A tree for such a homemade product should be chosen that is simple to work with, that is pine or beech... Hard woods are highly undesirable, for example, oak, which is incredibly difficult to work with at home, not to mention the fact that doing full processing with your own hands is a time consuming task.

From the bars, you need to make four U-shaped blanks, one larger than the other. This is the base of the bench and sled steps. Then you need to strengthen the legs with an additional bar. For the step on it, fix the slide on both sides. Make a niche in the form of a small box under the stool seat, then screw on the side panels. Cover the finished homemade product with varnish.

Cooler bag

One of the panels will act as a base, the "foundation" of the house is mounted on it - 4 slats, a panel is fixed to each of the slats, then another level of slats should be added from above and the structure should be covered with a roof. Installation takes place on corners or screws. An entrance should be drilled or cut out in the front panel. Fix the cylinder near the entrance, and then wind the string with special glue.

Options useful crafts so many, most of the options are copyright and were invented literally out of necessity, that is, to solve a specific problem.

Homemade products for a home workshop

Almost in any home there is always some set of tools necessary for the household. But sometimes situations arise when, to work in your own workshop or garage, you need some kind of device that cannot be purchased in the store or it is very expensive. In this case, you can find a way out by making it yourself.

Balloon Forge

This metal heating device will become irreplaceable assistant in a home workshop. The forge can be safely used for making original items by using artistic forging... These will be truly unique forged items.

For the furnace, it is best to use an empty 25 liter gas cylinder. Its ends are cut off with a grinder, and the furnace door and its rear part will be made from the cut parts. The inside of the cylinder is covered with refractory ceramic wool, which is able to withstand temperatures over 1200 0 C. From above, it is coated with fireclay clay (lined), which can withstand temperatures up to 1500 0 C. After lining, fireclay slabs or refractory bricks are placed on the bottom of the hearth.

A hole is drilled from above and a small squeegee is inserted, allowing the nozzle of a gas burner to be inserted, which can create a temperature in the hearth of more than 1000 0 C - quite enough to heat the metal to a certain temperature suitable for forging.

Dismountable garage crane

In the manufacture of such a lift, the cash costs will be much less than buying a factory model. To make it, you will have to spend only on materials, half of which, perhaps, can be found in the garage.

Materials required to assemble the lift:

1. Two racks - shaped tube 100x100x2350.
2. Cross bar - steel pipe arbitrary length with a diameter of 100 mm.
3. Four supports for the bar - profile pipe 100x100x600.
4. Base and braces - corner with 100 mm shelves.
5. Two metal rope rollers.
6. Four wheels for movement.

For the hoist it is best to use hand winch with a worm gear with a maximum load of up to 500 kg, which is attached to one of the racks of the crane.

The design does not take up much space in the workshop, easily moves on hard surfaces and is quite convenient for removing the engine from the car.

Mobile tool rack

The main highlight of this rack is its small size., but at the same time it can be placed on it a large number of tools, and if necessary - quickly move it to any place or adjacent room. It is very convenient to use such a rack in your workshop or when conducting construction and repair work in large rooms, especially when you need to carry tools frequently.

The rack can be assembled on the basis of a collapsible plastic rack mounted on a homemade platform with wheels (cart). The platform is made precisely to the dimensions of the rack from a metal corner with 45x45 mm shelves or a sheet of plywood with a thickness of at least 10 mm. Furniture metal wheels are used for movement.

In addition to the rack, you can make and fix fasteners for building levels, extension cords and other tools that can be stored hanging.

To help the hostess

There is not always a financial opportunity to buy, for example, something from new furniture in furniture showroom or place an order for its production. But you can always get out of this situation by making the right thing do it yourself, while making it attractive and unique, using available tools for this.

Cork backsplash

A kitchen backsplash is a wall surface located between a worktop and wall cabinets. Usually this part of the wall is lined tiles... But to cover it, it is possible to use many other materials, for example, to glue wine corks on the wall.

Such exclusive decor looks pretty great.

Before gluing, each cork is cut lengthwise into two halves with a sharp clerical knife. It is advisable to paint the wall black, which will accentuate the seams between the corks.

The plugs are glued to the wall with liquid nails in a checkerboard pattern or with a certain pattern, since it will hardly be possible to lay them out perfectly, and the curved rows will visually look disgusting.

The corks themselves are not afraid of moisture, but they quickly get dirty and poorly washed, so it is best to cover them with a glass screen made of tempered glass. True, you will have to spend a little money on it and order glass in a special workshop, where they will cut it to a given size and make holes for sockets and fasteners.

The glass is fixed to the wall with anchor dowels, which can be purchased at almost any hardware store.

Although the apron decorated wine corks may be expensive, but achieved result will be worth it.

The surface of the countertop, as well as the wall, can be decorated with corks and covered with tempered glass.

Hinged folding table

Mounted on the wall folding table IR allows you to save some space in the apartment. In the unfolded state, it can protrude from the wall at a distance of no more than 10 cm and does not interfere with anyone at all, but when unfolded it can replace a full-fledged table.

There are many options where you can use a folding table fixed to the wall. Here are just a few of the most basic ones:

Shower for giving

Probably there is nothing better than freshening up under the running water on a hot summer day, especially if he went to work in the garden. Naturally, only a shower will solve this problem and remove the fatigue accumulated during the day.

The shower can be installed by yourself without involving outside help, the main thing is to choose a place for it and decide on the type of shower cabin.

Three types of cabins stand out among summer showers., which you can freely build on your own:

Installation of a simple shower is done in this way:

1. The frame of the shower stall is made, which can be assembled from metal, wooden beam or other materials at hand.
2. A metal or plastic water container is installed on the roof of the assembled frame, which can have a volume of 50 to 200 liters.
3. It is advisable to paint the metal container black for better water heating. Additionally, several electric heating elements can be installed in the container, then the shower can be taken even in cloudy weather.

The booth can be sheathed with boards, plywood, slate, or simply covered with tarpaulin or cellophane film with folding canopies.

For self-construction

The topic of construction or renovation probably worries everyone. And, of course, everyone who deals with it wants to finish it as soon as possible with minimal financial costs. Therefore, if you want to save money, you can make some materials for construction on their own... For example, it can be wall SIP panels or such useful tool, like a vibrating plate, the need for which often arises for many owners of a personal plot.

Homemade SIP panels

For their manufacture, you need to prepare a flat, hard platform. Having laid an OSB sheet with a thickness of 10-12 mm on it rubber spatula apply glue to it with teeth.

Then lay sheets of 25-30 grade foam plastic on the glue. After that, on top of the laid foam plastic, as well as on the bottom OSB plate, an adhesive mass is applied, and the second OSB sheet is laid on top.

If several panels are being made at the same time, stacked in a pile, work should be done quickly, until the glue hardens. Usually, in this way, no more than 4-5 panels can be prepared at a time.

After the blank for the formed slabs, you need to create pressure using a press. Since, naturally, there is no hydraulic press at home, it can be replaced with a thick plywood sheet laid on the prepared SIP-plates over the entire plane and loaded for 2-3 hours, for example, with several bags of cement, sand or other cargo. You can even use by car, having driven onto a plywood sheet along a pre-made overpass.

After the glue has completely dried, the homemade panels will be ready, they can be folded into a separate pile and start preparing new panels. The manufactured panels should lie already without load for another day, after which they can be used for their intended purpose.

Vibratory plate manufacturing

To make a homemade vibrating plate, you will need to prepare:

1. An electric motor with an eccentric of the IV-98E brand, which is the main part of the vibrating plate.
2. Steel sheet, not less than 8 mm thick, size 450x800 mm. It can be ordered at any metal warehouse.
3. Two pieces of a channel with a length of no more than 400 mm.
4. Inch pipe for the handle and two rubber bushings for its attachment.
5. From the tools you will need a welding machine, a grinder and a set of wrenches.

On the narrow sides of the slab, stepping back 80-100 mm from the edges, make an incision with a grinder to a depth of about 5 mm. After that, bend the edges towards the notch at an angle of approximately 25 0 and weld them. Bends are needed so that the vibrating plate does not sink into the material it compresses and moves freely along its surface.

Then, across the plate at a certain distance, calculated for the fastening of the electric motor, two channels are welded with the shelves down. Through advance drilled holes in the channel, with the help of M10 bolts, an electric vibrator is attached to them.

The tube-made handle attaches to the vibrator through soft rubber grommets available from your auto store or hardware store in the hardware department.

Thus, you can make a lot of useful things in the household with your own hands, spending only part of the money that would have to be paid when buying finished product... You just need to make some effort and have certain skills.

But also to engage in the implementation of different unique ideas... Homemade products for a summer residence will give a second life to things that have become unnecessary in the city, make the site cozier and more attractive, and also help save the family budget.

Take your time to throw away old things

A dacha is a place where outdated, but still strong things are brought. Often there are sofas, chairs, unfashionable wardrobes, clothes, dishes and many other household items. We just throw a lot of things into garbage bins... Plastic, the remains of decorative and finishing materials after renovation in the apartment. But from these unnecessary things, you can make various practical homemade products for a summer residence and a garden.

Let's try not to throw it away, but take everything to the country house, so that later we can do unusual creativity. From plastic bottles, you can make a beautiful resting place for kids, an unusual figurine in the garden, or make a gutter to drain rainwater into a tank. Craftsmen from plastic bottle caps make fences of extraordinary beauty that can stand for more than a decade, remaining durable and attractive.

Of the old car tires easy to make a couple, a small pond or a comfortable ottoman. If you rip up a few pairs of old jeans and sew a rectangular canvas out of them and add a few more elements, you get a sturdy hammock for relaxing in the garden. There are many ideas, but the most important thing is the opportunity to save money on purchasing the necessary things and get an original decor element practically for free.

We will share a few simple but practical ideas and bring to your attention a video about homemade products for a summer residence that are not described in the article.

We decorate the cottage with homemade products

A pair of swans. You will need two old car ramps to work. The most difficult process is cutting according to the pattern. It is best to work with a sturdy saw. You need to make two parallel cuts in half of the ramp. Cut the tape so that one piece turns out to be a corner, and the second has two cloves. Bend the stripes in different directions. Use red paint for the beak. Paint the torso black and White color... An amazing pair of swans is ready. It remains to install them on the site.

Desert island. Children love to play in the sandbox, and plastic bottles will help to decorate it in the country. For work, you need to prepare:

• brown and green bottles;
• metal rods;
• silicone glue;
• wire;
• some cement mortar.

The length of the rods is chosen according to your own preferences. Next to the sandbox or in the middle, dig a small depression and install 2 or 3 rigid rods different heights... Cover the structure with a small stone and pour cement mortar... Cut the bottom off brown bottles. If the rod is too thick, cut the neck to the desired diameter. Put the bottles down with the neck down until you get the trunk of the future palm tree. For strength, you can glue the bottles together.

Make the top of the tree out of green bottles. For one palm tree, you need six pieces of strong, stiff wire. Cut off the bottom in green bottles and cut into strips, not cutting 2 cm to the neck. Wire the bottles to create a lush palm branch. Attach to the main trunk. A beautiful DIY homemade product for a summer residence is ready and now the kids have their own uninhabited island.

Decorative finishing of the cottage. Nothing is impossible for a Russian person. Original decoration for a country house can be made of plastic covers. Collect this amount individual elements different colors is not easy at all, but with the help of neighbors and friends it is quite possible.

Important! All covers must be free of writing and dirt.

The fastening of the covers is done depending on the surface of the walls. On wooden walls the covers can be fastened with thin nails. Good way fastening with glue. Some craftsmen use thin wire. For such an attachment, 4 holes are made on the side of the cover in such a way that two wires are pulled perpendicularly through them. When you get tired of the laid out pattern, the grid is disassembled and another picture is laid out.

Practical homemade products for summer cottages and gardens

In addition to unnecessary things, you can make quite practical and necessary items in the household.

A comfortable ottoman made of an old car ramp. For work, you will need two more pieces of plywood, old dense things or a thick rope. Plywood needs to be cut 4 cm less than the outer diameter of the ramp. Use self-tapping screws to attach one circle at the top and the other at the bottom. If you intend to make a cover out of fabric, cut out a piece of foam rubber of the same diameter as the plywood. Old things need to be undone and individual parts washed. Sew a cover for an ottoman out of them. The ottoman can be made of thick rope. To do this, the rope is glued to the slope in a circle until the surface is completely covered.

Plastic bottles in the beds. There is no time to visit the dacha often, but I really want to grow my own vegetables. There is one simple way out - to use plastic in the beds big bottles... A 5 liter bottle is best suited for this. After stepping back from the bottom, drill a centimeter in two rows every 2-3 cm holes. Dig in one bottle between four bushes of vegetables so that the holes are at the level of the root system of the plants. Fill the dish with water and close the lid. While you are in the city, your vegetables are fed with moisture from the bottles. A photo of homemade products for a summer residence will help you bring to life the most simple ideas.

For lovers of neat flat beds, plastic or glass bottles useful as a decorative small fence. Dug bottles upside down will give your site some organization. Fenced off for a separate type of vegetables, the garden bed is easier to fertilize and weed. smooth and easy to clear of weeds without fear of damaging plant roots. Plastic bottles connected to each other in a pipe can be used as a gutter to collect rainwater from the roof.

From the remnants of an old tree cut across, it will turn out beautiful path in the garden. An original garden path can be made from cobblestones collected on the banks of the river.

Some craftsmen from plastic transparent bottles they make small greenhouses for growing the first green onions and radishes. The bottles of the same shape and size are cut into plates. After that, they are soldered together with glue. Light transparent sheets are obtained, which are attached to the prepared frame.

Homemade products for home and summer cottages can be very different. The main thing is to give free rein to your imagination and try to bring it to life.

A selection of photos of country homemade products:

A summer cottage is the territory where you can give yourself freedom to carry out numerous experiments and dream up to your heart's content. This manifests itself not only in interior design, but mainly in the design of the garden or vegetable garden. Inquisitive and inventive owners have not been guided by expensive and standard methods for the arrangement of their sites, since there are many alternative solutions for virtually all areas of activity.

There are several types of vertical beds that allow you to optimize the use of free space. Non-standard designs are an excellent opportunity to create an interesting design of a garden, vegetable garden, suburban area.

This type of garden bed is mostly used for growing ornamental plants or herbs.

Materials for making:

The length of the drainpipes is regulated in accordance with the wishes of the owner of the site. However, cumbersome beds should not be made, as they can complicate movement across the territory.

Creating a garden

Stage 1. Create a container. To do this, we take a drainpipe, cut it in half lengthwise and put on special plugs on both sides.

Stage 2. We take the prepared metal holders, put them on the resulting frames for the beds.

Stage 3. We make holes in the pipe. They are made in those places where metal fasteners will be located.

Stage 4. We pass a cable or a strong rope through the holes made.

Stage 5. We fix the cable / rope with fasteners.

Stage 6. We fill the resulting beds with expanded clay and soil.

Stage 7. We plant the plants in the beds.

Stage 8. We hang the pipes to the chosen place. Sometimes a special wooden crossbar is placed for this, or rather a construction in the shape of the letter "P".

Step 9. Alternatively, you can make a special design for the pipes.

Important! A bed of drainpipes is not resistant to strong gusty winds, so you should choose a place for it that is not blown from four sides by winds. V otherwise, the frame will quickly collapse, nullifying all your efforts.

A bed made of a plastic bag is another modification of vertical beds. It is extremely compact, functional and externally interesting. You can make such a bed in a couple of hours.

Materials for making:

• durable plastic wrap;
• sewing machine;
• priming;
• seedling.

In order for the bed to turn out to be durable, it is recommended to pay special attention to the thickness plastic film, which in this case will act as a "frame" of the structure. Minimum thickness films - 0.2 millimeters.

The process of creating a plastic bed

Step 1 . We cut out 2 rectangular film segments, the size of which corresponds to the size created beds... An allowance of one and a half to two centimeters should be left on each side. The recommended bed diameter is twenty centimeters.

Step 2. Sew the rectangles together, leaving only the upper part of the bag unconnected.

Step 3. Sew a handle to the future garden bed, the strength of which will support the weight of the bag filled with soil. It should also be borne in mind that when watering, the weight will increase.

Step 4. Fill the bag with fertilized soil.

Step 5. Make horizontal cuts on the bag in twenty centimeters increments. They are necessary in order to plant seedlings in the garden bed.

Step 6. We plant seedlings.

Step 7. Water the soil regularly and add the necessary fertilizers.

With these simple steps, you can get a cheap and useful garden bed.

An integral element of every summer cottage is a compost heap. This is the place where all kinds of biochemical reactions take place that ensure the creation of fertilizers.

To create fertilizers that will satisfy all the requirements imposed on them, you should carefully consider several key stages: creating a container and directly correct manufacturing the compost itself. Let's talk about each of them in more detail.

Stage 1. Take eight support posts of the same length.

Stage 2. We process the bottom of the wooden posts engine oil or tar.

Stage 3. We dig the posts into the ground so that they are reliable and stable. If compost bin will be located next to the fence, then 4 posts (that is, one side) can be attached to the fence. This will avoid having to dig 4 holes.

Stage 4. Between each two adjacent posts we nail the crossbeams so that we end up with three independent sections. Be sure to leave slots that will function as ventilation holes.

Stage 5. In two sections, we nail the boards horizontally to half the height of the posts. In these places, it is planned to create two small doors.

Step 6. The remaining section will have a large door, so only one plank should be nailed down. It should be located at the very bottom in a horizontal position, that is, like a regular crossbar.

Stage 7. Installing the covers. You can use one large solid board for this.

Stage 8. Install the pre-prepared doors.

Stage 9. We provide doors with handles and latches.

Stage 10. We process wood using special impregnations.

Step 11. Paint the box any color that suits your preferences.

Many gardeners mistakenly believe that any component can be dumped into a compost heap. In fact, to create the right biofertilizer, you need to carefully select the "ingredients".

Among the mandatory components of a compost heap are the following:

• peat;
• ash;
• needles;
• tree branches;
• leaves;
• hay or grass;
• wood ash;
• plant roots;
• raw vegetables and fruits, etc.

All elements are randomly mixed on the heap. To speed up chemical reactions it is recommended to cover the pile with a tarp (this is especially true in the absence of a box).

Traveling to the country house with the family presupposes the presence of entertainment elements on the site that will delight children. The most common way to keep young summer residents busy is with a swing.

Building a swing yourself is not an easy task, but quite doable. Of course, you can always take a stick, tie it with a rope and hang the structure on a tree, but this can hardly be called a full swing. True craftsmen prefer to construct comfortable designs with a comfortable seating position.

Constructive components:

• two logs;
• strong rope.

Indicators:

• diameter of logs - 85 mm;
• log length - 700 mm;
• the distance between the ropes is 500 mm.

Making a swing

Stage 1. We stretch the ropes between the logs.

Stage 2. We wrap each log with ropes.

Stage 3. We release the ropes out.

Stage 4. We tighten the ropes by 3 knots.

Stage 5. We fix the swing on the tree.

Important: such a swing is designed for only one person.

Garden path from scrap materials

There are several types of garden paths that you can easily do with your own hands.

Step 1. Remove the sidewall from the tire using a knife or saw.

Step 2. Cut the tires.

Step 3. We line the space with grooved stripes.

Step 4. We paint the path with paint.

Step 5. Sprinkle with stone chips.

it economical option for those who do not want to rack their brains and waste time on a full-fledged garden path. The tire track is usually used for vegetable gardens, as it easily fits into the ground.

Stage 1. We paint the corks in different colors.

Stage 2. We dig a small trench.

Stage 3. We drive in supports to strengthen the future track.

Stage 4. We build the formwork using boards.

Step 5. Install spacers along the edges of the trench.

Stage 6. We place crushed stone deep into the trench and carefully tamp it.

Stage 7. We make a mortar from sand, cement, glue and water.

Stage 8. Pour the solution into the trench.

Stage 9. Press the plugs in random order. Even multi-colored stripes look interesting.

These are the simplest and quick ways make a garden path without purchasing expensive materials.

DIY tools

The expression "everything will come in handy on the farm" is most relevant when it comes to canisters. From this plastic container, you can make a large number of irreplaceable tools that are actively used in the process of summer cottage work.

To make this tool, we only need a sharp knife and the container itself.

Stage 1. Cut off the bottom of the canister.

Stage 2. We mark on the container the cut line for the scoop so that the handle from the canister is the handle of the future tool.

Stage 3. Cut off excess material.

As a result of these simple steps, we get an excellent scoop with a comfortable handle.

Materials:

Manufacturing

Stage 1. Carefully wash the canister so that there is no smell left in it.

Stage 2. We cut the canister vertically into two parts.

Stage 3. Make a groove on the plank using a woodworking machine.

Stage 4. Apply glue to the plywood and insert into the bottom of the canister.

Stage 5. We paint the resulting shelf with a spray can.

Of course, such a structure will not withstand a lot of weight, but it is quite suitable for storing small parts.

Materials:

• 40 cans;
• scissors;
• rope;
• paper;
• marker.

Stage 1. We pierce the upper part of the cans with a knife.

Stage 2. We make a stencil out of paper.

Stage 3. We apply it to the canister, outline it with a marker.

Step 4. Cut out large holes with scissors.

Stage 5. We put the prepared cans in several rows, tying each row by prying the rope under the handles of the containers.

Stage 6. We tie all the rows around the perimeter for greater strength.

Stage 7. If the cabinet is planned to lean against the wall, then we drill it to the surface.

Stage 8. We put heavy objects in the bottom row - stones or bricks.

The result is a fairly spacious and functional rack that will help get rid of the issue of storing many small parts.

Be resourceful and courageous in bringing your ideas to life. Good luck!

Video - We do it ourselves for a summer residence

Every hostess and owner wants to make their home beautiful and comfortable. This article contains the most different ideas for the home, which allow you to achieve this result with a small investment of time, money and effort.

We decorate the walls

Recently, walls painted or pasted over with plain wallpaper have become very popular. Yes, They serve as a great backdrop for accessories, furniture, etc. But large empty spaces require some extras. How to decorate an empty wall? There are a lot of ways, you just need to choose the right one.

Geographic maps on the walls

An extremely simple and very effective home idea that helps solve the problem of empty walls - stick a geographic map. It is not suitable for any room and not for every interior, but for a children's room, study, balcony or loggia, and in some cases even for a bedroom or living room, you can find options. It is important to choose the right map for the interior, and they are not only "ordinary" - geographic. There are vintage, nautical, stylized, etc.

Where to find similar cards? Geographic maps can be found in bookstores or stationery stores. You won't find stylized or antique ones there. Some options can be found in wallpaper stores. There they are in the form of photowall-paper. Many different ones on the beloved by many Aliexpress, you can search in other online stores. But there is another option: find the map you like on the Internet, save it to a medium and print it in a company that is engaged in outdoor advertising. The only requirement is a large card format. They, of course, will be able to increase it, but not indefinitely. So the original image should be high quality and large.

We make modular paintings

The idea for the home - pictures and photos on the walls - is not new and has fed up with many. Yes, this is a classic, but I want something new and unusual. One of the options is modular paintings. This is one image split into a different number of fragments. Fragments can be different in size or the same. These "pieces of images" are often called "modules", hence the name "modular picture".

As an object, you can take any poster, poster, wallpaper. You can, again, print your favorite image in an advertising agency. In this case, you can even take your own photo or close friends, your favorite landscape, etc. Based on the composition of the picture, it is divided into several parts, cut. Frames are made for the fragments. The dimensions of the frames should be 3-5 cm smaller than the fragments so that the module can be wrapped and fixed on the back side.

Nature is one of the most popular motives Sunset sun on the sea - what could be more romantic Beach, sun, summer ...
Flowers again ... 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. You can attach images to tablets using glue (find a suitable one), or using construction stapler and staples.

Moreover, it is not at all necessary to spend an incredible amount of time and money on their creation. There are very simple ideas using the most mundane, and sometimes junk things.

Home ideas are a sea of ​​possibilities to improve the interior or to make your life more comfortable ... and sometimes both.

Decoration of vases and bottles with lace

Amazing transformations can take very little time. For example, you can make a uniquely beautiful vase from an ordinary vase, bottle or jar. Moreover, the process itself will take 10-15 minutes. 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 complex shapes, which can be made with ordinary lace with great difficulty. If you don't know how to knit, but you want to decorate a vase of an unusual shape, look for a stretch one. There is also such, 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 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 working day... Only this accessory is not for families with small children…. You will understand why.

Sad Zen in the original is a rather complex system, but stylizations can be made from a transparent rounded container or even from a glass candy bowl, vase, small aquarium... More sand will be needed for landscape design, terrariums or aquariums and a jerky 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 do desktop version 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 Buddha figurine. 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. All 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 take care of 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 rest 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 home-made 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 in a very non-standard way.

From old flannel pajamas and sweaters And these old jeans turn into an original pillowcase ... all you need is a fabric with an adhesive base Knitted miracle - very cozy Lace for finishing pillows - you need to choose a style Fleecy 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 coziness 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 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 out into the yard 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 does not 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 "charm" 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 even at the same time do not wrinkle? There are several life hacks that you can easily do with your own hands.

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 two clothespins. We attach the clothespins to the bar with one side. They can be nailed, screwed, glued. You will also need hinges to fix the structure itself on the wall.

Both home ideas are practical, require a minimum of money 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 books have to be stored somewhere. Exit - metal brackets. When installed, the lower book serves as a support for milking 4-5 pieces, which are simply stacked on it.

Book holder - everything 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 ball holders for big 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 separate board attach several pieces, and 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 farm is full of plastic containers from under food, but ideas for the house with their participation 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. The inner part we close it with a cover made of 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 using a nail heated on fire, we make two diagonally located holes (one opposite the other). In one hole we pass the formed loop on the handle. 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 - an ordinary braid, woven from several threads, will do.

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

Drink seagulls in your favorite chair - great idea... Here are just nowhere to put a cup, the phone always falls between the seat and the "byltsy". Armrests at modern models soft, you can't put anything on them. So smart people came up with a stand for cups / glasses (pictured). Extremely simple and very convenient 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 have modern furniture low and small wheels are needed, and they will have to be fixed 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 a place for their dog bowls. Dogs living in an apartment or house are usually fed in the kitchen. There they are given bowls. But they are needed for half an hour a day, and then all day they get underfoot on the floor. You can solve the problem, and elegantly. Place the bowls in one of the drawers... Needed - they opened a box, poured food. The feeding is over - the bowls have been washed, put back, the drawer has been pushed back. 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. Plywood, or other sheet material cut a rectangle the right size... We 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 of interesting ideas solutions to the problem - such pipes / holders for slippers. Each pair has its own pipe. Order is guaranteed.

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