Best regards, Natalia Krasnova.

In almost every house there are many old ones and which are often a shame to throw away - whether they are worn out but once favorite jeans or a blanket, a lamp shade or a table inherited from a grandmother. With a little imagination and patience, you can make these items with your own hands, which will favorably decorate the interior of your home. In addition, the completed craft can become an original and exclusive gift for your friends and family.

Pants turn into ... elegant shorts!

Hand-made things will create a unique image and emphasize style. Frayed jeans can be easily converted into summer shorts. For this you will need:

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

Measure the length of your jeans and mark the border along which you will cut off excess material. Try to cut the fabric neatly along the dotted line. Do not discard the trousers themselves. They will come in handy for the next craft. Now decorate the bottom by carefully marking it. The pockets can be decorated with rhinestones. Thus, I learned a new and exclusive thing.

The remaining legs can be crafted into one of the following:

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

These hand-made things will be very useful in everyday life. To create a hot stand, we need:

• 20 identical denim strips (15-20 cm each) cut from the 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 at the edges to make them smoother. In order for the craft to look neat, braid or lace is sewn around the perimeter. The unusual stand is ready!

Taking care of the printed word

If you are an avid reader and are used to keeping your books in order, design a denim cover for them. Despite the fact that this craft requires a minimum of effort, you will get an amazing result!

Materials:

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

Measure out the amount of material needed for the cover. To do this, spread the open book over your jeans and mark the dotted line for the cut, leaving 5 cm as an allowance. Wrap the book in the 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. Those who have accumulated a lot of buttons can be advised to make simple ones, but very much for the home, such as:

New interesting DIY crafts can also be made from discs that have become unusable. It can be both Christmas tree toys, which even a child can easily make, and items for the house: chandeliers, curtains, boxes and much more. The lamp made of CDs looks very stylish and unusual. In order to fasten them together, you need to stock up on staples or metal rings. The holes in the discs must be made with a screwdriver.

These do-it-yourself items from old things look very beautiful and unusual.

In a shop for craftswomen

You can do interesting things with your own hands using special material that is sold in any craft store. It 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 make unusual crafts. A master class of this kind is presented below.

Gathering by shred

Patchwork has become an interesting and very popular type of needlework in recent years (translated from English it means “work with a patchwork”). Skillful needlewomen create real masterpieces of art from scraps of fabric: blankets, rugs, carpets and even curtains. In order for the work to be of really 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 out pieces of fabric taking into account allowances - from 0.5 to 1 cm. Cutting of the material is carried out along the shared thread. Wash and iron the fabric beforehand to prevent shrinkage. The material can be drawn only with soap, pencil or chalk, but not with a pen - there is a risk of marks on the front of the product.

Blanket "Spring mood"

For manufacturing it is necessary to prepare:

• fabric in green, pink, yellow, orange and blue;
• soap, chalk or pencil, ruler;
• template - a 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 seamy part of the product);
• synthetic winterizer.

Prepare the fabric: wash, dry and iron. Lay out the prepared cardboard templates on the material. Cut out 12 pink, blue, green and yellow squares, keeping in mind the 1 cm allowance. In addition, you will need 60 squares of the same size but different colors. You will use them to sew the blanket around the perimeter. Prepare 24 strips 24 cm long and 6 cm wide from different fabric and 24 strips of 12 cm of the same width.

We start sewing: take 4 squares of 6 cm in different colors and sew them together. Then wash 4 strips of the same color around the perimeter of the resulting product: 2 short - on the sides, 2 long - above and below. Collect all the other squares in the same way. Sew the resulting products together. You should get 4 large squares in length and 3 in width.

The next step is to sew squares (set aside 60 pieces) around the perimeter of the blanket. The order of their arrangement in color depends entirely on your imagination. Now you need to sew a fabric 83 x 111 cm to the blanket (3 cm for an allowance). It is necessary to connect 2 sides together with the front side inward. After you sew 3 sides, turn the product inside out and fill with padding polyester. Then carefully join the 4th edge (by typewriter or by hand). A soft and beautiful blanket is ready!

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

Crafts ... from food

You can even make things for the house with your own hands 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 to a pre-prepared template with PVA glue. The groats can be painted - and the picture will sparkle with all the colors. Introduce your child to 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, which will delight you and those around you with its original look.

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

2. We should also bend the protruding part of the fabric on the top of the can inward and glue it. It turned out something like a neat side.
3. From the cardboard, having measured the diameter of the metal container, we cut out two circles of the corresponding size and an additional third slightly smaller size.

In this case, you can even take your photo or close friends, your favorite landscape, etc. Based on the composition of the picture, it is divided into several parts, cut.

Nature is one of the most popular motives Sunset sun on the sea - what could be more romantic Beach, sun, summer ...
And again flowers ... Symmetrical splitting is also possible Fantasy - an option for teenagers

Frames can be made from wooden planks, covered with thin plywood or fiberboard. But the easiest way is to take foam with sufficient density (300-350 g / m³) with a thickness of 4-5 mm or more. It costs a little, you can cut it with any hacksaw, it will not damage the paper, it weighs a mere trifle, so you can even fix the modules on double-sided tape.

This is if you have everything at hand. And, in addition to decoration objects, only lace, PVA glue, scissors and a brush are needed.

Everything is exactly as you thought. We just wrap the vessel with lace, cut it to size, glue it, wait until it dries. It's all. But the result will please you.

Who said that lace should be white ...

Lace can be bought or knitted. The second option allows you to decorate vases of complex shapes, which can be done with great difficulty with ordinary lace. If you don't know how to knit, but want to decorate a vase unusual shape, look for stretch. There is such a thing, and in a fairly wide range. With the help of a stretching lace, most of the problems are removed.

Zen garden

If you are looking for original ideas for your home, consider a miniature Zen garden. It is easy to do, it looks great, and it can also help you relax and calm down after a hard day at work. Only this accessory is not for families with small children…. You will understand why.

The Zen garden in the original is a rather complex system, but stylizations can be made from a transparent round container or even from a glass candy bowl, vase, or a small aquarium. You will also need sand for landscaping, terrariums or aquariums, and a fat plant or cactus.

First, let's figure out how to deal with the plant. you can put it in a small pot and bury it in the sand. Instead of a pot, you can use a sock with soil (tie a sock). Some plants (cacti) can be planted directly in the sand. In general, you choose any method, but with direct landing in the sand, you need to take care of normal drainage - put pebbles on the bottom.

Sand is poured into the container, a pot with a plant or its roots is installed, all this is covered with sand to a certain level. All is ready. Now the surface of the sand is leveled and drawings are applied to it. There is a special metal stick for drawing, but a wooden one is also suitable for a start.

If you want to get closer to the original, you can make a desktop version of a Japanese garden from a small box. The frame of the box is assembled from wood blocks or bamboo trunks, the bottom is usually made from plywood or well-fitted and processed wood planks. You can also make legs.

The resulting container is also filled with fine sand, but what else to add there is up to you. You can plant several plants, lay stones, pebbles, put candles, a statue of Buddha. In general, here everyone already creates their own Zen))

Mini garden in the house

There are two types of miniature gardens that can be made to decorate the interior of a house or apartment: open and semi-closed. An open mini-garden is made in large flat pots, pallets. You can use miniature bonsai plants, succulents and small cacti.

When choosing plants, pay attention not only to the size, but also to the soil in which the plants grow. With a sufficiently large mini-garden area, it can be divided into zones with different soil acidity, but this will require physical separation, as well as delimitation using physical plastic partitions so that the soils do not mix.

In such an interior decoration, a real garden is recreated. With paths, benches, rockeries, etc. You can put a toy house, make a pond. Everything that your imagination will tell you.

Semi-closed mini-gardens are made in glass containers. Round ones look very interesting: aquariums, vases. Soil or stones are poured into them, plants are planted. But in such a limited volume, it is necessary to select plants not only by the type of soil, but also by the degree of illumination, irrigation regime, etc. You will not be able to care for plants in a jar in different ways.

The smallest gardens ... And then - a garden of moss ... a piece of a fairy tale

Different types of moss can be grown in such containers. In fact, they are very beautiful and only in such miniature gardens you can see them to the smallest detail. Some of them resemble trees or shrubs, others are more like herbaceous plants. A wide variety of compositions are created from pebbles and moss, reproducing real landscapes or taking us to a fairyland.

DIY cushions

If you look at the photos of interiors, you will notice that in most of them pillows give a zest to the interior. With their help, a boring interior turns into a lively and memorable one. In addition, the large number of pillows allows you to relax comfortably. Ideas like this for a house allow you to quickly change the "mood of the interior", adding home comfort.

In the case of using fabrics, everything is clear - we select the color and texture for the interior. But there are homemade pillows, from which and breathes coziness. A striking example of this is knitted pillows. A variety of patterns, colors, shapes. But the result is the same - they really want to hug, squeeze. They are overwhelmed very outside the box.

From old flannel pajamas and sweaters And these old jeans turn into an original pillowcase ... all you need is fabric with an adhesive base Knitted miracle - very cozy Lace for finishing pillows - you need to choose the style Fleece fabrics - simple and effective

What if you don't know how to knit? It doesn't matter. There are old sweaters. Yours or yours. They make very interesting and neat pillows. Cut the old knitwear to the sleeves, tuck a pillow into a semi-finished pillowcase, sew on both sides. That's it, the designer pillow is ready.

You can also use lace, fleecy fabrics, old jeans, even pajamas. Everything is in motion. And the weirder the colors are, the more interesting the result is.

Ideas for home: different little things with your own hands

The atmosphere and comfort in the house is created not only by global things. A lot of small things that can be made from scrap materials bring no less but, sometimes, more pleasure and benefit. You use them often. And you don't even look at the same pictures or mirrors a month later. A number of ideas for turning your home into a cozy and comfortable place have been collected in this section.

Opportunities - the sea

Tray for shoes with pebbles

Owners of private houses have to go outside regardless of the weather. Therefore, shoes do not always shine with cleanliness. Many people get out of the situation by putting a rubber mat near the door or by placing a rubber pallet. Yes, the dirt doesn't spread, but the view is not the most attractive. You can significantly improve the situation simply by pouring pebbles into the pallet. Water will flow over the stones, the drips are not visible on them, the dirt too. From time to time it will be necessary to soak the pebbles in water and rinse them to remove the accumulated dirt, but pebbles are reusable material and they simply cannot "rub off".

If there is no rubber pallet, you can knock down a wooden box with a side height of about 10 cm. Pebbles can be found on the banks of a river, sea, etc. As a last resort, you can find it in designer stores or where aquarium supplies are sold. But buying this "beauty" turns out to be expensive.

Storing scarves

There are usually a lot of scarves, scarves and other similar products in every family. How to store them so that they do not take up a lot of meta, are always at hand, and at the same time do not wrinkle? There are several life hacks that you can easily do with your own hands.

The first. We attach metal rings to an ordinary hanger. Rings can be plastic or metal. Both those and others can be found in the departments selling. There are not so many, in shape, size and material. Rings can be nailed to wooden hangers / hangers / trembles, attached with staples from a stapler, to plastic ones - glued or tied with threads. And that's it, you have a scarf storage device.

The situation with the second device is a little more complicated. You will need a processed board and a dozen or so clothespins. We attach the clothespins to the bar with one side. They can be nailed, fastened with self-tapping screws, and glued. You will also need hinges to fix the structure itself on the wall.

Both home ideas are practical, require a minimum of funds and a little time. And evaluate the benefits yourself. Especially in the spring-autumn period, when there are a lot of scarves, shawls, pots on the shelf.

Instead of a bookshelf

- a good thing, but not everywhere they are appropriate, and good copies cost a lot of money. But the books must be stored somewhere. The exit is metal brackets. When installed, the lower book serves as a support for milking 4-5 pieces, which are simply stacked on it.

Book holder - all ingenious is simple

The disadvantage is obvious - the lower book is not available. The way out is to put the most unpopular or unnecessary down.

Holders for keys and other small items

One of the biggest problems is where to hang the keys so that they can be quickly found, and also instantly hang or take off. One of the good options is a magnetic board, but where to find it is a question. But you can make funny holders of balls for tennis. They are cut to about a third of the diameter. That's all. The holder is ready. It only needs to be fixed somewhere. You can - on the wall with nails, you can attach several pieces on a separate board, and then attach the board itself to the wall, cabinet, etc.

Instead of a housekeeper - pretty faces

You can make such a holder for small items in a matter of seconds. Look for tennis balls longer. And to make it even more interesting, eyes are glued to the ball. It turns out to be such a funny smiley.

Basket from a plastic tank and clothespins

The household is full of plastic food containers, but home ideas with them are rare. We found one such option, in which the hero is a liter container of mayonnaise. In principle, any large diameter, low height can will do. Otherwise, the "basket" will be inconvenient to use.

Waste to income - a basket from a plastic can

Using universal glue, glue the container with clothespins. When the glue is dry, cover the surface with varnish or wood oil. We close the inner part with a cover sewn from cotton or linen. We make it a little longer than necessary so that you can hide the unsightly edge behind the lapel.

The handle is made of steel wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm. We bend an arc out of it. At one end we make a loop, in the sidewall with the help of a nail heated on fire, we make two diagonally located holes (one opposite the other). We pass the formed loop on the handle through one hole. Bend the wire on the second side, thread it through the second hole, and then form a loop. We decorate the handle with hemp rope. You can also make decorations for the basket from it. If you know how to weave macrame - great, no - it will go and regular pigtail, woven from several threads.

Stand for a sofa or armchair for cups / glasses / newspapers

Drinking seagulls in your favorite chair is a great idea. But there is nowhere to put a cup, the phone always falls between the seat and the "bylitsy". The armrests of modern models are soft, you can't put anything on them. So clever people came up with a stand for cups / glasses (pictured). An extremely simple and very handy thing. Few home ideas will bring you more enjoyable moments.

You will need three boards with a width of at least 25 cm. They are knocked down in the form of the letter "P" (the connection can be strengthened with carpentry corners). The height of the lintel is a little more than the height of the armrest, the table should protrude no more than 1/3 of the width of the seat, otherwise you simply will not sit in the chair. The structure is placed sideways, the lower part is pushed under the chair. It serves as an emphasis and does not allow the structure to roll over. To be sure, make the lower part much longer than the "table". Also, for mobility, you can install casters, but do not forget that the legs of modern furniture are low and the casters need small ones, and you will have to fix them from the side. Otherwise, the stand will simply not fit under the chair.

Where to hide dog bowls

Dog owners know how challenging it is to find space for dog bowls. Dogs living in an apartment or house are usually fed in the kitchen. There they put bowls. But they are needed for half an hour a day, and then they get tangled on the floor all day. You can solve the problem, and elegantly. Place the bowls in one of the drawers. Needed - they opened the box, poured food. The feeding is over - the bowls have been washed, put back, the drawer has been closed. Everything is perfect and does not bother anyone.

This idea will require a small crate redesign. A small section bar or corner is stuffed around the perimeter. A rectangle of the required size is cut out of plywood or other sheet material. Cut holes in it under the bowls, then paint (if necessary). That's all, the idea has been implemented. It remains to train pets.

Idea for storing slippers

In any house or apartment with two or more inhabitants, slippers are lost all the time, get confused and disappear somewhere. One interesting solution to the problem is these pipes / sneaker holders. Each pair has its own pipe. Order is guaranteed.

The pipes can be stainless steel or cut from large diameter plastic pipes. It will only be necessary to process the cut well - so that it is convenient and beautiful.

Going through the little things that have accumulated at home, you often ask yourself: what can you do with your own hands at home with all this so that the products are of high quality, beautiful and functional?

From my own experience, sometimes all that separates us from great homemade products is our own insecurity and lack.

On the Internet, you can find many master classes on making things from a variety of improvised means: plastic dishes, purchased blanks, pallets, old tires, etc.

But you must admit: rarely does anyone have old tires from Kamaz, from which you can make a pouf, but there will be difficulties with pallets if you do not have your own cafe or store.

We propose to go the other way and solve two problems at once in one fell swoop: do without expensive purchases and concentrate on eco-handmade from natural materials that can be easily found at home.

Postcards, decorations and crafts

The simplest of those things that you can do with your own hands at home are small products made of paper, fabric and simple author's decor details.

Creating these little things works well as it develops fine motor skills of the hands and stimulates the unrestrained creativity of babies.

But it cannot be said that the activity is purely childish: many adults, carried away by hand-made, make amazing things out of simple materials and even on them, selling on the Internet.

Postcards

Let's start with the simplest. Colorful homemade postcards, with some diligence, are not inferior in beauty and quality to purchased ones.

Advice: if you were suddenly invited to, and you think that you can do it yourself at home and present it to the birthday boy, start with a postcard. It's simple - even a novice handmaker can handle it, and the memory and pleasant emotions from such a gift will remain for a long time.

There are many options for postcards: simple (flat), opening, with three-dimensional figures inside; made of paper or fabric; decorated with appliques, drawings, inscriptions, etc.

The simplest and at the same time an original gift can be a self-made postcard

As for the materials, you can find everything you need to create postcards at home.

The mandatory minimum is a pencil, pen, scissors, PVA glue and, of course, paper (preferably thicker - Whatman paper or thin cardboard).

Here's what else you can use to create postcards:

1. Colored paper. These do not have to be new sheets - scraps left over from the child's crafts will do.
2. Foil from chocolate and sweets.
3. Unnecessary details from old jewelry: cabochons, rhinestones, etc.
4. Trimming fabrics. Almost any will work, but it is best to take samples without fluffy lint.
5. Threads.
6. Colored pencils, pens, markers. For the design of the inscriptions, you can take black or colored liners - they practically do not smear and draw with clear lines of a given thickness.
7. Watercolor paints. If you have children school agethen simplest set there are watercolors at home - they are quite enough for crafting postcards.

For the preparation of a souvenir, the remains of bright, fabric, beads, ribbons are useful

In addition, you may need a utility knife and superglue ("Moment", "Second").

The list of materials can be continued for a very long time, because literally anything can be used to create postcards.

At one time, I got myself a special box in which I put any little things that seemed suitable to me - even if at that time I did not have specific ideas for their use.

Experience has shown that in the end absolutely everything is used.

The main thing is to have patience, free time and a desire to please a loved one.

Tip: to make your cards look stylish and harmonious, remember the most popular formats for their production: rectangle 105x148 mm (A6 format), elongated rectangle 98x210 mm, squares 140x140 and 120x120 mm.

Let's look at how to make a regular A6 postcard with your own hands.

1. The first step is to prepare the foundation. Let's take the option that you will definitely find in your home: a regular A4 sheet. Fold it in half along the wide side, making sure that the edges converge very precisely. Glue the sheet so that the halves fit snugly against each other. Let it dry, then fold over the wide side again. The base for the postcard is ready.
2. Now come up with a design. Consider the materials available, think about which ones you want to use, which ones work best with each other. You can draw a sketch on a separate piece of paper. Visualize the postcard you want to make in your head as much as possible - and, having selected the necessary materials, get to work.
3. Process the decor elements. If you decide to place a curly paper or fabric applique on the postcard, cut out the required shape in advance. Prepare everything you will be attaching to the front of the postcard: colored paper, bows, rhinestones, fabric, etc.
4. If you don't want to leave the background of the card white, now you need to color it. Take watercolors or markers and apply a light coat of a suitable color. You can add an antiquated effect to paper by coloring it with tea or coffee. And if you throw a few grains of salt on wet watercolor, you get beautiful snowflake patterns. Remember to let the paper dry after painting.
5. Decorate the front of the product with the prepared decor.
6. Sign the centerfold postcard with a beautiful poem or just a short greeting phrase.

The original homemade postcard is ready!

Do not limit yourself in experiments and flight of imagination.

Try different styles and materials, sizes and options of paper. Look for your own signature handwriting and, most importantly, don't give up if the first results aren't to your liking.

As in any business, it all depends not only on talent, but also on perseverance and practice.

Decorations

Among the things you can do yourself at home, jewelry is one of the most popular options.

You can wear them yourself or give them to someone, or you can sell them, getting from your own not only pleasure, but also material reward.

Kids just love these original ice cream stick bracelets!

The easiest option, which you can attract young children to make, is bracelets made of ordinary wooden ice cream sticks.

It should be honestly noted: such bracelets, both in size and in style, are primarily for children.

Little needlewomen and craftsmen are happy to participate in the creative transformation of familiar objects into bright jewelry - especially if you later decorate the bracelet the way he likes.

These bracelets are made very simply. You will need:

1. Ice cream sticks (one per bracelet)
2. Beakers of a suitable diameter

First, place all the sticks in one container and fill with water so that it completely covers our blanks.

Since they are wooden and float easily, cover the container with a lid or something else.

Check the sticks after a while. Having soaked well, they will begin to bend without breaking.

Then they need to be placed in a glass, bent inside or outside close to the walls.

I prefer to wrap the sticks around the glass, pressing on top with strong elastic bands: like this ready product rather, it will take the desired shape.

Leave the blanks to dry in a warm, dry place.

After completely drying, the bases will remain curved, and you can start decorating the product.

A wooden bracelet for a girl can be decorated with rhinestones, turning a real princess into an accessory, and a bracelet for a boy can be decorated with the emblem of your favorite superhero.

Another useful cutie is a jewelry stand

Tip: it is better to use superglue to glue decorative elements to wood, and after painting it is worth covering the product with varnish.

Bracelets are a rich soil for creativity. It is easy to imagine what you can do with your own hands at home, having fishing line and beads at hand.

But I propose to pay attention to more non-standard products - Shambhala wicker bracelets, which are great for both adults and children from 12 years old.

Such a self-made product is both a talisman and a stylish accessory that combines patterned weaving with beads.

Popular Shambhala bracelets can be easily made with your own hands

To weave Shambhala you will need:

1. An odd number of beads made of wood or natural stone.
2. Two smaller beads - for the clasp.
3. The base cord is of such thickness that the selected beads can be easily strung on it. Take the length of the base cord based on the girth of your wrist plus ten centimeters on each side for the fasteners.
4. The main weave cord is three to four times longer than the base (it is better to take longer for the first tests). Thicker threads work well for braiding.
5. One lace about forty centimeters long for making a fastener.

Shambhala bracelets are convenient to weave from waxed threads, but it is not necessary to run for them to the store. Experiment!

I wove one of my coolest bracelets from ordinary twine and a strong "iris" thread at the base.

Tip: to make Shambhala smooth and smooth, fasten the weaving. To do this, you can use a tight stationery clip and a clipboard (or book cover).

We start to weave. About ten centimeters from the end of the base cord, tie a knot of braiding thread so that it divides the thread into two equal length ponytails.

Now you need to knit knots from these ponytails around the base cord, alternately threading one thread under it, and the other above.

After making the desired number of knots, string the first bead onto the base and continue braiding immediately behind it.

Alternate knotted beads using gaps of your choice); at the end, do not forget to knit the same number of knots simple weavingas in the beginning. Finish with a knot.

Making designer jewelry may well become an additional source of income for you.

If you used a natural thread, apply a drop of PVA glue to the final knot, let it dry, then cut off the excess cord.

If the thread was synthetic, carefully cut the ends and burn the ponytails with a lighter or a match - of course, being careful.

Let's move on to the lock. Take the ponytails left on either side of the bracelet, fold them together, and tie them in several knots using the third cord.

Fasten the lock in the same way as the bracelet. Put small beads on the remaining tails of the base cord and tie knots at the ends.

Your own beautiful Shambhala bracelet is ready.

Congratulations! This is an exciting activity, so do not be surprised if after a while you present these amulets to all your acquaintances and think about where to put new products.

Sell \u200b\u200b- let others appreciate your talent!

Crafts

What can you do yourself at home for children under 10 years old? Of course a safe bet there will be toys.

Usually, for sewing dolls, you need a lot of additional materials such as special fillers, and sewing skills are higher than the basic level.

But there is also an option that the children themselves will cope with (and will be happy to help you): these are reeled dolls.

Captivate your child with making a cute motanka doll

To make them, you will need different-colored pieces of fabric - any pieces of old unnecessary clothing will do.

For the base, the body of the doll, it is better to choose something light: an old white sheet or thin burlap, but for clothes you can take any color to your taste.

You will also need ordinary sewing threads, ribbons and other little things for decoration if you wish.

The doll is made like this:

1. Roll one piece of fabric into a three-dimensional rectangle or cube. This is the base of the reel head.
2. Put a square cut on it light fabric, gather on one side and wrap with sewing thread. There is no need to make knots: a large number of threads will fix themselves and will not unwind.
3. Take another square piece of light colored fabric. The length from corner to corner is the arm span of our doll, so choose accordingly. Roll this piece into a roll, wrap the sewing thread around your wrists.
4. Tie the "sausage" of the hands to the body of the pupa under the head. It is best to do this by winding the threads crosswise.
5. Choose a few different colored pieces of fabric for your doll's clothes. Make a skirt, preferably with two or more layers of fabric: it looks very cool. Secure the skirt with thread, string, or tape.
6. Another piece of fabric will be used to make a scarf. Fold a triangle from the cut and tie it around the doll's head.

Traditionally, reeled dolls are made without faces - these are impersonal amulets.

I know that faceless dolls scare some people, so if you don't put any additional meanings into it, you can safely embroider or draw a face on the fabric, giving your doll individuality.

Such a doll will at the same time become your personal amulet.

Today you learned how to create all kinds of beautiful and useful things, and I am sure that you can expand your arsenal of skills further.
