The spaces between them are covered with gravel or brick chips.
Improvement of the residential area
The grassy lawn in front of the residential building is equipped with flower beds. The shape of the flower bed can be varied, it depends only on the inspiration of the designer. Made from unused household items.
When choosing flowers for a flower bed, you must remember that some are leading, while others are flowers that complement the composition. As a rule, no more than 4 types of flowers are planted on a flower bed. Everything on the territory should harmoniously, naturally, complement each other. The flower beds, decorated around the perimeter, look neat.

Vases with flowers are installed at the entrance. They are made from various household utensils, gypsum, cement.
Swings installed for adults and children look comfortable close up. Hammocks suspended in the shade of trees, armchairs with pillows. Manufacturing on the shoulder of every man.
A well-equipped home pond or stream looks harmoniously. The equipment depends on the natural landscape, technical and financial capabilities. The natural reservoir is beautifully decorated with quarry, stone boulders. In the absence of such a natural gift, the pond can be equipped independently.
The outer walls are decorated, following the example of a natural reservoir. The presence of water is imitated by painted plastic or pebbles. In the pond and nearby, it is appropriate to place figurines of reptiles and water birds made of stones, plastic bottles, gypsum, clay.
In the zone, it is reasonable to equip a place for a barbecue, a cauldron. They are made from scrap materials: an old barrel, a metal box, a sewing machine, etc.
Lighting is also important. In the evening, the old-style lanterns look attractive.
Improvement of the play area
This playground is equipped for different ages of family members. In the presence of children of preschool or primary school age, the place is equipped in a fabulous or cartoon form.
Attention... Children are mobile, unrestrainedly brave, courageous. They do not know fear, do not care about the observance of safety. Therefore, the equipment must be made of durable materials, without sharp corners, protrusions. It is advisable to hide the fastening elements of the structural units inside the parts. Glass is not a desirable material for arranging playgrounds.
Children are happy to play on the swing, jump on the "Giant steps". You don't need a lot of material to make them. Planks 30 mm thick, strong ropes, chains, old car tires are enough. For the Giant Steps vertical center support, you can use a wooden log or a smooth metal pipe. Swings, trampolines, labyrinths, slides are popular among children.

Arrangement of outbuildings, gardening zone
In order not to lose the attractiveness of the site, it is necessary to pay attention to the arrangement of these places. However, they should not be overloaded with decorative elements. A few touches of decor will add attractiveness, help to link with the overall picture of the site.
The entrances of the premises, decorated with signs, made in the form of old guild craft workshops, hung on poles and chains, look nice. Decorated with installed vases of flowers. They are made from old barrels, barrels, tanks, troughs, etc.
In the garden, it is appropriate to install figures of animals: bunnies, hedgehogs, owls, turtles. Artificial mushroom families are planted in berry bushes.

Not unimportant for the arrangement of the dacha is the fence. The outer border of the territory, as a rule, is established from a durable material. For the base of the fence, you can use a construction rubbish. Install wooden lintels on the top.
Elements of the general design of the site, pictures, inscriptions are placed on wooden products. There are decorative elements and figures on the columns. Internal fences have more decorative, separating functions. It is appropriate to make such fences from a wicker vine, equip with automobile tires or designate with a low picket fence.
When decorating a summer cottage, the main thing to remember is that this is a recreation area. She should be comfortable, delight, and inspire the family. The arrangement should be comfortable and harmonious. Provide satisfaction and joy. The decor should be in moderation. Over-saturation is just as harmful as deficiency.
Today, it is completely unnecessary to hire a professional and spend huge sums to create a truly amazing landscape design on a personal plot. After all, every owner of a country house or summer cottage can easily decorate the territory.
And this can be done with the help of handicrafts for the garden and garden, made by hand, without the use of expensive materials. They look not only beautiful, but also original.
At the same time, no special skills are required to create them. It is enough just to have a desire and a little free time.
Unfortunately, many people are still convinced that creating beautiful things with their own hands is not only difficult, but also quite expensive. However, the designers are convinced of the opposite. After all, the materials that are used to create crafts are almost never expensive.
The only exceptions are those cases when the owner of the site himself wants to use expensive materials. You can make sure that this is really so after viewing the catalog, which contains all the new items of crafts for the garden and personal plot.
Flowerbed made of stone
If decorative vegetation grows on your garden plot, you can safely use such a flower bed. Any flower garden will be able to attract attention if it is properly ennobled.
You don't have to use stones of the same size to create such a structure.
On the contrary, some carelessness will look more impressive. Therefore, you can feel free to use different sized cobblestones.
Experts say that you can use stones of different shapes and colors to build a flower bed. However, it is highly recommended to use materials of the same color to create a truly sophisticated piece.
Pay attention to the photo of crafts for the garden, which shows this composition. If you look closely at the photo, you will notice that the flower bed is multi-layered. In other words, to create it, you will need to lay out not one layer, but several.
It is worth noting that you can not just lay out the flower bed in the form of a rectangle, square or circle. Having shown imagination, you can turn your flower garden into a kind of bowl, basket or flowerpot with such a wide neck, which would fit several bushes with flowers.
In this case, it all depends on your imagination and the availability of free time.
Wooden crafts
But a personal plot can be decorated not only with stones. Particularly popular are wood crafts for the garden, in which there is an abundance of flower beds. This option is also ideal for those people who have a damaged flower garden in the garden.
If there is no way to transfer it, then you can update it with the help of crafts. The simplest example is conventional wooden fences, which are made up of small planks or branches. You can design them quickly and easily.
If you have enough free time and materials in stock, you can build not just a decorative fence, but a wicker basket or even a hut.
Any flower garden in a similar design will look luxurious. However, it is worth considering that when using such weaves, you should pay due attention to their fastening. Indeed, otherwise, you run the risk of building an extremely flimsy structure that will not last long.
Cute hedgehogs
You can use handicrafts from scrap materials that look not only original, but also funny as decoration elements for the garden. A very popular craft is the hedgehog.
Note!
To make it, you will need a regular empty bottle and a hemp rope for wrapping. To ensure that the ropes are securely held in place, staples or glue should be used as a binding element.
In order for the hedgehog to look as natural as possible, you should take care of such trifles as the nose and eyes.
Some masters are of the opinion that it is enough to paint these elements with black paint. However, if you want your craft to look as natural as possible, you can sew separately the eyes and nose.
You can attach them to the product using glue. Thus, the mount itself will be invisible, but at the same time very reliable.
Ordinary grass will serve as thorns for the hedgehog. Therefore, if you have several small accumulations of grass on your site, which you don’t have to pick up, you can quite successfully disguise it with the help of this craft.
Note!
Plastic peacock - as the main decoration of the garden!
But hedgehogs are not the only ones that can decorate your garden. This creative bottle garden craft in the shape of a peacock will become a real star and the center of the whole composition.
To create it, you will need to stock up on some set of materials:
- Multi-colored plastic bottles.
- Multi-colored duct tape.
- Wide tape.
- Synthetic foam.
- With a glue gun.
- Abrasive mesh.
- Plastic pipes.
Once you purchase the entire set, you can start creating crafts. Peacock feathers must be cut from plastic bottles. They should all be of a different size. Each feather should be cut along the edges to create a light fringe.
The body of the bird is cut out of foam. The joints that are formed in this case are sealed with a wide adhesive tape. We attach two plastic tubes that will serve as paws for the bird to the body.
The beak is cut out of the bottle and, after being rolled into a cone, is attached to the head. Next, using a glue gun, attach the feathers to the resulting figure.
Note!
Remember to keep the feathers shorter on the chest than on the back and tail. You can decorate the tail with small oval pieces cut from colored duct tape. The tuft is made from a bottle and attached to the head.
Pay attention to the instructions on how to make a beautiful craft in the form of a peacock in the garden, which is presented below. It describes in detail and with illustrations the entire scope of work.

Crafts-decorations from old tires
Storage of old tires requires a lot of space, and it is impossible to dispose of them without harm to health. Wouldn't it be better to use old tires to decorate the site? And there is no need for storage space, and the dacha becomes more elegant and comfortable.
Many tire crafts require only a knife and paint, or even paint. No skill or experience required. Below you will see successful examples of such handmade decorations for a summer residence.
Charming flower beds can be created by painting tires bright colors and spreading them in one or more layers on a selected area. Despite the simplicity, such flower beds look very attractive and neat.
A magnificent flowerpot will be made from a tire using a knife. Draw teeth or a wave on the tire, as shown in the photo, cut the tire along the marked line with a knife and turn it inside out. Now it remains to paint the resulting rubber flowerpot in your favorite color.
The dug tires will become a wonderful and practical fencing for individual summer cottage areas: recreation areas, playgrounds, sandboxes. Tires are often sheathed in a country well, a ladder or a drainage trench.
Tire swans adorn many summer cottages and playgrounds. Although looking at them gives the impression that making them with your own hands is rather difficult, this is not entirely true. Use a good cutting tool to make the cuts as shown. Then the wings are turned inside out and the swan is painted white or black, and the beak red. The neck needs to be reinforced with wire.
A pond in the country is not a luxury, but a way of using an old tire. To get such a water reservoir as in the photo, follow the instructions in the pictures.
You can easily get garden furniture from tires. You just need to fasten them in the right places.
Hares, bears, and other figurines can be crafted with tires and a few additional materials. It is not at all difficult to do it yourself.
Country crafts made of wood
Wood crafts provide ample opportunities to apply your creative talents. Beautiful wooden decorations can be obtained even without experience in working with this material.
You can make excellent crafts with your own hands from plywood. To do this, you just need to draw on it your favorite fairy-tale hero or another cute figure, then cut it out with a jigsaw. Then all this should be painted with bright colors, covered with a layer of varnish and, fixing the pegs through the drilled holes, inserted into the ground. The larger the figure, the correspondingly larger the pegs should be.
Crafts for a summer cottage from bottles
Even a novice garden craftsman can cope with the creation of such cute mushrooms. The bottom of the plastic bottle will go to the cap. Cut out a circle from the rest of the bottle and glue it to the back of our cap. A long piece of a bottle, twist it and get a leg, which will need to be inserted into the hole made in the bottom of the cap. All this, of course, needs to be beautifully decorated.
These beautiful butterflies for home and for summer cottages can be made from an ordinary plastic bottle. It is enough just to cut out the beautiful shape of the future insect under the pattern, and then decorate everything beautifully, adding sparkles and rhinestones. It is best to use nail polish.
By painting the bottles with paints, you can get a magnificent family of penguins (see photo). But here there is one nuance - a person inclined to art should be engaged in coloring. Ludicrously decorated bottles will not be a worthy decoration for a summer cottage.
These cute multi-colored ladybugs can creep around your garden if you make them yourself. From the photo, you probably already guessed that it is not at all difficult to create such a decoration.
The same used plastic bottles can make wonderful birdhouses. The birds will be happy to treat themselves to your garden not only with the dish you have proposed, but also with pests that eat fruit trees.
To decorate the territory of the dacha, you can buy various decorative items - these are figurines, artificial plantings, etc. But if you have imagination, free time and a lot of old, unnecessary things, then you can make decor items yourself from them.

The advantages of country crafts
- Children and adults can make crafts, it is very entertaining and fun.
- Children develop fantasies and fine motor skills.
- Saving money, because you can use old and unnecessary things for summer cottage crafts. For example, you can apply: wood; bottles; disposable cups; traffic jams; stones; tires, etc.
The main thing is to come up with an idea, and it is not difficult to find materials for its implementation.
Country crafts from plastic bottles
There are plastic bottles in every home, in which we regularly buy water and other drinks. Here are several options for handicrafts for giving with your own hands from bottles.
Deer from bottles
To make a deer, we need a 5 liter plastic bottle. We remove the neck of the bottle with a knife and attach a 1.5 liter bottle upside down to the cut. And already on the neck of this container we attach a liter bottle.
Thus, you should have a head on an elongated neck. You can fasten the bottles with liquid nails, wire or bolts.
The nose, tail and ears for the animal are cut out of any plastic bottle and glued to the appropriate places. Horns can be made from wood twigs or wire.
The matter remains small, you just need to paint the resulting deer brown or orange. It is better to paint with high-quality paint so that it does not fade in the sun and does not wash off with rain.
Bottle cat
This is a new idea for a summer cottage and is made in a different style, for it you need about 100 plastic bottles of 1.5 liters and 2 liters.
For a plastic cat, not whole bottles will be needed, but their cut bottoms. To create a shape, we make two balls (torso and head) from wire and connect them together. Next, we attach the cut bottoms to the made shape using a wire.
Elements such as eyes, nose and ears can be made from old linoleum or a similar material in structure. It remains to paint the resulting cat and put it in the yard.
Horse
A 5 liter plastic bottle is used for the horse's body, or a flower pot can be used instead. Wooden sticks are attached on four sides, these will be the legs of the animal. A stick is also used for the neck and tail.
The horse's head can be made from a metal can, and the hooves can be made from plastic lids. For the mane and tail, we use an old wig, if not, then you can thinly cut a piece of fabric or attach hay. After all that has been done, it remains only to paint the horse in your favorite color.
Unusual crafts
To decorate or diversify a flower bed, there are a bunch of options, you just need to turn on your imagination. Alternatively, you can use an old TV for this. All the insides are removed from it and only the body is left. Earth is poured inside it, and flowers are planted. Such a flower bed looks unusual and beautiful.
To create an unusual craft for the garden, instead of a TV case, you can use other items, for example, tires from wheels, a suitcase, shoes or clothes. There are a lot of options!
What materials can you make country crafts?
Styrofoam. It is a sturdy material from which you can make any shape, as it can be cut well with a simple knife. Cut out the shape of any animal from the foam, paint it in the desired color, decorate with leaves, needles, buttons, or anything, and you will have an excellent decorative item for the garden. You can also cut out small elements from the foam, which are useful for crafts from plastic bottles.
Living materials are berries, fruits, spikelets of grain crops, mosses, cones, tree fruits, etc. You can make a picture or small crafts from natural materials.
Artificial flowers. They can be used for decoration or as elements of large crafts.
Polyurethane foam. Many people know that it is used in construction, but if you dream up, then it can be used in creativity. For example, you can make a snail from polyurethane foam.
The body and head will be made of wooden blocks, you can connect them with nails. Apply polyurethane foam on top of the body and select the snail shell upwards. We paint all the elements with spray paint.
Old tires can make very unusual garden crafts. For example, benches, tables, swings, flower beds, sandboxes, etc.
You can make a favorite animal or other decoration for your summer cottage from any material. When the appearance of the object is ready, you just need to paint it and add small elements.
The main thing is that such decorative items do not need large costs, everything you need can be found at home. Children will only make crafts for joy.
