Nothing brings joy to the house like a thing created by oneself. Indeed, various homemade products for the home not only fill life with bright colors, but also give the interior a uniqueness and some kind of zest. And it is certainly impossible to forget about such a thing (even if it is a small trinket). And it’s not so important that these are homemade wood products for the home, paper or plasticine. There are millions of options and methods for making various gizmos, and today we will consider a few of them. So, how to make interesting homemade crafts for the home?
Shelf of tin cans
It would seem that such a trifle - a jar of coffee. However, even from it you can make a beautiful, convenient and useful shelf for storing household items. Often, various souvenirs and memorable photographs are stored in such containers. There is little practical use for this homemade product, but such jars look very harmonious.
Details on how to make this craft
1. First, holes are punched in jars with a drill or with a special ripper (in the upper and lower - 3 each, and in the walls of all the others - 2 points each).
2. Next, the jars are fastened together. Small nuts and screws are used as fasteners. By the way, to get the desired (beautiful) result, you will need to have at least 5-6 of these jars.
3. After that, a hole for the screws is punched in the containers. In the bottom of the jars located in the upper part of the structure, 1-2 holes are made to attach the shelf to the wall. The finished homemade is screwed with a screwdriver or screwdriver. For this, dowels are driven into the wall first.
Everything, now homemade products for the home are being put into action. Be sure - various trifles in such jars will definitely not get lost. Thus, you kill two birds with one stone - decorate the interior and get rid of the mess in the house.
DIY for home - how to make a clock on a CD / DVD?
A clock on a CD is also a very interesting and original option for interior decoration.
As you can see, the design of this device is very original, and therefore it will look organically against the background of any interior (perhaps it will become its highlight). Such "smart" homemade products for the home are made in a matter of minutes. We will tell you more about all the stages below.
So, how to make a homemade clock with your own hands? To begin with, you will need to prepare the appropriate materials - a CD / DVD CD (you choose the design of its front part at your discretion) and a cover-case for it (the distance between the walls should be at least 0.05 centimeters). It is very important that the last part does not have any chips or scratches. To facilitate the work, you can purchase a ready-made watch and then simply replace the standard dial.
It must be arrow, otherwise it will not work to make a homemade product. You should also make numbers. There should be twelve of them in total. It can be cardboard, paper or plastic circles. Their thickness should not exceed two millimeters. Rhinestones can be used as decorations. You also need to prepare about 30-40 centimeters of wire, a piece of leather or fabric and Moment-type superglue. The basis of this whole structure will be a CD-ROM. We will remake it in the first place.
First you need to mark the disk into twelve equal parts and stick numbers on the marked points. In this case, the sectors should not go beyond the outer diameter of the device. How are homemade products made for the home? After the sectors, we proceed to the clock itself - remove the arrows and place them exactly in the center of our disk. By the way, before fixing them, you can stick some interesting photo on the disk, which will make the design of the watch even more original.
To increase the size of the arrows, use thin metal strips. To achieve the desired result, it is enough to apply glue to them and carefully position the part evenly over the entire surface of the leading elements. The very same mechanism of the arrows is attached to the reverse side of the disk.
What to do next?
So, the base of the clock is almost ready. The next step is to make holes in the device along the contour of the arrow mechanism. The box of this disc is installed in a case. The mechanism itself is brought out through the hole and tightly closed. Now, with the help of a wire, an emphasis is made, which is glued to the back cover. To make it more durable, glue a piece of fabric or leather on top of it. This will make the emphasis not only strong, but also beautiful, since the excess part of the wire no longer gapes on the clock as before. Everything, a homemade watch from a CD is successfully made. It remains only to insert an AA battery and set the time. By the way, you can also make a battery with your own hands.
How to make a source of energy from a lemon?
As we know, this fruit contains a lot of acid, respectively, with the right actions, a lemon can be turned into a real mini-battery.
Of course, the charge from such a “battery” is not enough for the operation of household appliances, however, this current is quite enough for the functioning or charging of a mobile phone.
We make homemade products for the home - preparing tools to turn a lemon into a source of constant energy
During the work, you will need tools such as a knife, a soldering iron, a drill, an iron pin, as well as several pieces of copper wire in insulation. Among other items, it should be noted the need for one glass or glass, a pair of wooden sticks and the same number of push pins. And, of course, the lemon will be our main source of energy. You can also use an orange, but there is much less acid in it, so the charge from it will be minimal.
Instruction
First, cut the lemon in half. This is necessary so that he gives more acid, which is necessary for the lemon to be fixed in the glass so that it does not roll around on the table. Further, copper and iron pins are inserted into its pulp around the entire perimeter at a distance of 0.5-1 centimeter. "Minus" we will have iron, and "plus" - copper.
Pieces of wire are attached to all pins with a soldering iron. They will act as a connector for the power supply. All elements are connected in series.
At the final stage, sticks are inserted into the battery compartment. Polarity is important here. Contacts are pressed against the contact group. The container remains open throughout the entire process of charging the device.
So, we figured out how to make useful homemade crafts for the home with our own hands. Good luck in your endeavors!
A summer cottage is the territory where you can give yourself the freedom to conduct numerous experiments and dream up plenty. This is manifested not only in interior design, but mainly in the design of the garden or vegetable garden. Inquisitive and resourceful owners have not been guided by expensive and standard methods for arranging their sites for a long time, since there are many alternative solutions for virtually all areas of activity.
There are several varieties of vertical beds that allow you to optimize the use of free space. Custom designs - a great opportunity to create an interesting design of the garden, vegetable garden, summer cottage.
This type of beds is in most cases used for growing ornamental plants or herbs.
Materials for manufacturing:
The length of the drainpipes is adjustable in accordance with the wishes of the owner of the site. However, bulky beds should not be made, as they can complicate movement around the territory.
Creating a bed
Stage 1. Create a container. To do this, we take a drainpipe, cut it in two lengthwise and put on special plugs on both sides.
Stage 2. We take the prepared metal holders, put them on the resulting frames for the beds.
Stage 3. We make holes in the pipe. They are made in those places where there will be metal fasteners.
Stage 4. We pass a cable or a strong rope through the holes made.
Stage 5. We fix the cable / rope with fasteners.
Stage 6. We fill the resulting beds with expanded clay and soil.
Stage 7. We plant plants in the beds.
Stage 8. We hang pipes to the chosen place. Sometimes a special wooden crossbar is placed for this, more precisely, a design in the shape of the letter “P”.
Step 9. Alternatively, you can make a special design for the pipes.
Important! A drainpipe bed is not resistant to strong gusty winds, so you should choose a place for it that is not blown from four sides by winds. Otherwise, the frame will quickly collapse, nullifying all your efforts.
A bed made from a plastic bag is another modification of vertical beds. It is extremely compact, functional and interesting in appearance. You can make such a bed in a couple of hours.
Materials for manufacturing:
- durable polyethylene film;
- sewing machine;
- priming;
- seedling.
In order for the bed to turn out to be strong, it is recommended to pay special attention to the thickness of the plastic film, which in this case will act as the "frame" of the structure. The minimum film thickness is 0.2 mm.
The process of creating a polyethylene bed
Step 1 . We cut out 2 rectangular pieces of film, the size of which corresponds to the size of the created beds. An allowance of one and a half to two centimeters should be left on each side. The recommended diameter of the beds is twenty centimeters.
Step 2. Sew the rectangles together, leaving only the top of the bag unconnected.
Step 3. We sew a handle to the future bed, the strength of which will withstand the weight of the bag filled with soil. It should also be noted that when watering, the weight will increase.
Step 4. Fill the bag with fertilized soil.
Step 5. We make horizontal cuts on the bag in increments of twenty centimeters. They are necessary in order to plant seedlings in the garden.
Step 6. We plant seedlings.
Step 7. Water the soil regularly and add the necessary fertilizers.
With these simple steps, you can get a cheap and useful garden bed.
An integral element of each suburban area is a compost heap. This is the place where all kinds of biochemical reactions take place that ensure the creation of fertilizers.
To create fertilizers that will satisfy all the requirements for them, several key steps should be carefully considered: creating a container and directly making the compost itself correctly. Let's talk about each of them in more detail.
Stage 1. We take eight supporting posts of the same length.
Stage 2. We process the lower part of the wooden posts with engine oil or tar.
Stage 3. We dig the posts into the ground so that they are reliable and stable. If the compost bin is located next to the fence, then 4 posts (that is, one side) can be attached to the fence. This will avoid having to dig 4 holes.
Stage 4. Between each two adjacent columns we nail the crossbars in such a way that in the end we get three independent sections. Be sure to leave gaps that will serve as ventilation holes.
Stage 5. In two sections, horizontally nail the boards to half the height of the pillars. In these places, it is planned to create two small doors.
Stage 6. There will be a large door in the remaining section, so only one board should be nailed. It should be located at the very bottom in a horizontal position, that is, like a regular crossbar.
Stage 7. Install the covers. To do this, you can use one large solid board.
Stage 8. We install the doors prepared in advance.
Stage 9. We provide doors with handles and latches.
Stage 10. We process wood using special impregnations.
Stage 11. We paint the box in any color that matches the preferences.
Many gardeners mistakenly believe that any components can be dumped into the compost heap. In fact, in order to create the right biofertilizer, the “ingredients” must be carefully selected.
Among the mandatory components of the compost heap are the following components:
- peat;
- ash;
- needles;
- tree branches;
- leaves;
- hay or grass;
- wood ash;
- plant roots;
- raw vegetables and fruits, etc.
All elements are randomly mixed in the heap. To speed up chemical reactions, it is recommended to cover the pile with a tarp (this is especially true in the absence of a box).
Trips to the country with the family suggest the presence of entertainment elements on the site that will delight children. The most common way to occupy young summer residents is a swing.
Building a swing yourself is not an easy task, but quite doable. Of course, you can always take a stick, tie it with a rope and hang the structure on a tree, but this can hardly be called a full-fledged swing. Real craftsmen prefer to build comfortable structures with a comfortable seating area.
Structural components:
- two logs;
- strong rope.
Indicators:
- log diameter - 85 mm;
- log length - 700 mm;
- the distance between the ropes is 500 mm.
Making a swing
Stage 1. We stretch the ropes between the logs.
Stage 2. We wrap each log with ropes.
Stage 3. We release the ropes out.
Stage 4. We tighten the ropes by 3 knots.
Stage 5. We fix the swing on the tree.
Important: such a swing is designed for only one person.
Garden path from improvised materials
There are several types of garden paths that you can easily do with your own hands.
Step 1. Remove the sidewall from the tire using a knife or saw.
Step 2. Cut the tires.
Step 3. We line the space with corrugated stripes.
Step 4. Paint the track with paint.
Step 5. Sprinkle with stone chips.
This is an economical option for those who do not want to rack their brains and spend time on a full-fledged garden path. Tire track is usually used for vegetable gardens, as it easily fits into the ground.
Stage 1. We paint the corks in different colors.
Stage 2. We dig a small trench.
Stage 3. We drive in supports to strengthen the future track.
Stage 4. We construct formwork using boards.
Stage 5. We install spacers along the edges of the trench.
Stage 6. We place crushed stone deep into the trench and carefully tamp it down.
Stage 7. We make a solution of sand, cement, glue and water.
Stage 8. Pour the solution into the trench.
Stage 9. We press the plugs in random order. Smooth multi-colored stripes look interesting.
These are the easiest and fastest ways to make a garden path without purchasing expensive materials.
DIY tools
The expression “everything will come in handy on the farm” turns out to be as relevant as possible when it comes to canisters. From this plastic container, you can make a large number of indispensable tools that are actively used in the process of country work.
To make this tool, we only need a sharp knife and a container directly.
Stage 1. Cut off the bottom of the canister.
Stage 2. We mark the cut line for the scoop on the container so that the handle from the canister is the handle of the future tool.
Stage 3. Cut off excess material.
As a result of these simple steps, we get an excellent scoop with a comfortable handle.
Materials:
Manufacturing
Step 1. Thoroughly wash the canister so that no odor remains in it.
Stage 2. We cut the canister vertically into two parts.
Stage 3. We make a groove on the plank using a woodworking machine.
Stage 4. We apply glue to the plywood and insert it into the bottom of the canister.
Stage 5. We paint the resulting shelf with a can.
Of course, this design will not withstand a lot of weight, but it is quite suitable for storing small parts.
Materials:
- 40 canisters;
- scissors;
- rope;
- paper;
- marker.
Stage 1. We pierce the top of the cans with a knife.
Stage 2. We make a stencil out of paper.
Stage 3. We apply it to the canister, circle it with a marker.
Stage 4. Cut out large holes with scissors.
Stage 5. We put the prepared canisters in several rows, tying each row by hooking the rope under the handles of the containers.
Stage 6. We tie the entire rows around the perimeter for greater strength.
Stage 7. If the cabinet is planned to be leaned against the wall, then we drill it to the surface.
Stage 8. We put heavy objects in the bottom row - stones or bricks.
The result is a fairly roomy and functional rack that will help get rid of the issue of storing many small parts.
Be resourceful and bold in implementing your ideas. Good luck!

Every hostess and owner wants to make their home beautiful and comfortable. This article contains a variety of ideas for the home, which allow you to achieve this result with a small investment of time, money and effort.
We decorate the walls
Recently, walls painted or pasted over with plain wallpaper have become very popular. Yes, they serve as a great backdrop for accessories, furniture, etc. But large empty spaces require some additions. How to decorate an empty wall? There are many ways, you just need to choose the right one.
Maps on the walls
An extremely simple and very effective home idea that helps solve the problem of empty walls is to stick a geographical map. It is not suitable for every room and not for every interior, but for a children's room, study, balcony or loggia, and in some cases even for a bedroom or living room, you can find options. It is important to choose the right map for the interior, and there are not only “ordinary” ones - geographical ones. There are vintage, navigational, stylized, etc.
Where can you find such cards? Geographic maps can be found in bookstores or stationery stores. You will not find stylized or vintage ones there. Some options can be found in wallpaper stores. There they are in the form of photo wallpapers. There are many different ones on Aliexpress, beloved by many, you can search in other online stores. But there is another option: find the card you like on the Internet, save it to a medium and print it out in a company that deals with outdoor advertising. The only requirement is a large card format. They, of course, will be able to increase it, but not to infinity. So the original image should be of high quality and large.
Making modular paintings
The idea for a home - paintings and photos on the walls - is not new and many are fed up. Yes, this is a classic, but I want something new and unusual. One of the options is modular paintings. This is one image, divided into a different number of fragments. Fragments can be different in size or the same. Often these "pieces of images" are called "modules", hence the name "modular picture".
As an object, you can take any poster, poster, photo wallpaper. You can, again, print the image you like at an advertising agency. In this case, you can even take your photo or close friends, your favorite landscape, etc. Based on the composition of the drawing, it is divided into several parts, cut. Frames are made for fragments. The dimensions of the frames should be 3-5 cm smaller than the fragments so that the module can be wrapped and fixed on the back side.
Nature is one of the most popular motifs The setting sun on the sea — what could be more romantic Beach, sun, summer… 
And again flowers ... Symmetrical splitting is also possible Fantasy - an option for teenagers 
Frames can be made from wooden planks, covered with thin plywood or fiberboard. But the easiest way is to take a foam of sufficient density (300-350 g / m³) with a thickness of 4-5 mm or more. It costs a little, you can cut it with any hacksaw, it will not damage the paper, it weighs a mere trifle, so you can even fix the modules on double-sided tape. You can attach images to the tablets with glue (find the right one), or with a construction stapler and staples.
Decorative mirrors
Ideas for a home using mirrors are not new. The first samples of this magical glass appeared before our era and were extremely expensive and rare. And no wonder. The mirror itself is a great accessory, and if it has an unusual shape or an amazing frame, it will definitely become an interior decoration.
It's so simple - circles from mirrors, and the interior is transformed by Butterflies from the mirror - an interesting idea 
If you finish a shelf, chest of drawers, bedside table in the same style ...
Such compositions can be made not only from an ordinary mirror - coated glass. There is an acrylic mirror on the market. It is flexible and absolutely safe material. It does not give such a perfect reflection as a "normal" mirror, but for these conditions it is not required. You need a plastic material that is easy to work with. They sell sets of fragments of various shapes and sizes, on the reverse side of which double-sided tape is pasted. Attaching such a mirror is simple: remove the protective film from the adhesive tape, apply and press. All.
We make accessories for home decoration
Many ideas for the home relate to the creation of unique handicrafts that make our home memorable, cozy. It is these things that create the atmosphere of the house. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to spend an incredible amount of time and money on their creation. There are very simple ideas using the most ordinary, and sometimes junk things.
Home ideas are a sea of possibilities to improve the interior or make your life more comfortable...and sometimes both
Decoration of vases and bottles with lace
Amazing transformations can take very little time. For example, you can make a vase of unique beauty from an ordinary vase, bottle or jar. And the process itself will take 10-15 minutes. This is if you have everything at hand. And, in addition to decoration objects, only lace, PVA glue, scissors and a brush are needed.
Everything is exactly as you thought. We just wrap the vessel with lace, cut it to size, glue it, wait until it dries. It's all. But the result will please you.
Who said lace has to be white...
Lace can be bought or knitted. The second option allows you to decorate vases of complex shapes, which can be decorated with ordinary lace with great difficulty. If you don’t know how to knit, but want to decorate a vase with an unusual shape, look for a stretch one. There is also such, and in a fairly wide range. With the help of a stretching openwork, most of the problems are removed.
Zen garden
If you're looking for original home ideas, consider a miniature zen garden. It is easy to make, looks great, and can also help you relax and calm down after a hard day's work. Only this accessory is not for families with small children…. You will understand why.
The Zen garden in the original is quite a complex system, but stylizations can be made from a transparent rounded container or even from a glass candy bowl, a vase, a small aquarium. You will also need sand for landscaping, terrariums or aquariums and a fat plant or cactus.
First, let's figure out how to deal with a plant. it can be planted in a small pot, and buried in sand. Instead of a pot, you can use a sock with soil (tie a sock). Some plants (cacti) can be planted directly in the sand. In general, choose any method, but when landing directly in the sand, you need to take care of normal drainage - put pebbles on the bottom.
Sand is poured into the container, a pot with a plant or its roots is installed, all this is covered with sand to a certain level. Everything is ready. Now the surface of the sand is leveled and drawings are applied to it. There is a special metal stick for drawing, but a wooden one is also suitable for a start.
If you want to get closer to the original, you can make a desktop version of the Japanese garden from a small box. The frame of the box is assembled from wooden blocks or bamboo trunks, the bottom is usually made from plywood or well-fitted and finished wooden planks. You can also make legs.
The resulting container is also filled with fine sand, but what else to add there is up to you. You can plant several plants, lay stones, pebbles, put candles, a statue of the Buddha. In general, here everyone creates their own Zen))
Mini garden in the house
There are two types of miniature gardens that can be made to decorate the interior of a house or apartment: open and semi-closed. An open mini-garden is made in large flat pots, pallets. You can use miniature bonsai plants, succulents and small cacti.
When choosing plants, pay attention not only to size, but also to the soil in which the plants grow. With a sufficiently large area of the mini-garden, it can be divided into zones with different soil acidity, but this will require physical separation, as well as differentiation using physical plastic partitions - so that the soils do not mix.
In such an interior decoration, a real garden is recreated. With paths, benches, rockeries, etc. You can put a toy house, make a pond. Anything your imagination tells you.
Semi-closed mini-gardens are made in glass containers. Round ones look very interesting: aquariums, vases. Soil or stones are poured into them, plants are planted. But in such a limited volume, it is necessary to select plants not only according to the type of soil, but also the degree of illumination, irrigation regime, etc. It will not work in different ways to care for plants in a jar.
The smallest gardens ... And then - a moss garden ... a piece of a fairy tale
In such containers, you can grow different varieties of moss. In fact, they are very beautiful and only in such miniature gardens can one examine them to the smallest detail. Some of them resemble trees or shrubs, others are more like herbaceous plants. A wide variety of compositions are created from pebbles and moss, reproducing real landscapes or taking us to a fairy-tale land.
DIY sofa cushions
If you look at photos of interiors, you can see that in most of them pillows give a highlight to the interior. With their help, a boring interior turns into a lively and memorable one. In addition, a large number of pillows allows you to relax comfortably. Such ideas for a home allow you to quickly change the “mood of the interior”, adding home comfort.
In the case of using fabrics, everything is clear - we select the color and texture for the interior. But there are homemade pillows, from which it breathes comfort. A striking example of this is knitted pillows. A variety of patterns, colors, shapes. But the result is the same - they really want to hug, squeeze. They look very unconventional.
From old flannelette pajamas and a sweater And these old jeans turn into an original pillowcase ... all you need is a fabric with an adhesive base Knitted miracle - very comfortable Lace for finishing pillows - you need to choose the style Fleecy fabrics - simple and effective
What if you don't know how to knit? It's not a problem. There are old sweaters. Yours or children's. They make very interesting and neat pillows. You cut off the old knitted products along the sleeves, put a pillow into a half-finished pillowcase, sew it on both sides. Everything, the designer pillow is ready.
You can also use lace, fleecy fabrics, old jeans, even pajamas. Everything is in motion. And the weirder the coloring is, the more interesting the result is.
Home ideas: do-it-yourself little things
The atmosphere and comfort in the house are created not only by global things. Many small things that can be made from improvised materials bring no less and, sometimes, more pleasure and benefit. You use them often. And you don’t even look at the same paintings or mirrors in a month. A number of ideas for turning your home into a cozy and comfortable place have been collected in this section.
Opportunities - the sea
Shoe tray with pebbles
Owners of private houses have to go out into the yard regardless of the weather. Therefore, shoes are not always shining clean. Many get out of the situation by placing a rubber mat near the door or by placing a rubber pallet. Yes, the dirt does not spread, but the view is not the most attractive. You can significantly improve the situation simply by pouring pebbles into the pan. Water will flow over the stones, no drips are visible on them, dirt too. Periodically, it will be necessary to soak the pebbles in water and rinse to remove the accumulated dirt, but pebbles are reusable material and simply cannot be “erased”.
If there is no rubber pallet, you can knock down a wooden box with a side height of about 10 cm. Pebbles can be found on the banks of a river, sea, etc. In extreme cases, you can find it in designer stores or where they sell products for aquariums. But buying this "charm" is expensive.
Scarf storage
There are usually a lot of scarves, neckerchiefs and other similar products in every family. How to store them so that they do not take up a lot of meta, are always at hand, and at the same time do not wrinkle? There are several life hacks that you can easily do yourself.
First. We attach metal rings to a regular hanger. Rings can be plastic or metal. Both can be found in the departments that sell . There are just no, in shape, size and material. Rings can be nailed to wooden hangers / hangers / trempels, attached with staples from a stapler, to plastic ones - glued or tied with threads. And that's it, you have a device for storing scarves.
The situation is a little more complicated with the second device. You will need a processed board and a dozen or two clothespins. We fasten the clothespins to the bar on one side. They can be nailed, fastened with screws, glued. You will also need hinges to secure the structure itself to the wall.
Both ideas for a home are practical, require a minimum of funds and a little time. And evaluate the benefits yourself. Especially in the spring-autumn period, when there are a lot of scarves, shawls, planters on the shelf.
Instead of a bookshelf
- a good thing, but they are not appropriate everywhere, and good copies cost a lot of money. But books have to be stored somewhere. Exit - metal brackets. When they are installed, the bottom book serves as a support for milking 4-5 pieces, which simply fit on it.
Book holder - everything ingenious is simple
The disadvantage is obvious - the lower book is not available. The way out is to put the most unpopular or unnecessary one down.
Key holders and other small items
One of the biggest problems is where to hang the keys so that they can be quickly found, and also instantly hung or removed. One of the good options is a magnetic board, but where to look for it is a question. But you can make funny holders of tennis balls. They are cut about a third of the diameter. That's all. The holder is ready. It just needs to be anchored somewhere. You can - on the wall with nails, you can attach several pieces on a separate board, and attach the board itself to the wall, closet, etc.
Instead of a housekeeper - pretty faces
You can make such a holder for small things in a matter of seconds. Longer to look for tennis balls. And to make it even more interesting, eyes are glued to the ball. It turns out such a funny smiley.
Basket made of plastic bins and clothespins
The household is full of plastic food containers, but ideas for a home with their participation are rare. We found one such option, in which the hero is a liter mayonnaise container. In principle, any jar of large diameter and low height can be used. Otherwise, the "basket" will be inconvenient to use.
Waste to income - a basket from a plastic jar
Using universal glue, glue the container with clothespins. When the glue dries, cover the surface with varnish or wood oil. We cover the inside with a cover made of cotton or linen. We make it a little longer than necessary so that you can hide the unsightly edge behind the lapel.
The handle is made of steel wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm. We bend an arc out of it. At one end we make a loop, in the sidewall with the help of a nail heated on fire, we make two diagonally located holes (one opposite the other). We pass the formed loop on the handle into one hole. On the second side, we bend the wire, thread it through the second hole, and then form a loop. We decorate the handle with a hemp rope. You can also make basket decorations from it. If you know how to weave macrame - great, no - an ordinary pigtail woven from several threads will do.
Sofa or armchair stand for cups/glasses/newspapers
Drinking tea in your favorite chair is a great idea. But there is nowhere to put a cup, the phone always falls between the seat and the “bylets”. The armrests of modern models are soft, you can’t put anything on them. So smart people came up with the idea of making a stand for cups / glasses (pictured). Extremely simple and very convenient thing. Few home ideas will bring you more pleasant moments.
You will need three boards with a width of at least 25 cm. They are knocked down in the form of the letter “P” (the connection can be strengthened with carpentry corners). The height of the jumper is a little more than the height of the armrest, the table should protrude no more than 1/3 of the width of the seat, otherwise you simply won’t sit in the chair. The structure is placed sideways, the lower part is pushed under the chair. It serves as an emphasis and does not allow the structure to roll over. To be sure, make the lower part much longer than the “table”. Also, for mobility, you can install wheels, but do not forget that the legs of modern furniture are low and the wheels need small ones, and they will have to be mounted on the side. Otherwise, the stand simply will not go under the chair.
Where to hide dog bowls
Dog owners know how difficult it is to find a place for dog bowls. Dogs living in an apartment or house are usually fed in the kitchen. There they put bowls. But they are needed for half an hour a day, and then they get underfoot on the floor all day. You can solve the problem, and elegantly. We place the bowls in one of the drawers. Needed - opened the box, poured food. Feeding is over - the bowls have been washed, put in place, the box has been pushed back. Everything is perfect and does not interfere with anyone.
This idea will require a slight modernization of the box. A plank of a small section or a corner is stuffed around the perimeter. A rectangle of the desired size is cut out of plywood or other sheet material. We cut holes in it under the bowls, then paint (if necessary). That's all, the idea is implemented. It remains to train pets.
Slipper storage idea
In any house or apartment with two or more inhabitants, slippers get lost all the time, get confused and disappear somewhere. One of the interesting ideas for solving the problem is such pipes / holders for slippers. Each pair has its own pipe. Order guaranteed.
