And the process of its creation is not complicated. Let's look at it in more detail.

Key hanger

Surely, many people are familiar with the situation when they have to raise the whole family to look for keys. After all, people often do not burden themselves with buying special small shelves for storing keys and other small things.

And since the key is a fairly small item, it is easy to lose it among larger things. To avoid having to constantly look for keys, many people keep them in their purses.

However, we can offer you a more interesting and original storage method. And for this we will build a key holder.

Its main feature is that in appearance it will resemble a product decorated with brickwork.

We will tell you step by step how to make a craft in the form of a key holder from available materials. But first, let’s look at exactly what tools and materials will be needed to create it: a thick sheet of cardboard or plywood, thick napkins, hooks, glue, varnish, paints.

Stages of performing a key holder

At the first stage, you need to cut out the back wall of the future key holder. As a material, you can use either thick cardboard or a not too thick piece of plywood.

In the second stage, you should cut out small rectangles from cardboard that will imitate brick. Please note that they must be the same size.

In the third step, you must glue the cut out “bricks” to the base using glue. Remember that there should be a small gap between them. You should also not cover the entire surface of the product with them. After all, in the central part there should be a small sign with an inscription, and in the upper part there should be a picture.

Note!

At the fourth stage, you should start lubricating the bricks with glue. Do not skimp on the glue at this stage, because it is necessary so that you can place the crumpled napkin on top of it. It can also be covered with a small layer of glue on top for better impregnation.

Using a stick or the back of a brush, press the tissue into the gaps to create corners. Leave the product to dry.

Please note that any crafts made from improvised materials at home must be durable. Therefore, we strongly recommend not to skimp on binding materials.

At the fifth stage, the process of creating a visual resemblance to the natural one begins. brickwork. Once the panel is dry, coat it with paint. The seams must be painted with bronze paint.

At the sixth stage, you should coat the bricks with paint a second time. However, this time you need to use a dry brush. To do this, dip it in bronze masonry, wipe it on paper so that it becomes dry and then dip it again in the color with which you painted the bricks.

Note!

Remember that to achieve maximum similarity, you should only move the brush in one direction.

At the seventh stage, which is the final one, you should coat the finished product with clear varnish and attach the hooks on which the keys will hang.

Crafts for the garden

If you are the owner country house, then for you the decorating process is not limited only to the area of ​​your home. Therefore, to improve the area around the house you should use garden crafts from improvised means that will decorate any garden or vegetable garden.

Crafts made from tires are extremely popular because they are quite simple to create, but at the same time they look original and interesting.

Note!

For example, you can create a real cup from tires, which will become a wonderful flower garden. To create it you will need one tire, a round board (the diameter of the board should be larger than the tire), paint, and a small piece of rubber.

The tire and board must be painted the color you like. If you have artistic skills, you can use them to decorate the product with beautiful images.

The jars may be the same or not, this is not very important here. An important element This is where the handles come out. These are furniture handles.

Serving napkins

Great idea! I talked about such exquisite home decoration in a 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.

From the cord

The pleasant natural color of cotton cord is a favorite material for DIY crafts. Flowerpots 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.

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

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. In the technique of real, academic patchwork, special attention is paid to the selection of fabrics. They even sell sets. But there are no restrictions in this technique and it is easy to do.

But there are also options for this technique in the living room. Decorative pillows for beauty, comfort and as a connecting 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 is such a nice and beautiful idea for a nursery.

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 negative energy 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 using creative process both kids and adults.

Friends, decorating your home with your own hands is a pleasant thing when ideas have been formed and all that remains is to select materials and tools for crafts. When your soul is rushing and you want both this and that, there is no need to rush. I hope this article helped you decide, or at least was simply useful.
