We spend many hours at our beloved cottage and are ready to devote all the time to its beautification and decoration. This is the only place where you feel in harmony with nature and the world. Therefore, all the finishing materials used for design should not spoil the overall perception of the site. Any crafts made from natural materials - this is the perfect solution for a summer residence.
Nature is perfect in itself. Look carefully around. So many diverse ideas as in nature, you will not find anywhere else. Your crafts made from natural materials can bring not only aesthetic satisfaction, but also carry practical meaning. We suggest you consider several options on how to decorate a house and a personal plot using only natural raw materials.
Let's start with the hallway of the cottage. It just can not do without a hanger. And what could be better for its manufacture, if a thick branch with numerous knots is not of an interesting shape? There are many options for the execution of such crafts from natural materials . If you are clearing your area of young growth, and among the sawn trees there is a trunk with a diameter of about 10-15 centimeters, then it will be an ideal hanger in the hallway. To do this, shorten it to the desired height. Chop branches, leaving knots 15 centimeters long. Saw a base with a size of 30x30 centimeters from thick plywood, and use a long self-tapping screw to connect it to the trunk. Coat the product with varnish and allow to dry completely.
Another option for such crafts from natural materials, such as a hanger, is done no less simply and quickly. You will need a small piece of board, screws and tree branches. From the branches we cut pieces of small size. Choose places where a thinner one grows from a thick branch. We get a few details in the form of the letter "U". The long side of such a workpiece is screwed to the board with the help of screws, and the smaller part serves as a hook for clothes. The finished product is varnished.
We pass into the room. Here you can place a variety of crafts and souvenirs made of natural materials. Do you have a simple mirror? Then make a beautiful birch bark frame for him. To do this, cut birch bark strips of the same size from birch trees and put them under the press for several days. From straight stripes, cut the blanks in the form of rectangles. Cut the back wall out of plywood. It should be 2 centimeters larger than the mirror. Drill holes around the perimeter at a distance of 1 centimeter from the edge and each other.
From the prepared rectangles, make a frame border. Make holes at a distance of 1 centimeter on three sides of the workpieces, without affecting only the one that will be internal. Using hemp rope, sew the blanks together. Decoratively cut the inside of the edging with scissors. Now lay out the back wall on the table. Place a mirror on it and cover it with the finished edging. Connect the frame with the hemp rope. Make a loop for hanging the finished product from the wall. Such a frame can be painted or decorated with carvings. But even without additional decoration, it will look great.
You can make interesting crafts from natural materials for children. Using material such as birch bark, make your baby a beautiful pencil. To do this, prepare and straighten several strips under the press. Cut a rectangular piece from one piece. Make holes on the short sides and sew it with hemp rope. Put the resulting pipe on another piece of birch bark and circle the bottom. Cut it out. Make holes over the entire diameter. Also pierce the bottom edge of the pipe. Connect both parts. Cut out the upper edge of the pencil box. It will be an excellent storage container for felt-tip pens, pens and colorful pencils for your baby.
