Unusual crafts: unusual ideas for the home from ordinary materials. Instructions and tips for implementing creative ideas (115 photos)

You can create masterpieces from the simplest, seemingly unnecessary things. Everything is used: threads, plastic bottles, coffee beans, pine cones, paper, CDs, even light bulbs and a keyboard with a mouse.

Let's look at the most interesting and unusual DIY crafts. Do not rush to throw away pine (fir) cones after the New Year or a slightly damaged toy.

Christmas wreath made of pine cones and disk

Prepare:

• Christmas tree tinsel;
• a toy from the Christmas tree (preferably a bright ball);
• CD – 1 pc.;
• glue and scissors;
• scotch;
• Christmas tree (pine) cones are round and long;
• paints.

Stages of work:

We attach a bright Christmas tree ball to the center of the computer disk with superglue (adhesive tape). Lubricate the edges of the disk well with glue, glue small pieces of Christmas tree tinsel in a circle so that they look in different directions. Let it dry.

Small cones (round) can be painted light green. Cover the ends with white paint (snow). When the painted cones (5 pieces) are dry, glue their bases around the ball on top of the tinsel. Leave the bottom free.

Elongated cones can be coated with gold paint, then glued under the ball so that they look towards the center. This way the toy will hold on more firmly.

For the loop, a piece of chain is suitable, which we also glue to the top of the craft. Our Christmas wreath will hang on it.

It is customary in Europe to hang a wreath on the outside of the front door. In Russia, a wreath is hung inside a house (apartment) on a door, closet or wall.

Often, unusual crafts made from scrap materials can be seen at the dacha or in the courtyards of multi-story buildings. Everything is used: iron barrels, boards, various pieces of iron, even stumps from old trees.

Flowerbeds "Frog Princess" made of tires

For creativity you will need 3 old tires: we put two next to each other, and the 3rd one is placed on top.

We paint it bright green, the edging is painted yellow. We fill the soil inside where you can plant small flowers. Marigolds, pansies, etc. look great and don’t block our frog.

We paint the top tire in the center: a big red frog mouth. We fasten a yellow crown with teeth on a long stem well into the ground inside the tire. It can be done using improvised means.

Large eyes, like saucers, rest on the crown and the ground. Design them as shown in the figure.

The legs will be long hoses coming from the top tire-head of the frog. We also paint them green. Short hoses - from the lower tires. There are tulip-shaped tabs on the ends of the hoses. Long hoses with legs look inward, and short legs on the sides of the product look to the sides.

The result is a spectacular decoration for a country house or cottage. In any yard, such a craft will become the center of attention for children and adults.

There are many creative ideas and instructions on how to make crafts.

Decorative aquarium made from a light bulb

Large 150 W bulbs look more impressive. First you need to remove the inside of the light bulb.

After that, you can pour water into it and fill it with: pebbles, shells, sand and beautiful algae. You can place a twig on the sand and a large colored bead, etc. inside.

To hang a light bulb, you need a strong rope. We wrap it around the cartridge, tie it in several knots and hang it in the chosen place. 3 light bulbs next to different designs look better at the dacha.

Lava lamp

For this unusual DIY craft you need to prepare:

• empty bottles – 3 pcs.;
• food coloring;
• vegetable oil;
• Alka-Zeltzer.

Master Class:

Fill each bottle halfway with vegetable oil. Leaving 2.5 cm to the neck of the bottle, add water. Add food coloring - 10 drops.

Take Alka-Seltzer and divide it into 4 parts. One by one, drop ¼ Alka-Zeltzer into the bottle containing the resulting mixture. After each part, you need to wait until it sinks to the very bottom and all the bubbles come out. After that, throw in the next ¼ part. So all 4 parts.

The result is an unusual craft, where bubbles of colored lava rise from the bottom.

Original crafts from a keyboard and mouse

Even an unnecessary keyboard or non-working computer mouse can become a work of art.

Computer keyboard bracelet

Step-by-step instructions:

• You can select the letters you need and compose a word (phrase) by placing the letters in a certain order.
• In each of these letters, make 2 small holes on 2 sides to thread the elastic thread in 2 rows.
• We tie the knots discreetly on the wrong side of the product.
• For white letters use a white eraser, for black letters use a black one. Your friends will definitely not have such a bracelet.

Keyboard earrings

• You can take any keys from an unnecessary keyboard, for example, “Scroll Lock” and “Print Screen SysRq”.
• Make 2 small holes in one letter at the right corner, and in the other letter at the left corner.
• Insert the rings into the holes and secure the earrings in the rings.
• Rings, clasps for bracelets and blanks for earrings are freely sold in handicraft and children's art stores.

What can you make from a computer mouse?

Surprisingly, the craftsmen came up with a car!

An old mouse with a wheel and a ball in the center can easily be turned into a car. On the free side we glue black paper - this is the rear window. There are 2 black triangles with glue at the bottom - these are the taillights. All that remains is to find 4 wheels for the car and make recesses for them in the mouse. Your own car is ready!

You can also make a helicopter, mill, bird, Eiffel Tower, etc. from the motherboard and other spare parts.

DIY crafts. Decoration in a marine style.

The idea of ​​a beach wedding sounds very romantic, and a cake decorated with a nautical theme would be perfect.

For this decoration you will need:

5 shells (preferably ones that can be easily tied to a string); This example used a flat shield hedgehog that was purchased from a craft store.

Suitable rope (thread)

Wooden stick (skewer)

Thick PVA glue

Scissors

Ruler

tube

1. Prepare wooden sticks. If necessary, treat them with a nail file or sandpaper.

2. Prepare several plastic tubes and cut them into several segments. These will serve as spaces between the shells hanging on the rope.

3. Prepare the rope. It is better to cut off a piece with a margin.

Start threading the rope through the first shell, then tie a simple knot.

Add a cut piece of straw. You can add these segments where you want to create a space. Choose the length yourself.

*You can add one more additional element if you have one. This example adds coral.

*Repeat the same pattern several times until you fill the rope.

4. Knots should be tied at the ends so that the decoration elements do not fall off.

5. Now you need to remove the tubes that you used to mark the distance between the decoration elements. Just carefully insert the scissors into the tubes and cut them.

6. Start tying the ends of the rope to the sticks (skewers) - first wrap it a little and then tie a simple knot. Cut off the excess pieces of rope.

*You can strengthen the knot by adding a little glue.

DIY crafts (photo). We print using leaves.

You can leave imprints of leaves on paper or clothing (if you use special fabric paint) and create beautiful, bright and original designs.

You can also involve children.

You will need:

Fresh leaves - collect them with children as part of a craft project

Brush, sponge or roller

We use paint

Using a brush, sponge or roller, apply paint to the leaf. You can put a sheet of paper on top or vice versa, turn the sheet over and attach it to the paper. The main thing is to find the right amount of paint.

Using ink

Apply some ink to the leaf and carefully place it on the paper. Cover the top of the sheet with paper and gently press to transfer the colors to the bottom paper.

* You can place a towel under the paper, which will allow you to transfer more details.

DIY garden crafts. Multi-colored stones.

If you have planted tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, etc. in your garden, then for convenience you can make these beautiful stones on which you can write the name of the plant and leave the stone where this plant is located.

Use regular non-toxic acrylic paints. You can paint each stone in the colors of the plant.

For example, if you planted tomatoes, color the guide stone red, add a little green to indicate the tail and make the stone look like a tomato. In this case, the inscription need not be made.

As always, everything is quite simple and beautiful!

Making various crafts for children with your own hands together with your child is an exciting activity that significantly contributes not only to the development of the child, but also to strengthening your relationship with him. Any child will be very happy if he has the opportunity to do something beautiful with his parents. Therefore, even in the busiest schedule, try to set aside a piece of time to devote to activities with your children. The sections of our article will provide useful recommendations on how to make crafts with your own hands from various materials, taking into account the age characteristics of children.

DIY paper crafts for children

The most commonly used material for applied arts is, of course, paper. Moreover, it is worth paying attention not only to the usual color sets, but also to its other types: corrugated, velvet, designer. You can create crafts with your own hands for children from paper, either flat (appliques) or voluminous, using various techniques. For example, having learned to fold a flower using the origami technique, to form a beautiful bouquet of tulips.

The easiest DIY crafts for beginners

For those who are just starting to teach their child arts and crafts, we advise you to start with the simplest solutions, making easy crafts for children with your own hands. You might like examples of caterpillars made from paper rings, an applique of colorful fish, or funny little mice on a piece of cheese.

DIY cardboard crafts for children

Cardboard is an easily accessible material that can be easily cut, bent, painted, and is often used in children's creative works. In addition to a set of cardboard purchased in a store, cardboard boxes, disposable tableware, cereal packaging, egg honeycombs, and toilet paper rolls are used. In our photo catalog you will see what craftsmen make from cardboard for children. For example, a stand for pencils, funny animals, boxes.

DIY “house” craft

Cardboard houses are made to suit any size - it all depends on their purpose. Perhaps it will be a large structure the size of a child, a “home” for dolls, or a DIY “house” craft, made as a New Year’s decoration, gift wrapping. In any case, the manufacturing technology is the same, the differences will be in size and design. We have prepared some sketches from which you can make blanks. If you are making small structures, PVA glue and tape are enough to hold the parts together. When building a large house, it is better to use a heat gun for reliability. The DIY New Year's "house" craft is complemented by decor that imitates snow on the roof (cotton wool, foam balls), and the gift wrapping must have at least one opening flap, for example, a door, a roof slope.

How to make a DIY craft from fabric

Wonderful DIY crafts and toys are sewn using fabric. Moreover, not only a solid cut, but various shreds, household napkins and even socks. Look at the photo, isn’t it true, the cute bunny came out of a sock? An older child will be able to do it on his own, but the baby will have to help. Make the necessary cuts and seams, and instruct the child to tightly stuff the figure and also draw a face.

You can also sew crafts for children with your own hands, which will become not only a decoration, a toy, but also a useful thing, for example, a large soft duck-ottoman, a photo of which is in our catalog, or a star pillow.

DIY children's crafts made from felt

Felt is a wonderful, comfortable fabric that comes in a vibrant range of colors. It allows you to sew a variety of DIY crafts for children, and then decorate the children's room with them. Household napkins (usually sold in a set of four colors) will help replace the fabric. These toy crafts are sewn together with your own hands, without the help of a sewing machine, by hand.

DIY children's crafts for the New Year

On the eve of the New Year holidays and children's matinees, rooms are decorated everywhere and lush Christmas trees are decorated. It’s quite possible to make a lot of interesting symbolic additions yourself without spending money on purchases. These can be the most original Christmas tree balls, garlands, and other decorations that a child can easily make.

DIY snowman craft

The snowman is a unique symbol of winter and, naturally, his presence will come in handy for the New Year’s interior. The photographs of our selection show options on how to make such crafts with your own hands step by step, using foam balls, socks, and pom-poms. A larger figure, decorated with thread, balloons, and glue, is suitable for a kindergarten matinee. Inflate five balloons of different sizes (two of the same size for the handles). Wrap each of them with a thread dipped in glue (PVA is quite suitable). When the workpieces are completely dry, the balls need to burst and be taken out from the inside. The finished balls are fastened together. The DIY “snowman” craft is almost ready. All that remains is to decorate the eyes (beads, buttons), the mouth from thread, and the carrot nose (sew from fabric). Traditionally, the head is complemented with a bucket, and the neck is decorated with a scarf.

DIY Santa Claus craft

You can't do without Santa Claus in the New Year's interior. The easiest way is to make it out of thick paper (cardboard). Use a ready-made template, or make a cone-shaped shape from a sheet, which you then “dress” with the help of multi-colored paper, shaping your face, beard, and hands. Children make similar crafts for the New Year with their own hands using fabric (you will find examples of patterns here), plastic bottles, and other improvised means.

DIY crafts for kindergarten

Various creative works for young children of kindergarten age should differ in simpler techniques and materials. The child is just beginning to learn how to do something beautiful on his own, so you need to choose the simplest but most interesting options.

DIY crafts for kindergarten children: applications

The most common way to teach children to create pictures is through appliqué. Such crafts for kindergarten with your own hands (photos are presented below) can be constructed not only using colored paper, you can also take thick fabric, artificial leather, velvet paper, improvised materials (cotton pads, cereals, etc.), natural raw materials (leaves, seeds) . Children of older groups can begin extensive work, for example, making an applique in an “aquarium” box with hanging representatives of the aquatic world.

DIY crafts for kindergarten from natural materials

Often, especially in the fall, exhibitions of works are held demonstrating do-it-yourself crafts for kindergarten from natural ingredients. Chestnuts, acorns, pine cones, sunflower seeds, pumpkins, colorful autumn foliage - all this provides great soil for the development of children's imagination. To make various figures and compositions, plasticine is additionally used to hold the parts together or form the base. Pictures of DIY crafts using natural raw materials are presented in our photo selection. Feel free to try using them by making a chestnut caterpillar, a hedgehog, and other samples.

DIY crafts for school

School work varies in complexity. While DIY crafts in elementary school have simple forms, high school students with sufficient skills are able to create more complex compositions, for example, a bouquet of roses from maple leaves, a cardboard town, or a paper basket with asters.

DIY crafts for school, photos of which are posted below, involve the use of a large selection of raw materials, including all sorts of improvised means (plastic dishes, DVDs, matches, buttons).

DIY crafts for schoolchildren using the cutting technique

Crosscutting is a fairly entertaining creative process that is suitable for children of different ages. It allows you to create “fluffy” pictures that will decorate your room, as well as an original gift for your family. Do-it-yourself crafts in elementary school have simplified versions until the child acquires certain skills. For example, in this way you can design only the outlines of a drawing.

To make a lush applique you will need corrugated paper, scissors, glue, a match or a toothpick with a blunt end, and a sketch on cardboard. Before making the craft with your own hands, we cut the paper into small squares (0.5 cm), which we sort by color. Lubricate the sketch with glue. We place the match in the center of the square, turn it (so that the corrugation is fixed to it), then glue it with its end to the sketch. Thus, we decorate the entire drawing using the necessary colors of corrugated squares.

Learning to create beauty yourself is the best way to develop a child’s creative abilities. DIY children's crafts significantly develop imagination, giving the joy of interesting time spent together with adults.

The best cardboard crafts

You can do the same cardboard crafts do it yourself with instructions and diagrams for all family members. This is a fun and interesting process, and will not leave anyone idle.

From small white decorative stones you can make a very original stand for a cup with your own hands, as in the photo. To do this, the pebbles need to be glued together. This is a very painstaking and lengthy work, but the result will exceed all expectations. This stand, made from readily available materials, can be used even for hot dishes at home.

Jewelry box made from a metal can

We have provided you with many interesting photo ideas for creating DIY crafts from various available materials. They are all equally beautiful and original. However, I would also like to offer you one no less cool idea, which can be done at home from a simple tin can and colorful fabric. If you are interested in our proposal, then let's start our step-by-step master class with a description of all the actions.

To work you need:

• metal can;
• textile;
• hot glue;
• scissors;
• cardboard;
• pencil or compass.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take an empty metal can and a cloth. We need to decorate the container festively. To do this, take measurements from the side of the can and transfer them to the material. Then we cut out the decor to the desired size and glue it to the side surface of the container using hot glue.
2. We should also bend the protruding part of the fabric on the top of the jar inward and seal it. It turned out something like neat sides.
3. From cardboard, having measured the diameter of the metal container, we cut out circles of the appropriate size in the amount of two pieces and an additional third one of a slightly smaller size.
4. Our cardboard blanks should also be decorated on both sides with fabric, using hot glue to secure them.
5. One round piece will become the bottom of our decorated box, where we insert it, and the second two will become a lid, consisting of two circles that differ in size (the large one is the top of the lid, and the small one is the bottom).
6. Upon completion of the creative work, you can transform the box with satin bows, rhinestones, beads or something else, no less bright. It’s not a sin to give such a craft to your mother, sister, girlfriend or your young girlfriend. This is how you can create many original things with your own hands at home from empty jars of cream, hair balms, tea, and more. All these available means are quite accessible and varied.

Video: master class on making a box from matchboxes

Crafts, as you can easily guess from the name, are just made. Moreover, many associate this name only with school and labor lessons. Then you had to glue colored paper onto cardboard or learn how to fold cranes using the origami technique. However, an interesting craft created with your own hands is a very exciting and not boring pastime. In addition, such a product can be an excellent and original gift.

Crafts that can be made from scrap materials

Interesting crafts made with your own hands from scrap materials seem to some to be nothing more than a myth. However, this is not at all true. A beautiful composition can be obtained even from ordinary paper napkins. Thanks to their structure, you can make wonderful and voluminous flowers.

This option is suitable for activities with small children. This is due to the fact that such a craft is quite simple to make, but it looks bright. In addition, kids love to tinker with such pleasant-to-touch details.

First of all, you need to prepare the materials:

• Several napkins of different colors. Pink, yellow, orange will do. It's also worth stocking up on a few green napkins to mark the leaves.
• Cardboard on which the entire composition will be glued.
• Glue. Best in pencil. It allows minimal staining of your hands, does not spread, but at the same time holds the parts together well.
• Scissors.

An interesting DIY craft: a flower made from a napkin

The algorithm for making a flower arrangement is simple. Each napkin, except the green ones, is cut into four parts. Scissors are best handled by adults, especially if the child is too young. Each piece must be carefully rolled into a small ball. This action can be safely entrusted to a child. Not only is it fun, but it also helps develop fine motor skills.

Each napkin circle is one petal. Therefore, it is better to draw the outlines of the flower on cardboard in advance, and then carefully glue the petals into place. You can play and create a miracle flower with different petals. You need to cut out leaves and stems from green napkins. Then they are also glued to the picture. To make the composition look even more interesting, you can choose colored cardboard rather than ordinary cardboard.

You can also create a more voluminous version that does not have to be glued to any surface. To do this, a piece of napkin is twisted and crushed by hand. And over one of the ends the flower is wrapped in a green napkin so that a small tip remains - this is the future stem. You can secure everything with a little glue. This is quite an interesting craft that small children can make with their own hands.

New Year's crafts. Together with children

The most interesting DIY crafts you can do together with your children. This will help keep little fidgets busy, and also develop their imagination and perseverance. Funny snowmen will be a beautiful decoration for the Christmas tree, and a good gift. To make them you will need:

• Two socks. One of them is white. Another is better to choose contrasting colors, maybe stripes or polka dots.
• Rice. Round shape is better. You can choose another cereal, but it will be unpleasant to the touch.
• A small amount of orange paper.
• Marker or buttons.
• Scissors.
• Thread.

These are interesting New Year's crafts; you can create them with your own hands in the shape of snowmen, and they do not require much time to complete. The upper part, which most often consists of an elastic band, is cut off from the white sock. The bottom is tied with a rope to make a bag. The cereal is poured into it, shaking the sock periodically. This action will help you get an elastic snowman. The upper part is also tied with thread.

Then take the “pocket” from the second, colored sock. This can be either a piece with an elastic band or a piece from the foot. It is worn over a padded figure, like a sweater. Then it is tied with a rope and pulled so that a fold is formed - like the waist of a snowman.

Then comes the turn of the figure’s face. You can make eyes from buttons, but there is an easier way - draw them with a marker. You'll have to tinker with the nose, as it should be voluminous. To do this, cut out a strip of paper of the desired color, roll it into a tube, and then glue it onto the snowman’s face. If you make a whole team of snowmen, then interesting DIY crafts for the New Year are ready!

You can decorate such a snowman with a hat made of woolen threads and cardboard. The algorithm is somewhat similar to making pompoms. The brighter the better! You can also sew on beautiful elements such as brooches - then the snowman will become a girl. Or you can create a whole family.

Addition to the Christmas tree. Beautiful sleigh

In addition to snowmen, you can decorate the Christmas tree and sleighs. They will need:

• Popsicle sticks, at least ten pieces.
• Glue or glue gun.
• Paint, glitter, nail polish.

The sticks should be thoroughly washed and dried. The sled is assembled as follows:

1. Two sticks are laid out end up.
2. Two more are placed across them, but with the flat side facing them. They stick. This is a kind of frame for a craft.
3. The rest are glued onto flat sticks. For texture, you can stick them not evenly, but in a ladder. You can also decorate the sticks with varnish, paint, and add glitter in advance.

If you add a loop, then such an elegant sleigh can be safely hung on a Christmas tree. By the way, ice cream sticks are a good base for many crafts. This is how beautiful boxes are made.

Christmas wreath. Home decoration

Adults also like to make interesting New Year crafts with their own hands. For example, a Christmas wreath is beautiful and original. It requires strong wire, spruce branches, burlap, a glue gun, thick threads, some newspaper and decorations such as balls and ribbons.

The wire is rolled into a circle - this is the frame of the wreath. It is better to wrap it in newspaper or paper and secure it with a thick thread. The top is wrapped in burlap. It, in turn, is also wrapped with threads or rope. It should be tightened tightly. Using, again, thick threads or ropes, spruce branches are secured. You can do this chaotically. If the burlap is visible, there is nothing to worry about. Toys and crafts are already attached to them using a glue gun. By combining materials, you can create different wreaths. For example, only from ribbons and bows. Or using old toys.

Crafts made from shells. For those who can draw

An interesting DIY craft can be made from simple egg shells. To do this, the pieces are cleared of films and prepared. A sheet of cardboard is treated with PVA glue. Pieces of shell are placed on it, then everything is covered with books and dried.

The resulting base can be colored as desired. This technique is interesting because the drawing turns out three-dimensional, similar to a mosaic. For manufacturing, it is better to use acrylic paints, as they adhere best to such material. By the way, you can prepare the sheets in advance and wait for a surge of inspiration.

Three-dimensional drawings made from shells

Crafts made from shells glued onto a ready-made drawing look no less original. To do this, any image is drawn onto cardboard. And with the help of the shell, some details are highlighted, for example, clouds. If you use paints, you can paint the pieces in advance and then glue them. However, this path is quite painstaking.

You can also paint each area in sections. That is, stick the shell, paint the area, and stick the material again onto another design. Such an image is often schematic, but original in texture.

DIY craft options

Crafts can be made from almost any material, from egg shells to boxes. Everything depends solely on imagination. Interesting DIY paper crafts are also popular.

Flowers, snowflakes, boats look beautiful - anything made from cardboard or paper. However, such crafts are short-lived. A vase made from a bottle or a wooden box will delight you much longer. This can be an original gift and just helps you have a good time.
