Handmade with your own hands. How to beautifully decorate the interior with the help of home needlework (photo, step-by-step master class)
Going through the little things that have accumulated at home, you often wonder: what can you do with your own hands at home with all this so that the products are of high quality, beautiful and functional?
I speak on own experience: sometimes everything that separates us from the great homemade products- this is your own insecurity and absence.
On the Internet, you can find many workshops on making things from a variety of improvised means: plastic tableware, purchased blanks, pallets, old tires, etc.
But you must admit: rarely does anyone really have old tires from Kamaz lying around at home, from which you can make a pouf, but there will be difficulties with pallets if you don’t have your own cafe or shop.
We propose to go the other way and solve two problems at once in one fell swoop: do without expensive purchases and concentrate on eco-handmade from natural materials which can be easily found at home.
Postcards, decorations and crafts
The simplest of those things that you can do with your own hands at home is small items from paper, fabric and simple author's decor details.
The creation of these little things is well suited, as it develops fine motor skills of the hands and stimulates the unbridled creativity of the little ones.
But it cannot be said that the occupation is purely childish: many adults, carried away by handmade, make amazing things from simple materials and even on them, selling on the Internet.
Postcards
Let's start with the simplest. Colorful homemade postcards, with some diligence, are not inferior in beauty and quality to purchased ones.
Tip: if you were suddenly invited to, and you think what you can do with your own hands at home and present to the birthday man, start with a postcard. It's simple - even a novice handmaker can handle it, and the memory and pleasant emotions from such a gift will remain for a long time.
There are many options for postcards: simple (flat), opening, with three-dimensional figures inside; made of paper or fabric; decorated with applications, drawings, inscriptions, etc.
The simplest and at the same time original gift may become fulfilled with my own hands postcard As for materials, you can find everything you need to create postcards at home.
The obligatory minimum is a pencil, pen, scissors, PVA glue and, of course, paper (preferably thicker - drawing paper or thin cardboard).
And here's what else you can use to create postcards:
- Colored paper. These do not have to be new sheets - trimmings left over from the child's crafts will do.
- Foil from chocolate and sweets.
- Unnecessary details from old jewelry: cabochons, rhinestones, etc.
- Fabric scraps. Almost any will do, but it is best to take samples without fluffy pile.
- Threads.
- Colored pencils, pens, markers. For the design of the inscriptions, you can take black or colored liners - they practically do not smear and draw with clear lines of a given thickness.
- Watercolor paints. If you have school-age children, then there is a simple set of watercolors at home - they are quite enough for crafting postcards.
To prepare a souvenir, the remnants of bright, fabric, beads, ribbons will come in handy. In addition, you may need a clerical knife and superglue ("Moment", "Second").
The list of materials can be continued for a very long time, because literally anything can be used to create postcards.
At one time, I got myself a special box in which I put any little things that seemed suitable to me - even if I didn’t have specific ideas for using them at that time.
Experience has shown that in the end absolutely everything is used.
The main thing is to stock up on patience, free time and a desire to please loved one Tip: to make your postcards look stylish and harmonious, remember the most popular formats for making them: a rectangle 105x148 mm (A6 format), an elongated rectangle 98x210 mm, squares 140x140 and 120x120 mm.
Let's look at how to make a regular A6 postcard with your own hands.
- The first step is to prepare the base. Let's take the option that you will definitely find at home: a regular A4 sheet. Fold it in half along the wide side, making sure that the edges meet very precisely. Glue the sheet so that the halves fit snugly together. Let it dry, then fold over the wide side again. The basis for the postcard is ready.
- Now come up with a design. Consider the available materials, think about which ones you want to use, which ones work best with each other. You can draw a sketch on a separate piece of paper. Visualize as much as possible in your head the card you want to make - and, having selected the right materials, get to work.
- Process the decor elements. If you decide to place a curly paper or fabric application on a postcard, cut out the required shape in advance. Prepare everything that you will attach to the front of the postcard: colored paper, bows, rhinestones, fabric, etc.
- If you don't want to leave the background of the card white, now you need to color it. Take your watercolors or markers and apply a light coat suitable color. The effect of antiquity on paper can be given by painting it with tea or coffee. And if you throw a few grains of salt on wet watercolor, you get beautiful snowflake patterns. Remember to let the paper dry after painting.
- Decorate the front side of the product with the prepared decor.
- Sign the card on the spread, accompanying it with a beautiful poem or just a short congratulatory phrase.
The original homemade postcard is ready! Do not limit yourself in experiments and flight of fancy.
Try different styles and materials, sizes, and paper options. Look for your own author's handwriting and, most importantly, do not give up trying if the first results are not to your liking.
As in any business, everything depends not only on talent, but also on perseverance and practice.
Decorations
Among the things that you can do with your own hands at home, jewelry is one of the most popular options.
You can wear them yourself or give them to someone, or you can sell them, receiving not only pleasure from your own, but also material rewards.
Kids just love these original popsicle stick bracelets! The simplest option that young children can be involved in making is bracelets made from ordinary wooden ice cream sticks.
It should be honestly noted: such bracelets, both in size and in style, are primarily for children.
Little needlewomen and craftsmen are happy to take part in the creative transformation of familiar objects into bright jewelry - especially if you then decorate the bracelet in any way they like.
These bracelets are very easy to make. You will need:
- Ice cream sticks (one per bracelet)
- Glasses of suitable diameter
First, place all the sticks in one container and fill with water so that it completely covers our workpieces.
Since they are wooden and float easily, cover the container with a lid or something else.
Check the sticks after a while. Well soaked, they will begin to bend without breaking.
Then they need to be placed in a glass, bending inside or outside close to the walls.
I prefer to wrap the sticks around the glass, pressing on top with strong elastic bands: this way the finished product will more likely take the desired shape.
Leave the blanks to dry in a warm, dry room.
After complete drying, the bases will remain curved, and it will be possible to start decorating the product.
A wooden bracelet for a girl can be decorated with rhinestones, turning it into an accessory of a real princess, and a bracelet for a boy can be decorated with the emblem of your favorite superhero.
Another useful cuteness is a jewelry stand. Tip: for gluing decorative elements to wood, it is better to use superglue, and after painting it is worth varnishing the product.
Bracelets - rich soil for creativity. What you can do with your own hands at home, having a fishing line and beads at hand, is easy to imagine.
But I propose to pay attention to more non-standard products - woven Shambhala bracelets, which are great for both adults and children from 12 years old.
Such a product, made independently - and a talisman, and stylish accessory, combining patterned weaving with beads.
Popular Shambhala bracelets can be easily made with your own hands To weave Shambhala you will need:
- An odd number of beads made of wood or natural stone.
- Two smaller beads - for the clasp.
- The base cord is so thick that the selected beads can be freely strung on it. Take the length of the base cord based on the circumference of your wrist plus ten centimeters on each side for fasteners.
- The cord of the main weave is three to four times longer than the base (it is better to take a longer one for the first samples). Thicker threads are well suited for braiding.
- One lace about forty centimeters long for making a fastener.
It is convenient to weave Shambhala bracelets from waxed threads, but it is not necessary to run after them to the store. Experiment!
I wove one of my coolest bracelets from ordinary twine and a strong “iris” thread at the base.
Tip: to make Shambhala smooth and fine, fasten the weave. To do this, you can use a tight clerical clip and a planchette (or book cover).
We start to weave. About ten centimeters from the end of the warp cord, tie a knot of thread for the braid - so that it divides the thread into two tails of equal length.
Now you need to knit knots from these ponytails around the base cord, alternately threading one thread under it and the other over it.
Having made the desired number of knots, string the first bead onto the base and continue braiding immediately after it.
Alternate beads with weaving knots, using gaps to your liking); at the end, do not forget to knit the same number of knots of simple weaving as at the beginning. Finish with a knot.
Making designer jewelry may well be for you additional source income If you used a natural thread, apply a drop of PVA glue to the final knot, let it dry, then cut off the excess cord.
If the thread was synthetic, carefully cut the ends and burn the tails with a lighter or match - of course, being careful.
Let's go to the castle. Take the ponytails left on both sides of the bracelet, fold them together and tie with several knots of weaving using the third cord.
Fasten the lock in the same way as you fastened the bracelet. Put small beads on the remaining tails of the base cord and tie knots at the ends.
So your own beautiful Shambhala bracelet is ready.
Congratulations! This activity is fascinating, so do not be surprised if after a while you give these amulets to all your friends and you will think about what to do with new products.
Sell - let others appreciate your talent!

What can you do with your own hands at home for children under 10 years old? Of course, toys will be a win-win option.
Usually, sewing dolls requires a lot of additional materials, such as special fillers, and sewing skills are higher than the basic level.
But there is also such an option that the children themselves will cope with (and will be happy to help you): these are motanka dolls.
Encourage your child to make a cute winding doll To make them, you will need assorted pieces of fabric - any pieces of old unnecessary clothes will do.
For the base, the body of the pupa, it is better to choose something light: an old white sheet or thin burlap, but for clothes you can take any color you like.
You will also need ordinary sewing threads, optional ribbons and other little things for decoration.
The doll is made like this:
- Roll one piece of fabric into a three-dimensional rectangle or cube. This is the basis of the motanka's head.
- Put a square piece of light fabric on it, gather it on one side and wrap it with sewing thread. You don't need to make knots: a large number of the thread will fix itself and will not unwind.
- Take another square piece of light fabric. The length from corner to corner is our doll's arm span, so choose accordingly. Roll this cut into a roll, wrap the “wrists” with sewing threads.
- Tape the "sausage" of hands to the body of the chrysalis under the head. It is best to do this by winding the threads crosswise.
- Choose a few different-colored pieces of fabric for the doll's clothes. Make a skirt, preferably with two or more layers of fabric: it looks very cool. Secure the skirt with thread, twine or ribbon.
- Another piece of fabric will go to make a scarf. Fold a triangle from the cut and tie on the doll's head.
Traditionally, motanka dolls are made without faces - these are impersonal amulets.
I know that faceless dolls scare some people, so if you do not put any additional meaning into it, then you can safely embroider or draw a face on the fabric, giving your doll personality.
Such a doll will simultaneously become your personal amulet. Today you have learned how to create a variety of beautiful and useful things, and I am sure that you will be able to expand your handcrafting skills arsenal even further.
