If desired, such decoration can even be inner surfaces drawers of a table. The choice is almost unlimited, it all depends on the interior idea and your imagination.

Idea 2. The original tray

On the territory of Russia and the CIS countries, for some reason, such a phenomenon as serving breakfast in bed is not widespread. At best, ideas to arrange such an action arise on major or themed holidays like March 8 or birthday. To submit good mood with breakfast in bed, a nice tray is needed. As a basis for an idea, you can use a ready-made one or make it yourself from an old photo frame or even a cutting board.

You can decorate the often not the most attractive surface of this piece of furniture using the same remnants of wallpaper. An updated or "re-created" tray will look like an integral part of the room's design idea.

Idea 3. The boundaries of space

The remnants of wallpaper can help divide the area into functional areas. To equip, for example, a place to work, it is necessary to draw its clear boundaries. And you can bring such ideas to life with your own hands using wallpaper with a different pattern or with a contrast colors... At the same time, there is no need to worry about the room interior looking awkward. Rather, on the contrary, the "room in a room" effect will become a real highlight of the living space.

Idea 4. Wallpaper as a panel

Extra wallpaper can be a great idea for creating art objects. It is enough just to paste over a part of the wall in the living room or the space at the head of the bed with them. Such a move will add volume to the interior design, as well as visually expand the space.

Idea 5. Vintage chair

If you paste over the back of an old chair with wallpaper, then it will cease to look like an inappropriate appendage to the interior of the room. WITH natural wood vibrant floral prints are perfectly combined, and wallpaper with a neutral and calm motive is perfect for furniture with chrome legs.

  • use removable wallpaper;
  • using available tools, make a removable cover for the back of a chair from wallpaper;
  • additionally protect the surface with some durable transparent coating made with your own hands from scrap materials.

It should not be forgotten that the chair does not necessarily have to be used for its intended purpose. This piece of furniture can serve as a shelf or flower stand. Ideas on how to use an updated piece of furniture can turn out to be quite unusual and original with a little imagination.

Idea 6. Portal in the closet

V old wardrobe you can breathe new life. This technique is also applicable to hanging cabinets and cabinets with transparent facades. To implement such an idea, you need to remove the doors, pull out all the shelves, rods and other objects that may interfere, and then paste over the back wall with the remnants of bright wallpaper. It is better to leave the side walls intact, in which case the cabinet will cease to seem bulky and awkward. The glass shelves where the dishes are stored are perfectly combined with the bright wallpaper on the back wall. This technique is great for kitchen wall cabinets and furniture walls in the living room.

Idea 7. Bright accents

Coffee or coffee table can become brighter if you paste over its countertop and other surfaces with beautiful wallpaper. Such a move will not only decorate the subject interior, but also protect it from damage and scratches. You can also decorate with your own hands using the remaining wallpaper some small cabinet or refrigerator.

Idea 8. Transformation of style

The design and the main ideas of the interior are always made up of seemingly insignificant details. You can also emphasize the originality of the decoration of the room with your own hands by decorating even the most ordinary objects. If you paste over a wine bottle with bright wallpaper, it will turn into an unusual vase. The same trick can be used to transform various decorative elements, such as photo frames.

Idea 9. Staircase decor

If you have imagination and some original idea, you can decorate with your own hands almost any piece of furniture. Including the stairs. Wallpaper can be pasted over steps or railings. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to glue the wallpaper over the entire area. It may turn out that a strip of wallpaper in the center or along the edges is quite enough for the steps. Railings can be decorated in whole or in part.

So, for example, wooden railings with bright ribs look attractive and unusual, and correctly selected stripes on the steps visually make them wider.

Idea 10. Bright lampshade

With the help of the remnants of wallpaper, you can transform the old lamp beyond recognition. The lampshade can be pasted over with wallpaper, either completely or partially. It should be noted that the light from the bulb will illuminate the pattern and ornament of the wallpaper, which looks at least unusual and interesting.

For large luminaires, narrow stripes with different patterns and ornaments can be used, provided that they match with each other.

Idea 11. Tablecloth decor

Wallpaper left after renovation can become quite budgetary, but an original and stylish way to decorate a festive table. A long strip of removable wallpaper spread across the center and along the entire length of the table will transform the look of the interior. To complete the picture, you can install vases with flowers, candlesticks and beautiful dishes on the resulting strip.

Idea 12. Spotlight

Perhaps for someone this will be a real discovery, but it is not at all necessary to paste over all the walls in the room with wallpaper. Moreover, the modern market practically does not limit the choice of finishing materials. Wallpaper can only be on one of the walls or even on the ceiling.

It is important to remember that a large print visually reduces the space of a room, and a small ornament or pattern can create the appearance of a couple of additional square meters.

Idea 13. Wallpaper on the way out!

Sometimes, at the end of the repair, it turns out that the door merges with the walls. This problem is especially relevant for rooms decorated in light colors. Bright wallpaper glued to the door will help to correct the situation. Thus, the interior will be complemented by a contrasting accent that will dilute the monotonous color scheme.

Idea 14. A hole in the wall

Who said windows should look like windows? If you paste over the window frame and window sill with a finishing material for the walls, then you can achieve the effect when the window looks like part of the wall. This trick will look spectacular in both large and small rooms.

Idea 15. Masking the battery radiator

In many apartments, the appearance of the radiator leaves much to be desired. You can change this state of affairs using a self-made or purchased box, pasted over with wallpaper. In this case, it is important to pay special attention to the choice of wallpaper glue, since some formulations can emit unpleasant odors when heated.

DIY home decor differs in variety and purpose. Homemade beautiful things and useful crafts for the home can be used as original furnishings, decorative elements, or as accessories for storing various household items.

In order to make things with your own hands, it is not necessary to buy expensive materials, you can also use improvised means.

The creation of an unusual decor is possible without large material costs... Most of you have various unnecessary little things in your house, for example, fabrics, colored paper, buttons - all this can be used as materials for crafts.

Such "junk" is in almost every home, if you take apart the closet or dig in the attic - something, yes. Natural materials, glue and threads are also useful for making beautiful novelties and homemade little things. But ideas for handmade decor at home are also needed - of course.

Many believe that only people with experience can craft and independently create presentable interior items - this is a delusion.

DIY home craft ideas

So, what can you do with your own hands for the home? Let's look at a few ideas for inspiration. Among the options offered, you will definitely find something interesting for yourself and try to make the thing you like with your own hands.

Housekeeper

One of the useful things for the house, while performing a decorative function that you can make with your own hands, is the housekeeper.

The peculiarity of this housekeeper is that its design imitates brickwork. The basis for the key holder is thick cardboard (you can use part of a box). You will also need a tight toilet paper or thick napkins. A dense material is needed so that it does not creep when lubricated with glue. Stock up on acrylic paints, varnish and glue (regular PVA will do).

Make the back wall of the key holder out of rectangular cardboard or plywood sheet. Hooks will be attached to the base. Cut small bricks out of cardboard rectangular, the size should be the same and glue them to the base, leaving a small distance between the parts. Not the entire surface of the cardboard is pasted over with bricks.

In the central part, you need to stick a plate decorated with an inscription, and place a beautiful picture in the upper part.

After that, coat the bricks well with glue, and on top put a napkin (previously crumpled), a little more glue for impregnation. Using a stick, press a napkin or paper into the gaps between the miniature bricks to create corners. Give the craft time to dry.

Paint over the dried panel with paint (to imitate natural brick, you need to choose a red-brown shade). Use bronze paint to paint the seams.

After the paint dries, cover the bricks in the same tone, using a dry brush (dip the brush in bronze paint, and then wipe it on paper until it is almost dry, and only then brush the brickwork).

On a note! When painting bricks with a brush, you need to drive without changing direction.

To make the key holder sleek, cover it with a clear matte varnish.

The work is completed by attaching loops, after which it can be hung on the wall or donated to someone. In the photo below - the finished housekeeper:

Hanger for jewelry

All the fair sex love jewelry; almost every woman has jewelry that needs to be stored somewhere. The original storage for jewelry will be a hanger made like a picture.

In order to make a hanger for storing jewelry, you will need:

  • baguette frame;
  • plywood;
  • stain (paint can be used as a substitute);
  • hooks and handles from boxes;
  • nails;
  • screwdriver and drills;
  • cutting tool.

Cut the plywood according to the dimensions of the frame and coat it with stain, then dry it and attach it to the frame. Mark the places where the hooks will be attached and screw them down. It remains to hang decorations on a hanger.

Now you have a place to store women's treasures - jewelry.

Box made of plastic canvas for storing small items

A simple but presentable box designed for storing various little things can be made of plastic canvas.

Canvas is an embroidery material. You will need a canvas made of plastic, you can buy it in stores where everything for needlework is sold.

On a note! The plastic canvas is usually made in the form of A4 sheets. Perforation in the plastic canvas differs in size. Canvases are produced with a different number of perforations, the more there are, the less they are.

In addition to the canvas, you need to stock up on the following materials:

  • dense threads;
  • large needle;
  • cloth or beads;
  • scissors.

The embroidery on the canvas made of plastic is almost no different from the usual one. Embroidery techniques can be different, the most popular are cross and satin stitch.

The plastic canvas is flexible, but very durable.

Decide how big your box will be. Divide the material into parts for the sides and bottom. There should be five parts in total. Craft the elements for the lid. Make a piece that is 0.5 cm larger in width and length from the bottom. The sides of the lid should be slightly narrower. You will need five more parts. Then sew the parts with dense threads (you can use braid, and even ribbons).

You can embroider any pattern on the blanks. Drape the parts that have not been embroidered with a cloth or embroider with beads.

After completing all 10 blanks, start the assembly. The first step is to sew the side pieces to the bottom. Then sew on the outside of all the side elements of the box and sew the top along the edges. The last step is to assemble the cover in the same way.

Similarly, we collect the lid of the box.

A beautiful box made of plastic canvas is ready.

Wicker rugs in tapestry technique

Tapestry rugs are one of the options for adding coziness to the interior. You don't need special tools to weave such things. A rug using the tapestry technique can be made from scrap materials: thick threads that are used for knitting (they can be replaced with ropes made from old clothes) and cords.

Tapestry is a lint-free carpet made by hand... The base of the tapestry rugs is decorated with ornaments created by weaving threads. We will create a plot composition in the form of a circle with traced lines, along which a thread will run, which will serve as the basis.

All work is carried out using weft threads. Under the complex name, ordinary ropes and braid are hidden, from which weaving and decorative patterns are created.

  • choose a strong thread to create the base;
  • broaching the weft thread should be done by hand;
  • to make the tapestry more dense, you can press the threads to the center, for this use a simple fork.

Stage one. We outline the cardboard with the size of 500 x 500 mm. We sew the cardboard with the thread chosen for the base. To do this, cut the markings drawn on the cardboard and thread the rope through the lines so that it runs through the central part.

Stage two. We start weaving tapestry. You need to carefully fix the starting thread. Weaving using the tapestry technique consists in pulling the cord underlying by alternating one thread at the top and the second at the bottom.

Stage three. After weaving the last turn of the thread in a circle of cardboard, you need to turn the resulting rug over reverse side and cut off the base cords. Leave about 5 cm at the ends when trimming. Pull the ends of the laces out of the notches made on the cardboard (the picture does not need to be removed while pulling out) and tie them in pairs. Attach pompons to the resulting knots.

Finish the composition by sewing on a thick rope from the wrong side in a circle to hide the knots and ends of the threads.

Advice. Using different textures and shades of threads, you can make different rugs and then combine them into one. You will make a carpet big size that can be hung on the wall or laid on the floor.

A tapestry rug placed on the floor will warm it up and look beautiful as well. Weaving a tapestry rug with your own hands is not difficult: try it and see for yourself.

Ribbon curtain

You can make an unusual curtain from ribbons. The tape curtain is suitable for both windows and doors. It will take a little time to make a curtain from ribbons, even sewing machine need not. The fluttering ribbon curtain repels insects well; earlier such curtains were made from strips of newspapers.

To make a curtain from ribbons, you need the following materials:

  • ribbons or fabric strips (with non-frayed edges);

Flower pots made of paper bags

Many people have paper bags at home, instead of throwing them away, make a flower planter out of them.

Materials for making flower pots:

  • paper bags;
  • wood skewer;
  • scissors;
  • rope;
  • glue;
  • plastic container.

Take paper bags and mark them on them: eight strips measuring 70x300 mm, then cut the paper along the dotted lines.

Place a wood skewer in the corner of one of the strips and wrap a paper base diagonally around it. You must make a paper tube from each strip. Tape the corners of the paper tubes so that they do not unwind. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun.

Take a plastic container, apply glue to it and wrap it with paper (from all the same bags) so that the plastic is not visible. Glue the paper tubes to the bottom of the container. Cut 70x450 mm paper strips (you will need large bags) and make tubes.

Wrap the tubes so that they are pressed against the walls of the container. Attach a long paper tube with glue to the bottom of the container, and wrap it around it, you need to braid the main tubes. Wrap all the main tubes, and then change the direction of weaving to braid the missing tubes - this is how you need to wrap the entire container.


Make two holes in the sides of the pot (top).

Pull the string through the holes made, at each end of the twine you need to tie a knot in order to fix it well. Another woven tube will help to hide the ends of the twine. Wrap the tubules protruding above the pot inside the container and secure with glue.
