“Working on beautiful home decor with your own hands is always associated with certain difficulties, but the results make you forget about the efforts spent on overcoming them and fully enjoy the effect”

Decor plays an important role in interior design, but you cannot mindlessly fill the space with it. When choosing options for decorative accessories, you need to take into account the functionality of the room. So you can’t fill the living room with frivolous decorations such as wicker baskets, amulets, panels with fruit still lifes. Agree, it is much more appropriate to use these crafts to decorate the kitchen at home with your own hands, rather than rooms for receiving guests. How can you add mood to the room? Of course, with decorative pillows that are highly aesthetic.

Home decor should be in harmony with the overall interior style

DIY pillow

To fit a pillow into the interior, you will need to make it either in a contrasting solution, or use colors and prints already available in the room. You can sew a sofa version of a pillow from any quality material, the main thing is that it does not fade, holds its shape well and does not provoke allergic reactions. You should use foam rubber or silicone as a filler.

Bright pillows will enliven any interior

What makes a hand-sewn pillow a beautiful home decor? Of course, an unusual shape. For a classic setting, geometric shapes are the most popular. Pillows should be given square and round shapes, as well as the shape of elongated rectangles. But a cheerful patchwork would look great in country. You can put soft hearts on the sofa in a romantic living room. Abstract forms are revered in Art Nouveau. Look at the photo for ideas for DIY home decor shapes.

The tailoring itself is traditional. We cut out the pillowcase according to the invented pattern. We sew along the seams. Fill with filler and you're done.

Decor for children's room

Children gravitate towards bright things with a design that is understandable to them, so experts give the leading role in the decor of their rooms to toys. By the way, the owners of the premises themselves can be involved in their creation, so the process of creating home decor with your own hands will turn into a most exciting activity. Decide with your child what exactly you will sew, do it yourself or find a character pattern on the Internet and get down to business. Collect the silhouette and stuff the toy with padding polyester. If you need to make a face, you can use buttons. It can be drawn or embroidered, and you can also make eyes, lips, and nose with appliqué.

Kitchen decor

There is a kitchen, but there is no opportunity to renovate it? No problem. New decor will help change the mood in the room and make the atmosphere more pleasant. The most noticeable change in the interior will be the appearance of decorations on the walls. Working on beautiful home decor with your own hands is always fraught with certain difficulties, but the results make you forget about the efforts spent on overcoming them and fully enjoy the effect.

Wall decor will transform the kitchen

Painting is considered the best wall decoration. The drawing can be applied using a stencil or you can show your artistic talents live. Thus, it is rational to decorate only plain surfaces that do not have texture.

Decorative dishes on the walls

A good solution would be wall panels, and they can appear not only in the work area.

And, of course, the kitchen cannot do without such little things as decorative jars for spices and hand-embroidered towels, napkins, and tablecloths.

Cardboard box

Everyone has a small box of chocolate bars, tea or other items at home. From such a thing you can make a box with your own hands for jewelry, threads and needles, small office supplies... One of the simple and quick options is to cover a cardboard box with a rope. You just need to prepare the materials:

• a cardboard box about 20 by 15 cm, so that its lid opens upward;
• tourniquet;
• glue gun and rods for it;
• for decoration you can take: coffee beans, decorative stones, seashells, multi-colored buttons...

Heat the glue gun well, tightly glue the base and lid of the box with a rope in 2-3 layers. Do not apply a lot of glue so that threads do not appear, and also fit the rows of the rope tightly so that there are no gaps.

When the entire box is well wrapped with a tourniquet, let it stand for a while. Then decorate with decorative elements of your own choosing.

You can also glue felt or corrugated paper inside the box, or you can leave it as is.

Useful crafts for the garage

Not so long ago, for many car owners, the garage was not only a place to store a vehicle, but also served as a repair shop and they spent a lot of time in it.

The high-quality and convenient arrangement of this place occupied the minds of a huge number of car owners, which ultimately led to almost as many different homemade products for the garage.

In a small garage area, the owner needs to compactly arrange a large number of tools and other auxiliary things so that their storage is safe and access at any time is convenient and quick.

People who keep up with the times and love to arrange their garage often think about how to make a useful craft and end up coming up with clever ways using modern invention technologies.

One of the basic safety rules when arranging a garage is the presence of a comfortable entrance and exit from this room and the absence of obstacles along the way.

Tips for sewing toys from socks

It is better to take children's or women's socks as a basis; their texture and color scheme are better than those of men's. It is better to use padding polyester for filling. Cotton wool is not practical, it quickly clumps and the toy loses its shape. Fill the toys not very tightly, but evenly. It is better to use Chinese chopsticks or wooden skewers.

Use knitted socks, they have better stretch, and it will be easier to create the necessary shapes for the toy.

Wisdom and imagination are good helpers when creating crafts

If you have the desire and patience, as well as a little acumen, then almost every owner of a garage space will be able to equip it.

You need to understand and be attuned to the fact that this is a labor-intensive and relatively time-consuming process.

Floor mat made from old towels

Housewives often “re-qualify” towels that are unsuitable for use after bathing procedures as rags, take them to their dachas, or simply throw them away. We propose to give them a chance to prove themselves as a necessary element within the same bathroom, only as a soft rug.

Large towels should be cut into long strips. It is advisable that they be of different colors, then the rug will turn out to be more colorful. So, we take three strips each and weave them into braids, securing them with pins or hairpins for convenience. When everything is ready, we begin to roll the blanks into a circle, stitching them with threads for reliability. We remove the pins from the finished rug and place it in the bathroom.
