You really want your house to look stylish and expensive, but doing this with your own hands is actually easier than you might think. From the most ordinary, and sometimes unnecessary things, DIY crafts for the home look great.
Expensive furniture, works of art, modern gadgets will undoubtedly make your home look luxurious, but sometimes very little money, a little creativity and neatness are enough to get an interior that looks expensive and stylish, and all this attractive splendor is very inexpensive.
If you want to put your hands and soul into decorating your home, here are some ideas on how to do it.
DIY crafts from jars
Use jars to organize small items such as cotton balls, ear buds, and bath salts. This useful decor is ideal for a bathroom or bedroom. The jars may be the same or not, this is not very important here. The important element here is the handles. These are furniture handles. When I visit hardware stores or furniture workshops, it is difficult for me to tear myself away from display cases with handles; I am especially attracted to transparent ones in the form of crystals. It truly looks luxurious. I always regretted that I didn’t have furniture where I could attach such luxury.
And here it is, a godsend for beautiful hands. Naturally, the lids on the jars originally came in all sorts of colors, but they were painted with simple white spray paint. And the luxurious handles were glued with metal glue.
From bottles
Such an exquisite decoration of the simplest bottles can be made using decal paper with transparent film. Of course, first the bottle needs to be painted desired color, and then start decorating the surface.
You need to find an interesting pattern that suits your interior in shape and color and transfer it to the surface of the bottle. The design is printed on decal paper for a laser or inkjet printer.
By the way, such paper is called differently. Decal paper, gummed paper, decal and even transfer paper are all the same thing.
Then, the drawing is cut with scissors and lowered into the water. After 10-12 seconds, the picture will separate from the substrate. You can watch the video, a very interesting way to accurately transfer a design to the surface of a cup.
Read the guidelines for printing on decal paper carefully. Find out the paper type for your inkjet or laser printer; in the printer settings, check whether the paper type is specified correctly. Before applying to the surface, it must be degreased with alcohol. The treatment liquid must not contain acetone. Dry the applied design with a hairdryer or in the oven. Attention! The oven temperature should not exceed 150 degrees.
After application, coat with acrylic matte or glossy varnish, depending on the purpose of decoration.
With this paper you can make drawings that will last for many years, such bottles and vases can be washed, nothing will happen to them.
Anyone who has a creative streak is sorry to throw away empty “glass containers”.
And this is a right regret, because even the simplest glass bottles look magical in the interior.
Serving napkins
Great idea! I talked about this exquisite decoration at home in the previous article about. And I liked Lyudmila Sanzharovskaya’s comment that such table setting gives status to the owners of the house.
From newspaper and magazine tubes
I never thought that such practically free material would be so flexible. I was a guest at a children's creative center with a surprisingly cute name “White Rabbit”. The hostess showed me the children's handicrafts, I was amazed, here is a dish woven from newspapers. After all, you can’t tell it from a vine. This dish will be varnished, it will not be afraid of water, and it can be used perfectly in the kitchen or in the garden for fruit.
This craft requires more skill and experience. But, as they say, the worst is the beginning.
Stylish crafts made from cord
Nice natural color Cotton cord is a favorite material for DIY crafts. Flower pots and organizers look elegant and noble, especially in combination with brightly colored tassels made from floss threads or natrul materials such as leather.
You can make rugs and baskets from scraps. But if the rugs can be made only from shreds, cut into ribbons and tied together into one thread for knitting. It is better to make a basket on a cord around which the shreds are wrapped. The basket should keep its shape. You can put tangles, scraps and everything a needlewoman needs in her handicraft corner.
From an old sweater
You can make a craft box look stylish using just an old sweater that no one wears anymore.
Book holders
I found such a cute guy on the Internet, I already have an article about holders, but it’s hard to pass by such a charmer. Regular stone, is so skillfully painted and does its functional task so well. Although in the article about holders the idea of a silver or gold polyhedron looks very expensive, the painted stone looks very nice and homey.
Beans and brushes for stylish crafts for the home
This proposal looks more like a life hack, but it looks so stylish that I decided to place this photo in crafts for the home. The truth about “making” here is only the process of pouring beans into a transparent vessel of suitable size.
Crazy Shred
A wonderful technique for crafts for the home - crazy patchwork or crazy patchwork. The good thing about this technique is that all kinds of fabric scraps are used. Every girl who sews more or less has somewhere a treasured bag with scraps and leftovers. Using the technique of real, academic patchwork Special attention paid to the selection of fabrics. They even sell sets. But there are no restrictions in this technique and it is easy to do.
Here, a guest of my site, Luda Strakovskaya, shows how to sew a potholder using this technique, everything is simple and clear.
In fact, potholders are a very necessary and beautiful detail of the kitchen interior.
But there are also options for this technique in the living room. Decorative pillows for beauty, comfort and as a cohesive color element of the interior.
A scattering of puzzles
I don’t know about you, but I have a huge number of puzzles that have migrated from one box to another, got mixed up, rearranged, and now it’s no longer possible to assemble anything worthwhile from them. And here it’s so nice and nice idea for children's.
Crafts from buttons
This is a classic of the genre. Anything can be made from buttons, and there is practically no person who does not like to look at buttons. And in hardware stores there are always crowds of people near the scattering of buttons sold at discounts.
Recently I went into a store, there was a table with high sides and inside there were piles of various buttons that were left in the store one or several at a time, leftovers and illiquid items. A special scoop is stuck into the slide; you can pick up buttons directly with the scoop.
Mom and daughter, daughter, about 5-6 years old, are collecting buttons in bags, their faces are happy, overjoyed. I ask what you will do with them. Mom, hurriedly, - Oh, we don’t know yet.
I really want to see what they came up with with their buttons.
Maybe such beauty, for example.
Cinder candles
Candles are always needed in the house. To create a romantic mood, for relaxation and release from the negative energy of the past hard working day, and, of course, for cases when there is an emergency power outage in the house.
Oh, this incident is perhaps the most favorite in our family. Especially when the children were little. Everyone pulls up to the kitchen, the kettle is turned on, the candles are lit and moments of happy family unity begin. It would be nice if everyone’s phones were dead by this time.
After such gatherings, a decent amount of cinders remains, or rather, this amount depends on the time needed by the emergency service to fix network problems.
The cinders need to be melted and poured into cups left over from sets or for some reason not used for their intended purpose.
Or you can make the “cup” itself from the same molten mass.
More ideas for a wooden nursery
A kind of stadiometer, or rather an age meter made of wooden square planks, will decorate and allow you to observe changes in the size of the hand of the owner of the room.
Well, or just decorate a children’s room on a budget, involving both kids and adults in the creative process.

My home is my castle. Yes, that's what they often say. But you and I are not living in the Middle Ages, our fortress should not be an ordinary house, but a cozy nest, where everything is beautiful and comfortable. In this article, we will look together at various ideas for decorating rooms that you can do with your own hands without much expense.
Hallway
Even the simplest entrance area can be made functional and stylish. Wood paneling will bring a fresh touch to the interior. Not only is it simply beautiful, it is also convenient. On the panel you can screw hooks for bags and jackets. You can also make a small shelf on top for useful little things.
There is also an interesting solution for small apartments. Shoe rack, hooks and cabinets can be combined into one organizer.
Regular front door You can also make it a stylish element using wooden diapers.
To keep your shoes out of the way and not dirty anything, you can make an unusual stand from a wooden box and stones. So even after a walk in the rain, your hallway will remain clean.
By the way, instead of pebbles, you can use an artificial mat made of plastic grass.
An old ladder can be used as a shoe rack. Now all the shoes will be at hand.
For a couple of years now, it has been fashionable to make all sorts of household items from wooden pallets. In the hallway you can use them as shoe stands. You can make a shelf on top for small items or just put flowers, and attach hooks for umbrellas on the sides.
There is a small life hack for pet owners. To keep dog or cat bowls out of the way, mount them on a separate shelf in a closet or under a countertop.
Surprise your guests with a non-standard approach to such an ordinary thing as coat hooks. Wooden slats, branches, screws, a little imagination and voila! The unusual hanger is ready.
Bathroom and toilet room
These premises should, first of all, be comfortable. However, one should not forget about beauty. After all, everyone is pleased when the necessary things are at hand, when there is no need to untangle the wires from the hair dryer or rush around looking for ear sticks. We offer several simple ways organization of space.
An old closet drawer or shutters from a flea market can be turned into a toiletry holder.
And old floorboards can be used in wall decor. It looks unusual, but is very simple to do: the slats are either glued to the wall or screwed with self-tapping screws. They can be painted, varnished or otherwise decorated on top.
Nowadays it is very possible to use jars to serve drinks and dishes. Why not use them in decoration? You don't have to look for those same Mason jars that the whole Internet is crazy about. Any others will do.
We are all accustomed to towels hanging on hooks and taking up quite a lot of space. Use shelves to store bath accessories. And it’s convenient, because you can put something else on the shelves, and it’s beautiful.
Now it has become very possible to use stone to decorate a bathroom. They cover the walls and decorate the bathtub. You can even make a rug out of pebbles! Just don’t forget the rubber base in this case so as not to scratch the floor.
To avoid the hassle of separating your laundry before washing, make a rack with several storage baskets at once. Baskets can be painted in the color of the laundry for which they are intended.
By the way, about washing. Tired of plain white washing machine? Paint it. All you need is permanent enamel and a stencil. The latter can be made from masking tape.
Living room
Getting a stylish shelving unit quickly and inexpensively is no problem. Use wooden boxes. They can be arranged as you need, making shelves various sizes. There is another plus - you can put together such a cabinet with your whole family and have a lot of fun.
Using the same principle, you can make a desktop. You will need modular shelving from Ikea, a table top, slats, screws and some paint. The number of shelves and the shape of the entire table depends on your needs.
In general, the use of wood in the interior is one of this year’s highlights. Wooden pallets, parts from old furniture, ladders, branches, etc. are used.
Hanging shelves will help make your living room more interesting. You can use both ropes of different diameters and belts.
A cornice is always a very expensive pleasure. But if you have a non-standard window and only need to order the appropriate size, then it turns into a complete pain. The simple solution is to use small-diameter plastic water pipes. You just need to paint them in a color that suits your interior.
Another life hack on the topic of curtains. How to decorate a window without using a cornice at all? You will need a wooden lath and a lot of hooks for clothes. Don't forget to sew the loops to the curtain.
You can zone the space in different ways: walls, screens, curtains. There is another way - jute cords. You can use any other materials like ribbons or colored fishing line.
Bedroom
Garlands and photographs will help you decorate your bedroom walls in an unusual way. But you don’t need heavy frames with glass or any special things for this. Photos can be posted on fishing line, string, or directly on the wall using double-sided tape. And single-color garlands will create an atmosphere of comfort and romance.
Shelves of unusual shape will add freshness to the interior.
Great idea for girls to organize their decorations. You will need branches, cords and decorative nails. The latter need to be stuffed onto branches at the required distance and hung on the wall with laces.
The new is the well-forgotten old. It's the same with decor. You don't have to buy a new chest of drawers or cabinets when you have an old one. You can simply paint it. And then your favorite thing will serve you for many more years.
To save space, there is one very simple “trick” - a shelving wall. This will help get rid of most of the closets in the room.
Add some magic to your bedroom with cotton clouds and garlands.
An old ladder can serve not only as a clothes hanger, but also as a library shelf. This solution seems strange, but just try it - it's really convenient.
Most important element bedrooms - bed. A large double bed is a dream. However, such a thing is often expensive. Don't despair, because making your own bed frame is not at all difficult. Using wooden slats of different thicknesses, self-tapping screws, saws and stain, you can make the bed frame exactly the way you want.
Kitchen
The kitchen is the most visited place in the house. Making it functional and comfortable is quite easy, and now we will look at several examples of rational organization of space that will not only help to restore order, but also make the room more comfortable.
To keep spatulas, spoons, forks and knives out of the way on the countertop, use jars. If you paint them, it will be great.
In small kitchens, you need to make the most efficient use of space. Hidden shelves and built-in wardrobes are your best friends in this case.
Even in the cabinets themselves, you can organize the space so that you can fit more. Internal shelves can be mounted not only on the walls, but also on the doors. It seems like this simple idea, but how useful.
Life hack: to prevent lids from pots and pans from taking up much space, use regular plastic towel hooks.
There is always one problem with deep boxes - it is difficult to get to what is in the depths. The solution is simple - round rotating shelves. All products are visible and easy to get.
We are all used to the fact that spoons, forks, etc. are stored vertically in the kitchen drawer. What if the box is too small for, for example, a rolling pin? Diagonal placement of sectors will allow you to fit everything.
So that all the spices are visible and do not get lost on the kitchen countertop, make a stand with a ladder. On the top tier you can place small pots with herbs such as parsley, dill, cilantro or basil. Now everything is at hand.
Corner sofas and kitchen islands can also be assembled with your own hands. Moreover, you can think of places to store kitchen utensils in them. Not only will no one have such furniture, but it will fully meet all your needs.
One of the very convenient moves in the kitchen is the use of magnetic tape. You can store knives on it, as well as spices in jars with metal lids. Great idea to save space on your kitchen counter.
And your favorite mugs can be hung on regular hooks. Both stylish and comfortable.
Who said that when we grow up, we part with our toys? There's no need to do that. You can use small figurines to decorate your interior. They will be able to find new life as magnets, stands, handles or anything else you come up with yourself.
It would seem that you can do with such an ordinary thing as a refrigerator. We all like to put notes on it with reminders. What if you write on the refrigerator itself, and with crayons? You just need to paint it all with special paint for chalkboards and enjoy. By the way, this technique works on any surface.
Yard and garden
When decorating your home, you shouldn’t forget about what’s outside. Let's start with the entrance area. From concrete blocks and a couple of wooden slats you can make a cute and comfortable table where flowers, a watering can, a lantern or anything else will live.
By the way, you can make various benches from concrete blocks, decorate flower beds, build a barbecue, and even make flower pots. It all depends on your imagination.
You can also make stylish ottomans and armchairs with your own hands. You need old tires, liquid nails and thick rope. The finished structure can be painted in any color. These ottomans are suitable for both indoors and outdoors, because they don’t mind rain.
Boxes or pallets made of wood can serve as the basis for a garden cabinet. Here you can store various flower accessories, pots, watering cans and other tools. And if you leave a flat work surface on top, you can make something or replant flowers.
What could be unusual in a flower pot? It would seem - nothing. However, here you can surprise everyone. Plant succulents in a birdcage. When they grow, it will be very beautiful. And instead of a regular hanging pot, you can use an old chandelier.
An ordinary children's inflatable pool can be used as a sofa. Just put a blanket or blanket inside and cover the sides with pillows.
It’s so beautiful to use candles in the garden, but they are constantly blown out by the wind. To prevent this from happening, you can make candlesticks from empty tin cans or ordinary glass ones. You can decorate everything with stones or ribbons if desired.
These, of course, are not all ideas for home and garden, only a small part of what you can do with your own hands. You just need to not be afraid to experiment and fill your home with cute and beautiful things.
To keep you in a great mood in any weather, make new things from available materials. Quick crafts that take less than an hour to make.
