10 most unusual inventions of folk craftsmen (10 photos)

The main types of DIY crafts that can be made for use in the interior

All types of crafts with your own skillful hands, which are easy to do at home, can be divided into categories:

• furniture;
• textile;
• wall decor;
• carpets and floor coverings;
• dishes and kitchen utensils;
• decor and interior details;
• useful little things;
• storage systems;
• holiday decor;
• decor and crafts for the nursery.

And on balconies, verandas and loggias, old and unnecessary things are appropriate, which can be easily transformed with skillful hands into useful and beautiful, to make “something out of nothing.”

For example, you can make “rejuvenating apples” to decorate your balcony, which can easily be laid out on a beautiful dish, windowsill, or simply hung on a sanded branch that imitates wood:

We crumple the newspaper into a ball and wrap it with yarn.

We fasten the yarn.

We insert a twig and a leaf of an artificial rose deeper inside.

We start gluing 10 kopeck coins with a glue gun.

Cover the ball completely.

We paint with “gold”, “bronze” or “silver” spray paint, and then with a fixing varnish from a spray can.

We are adding “rejuvenating apples” to the interior of the balcony!

Everyone can make interior crafts; you don’t have to have skilled hands, everyone will find something they want! The variety of crafts techniques and materials is amazing: knitting, sewing, macrame, carpentry, casting, weaving, sculpting, woodworking, blacksmithing, etc. In addition, you can make any finishing materials by hand to make your home unique.

For example, the mosaic technique for crafts and inlays receives special attention. This can be purchased ready-made smalt, or broken tiles, pieces of wood, natural stones, glass and mirrors can be used. One of the most popular types of mosaic crafts, which are easy to make handmade, is inlaying the surfaces of tables and kitchen aprons.

Handicrafts are of great interest to various beautiful natural materials: twigs, roots, whole stumps or tree cuts, branches ground by the sea or the elements, vines, shells, feathers, stones, hides and skins, pumpkins, horns, pine cones, bark, etc. Thus, one of the most popular DIY crafts is a hanger made from a tree trunk with branches. An old branch or a whole trunk turns into a useful element of a corridor or room. Making such a thing is simple: sand it, varnish or paint it.

Well, knitting lovers are a whole army that defeats the rest of the inhabitants of the house and fills it with beautiful knitted rugs, blankets, baskets, ottomans, curtains and even hammocks. It is impossible to list all the crafts that needlewomen can make by knitting or crocheting! Although, people have learned to knit even with their bare hands: such popular blankets made from huge yarn cannot be knitted any other way.

DIY furniture: old to new, unusual details.

Yes, buying furniture is not a problem now; there are also interesting designer models. But they are very expensive, and the available furniture is very monotonous. Therefore, people try to introduce some kind of original element into their interior, to make it unique. Both old and new are used, but they are typical.

They make some furniture for the home themselves or remake purchased furniture that has lost its appearance or is boring. The simplest piece of furniture for this is a shelf, coffee table or ottoman.

The most popular furniture crafts are, of course, shelves and racks, and alterations are ready-made coffee tables and chests of drawers. Various shelves look very unusual and fresh, their shape imitating some geometric figure, some symbol or tree. Moreover, materials that are atypical for shelves and racks look especially interesting: ropes, glass, iron, sticks or slats, old things, craftsmen have figured out how to make even rubber shelves!

And what incredible beautiful options can be made from old trash or a simple basic Ikea chest of drawers! Creative painting, upholstery with fabric and replacement of handles - and, voila, a whole treasure trove, not a chest of drawers. They do the same with chests, turning them into pirate hiding places.

A table is always one of the most important objects in any interior. An unusual and stylish handmade table will certainly decorate your home. For example, one of the fairly simple alterations to perform, which is very eye-catching, is replacing table legs or even just one leg. An interesting, beautiful footstool made by yourself is a 100% guarantee of many years of visual pleasure from such a table.

You can make a stylish round coffee table from one sheet of chipboard or plywood. This is a craft for a new table. Simply cut out a circle with a jigsaw and two base rectangles, connect and paint the structure.

Cut out parts from plywood 1.3x2.5 m thick 1.8 - 2.2 cm:

• tabletop D 115 cm;
• two parts of the base 38x101.5 cm.

Sand the parts, assemble, paint and decorate the living room table!

Any furniture made by yourself is an abyss of imagination and creativity! What craftsmen can come up with to make such products from: plastic bottles, old tires, cardboard boxes, pillows, street signs, benches, bicycles, wheelbarrows, shovels, suitcases, used bathtubs, etc. That is, literally from anything. The motto “new is well-forgotten old” works completely in crafts.

Home textiles - traditional old crafts and innovative ideas

Sewing various beautiful interior items with your own hands is a tradition with a thousand-year history. The creation of textiles for the home is very diverse:

• curtains;
• screens;
• furniture covers;
• furniture;
• organizers;
• carpets;
• textile blankets and bedspreads;
• interior pillows;
• textile carpets;
• elements of hanging furniture;
• hammocks;

Of course, the main direction for do-it-yourself textile crafts is patchwork. With the help of patchwork, needlewomen create not just interior items, but entire masterpieces! Previously, the place for patchwork was only “on feather beds”: rugs, bedspreads, pillows, blankets. Now another application is more in demand - wall panels, carpets and patchwork paintings.

Curtains that can be made from torn shreds, ottomans and armchairs covered with a similar mosaic of fabric or leather, rope or jute rope look unusual. Textiles have also found a place among lamp refurbishments. Any old chandelier becomes a brilliant masterpiece with the help of ideas, inspiration and crazy hands!

If you need a DIY craft at home as a bright spot, then you can use scraps: we tear different types of cotton into strips and simply tie them to plant pots, lampshades, make curtains, garlands, or sew them onto tulle. Bohemian chic in our home!

Cookware and Kitchen Crafts - Techniques and Examples

Do-it-yourself dishes and crafts for the kitchen are finding more and more fans. Wood carving, decoupage, pottery, papier-mâché - this is not the entire list of techniques that are used to make crafts for the kitchen with your own hands. People again felt that handmade dishes had a completely different energy. Atypicality, uniqueness and beauty, skillful execution have become in demand again.

This is especially true for ceramic mugs and plates that are unusual in shape and color, as well as tea sets. Another popular direction for crafts is wooden utensils: all these carved spoons, wooden dishes and plates, glasses, coasters, cutting boards and other, in principle, traditional and well-known wooden kitchen utensils.

Craftsmen love to make wall clocks, chandeliers, aprons from unusual materials or products, panels with various spices, pasta, grains and cereals. Many kitchens are decorated with old bottles and crafts made from them. Some people make vases from them, others make chandeliers, panels, shelf parts, etc. A chandelier made from bottles is difficult only at first glance; skillful hands are not needed: now there are many ready-made lamps on sale with factory-made bottle shades. They can be completely remade by replacing the nondescript lampshades with old bottles and vases of different colors and shapes made of multi-colored glass. Old glass looks mysterious, and whiskey crafts will add a brutal loft character to the kitchen.

Crafts like wall panels look very stylish and are very simple to make. The kitchen or living room is an ideal place for such skillful art objects. They can really be made from anything:

• branches and sticks;
• cuts;
• slats, boards and bars;
• woven tapestries made of wool and yarn in the freeform style;
• from threads and nails;
• straw;
• metal;
• mosaics;
• thick paper and cardboard;
• stones, etc.

Only a small number of such homemade crafts look harmonious in the kitchen, because its space is usually very limited. Therefore, those who like to create brilliant masterpieces and crafts from scrap materials should limit themselves to the most important accents: a kitchen apron, a chandelier and walls. Crafts should stand out, not blend in, giving the impression of a museum, flea market, antiquities shop, rather than a home.

A wonderful craft that even a beginner can make using something old and unnecessary - wine corks! Such a panel for the home is easy to make even with less skilled hands:

Make a frame from planks 5-10 cm wide and attach the back surface from corrugated cardboard or hardboard. Paint the boards and glue the wine corks with a glue gun.

For stylization, you can use decoupage.

This panel can be hung on the wall as an organizer for small items or for notes.
