Buttons with two holes
2 black buttons with a diameter of 0.5 cm
3 red buttons with a diameter of 0.4 cv
Cotton ball with a diameter of 4 cm
Insulated wire 1 mm thick
Multicolored felt
Yellow and bright red pad paint
Black marker

1. For the torso, “bite off” a wire 20 cm long with wire cutters. Bend one end into a loop and twist it. The head will be attached to it.
2. Cut out 10-15 circles with a diameter of 3-4 cm from felt. Make a hole in the middle with a needle. String felt circles and buttons on the wire in a multi-colored sequence.
3. When you reach the desired length of the torso, pass the wire through the second hole of the last button and twist.
4. For the paws, 5 pieces of wire about 10 cm long are needed. String small buttons on the wire, leaving 3 cm at the ends. Pass the ends of the wire into the second hole of the last buttons and glue.
5. Bend the legs in half and wrap them tightly around the body with wire cutters. Spread the legs at an equal distance from each other to avoid warping and sagging. Make sure that the wire-paws do not move between the buttons of the body, otherwise the wire of the body will be visible.
6. To make the head, dye a cotton ball yellow. After the paint dries, make two holes for the antennae in the ball and glue pieces of wire 2 cm long into them with universal glue. String a button on the ends of the wire, twist the wire.
7. Glue 2 small black buttons on the head - eyes and red - nose. Draw the mouth and cheeks with red paint, apply highlights to the eyes with white paint.
8. Make a hole at the back of the head. Insert the twisted loop of the torso into this hole and glue it with universal glue.
Someone will certainly take a look at this collection of ideas and say that it is easier to buy new furniture or decor. But this article is not for them, but only for true connoisseurs of the unique style and handicrafts. Here you will find the 10 most beautiful interior items that you can do for your home without spending extra money.
The best crafts for the home with your own hands from improvised materials for 2018!
1. Decoupage and other do-it-yourself furniture repair ideas
Restoration of old chests of drawers and sideboards is perhaps one of the main trends of our time. Many pieces of furniture fail over time: tables and chairs loosen their bodies, upholstered furniture is pressed through and requires a new “stuffing”. But chests of drawers and sideboards can stand for themselves for many years and annoy you with their outdated appearance.
Home needleworkers and decoupage masters have not only found a way to update the design of old furniture, but have also created a fashion for the use of vintage “grandmother's” chests of drawers in the interior. You will find detailed instructions for painting and decoupage in our article. .
Below are some photos of amazing home projects to inspire you.

As a result, the furniture acquired an original Moroccan-style decor effect. Simple, like all ingenious: 
By the way, in this way you can create more sophisticated things for the home:
Decoupage and painting amazingly transform old furniture facades, but not every person has enough time and patience for this painstaking task. Therefore, the best DIY home ideas also include refurbishing furniture with duct tape in marble, gold, and other unusual finishes. A minimum of effort - and the most ordinary piece of furniture will turn into the main decoration of your interior.
2. Beautiful things for the home with your own hands: carpets
Perhaps the most pleasant thing about creating things for the house with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you get such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or other motif of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And not once.
The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it should not be too demanding in care: it is not afraid of moisture and is easy to clean. In this case, the master chose the vinyl fabric. It is heavy and strong enough to look like a true carpet. What's more, the quality of vinyl these days is very impressive, and it's available in a wide variety of colors and interesting textures.
All necessary materials and tools:
- Thick paper;
- Vinyl upholstery;
- Scissors;
- 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.
Procedure:
- Create a paper stencil. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the drawing itself on it. Do not worry about your artistic talent - the skin of a zebra and should not look uniform or symmetrical. In extreme cases, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed out to cut out.
- Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and outline the stripes with Krylon pens (spray or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue to paint the areas inside the contours.
- Let the paint dry and you're done! To be sure the pattern will hold, you can "seal" the carpet by spraying a clear coat of acrylic spray paint over it.
Krylon handles create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and is very securely held. If you cannot buy them in your city, then use ordinary paint for fabrics or walls. As the next hero of our article.
He took a cheap white rug as a basis and decided to give it an interesting look with his own hands using a chevron pattern. All he needed was thin duct tape, scissors, a thick brush, and two different shades of latex paint.
Finally, another inspiring example where a makeshift stamp is used instead of a stencil. The craftsman had a rubber bath mat, leftover wall paint (which had been slightly thinned with water for a vintage effect), a roller, and an old IKEA wool rug. We look at the photo that he managed to cook from these ingredients.
3. Unusual "marble" DIY crafts (photo)
7. Turn photos into wall decor
This is much cooler than just hanging photos in frames! Your personal photos or any images you like from the internet can turn into beautiful wall art for any room. To make such a decor with your own hands, you can use any of the following methods.
- Find or buy a substrate. A thick sheet of polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam (as in this case), a board and other improvised materials can act as it.
- Print the photo, having previously edited its dimensions so that they are about 5 cm larger than the substrate. These "extra" centimeters will go to the folds.
- Cut the photo and backing into pieces if you want a modular set rather than the whole picture. Otherwise, skip this item.
- Overlay the photo on the substrate and wrap the ends. The author of this product used double-sided adhesive tape to secure the photos. You can mount with ordinary glue or other available means. The very surface of the photographs can also be treated with glue or gloss paste.
- Print the image and prepare the canvas to which it will be transferred.
- Pull the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of medium gel on it. These gels are widely available and today you can buy them in any store of finishing materials.
- Place the photo on the oiled canvas and press down. Leave it like this for several hours, but periodically sprinkle with water from a spray bottle.
- Carefully, use your fingertips to start erasing the back of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.
As a result, you will get a beautiful one with scuffs that will only give it a touch of vintage style. It remains only to apply the last layer of medium gel on it as a protective coating.
For inspiration, here are a couple more ways to decorate your interior with a photo.
We use an old window frame as a photo frame. How do you like the idea?

9. Succulents - do-it-yourself living home decor
A succulent living wall is perhaps the most amazing DIY craft you can make for your home. Agree: if you saw it in someone's design of a living room or another room, you would not be able to remain indifferent!
Dekorin will tell you how to get such an impressive and sustainable decor:
- You will need a shallow wooden container for planting and a metal mesh.
- To fix the mesh on the container, use an impromptu wooden frame, which can be made from small boards or chips. Attach to staples or nails.
- Prepare any for composition. They easily take root in the most difficult conditions and look best when you combine different shades and shapes of leaves. Common examples of succulents: aloe, various cacti, young or stone rose (Sempervivum), stonecrop (Sedum), mountain grate (Orostachys), etc.
- Fill the container with soil and plant your chosen plants in it. Use any cactus mix for drainage.

I love to create stylish and unusual things. The best sources for inspiration are fairs of craftsmen and various exhibitions of folk art. But at the same time, I never bypass flea markets and small shops with small things! It is there that it is easy to find an unsightly trinket that, with just scissors and glue, can be turned into a magical thing.
Once upon a time in an expensive store designer decor I saw the clock. Immediately noticed an unusual dial! I really wanted to buy these, but the desire disappeared instantly when I looked at the price tag. The watch was so beautiful that on the same day I made the same one. And I didn’t have to buy anything, I had a book and an old alarm clock, and it took very little time - just one hour!
Since that moment, I have gathered a large collection of accessories and decor items that were made from improvised means in a minimum of time. Simple DIY crafts will always come in handy if you need an original gift and want to spend time usefully.
Easy DIY crafts

- Clock in a book
Even an inexperienced master can make such original watches. If there is no drill, pierce the hole with a nail using a hammer. The main difficulty lies in precisely assembling and fixing the clockwork well. To prevent the book from falling apart, glue the pages or make a fastener on the cover.
See what clock can be made from different books.
- Tin case
A great idea to please a lover of a certain brand of beer or soda. All you need is a sharp knife, maximum care and a little patience.
- Stands for knives
This is the only way to store knives in my kitchen. Very comfortable and stylish, and bamboo sticks can be replaced with beans, corn or colorful pasta. Even a couple of old books will do just fine!
- Stylish notepad
When there are no ideas for a gift, in just one hour you can make an expensive notebook. You will need good thread and clean paper. Simply cut out the desired sheets, fold in half and sew in two places along with the leather cover. The clasp can be made to your liking.
- Leather little things
I always ask relatives not to throw away old leather coats and jackets. So many accessories can be made from pieces of leather! And it is not necessary to sew at all, the maximum is to put a couple of rivets. Pay attention to the Japanese bag below in the picture, a very original solution!
- Bright sweatshirt
No one is immune from accidental stains on their favorite things. But do not rush to throw them away, watercolor paints will make clothes a work of art. And you don't have to be an artist to do it. Just do not forget to put thick cardboard or oilcloth inside the product so that the pattern does not go to the back.

Bright cotton raglan will make a great neck accessory.

A boring T-shirt can always be made stylish. Sew to it a small pocket of fabric with a beautiful pattern. I love the cat idea, do you?
- T-shirt with a hole
If your favorite thing is torn in the most visible place, it can always be saved. Use a bright fabric to distract attention, the result will surprise you!
- Towel hanger
This item, necessary in every home, is not cheap, and it is very difficult to find a comfortable and stylish one. If minimalism is your style, a beautifully bent rod made of brass, aluminum or any other metal alloy will completely replace such a hanger. Heat the folds over the gas burner and bend them, wearing thick gloves on your hands.
- Jewelry for girls
My daughter only wears these rainbow springs to school! These jewelry are durable, strong and your girlfriends will definitely not have such jewelry. Just wind satin or rep ribbons around wooden sticks, heat for 10 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees and let cool. Don't forget to melt the edges so the tape doesn't fray. Glue the tapes to the clip or any convenient elastic band!
