All denim strips are laid in a braided pattern. Each horizontal row is stitched (10 times in total). The resulting square is trimmed at the edges to make them smoother. In order for the craft to look neat, braid or lace is sewn around the perimeter. The unusual stand is ready!

In a shop for craftswomen
Interesting things with your own hands can be done using special material that is sold in any craft store. It can be yarn, a base for embroidery with a pattern, special paper, etc. This material is intended for practicing certain types of needlework: macrame, patchwork, decoupage, quilling, etc. Knowing the basics of work in this area, you can make unusual crafts. A master class of this kind is presented below.
Putting it together by shred
Interesting and very popular in recent times patchwork became a kind of needlework (translated from English it means “work with a patchwork”). Skillful needlewomen create real masterpieces of art from scraps of fabric: blankets, rugs, carpets and even curtains. In order for the work to be of really high quality, it is necessary to select fabrics that are similar in texture. It is also desirable that the pattern of the patches be in harmony with each other. It is necessary to cut pieces of fabric taking into account allowances - from 0.5 to 1 cm. Cutting of the material is carried out along the shared thread. Pre-wash and iron the fabric to prevent shrinkage. The material can only be traced with soap, pencil or chalk, but not with a pen - there is a risk of marks on the front of the product.
Blanket "Spring mood"
For manufacturing, you need to prepare:
- fabric in green, pink, yellow, orange and blue;
- soap, chalk or pencil, ruler;
- template - square 6 x 6 cm, rectangles 24 x 6 and 12 x 6 cm;
- scissors;
- sewing machine;
- a piece of fabric 111 x 83 cm (for the seamy part of the product);
- synthetic winterizer.
Prepare the fabric: wash, dry and iron. Lay out the prepared cardboard templates on the material. Cut out 12 pink, blue, green and yellow squares, not forgetting the 1 cm allowance. In addition, you will need 60 squares of the same size but different colors. You will use them to sew the blanket around the perimeter. Prepare 24 strips 24 cm long and 6 cm wide from different fabrics and 24 strips 12 cm wide of the same width.
We begin to sew: take 4 squares of 6 cm in different colors and sew them together. Then wash 4 strips of the same color around the perimeter of the resulting product: 2 short - on the sides, 2 long - above and below. Collect all the other squares in the same way. Sew the resulting products together. You should get 4 large squares in length and 3 in width.
The next step is to sew squares (set aside 60 pieces) around the perimeter of the blanket. The order of their arrangement by color depends entirely on your imagination. Now you need to sew a fabric 83 x 111 cm to the blanket (3 cm for an allowance). It is necessary to connect the 2 sides together with the front side inward. After you sew 3 sides, turn the product inside out and fill with padding polyester. Then carefully join the 4th edge (with a typewriter or by hand). A soft and beautiful blanket is ready!
In the same way, you can also throw blankets. Creative things (with your own hands), photos of which are presented in this article, bring warmth and comfort! Try them yourself.
Crafts ... from food
You can even make things for the house with your own hands from food: various cereals, pasta, dough and even sweets. With a little imagination, you can make paintings, pendants and even watches! Buckwheat or rice should be glued with PVA glue on a pre-prepared template. The groats can be painted - and the picture will sparkle with all colors. Introduce your child to work - this will help him develop fine motor skills of hands and creative thinking. In order to create, you can use coffee beans. You can also make other interesting things from this material with your own hands, for example, a gorgeous bonsai tree, which will delight you and those around you with its original look.
Piece of the East
To create a bonsai tree you will need:
- balloon;
- PVA glue;
- brown threads (slightly thicker than nylon);
- thick branch;
- flower pot;
- pebbles.
The balloon must be tightly wrapped with a thread soaked in glue, set aside. The workpiece must dry for at least 4-5 hours. Next, the balloon must be pierced and carefully removed. On the remaining base, planted on a harvested branch, you need to glue the coffee beans. The branch should be strengthened in a flower pot using pebbles. The beautiful tree is ready!

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 acquire such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or any other motif of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And more than once.
The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it is not too demanding in care: it is not afraid of moisture and can be easily cleaned. In this case, the master chose vinyl fabric. It is heavy and durable enough to look like a true rug. What's more, the quality of vinyl is very impressive these days and is available in a wide variety of colors and interesting textures.
All necessary materials and tools:
- Thick paper;
- Vinyl upholstery fabric;
- Scissors;
- 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.
Procedure:
- Create a stencil out of paper. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the drawing itself on it. Don't worry about your artistic talent - the skin of a zebra shouldn't look uniform or symmetrical. As a last resort, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed to cut.
- Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and trace the contours of the stripes with Krylon pens (spray paint or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue painting the areas inside the paths.
- Let the paint dry and you're done! To be more confident that the pattern will stick, you can “seal” the carpet by spraying a clear coat of acrylic spray paint on it.
Krylon handles create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and adheres very securely. 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 paintbrush, and two different shades of latex paint.
Finally, another inspiring example that uses an impromptu stamp instead of a stencil. The master had a rubber bath mat, remnants of wall paint (to achieve a vintage effect, it was slightly diluted with water), a roller and an old IKEA wool carpet. We look at the photo of what he managed to cook from these ingredients.

7. Turn photos into wall decor
It's so much cooler than just hanging your 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 apply any of the following methods.
- Find or buy a backing. It can be played by a thick sheet of polystyrene or expanded polystyrene (as in this case), a board and other materials at hand.
- Print a photo after editing 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, not a whole picture. Otherwise, skip this item.
- Place the photo on a substrate and wrap the ends. The author of this product used double-sided tape to secure the photographs. You can attach with regular glue or other available means. The surface of the photos can also be treated with glue or glitter paste.
- Print the image and prepare the canvas to transfer it to.
- Stretch the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of medium gel to it. These gels are widespread and can be purchased at any home furnishing store today.
- Blend the photo onto the blurred canvas and press down. Leave it for several hours, but periodically sprinkle with water from a spray bottle.
- Carefully, using your fingertips, begin to erase the back surface of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.
The result is a handsome, frayed look that will only give it a vintage look. It remains only to apply the last layer of the medium gel to it as a protective coating.
