Quilting
Patchwork or patchwork is an old technique for creating textile products. In the villages you can still find an old patchwork quilt, sofa cushions, floorboards.
For interior design in a rustic style or a children's room, this technique is very suitable. Moreover, not only shreds of fabric, but also satin wide ribbons come in handy.
You can sew a whole bedspread or use the patchwork only to decorate its central fragment. In the kitchen, this technique will find application for the manufacture of potholders, rugs for stools and chairs.
Ikebana
To make bouquets, both freshly cut and dried flowers and other fragments of plants are suitable. It is also important to choose the right vase or other container for ikebana. It can even be a flat dish or an old teapot with a new decor.
To decorate the branches, you can use artificial flowers for decor, small toys, amulets, pebbles and even pieces of colored pencils.
Each of the decorations should indicate which room the bouquet will be in: decorative oranges - a kitchen, toys - for children, and small figures made of soap for the bathroom.
Wall Decoration Ideas
The walls of the apartment can be “revived” if their monophonic design is dull and monotonous. Ideas for wall decor include the use of a wide variety of techniques and objects.
In the nursery, drawings by a young artist will be used. In the living room, the walls can be turned into an art gallery. In the bedroom there is the place for the “family tree” panel with photographs of all family members.
Small shelves located on the wall in the form of an ornament will fulfill not only a decorative function, but also serve as a place for storage.
The simplest thing is to take a stencil and put on the wall a silhouette of a person or a tree with fruits. And even easier to buy ready-made wall stickers.
And for those who can draw, it will not be difficult to turn the wall into a narrow eastern street or the ocean shore with palm trees or just to please the child with colorful butterflies over a flowering meadow.
Decoration of the lamp
If the lampshade of a floor lamp or sconce looks rustic or has completely lost its appearance from time to time, it can be updated or simply replaced with a home-made one.
You will need hemp thread, glue, an inflatable balloon. It needs to be inflated to the desired size. Moisten the rope in glue and wrap half the ball to make a hemisphere. The winding should be openwork. Stick the end of the rope too.
After drying, the ball must be burst, and the openwork lampshade should be decorated with decorative flowers, butterflies, ribbons or painted with spray paint.
