Every year, a huge number of various objects accumulate in our house, which it is very a pity to throw out, and no one will use it. How to make useful things from old things? You need to connect a little imagination.
Your house has a favorite cat and you just need to buy a couch for it. Take your time running to the pet store and spending money. Take a look at the mezzanine and you will find an old diplomat or a small suitcase. Here from him, we’ll make a cat bed and make a cat. We will need four decorative legs, a flap of material and a piece of thick foam rubber, equal in size to the area of the suitcase. We remove the lid from the plastic diplomat. On the second half we fasten the legs. From foam rubber and fabric we sew a pillow, which we put in the resulting stove bench. The sleeping place for the cat is ready.
Unique things from old things can be obtained by supplementing them with new elements or completely changing the purpose. If you like to grow flowers and have many clay pots on the windowsill that have lost their appearance from time to time, do not buy new containers. Bring life back to old pots. For this, plasticine packaging and various trifles will be required: beautiful pebbles, coffee beans, beads, shells, buttons and everything that is found. We coat the pot with plasticine and in any order we press our finishing material into it until we cover the entire external area of the flower pot.
Many famous designers make their things from old things. In the hallway lay my favorite bright umbrella with a long handle. Favorite but broken. And throwing him so sorry. And you don’t have to do this at all, let it still serve us. We take it to the garden plot, open it, turn it upside down and stick it into the ground. Now our umbrella will become the central element of a beautiful flowerbed with flowers. Inside, we fill the ground and plant flowers. To make our flowerbed stable, we pierce a raincoat fabric on an umbrella in several places and stick metal pins through it into the ground.
Do-it-yourself items from old things will be of great benefit and will save money. Does your child need a new pencil stand? It will help the can of suitable size. But you need to change its appearance. To do this, take the “Moment” glue and a cord of one or several bright colors. Carefully bend the metal burrs from the open lid. Turn the jar upside down and, smearing the surface of the walls, wrap it with a decorative cord to the very top. We decorate with the help of a decorative butterfly made of fabric or several buttons glued.
What to do from old things is up to you. It all depends on the breadth of views and the scope of imagination. Look at an ordinary plastic bottle. It looks like the simplest thing. But for its many uses, you can compose a laudatory ode to a plastic bottle. Do you need a flower vase, a glass for drinking or steaming quick soup on the go? Cut the bottle. Can't find the funnel? Trim the top of the bottle. Need a funnel for gas? And this time the bottle will save. Need a place for toothbrushes or pens? Cut the bottle in a special way and nail it with a nail to the wall. Here is a hanging glass for you - a shelf in which you can make personal hygiene items or tubes with shoe polish.
Is your wardrobe stuffed with things that are out of fashion, worn out or just tired? Do not rush to throw them away. Especially if you like to do needlework or have a baby in the family. Clothing from old things is very beautiful and unique. Are old jeans available? Trim your legs and get shorts or breeches. From the extra flaps, cut out the straps - get a jumpsuit. Or cropping the upper part and complementing it with a strip of another fabric, make a fashionable skirt. From jeans you can sew a great children's suit or bag.
