Drainage for flowers
So that indoor flowers grow well and do not get sick, I cover the bottom of the pots with a net for vegetables. The mesh layer (compacted) is approximately 5 cm. Excess water drains off instantly. I recently replanted a grown dracaena. For 3 years, nothing happened to the mesh: it did not rot, did not crumble, it looks like new.
Advantages of using mesh for flower beds
- The mesh can take absolutely any shape.
- Seasonal soil movement does not pose a threat.
- Due to the filling with stones, the product has excellent water resistance.
- During installation, resources and time are saved.
- The strength of the flowerbed only increases over time.
- No special equipment is required.
- The natural landscape does not deteriorate.
- The flowerbed will serve you for many years.
- Properly executed flower beds do not require maintenance or repair.
Washing white socks
Washing white socks is not that easy. There is no point in loading them into the washing machine. I buy a special stain remover soap for them and wash them by hand. Works well in combination with a brush. But there is an even better way. You need to wrap the soap in a net and secure it with an elastic band for money. The mesh adds rigidity. No more need for a brush. With soap in a packaging net, I wash not only socks, but also collars and cuffs of shirts, armpits of T-shirts, work clothes, and children's tights.
Simple tulle flower
You can make beautiful accessories with your own hands. Hair ties decorated with flowers look very gentle. To make it you will need:
- a piece of satin ribbon 20 cm;
- tulle;
- scrunchy;
- needle, thread, scissors;
- big bead.
How to make a flower from tulle:
- The satin ribbon is folded in half and the middle is sewn together.
- 6 round parts are cut out of tulle and joined together, tightening the thread, in the shape of a flower.
- The core is decorated with a large bead.
- A piece of satin ribbon is sewn to the hair tie, and then a tulle flower.
This decoration can be used to create hairstyles for school or for the holidays.
Filling for toys and pillows
So I decided to wash an old toy – a soft bear – in the washing machine. When I took it out, I was horrified to discover that the bear had noticeably lost weight. All the filler has gone astray. Then I ripped it open along the seam, took out the old stuffing and threw it away. I stuffed the toy with a clean vegetable net. The bear was as good as new. My daughter didn’t notice anything (it’s her favorite toy). Did the same with old decorative pillows.

In landscape design
The mesh is useful for decorating the garden. This could be a fence or fence. The material itself is quite pliable, the mesh bends easily. You can make garden figures, arches, and pergolas from it. The mesh is easily attached to tree branches; all you need to do is use plastic clips or any other options.
The mesh makes excellent decorative fences. They can be filled or simply consist of a mesh. For filled ones, a frame is pre-made. It is upholstered with mesh, the interior space can be filled with large pebbles or any bulk material. Such fences are suitable for zoning a site.

Egg cutter
This idea is more of a joke. I saw it on the Internet. You need to wrap the boiled eggs (peeled) in a net and squeeze with force. The eggs will pass through the holes and come out in small pieces.
Holiday decor
A tulle flower will help you decorate your home for the occasion; a master class on how to make it is available to everyone. Buds suspended from the ceiling look very elegant and stylish. They can be created from tulle, paper, napkins and fabric.
What you will need to make such an unusual decoration:
- Threads.
- Fatin.
- Scissors.
- Stapler.
The manufacturing process is very simple. Many round parts of different diameters are cut from tulle. Then, several pieces at a time, to make the flower lush, connect the elements with a stapler in the middle. Straighten each layer with your hands, attach a rope and hang it from the ceiling at different levels.
This decoration is perfect for creating decorations for a birthday. In pink for girls, in blue for boys.
Protection from petty pranksters
Every year I grow several sunflowers for the children to eat. I remember how we loved to eat sunflower heads as a child. But not only children, but also sparrows are hungry for seeds. To save the harvest, I tie the heads of ripening sunflowers with a net. Not too tight. It scares the birds, and all the seeds remain intact. By autumn I will definitely be collecting the net. When frosts arrive, I tie it around the trunks of young apple trees. I have as many as 5 of them. Not a single hare mouse has been chewed yet. And the neighbor is in for a real attack! They gnawed the bark right down to the branches.
Decorative tree
To create such a luxurious look you will need a base. This could be the trunk of a dried tree (and you won’t have to uproot it). If such a tree is not in the right place, find it somewhere else and dig it in. Fix it securely in the soil. The lower part can be covered with crushed stone and even filled with cement mortar. We hang pots with wildly flowering plants (for example, petunia or sulfinia, etc.) on large tree branches.
Sieve
Last year it was necessary to sift sand at the dacha. My husband shot a potato mesh bag onto a wooden frame. Before that, I folded it in 4 layers and stretched it well. It turned out to be an excellent sieve. In the summer I prepare a green infusion in large bags. I fill the net with grass: nettle, comfrey, clover, wormwood, various weeds. I put it in a 50-liter barrel of water. To prevent the bag from sinking, I tie it to a stick, which I place across the barrel. After 2 weeks, I simply remove the mesh and the fertilizer is ready. There is no need to strain the infusion (go ahead, try straining 50 liters). How else can you use a vegetable net? In addition to the methods described above, there are several more. I think many people know about them. But just in case, I’ll also describe them.
Suddenly, someone thought about using grids for the first time:
- Storing onions, garlic, flower bulbs. If the mesh is intact, then you can continue to use it for its intended purpose. Vegetables do not rot in it and are stored well all winter.
- Washcloth. You need to cut a strip from the mesh. Roll the main part into a roll. Use a cut strip to tie a roll in the center. Or initially take two meshes - a larger one and a smaller one. Makes an excellent washcloth. It’s better for her not to wash the dishes, but buckets and garden tools are fine. I also like to use a washcloth to wash potatoes and carrots. It cleans dirt well from the recesses on the peel.
- Crafts. The vegetable net can be used for creativity. It is bright and voluminous. I've seen some parents use it for kindergarten crafts. You can make a Christmas tree from a green mesh, a pumpkin from an orange mesh, and flowers from a multi-colored mesh.

I am sure that the vegetable net can be used for other purposes. Every housewife has her own secrets. I decided to reveal them. It hurts to think that some people throw away such packaging. It rots for hundreds of years and pollutes our planet. If you don't need it, throw it in a plastic collection container. The material from which the nets are made is recycled. They then use it to make cheap buckets, scoops and other necessary things!
Supports for climbing plants
The original support for climbing flowers is made of wire. The work is no different. The main thing is to monitor the growing shoots and direct them to the butterfly’s wings in time.
Greetings to all craft lovers! Today we’ll talk about making decorative flowers from fabric.
, which have become very popular recently. Increasingly, they appear as decoration on a variety of things: bags, shoes, dresses, hats...
I will show you how you can make very cute flowers for decoration without spending a lot of time and effort. They can be made of different materials, but the main condition is that they are not friable, since the edges are not processed at all.
I decided to use a mesh, which makes the flowers very airy, light and translucent. Depending on the purpose, it will be necessary to select the appropriate fabric.

About the idea for decorating a fence in the following video:
Using plants
Landscaping a chain-link fence can be done in two ways. The first, faster one suggests using climbing plants; the specific cellular structure becomes an ideal support for them. The design of the fence is picturesque and serves as an independent decoration of the site; Some plants have a subtle aroma.
If you want quick results, choose low-maintenance annuals such as sweet peas or nasturtiums. Morning glory and kobea with bell flowers look romantic.

Perennials will not braid the fence so quickly. Wild (maiden) grapes and Chinese lemongrass form a beautiful green wall after a few years. Wild grapes are especially beautiful in the fall, when their foliage turns different shades of red.

Some perennials are characterized by accelerated growth, so to form a decorative wall they need to tie up rapidly lengthening shoots. Hops, honeysuckle and clematis fall into the category of fast-growing perennials.
