“Ah, if you knew from what rubbish ...” not only poetry is born, but also designer things for interior decoration, many would be surprised.
What is not a pity to throw, but you can put into business
To create original jewelry and functional items, not only purchased expensive accessories and other accessories are used, but also waste material. These are objects that a person used in everyday life, and then throws it out as unnecessary. It includes used cardboard packaging, plastic and glass bottles, egg cells, old tires and parts from various failed mechanisms. Everything that is not a pity to throw out, in skillful hands can turn into an original item, which can become an interior decoration or a gift for a dear person.
The art of creating beauty from rubbish
Ecological catastrophe is brewing in the world due to the fact that the amount of garbage emitted has sharply increased. Huge dumps not only spoil the appearance of the suburbs, but also create a threatening environmental situation. Artists from all over the world create their creations in the fashionable trash-art technique (“trash” in translation from English - “garbage”). This is an opportunity for caring and passionate people around the world to reuse waste material. This current is gaining momentum every year.
Original decorations for the street
In the design of a summer house or a personal plot, you can use junk material on a grand scale. These are old tires, from which you can make multi-tiered flower beds, and bright sculptures. They are also used for the manufacture of outdoor furniture, which is not afraid of the vagaries of the weather. Old buckets and broken dishes can serve as material for street lamps and flower pots.
The ubiquitous plastic bottles are an indispensable material for the design of beds and flower beds. With their help, you can not only decorate the site and outline the boundaries of planting, but even use them as a device for irrigation, when it is not possible to often visit the suburban area. And glass bottles are not only the basis for crafts, but also cheap building material from which craftsmen build arbors and other buildings.
In skillful hands, even bottle caps turn into material for creativity. A boring fence made of netting netting or a blank wall of a house turns into art objects after they are decorated with a mosaic of colored bottle caps.
Designer Interior Decorations

For example, glass bottles of interesting shapes, which are now on sale so much, can gain a second life if they are used to make such an object as a vase on the farm. From waste material you can make lamps, flowerpots for indoor flowers, panels and paintings.
Not only plastic or glass can be used, but also shells from eggs, old newspapers and magazines, shells from nuts. For example, pistachios can become the basis for stylish jewelry or a wreath. You can also make jewelry from lightnings from old things and keys from broken locks. Photos of junk material turned into masterpieces can be found in our article.
Egg shells can also be a source of inspiration. Its fragments can be glued onto a cardboard base and then painted with paints or glued napkins using the decoupage technique. Such an applique made of waste material looks elegant and noble, like an old mosaic or an oil painting cracked from time to time.

Modern craftswomen combine it with other types of needlework, for example, with decoupage, and amazing things are obtained. And how many people are keen on weaving newspaper tubes! Craftsmen make original baskets, and a cache-pot, and boxes for trifles. And some even manage to make wicker furniture and vases.
Crafts with children
Throw material is a great foundation for children's creativity. Kids are happy to come up with new possibilities for using seemingly unnecessary items. Children's imagination allows you to turn several plastic cups into characters of your favorite fairy tale.

Usually they use plastic bottles and caps from them, disposable tableware, plugs for toilet paper and paper towels, buttons, nutshells and much more. It should be easy for kids to work with materials: cut them, puncture, glue and perform other manipulations.
From the cardboard boxes left after buying the furniture, you can make a real kitchen for a little hostess. And for the boy - to make a car in which he will drive around the apartment. Yes, you never know what loving parents can come up with for their children. The joint production of such crafts is very close, and new ideas come during work. Adults perform complex steps, and the baby can be entrusted with a decorative finish.

Inside it can be glued with the remains of wallpaper, curtains can be cut from scraps of fabric. Furniture is also made from everything at hand. Making handicrafts from waste material is a fascinating activity that helps adults return to childhood, and children will learn how to create new things with their own hands.
