Every homeowner wants to feel as comfortable as possible. This becomes the reason that there is a desire to design the interior not only beautifully, but also in an original way.

However, often the funds for this are not enough, because the services of professional designers, like beautiful things, are not cheap. Therefore, in recent years, an increasing number of homeowners prefer to independently decorate the interior of the house with crafts from improvised tools that are cheap.

It is worth noting that the main advantage of such crafts is not the cheapness of materials. The most attractive circumstance is that every thing you create is unique. But it is the uniqueness of the design that attracts attention.

From products that were created with their own hands, a special energy comes. And thanks to this, an atmosphere of comfort and warmth appears in the house.

An important circumstance is the fact that such designs can act not only in the role of ordinary decorating elements. With their help, you can much more conveniently organize the space. After all, they can be used to store a variety of small things that are necessary for the economy.

 

Do you think this is impossible, since you need to have any special skills? No, even a child can handle this work on creating crafts.

Pay attention to the photo of crafts from improvised tools, which is presented below. It depicts an example of creating a key holder, which is not only a beautiful addition to the interior, but also serves as a small hanger for keys.

And the process of its creation is not difficult. Let's consider it in more detail.

Hanger for keys

Surely, many are familiar with the situation when you have to raise your whole family to the ears to find the keys. Indeed, often people do not burden themselves with the purchase of special small shelves for storing keys and other small things.

And since the key is quite small items, losing it among the larger things is easy. To get rid of the need to constantly look for keys, many store them in handbags.

However, we can offer you a more interesting and original way of storage. And for this we will build a key keeper.

Its main feature is that outwardly it will resemble a product decorated with brickwork.

About how to make a craft in the form of a key keeper from improvised tools, we will tell in stages. But first, let’s look at exactly what tools and materials will be needed to create it: a thick sheet of cardboard or plywood, thick napkins, hooks, glue, varnish, paints.

Stages of performing a key keeper

At the first stage, you need to cut out the back wall of the future key holder. As a material, you can use both thick cardboard and a not too thick piece of plywood.

In the second step, you should cut out small rectangles from cardboard that will simulate a brick. Please note that they must be the same size.

In the third step, you must glue the cut out "bricks" to the base with glue. Remember that there should be a small gap between them. And also do not glue them over the entire surface of the product. Indeed, in the central part there should be a small plate with an inscription, and in the upper part there should be a picture.

At the fourth stage, you should start lubricating the bricks with glue. Do not spare the glue at this stage, because it is necessary for you to put a crumpled napkin on top of it. From above it can also be covered with a small layer of glue for better impregnation.

Using a stick or the back of a brush, press the tissue into the gaps to form corners. Leave the product to dry.

Please note that any crafts from improvised tools at home should be durable. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not save on binders.

At the fifth stage, the process of creating visual similarities with natural brickwork begins. As soon as the panel dries, paint it. Seams must be stained with bronze paint.

In the sixth step, paint the bricks a second time. However, this time you need to use a dry brush. To do this, dip it in bronze masonry, wipe it on paper to make it dry, and then dip it again in the color with which you painted the bricks.

Remember that to achieve maximum similarity, you should only brush in one direction.

In the seventh stage, which is the final, you should cover the finished product with transparent varnish and attach the hooks on which the keys will hang.

Crafts for a personal plot

If you are the owner of a country house, then for you the decoration process is not limited only to the area of ​​the home. Therefore, to improve the area around the house, you should use garden crafts from improvised means that will decorate any garden or vegetable garden.

For their manufacture, you can use plastic bottles, hemp, tires and old soft toys. In this case, it all depends on what set of tools and materials you have.

Experts strongly recommend using crafts to decorate lawns and flower beds. Homemade ornaments for flower beds and flower beds look very nice.

Crafts from tires are very popular, because creating them is quite simple, but at the same time they look original and interesting.

For example, you can create a real cup from tires, which will become a wonderful flower garden. To create it, you need one tire, a round board (the diameter of the board should be larger than the tire), paint, a small piece of rubber.

The tire and board must be painted in the color that you like. If you have the artist’s skills, you can use them to decorate the product with beautiful images.

In the event that you do not have such drawing skills, you can paint the design in one color or with polka dots. The cup handle should be secured with a large stapler. And now your product is ready.

We draw your attention to the fact that even children's crafts from improvised means can become a worthy decoration of your garden. Use the crafts of the kids that they made from plastic bottles and cups. Despite their simplicity, they look quite original.

If they are small, use them to decorate the porch or window sills.Thus, you can focus on them, and they will not get lost in a large area of ​​the garden.
