Stand made from garbage. Wall pockets for papers or tools

Materials:

scissors, glue, juice or milk boxes, newspaper (several spreads), acrylic paint, brush, thick thread (linen cord).

First, let's take 3 juice boxes. Let's cut off the tops, where the milk poured out. Let's unfold the whole package so that it becomes flat, wash it and dry it well or wipe it dry with a cloth.

We begin to tear off the top glossy layer. It will come off easily and quickly if you pull from the cutting line at the top. Carefully tear off near the seam so that it does not come apart; if you pull hard on a layer of glossy paper, just do not sharply tear off the paper near the seam!

This is what we came up with, pretty quickly! These are blanks, straighten the cut edge so that all blanks are the same height.

We begin to glue the blanks. To do this, take paper or newspaper, tear it into small pieces and begin gluing it to the surface of the workpieces.

Let’s not forget to process and glue the edges of the blanks; to do this, take a long strip of newspaper and glue it on the outside and inside. Glue a strip of newspaper and turn it inside the workpiece. On the outside, everything will stick very well, but on the inside, it will stick, but very weakly, because inside we have a very glossy layer left, to which it is difficult to stick something, so we don’t pay attention to this, or we sew a piece of braid along the edge, or Glue the fabric on the outside and turn it inside. In this case, I just glued the edge and that's it.

Let's tint it a little with white acrylic paint so that the text doesn't catch the eye, and also, the paint evens out the surface of the blanks.

Take a brush of black paint and dry it on newspaper.
Let's go over the edges of the bags with an almost dry brush.

We fasten the pockets with a ladder using a glue gun.
Glue on different decor and you're done!

Everything is very simple! You can simply paint it with bright acrylic and decorate it with beautiful flowers, it will turn out to be a completely different thing!

Juice or milk boxes can become very unusual and useful. They can make wonderful toys for kids. Children especially value what they have made themselves. And this material, which can be found in any home, is not needed by anyone. Parents won't argue if something doesn't work out of the box and they have to throw it away. But a child’s imagination will tell you what can be made from a used box. Parents can be proud of a child who can use available materials for his creativity. A toy made by a child independently or together with his parents will bring more joy than one bought in a store.

If a child cannot figure out how to use a used item, he needs to be prompted and helped in developing creativity and imagination.

Here are some examples of milk carton crafts you can make while teaching your baby.

Wallet

Children always have a lot of little things to do. To prevent them from being scattered throughout the room, you can suggest making a wallet. Of course, milk bags will be used for production.

Feeders

Birds will fly to visit under the window, and the child will pour food and wait for the birds. To do this, you need to make slits in the bag on several sides; a variety of birds should fly through them to taste the grains. The bottom of the bag will serve as a kind of table. A rope is attached to the top and the feeder is suspended from a tree branch. You can paint it in the shape of a house by drawing windows and doors. Come in, dear guests, help yourself!

Cubes

And that's not all milk carton crafts. Take, for example, construction sets that use cubes. Why not make these elements of homemade houses yourself? These parts will turn out even better than store-bought ones, because you can decorate them with pictures, paint them yourself, and use bright self-adhesive paper to decorate them.
