An empty wall can be decorated with a beautiful painting made of buttons. For this you will need:
- Solid color fabric to match the wall
- Multi-colored buttons
- 4 bars for making a stretcher
- Stapler with staples
- Oilcloth for work
Stages of work:
We cover the workplace with oilcloth
Step 1. Prepare the stretcher. We determine what size the picture will be. We select the blocks of the same thickness and saw off the corners at 45 degrees, connect the adjacent blocks and fasten them with a stapler.
Step 2. Apply the "Butterfly" pattern to the fabric. If you know how to draw, then it will not be difficult. The butterfly can be placed strictly in the center, or it can be tilted to simulate flight. If you do not have the talent of an artist, you can use a ready-made drawing and transfer it using tracing paper to fabric.
Step 3. Fill in the butterfly with buttons. We select buttons by color and size for "coloring" the picture. To create an interesting pattern, you need to take buttons of various colors, sizes and various materials made of them. Even incompatible colors and materials will look organic in the butterfly pattern. First, lay the buttons on the fabric inside the outline of the design. When all the buttons are in place, we begin to glue them to the fabric. We leave work to dry
Step 4. Pull the fabric over the stretcher. To do this, put a ready-made stretcher on the fabric, bend the fabric and fix it with a stapler from the inside.
The picture is ready! Instead of a butterfly, you can take any other drawing. Use rhinestones or old beads to fill in the design. If desired, arrange the painting in a frame, bought in a store, or made with your own hands.
Millet, horns and picture frame
The frame for the picture can be made from improvised means or you can decorate the existing old, but not interesting frame with your own decor. We decorate the frame with cereals and pasta. For this we need:
- Frame blank.
- Glue "Titan", "Athlete" or "Master"
- Groats, pasta
- Spray paint
- Finishing varnish
Stages of work:
Step 1. Prepare the frame as the stretcher did. If an old frame is used, then we first clean it with sandpaper from the old varnish.
Step 2. For decoration we use rice or pearl barley. We choose pasta of various shapes: spirals, rings, tubes, snails - everything to your taste. Distribute on the frame for preview. If the pattern suits you, we begin to glue the products to the frame. We apply glue to the frame in small portions and immediately attach the decor. We fill the empty, inaccessible places with cereals. We leave the work to dry.
Step 3. Using a spray can, apply the desired color to the frame, painting over all areas. Dry again.
Step 4. So that the frame can be wiped clean wet wipe, it needs to be treated with a finishing varnish. This will add durability and shine to the product.
One more work has been completed. Place a finished painting or photograph of your family in it. You can decorate the frame with buttons, shells and even pine nuts. A handmade painting in the frame of your own decor will look great over the sofa. Or maybe even decorate the sofa with beautiful pillows?
One is a pillow, two is a pillow, or - there are never too many pillows
Even the most boring sofa can be "amused" by throwing many different pillows and pillows on it. Ready for a makeover?
The work will consist of two, or maybe three stages:
Step 1. Making a pillow. For work, we use ready-made pillows or sew them ourselves. Ready-made pillows without covers and decorations can be bought at wholesale stores. You can make pillows yourself from old large ones. For this he sews from old fabric a pillow case of the desired shape, and fill it with fluff or padding polyester from the old one. Sew up the free edge of the pillowcase. Pillows can be of different shapes and sizes: rectangular, square, triangular, large and small.
Step 2 We sew pillow covers. We use new fabric or available, but of good quality. We select the fabric for the covers to match the environment. You can sew plain covers and decorate them with different decorative elements, or you can sew covers of the same tone, but with different patterns.
Step 3. If, nevertheless, plain covers were sewn, then they need to be decorated. We will decorate with bows and bows. The meaning is this: to sew on the covers of different sizes bows made of contrasting fabric, but close in texture to the fabric of the covers. On one pillow - one large bow in the center, on the other - five small multi-colored bows throughout front side covers, on the third - three small ones in one of the corners of the cover, and so on. If the fabric is dense and does not fray, bows with raw edges will look creative.
The pillows are ready, spread them out on the couch and feel how elegant it has become in the room.
You can decorate pillows in different ways: ribbons, ready-made or homemade applique, leather inserts, lace.
And what else can you do with your own hands to decorate the interior? Here are some examples for getting creative with different materials. From jute thread - a lampshade for a table lamp, from tree branches - a vase or flowerpot for a houseplant, from old wine corks - a frame for a mirror or clock, from construction isolon - flowers, from scraps of fabric - a blanket, from twine - a carpet. And many more different amazingly beautiful items.

The design of the room can be updated according to the seasons.
Autumn... Bright, in autumn colors, papier-mâché fruits, laid in a beautiful dish on the dining table, will emphasize the autumn mood. On orange cushions with stencils autumn leaves it will be cozy and warm to sit on the sofa. Homemade products in jars can be lovingly decorated with burlap lids and braided jute braids. Bright garlands and pendants made of dried fruits will decorate the windows, and a gray cloudy autumn day will sparkle with colors.
Winter... Since childhood, snowflakes are glued to the windows, letting the fairy tale into the house. Snowflakes can be not only flat, but also voluminous. On the window, you can depict the whole picture with the help of stencils. On the eve of New Year's fairy tale not only windows are transformed. We paint the prepared bottle of champagne with the help of spot painting on glass with snow patterns. We will make original clothes for bottles from old knitwear, and now Santa Claus and Snegurochka are on the table. Sew napkins for cutlery from the remnants of bright fabric. Dry tree branches are useful for making a candlestick or vase. Decorate the front door with a New Year's wreath
Spring... In the spring they celebrate beautiful holidays- March 8, Easter, May 1. In the design of the room, you can support the idea of \ u200b \ u200bthe holidays. Flowers made using the quilling technique, pillows decorated with flowers using the kanzashi technique, a flower chandelier, a spring wreath above the door, stands for easter eggs from yogurt bottles, bunny pillows, fun flower napkins on the table
Summer... The colors of summer, the scent of the sea, travel impressions will be reflected in the summer design. We will decorate the photo frame with shells, replace the dark blanket on the armchair with a bright patchwork bedspread, multi-colored butterflies will sit on the pillows, weave the floor vase from newspaper tubes... The main thing is more greenery, freshness and imagination.

Continue doing this, folding the odd strips like the first, and the even ones like the second, until you get to the last three. We fold the remaining strips under each other. You should get a nice pattern.

The paint should be the consistency of liquid sour cream. If the paint is too thick, thin it with a little water. Apply gently to the surface with the top of the sponge. To make the color more saturated, you can cover the product with two or three layers of paint (only after the first layer has dried).
Take three-layer napkins, cut out (the picture will have sharp borders) or carefully tear out (the picture will have fuzzy borders, smoothly blending into the background) the place with the pattern you like. Select the top layer with the pattern, we only need it.

We draw two circles with the diameter of your choice on cardboard or plywood. The distance between the inner and outer circles will frame your painting.
We draw a killer whale or print it from the Internet. Make sure the template fits the size of your painting. If you printed a template, circle it in the middle and paint over the corresponding places with the desired colors.
We paint over the background with blue paint, the frame can be painted over with black, or you can leave it as it is.
Take a black slim from discs, use a utility knife and a ruler to trace it into pieces. Break them off with pasatizh and glue them on the back of the future killer whale. We do the same with the white disc boxes and glue the belly with them.
Now you can proceed to the "sea". To make the craft neat, we get rid of scratches on the disk. To do this, using a ruler and a clerical knife, draw the disc into two equal parts and break it with a pasatizh.
The disc consists of several layers. We separate one of the transparent layers, cut the remaining layer of plastic with foil like boxes and stick it on the place that we have defined for the sea.
Fill the space between the mosaic fragments with stained glass paints in the colors corresponding to the background. Remember, paints change color slightly after drying.
After the paints have dried, you can proceed to the frame. We glue the edges of the cardboard with napkins.

The idea of making a bouquet of flowers out of paper is very good. For paper crafts, we need to purchase colored paper, cardboard, felt-tip pens, a stationery knife, tape, scissors and PVA glue.
Bouquet of paper
First, you need to make three blanks for each flower, two of which should be the same color, they should have six petals.
Place one blank in front of you, on top of which you glue a circle.
On the mug, first make holes for the eyes and mouth in the form of a smiley.
After gluing the mug with a flower, you need to paint your eyes with a black felt-tip pen, and then bend the petals inward.
The next step is to cut out the stem, which we further attach to the flower, and on the other side of the flower, attach the same blank.
You can also make leaves for a bouquet, which can be made from green paper.
First you need to draw an oval and cut it out, and then use scissors to make notches.
In order for the individual pieces of paper craft to become a single whole, tie the flowers with a ribbon or some other fabric for decorating the bouquet.
Such a bouquet will never fade and will be a great decoration for your home.
Simple crafts from plastic bottles
The simplest crafts for children include crafts from bottles.
For example, you can make a piggy bank from a bottle, for which you only need a marker, a stationery knife, dice (4 pieces), a small bottle, glue and colored paper.
The first step is to cut a straight line, the width of which can be 5 centimeters, and the length of this line should be enough to grip the bottle.
Draw eyes with a marker, and draw nostrils on the bottle cap. Using a clerical knife, cut a hole for coins.
As legs for the pig, you need to attach the dice with glue.
Note!
This craft develops the child's imagination, and is also useful in everyday life.
Ball of threads
The craft can be used as a lampshade for a lamp or simply hung as a decoration.
A ball of threads is made very simply, you will need colored threads, a ball, transparent glue to make it.
First, we need to inflate the balloon and tie its tip so that the air does not come out.
Then inflated balloon it is necessary to wrap with threads, then apply glue to the surface of the ball and wait until it dries.
Note!
Now you need to separate the ball from the threads, to do this, just pierce it with a needle and everything is ready for the craft.
Plasticine gnome and cones
As a simple DIY craft, you can make a gnome. For crafts, you will directly need a pine cone, light-colored plasticine, pieces of fabric, glue and a brush.
First of all, the child should roll a ball out of a piece of plasticine, after which it is necessary to make indentations on the ball using a brush for the nose, eyes and mouth.
At the next stage of our craft, you need to attach the resulting head to the top of the cone.
Then the child should cut a triangle out of the fabric and glue it on the sides, as a result, a cone should be obtained. The cone will play the role of a cap for our character.
Note!
At the end, it is necessary to make mittens from fabric, and then attach them to the cone using plasticine and our gnome from the cone is ready.
Paper bookmark
As a simple craft for kindergarten a paper bookmark is perfect. So that children can make one simple craft they will need a pencil, ruler, colored paper, scissors and glue.
To begin with, children should draw a square measuring 20 by 20 centimeters.
Then divide the resulting square into 4 identical parts using a pencil and a ruler, as a result there will be 4 squares measuring 5 by 5 centimeters.
The second step is to divide the upper right and lower left squares in such a way as to get triangles, that is, you need to draw a line diagonally from the upper corner to the lower corner.
We do not need triangles with the outer side and can be crossed out.
Then it is necessary to cut out a figure from paper without taking into account the crossed out triangles.
The upper triangle needs to be trimmed. If everything is done correctly, then the paper will be in the shape of a diamond, to which two triangles are glued.
The next step is to fold all the triangles in half, and then alternately put them on the tip of the rhombus. You should get a pocket that will fit over the end of the page of the book.
To make the bookmark original, children can be advised to cut some kind of applique from colored paper.
