fluid must be free of acetone. Dry the applied design with a hairdryer or oven. Attention! The temperature in the oven should not exceed 150 degrees.
After application, cover with acrylic matt or glossy varnish, depending on the decoration task.
With this paper, you can apply drawings that will last for many years, such bottles - vases can be washed, nothing will happen to them.
Anyone who has a creative streak is sorry to throw away empty "glass containers".
And this is the right regret, because even the simplest glass bottles, the interior looks magical.
Serving napkins
Great idea! I talked about such an exquisite home decoration in the last article about. And I liked the comment by Lyudmila Sanzharovskaya that such serving gives status to the owners of the house.
From newspaper and magazine tubes
I never thought that such, practically free stuff is so plastic. Was on a visit to the 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 cannot distinguish it from a 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 fruit.
This craft requires more skill and experience. But, as they say, the trouble is the beginning.
From the cord
Pleasant natural color cotton cord is a favorite material for DIY crafts. Planters and organizers look refined and noble, especially in combination with bright color floss brushes or natural materials such as leather.
Rugs and baskets can be made from scraps. But if the rugs can only be made from shreds cut into ribbons and tied together in one thread for knitting. That basket, it is better to do on a cord, around which shreds are wrapped. The basket should keep its shape. You can put balls, scraps and everything that a needlewoman needs in her handicraft corner in it.
From an old sweater
A craft box can be made stylish using just an old sweater no one is wearing anymore.
Book holders
I found such a cute on the Internet, I already have an article about holders, but it's hard to pass by such a cute girl. An ordinary stone, so skillfully painted and copes so well with its functional task... Although in the article about holders, the idea of a silver or gold polyhedron looks very expensive, but a painted stone looks very cute and home-like.
Beans and Brushes
This proposal looks more like a life hack, but it looks so stylish that I decided to place this photo in my home crafts. True, from "making" here is only the process of pouring beans into a transparent vessel of suitable size.
Crazy shred
Crazy patchwork or crazy patchwork is a wonderful technique for home crafts. This technique is good in that all kinds of trimming of fabrics 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 is given to the selection of fabrics. Even kits are being sold. But there are no restrictions in this technique, and it is easy to do.
Here, a guest of my site, Luda Strakovskaya, shows how to sew an oven mitt using this technique, everything is simple and clear.
In fact, potholders are very necessary and beautiful detail kitchen interior.
But for the living room, there are options for this technique. Decorative pillows for beauty, comfort and as a color-connecting element of the interior.
A scattering of puzzles
I don’t know about you, but me great amount puzzles that migrated from one box to another, got messed up, rearranged and now it's not possible to assemble anything worthwhile from them. And here she is so glorious and beautiful idea for the nursery.
Crafts from buttons
This is a classic of the genre. You can make anything out of buttons, and practically there is no person who does not like to look at buttons. And in the hardware stores there are always crowds of people near the scattering of buttons sold at discounts.
Recently I went into a store, there is such a table with high sides and inside a pile of various buttons that remained in the store one or several pieces, leftovers and illiquid assets. A special duck is stuck into the hill, you can collect buttons directly with a scoop.
Mom and daughter, daughter, 5-6 years old, are picking buttons in bags, their faces are happy, unhappy. I ask what you will do with them. Mom, hurriedly - Oh, but we don't know yet.
So I want to see what they have made up with their buttons.
Maybe such beauty, for example.
Cinder candles
Candles are always needed in the house. For creating romantic mood, for rest and relief from negative energy of the past hard working day, and, of course, for cases when there is an emergency blackout in the house.
Oh, this incident in our family is perhaps the most beloved. Especially when the children were young. Everyone pulls up to the kitchen, the kettle turns on, candles are lit and moments of happy family unity come. It would also be nice if everyone's phones were dead by this time.
After such gatherings, a decent amount of cinders remains, or rather, this amount depends on the time it takes for the emergency service to troubleshoot the network.
The cinders need to be melted and poured into cups left over from the 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 nursery made of wood
A kind of height gauge, or rather, an age gauge made of wooden square planks, will decorate and allow you to observe changes in the size of the handles of the hostess of the room.
Well, or just decorate a children's room on a budget, involving both kids and adults in the creative process.

2. Beautiful things for the home with your own hands: carpets
Perhaps the most pleasant thing about creating things for the house with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you acquire such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or any other motif of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And more than once.
The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it is not too demanding in care: it is not afraid of moisture and can be easily cleaned. In this case, the master chose vinyl fabric. It is heavy and durable enough to look like a true rug. What's more, the quality of vinyl is very impressive these days and is available in a wide variety of colors and interesting textures.
Everything necessary materials and tools:
- Thick paper;
- Vinyl upholstery fabric;
- Scissors;
- 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.
Procedure:
- Create a stencil out of paper. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the drawing itself on it. Don't worry about your artistic talent - a zebra skin doesn't have to look uniform or symmetrical. As a last resort, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed to cut.
- Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and trace the contours of the stripes with Krylon pens (spray paint or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue painting the areas inside the paths.
- Let the paint dry and you're done! To be sure that the pattern will stick, you can “seal” the carpet by spraying a clear coat of acrylic spray paint on it.
Krylon handles create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and adheres very securely. If you cannot buy them in your city, then use ordinary paint for fabrics or walls. As the next hero of our article.

The master had rubber mat for the bathroom, remnants of wall paint (to achieve a vintage effect, it was slightly diluted with water), a roller and an old IKEA wool carpet. We look at the photo of what he managed to cook from these ingredients.

7. Turn photos into wall decor
It's so much cooler than just hanging your 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 apply any of the following methods.
- Find or buy a backing. It can be played by a thick sheet of polystyrene or expanded polystyrene (as in this case), a board and other materials at hand.
- Print a photo after editing 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, not a whole picture. Otherwise, skip this item.
- Place the photo on a substrate and wrap the ends. The author of this product used a double-sided duct tape for pinning photos. You can attach with regular glue or others available funds... The surface of the photos can also be treated with glue or glitter paste.
- Print the image and prepare the canvas to transfer it to.
- Stretch the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of Medium Gel to it. These gels are widespread and can be purchased at any home furnishing store today.
- Blend the photo onto the blurred canvas and press down. Leave so for several hours, but occasionally sprinkle with water from a spray bottle.
- Carefully, using your fingertips, begin to erase the back surface of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.
The result is a handsome, frayed look that will only give it a vintage look. It remains only to apply the last layer of the medium gel to it as a protective coating.
