Doing revisions from time to time in your wardrobes or closets, you can find a lot of things that are a pity to throw away, and you don’t seem to be able to directly apply it. In this case, remember the needlework lessons learned throughout your life, strain your imagination, think about what you are missing from the household, and roll up your sleeves and get down to business!
Saucepan
If you have jagged or holey
clay pots, pans, buckets, and you are fond of cultivating flowers, indoor and garden, then you and shards in your hands! How is a second life provided for old things with your own hands? Buckets can be used instead of tubs for lemons, ficuses, Chinese roses and other large indoor plants. Drape containers with
artificial moss, plastic green branches, etc. or wrapping paper, fabric suitable for your interior design. Or make the basics out of them for outdoor garden beds.
Pots will fit smaller plants. And clay pots - on the windowsills or on the walls like a cache-pot. A second life is provided for old things with their own hands even in the case when porcelain or clay plates, plastic trays are littered in kitchen cabinets. They are good in the role of prints on the walls in the corridors, in the kitchens, etc. Thus, you will kill two birds with one stone: update the interior, and decorate the room, and you will not part with dear things!
Beyond time and fashion
Now, clothes and everything about fabrics. A second life to old things with your own hands returns very easily. Knitted sweaters, blouses, dresses are easy to dissolve, and from the threads to knit a lot of all kinds of necessary little things. For example, elegant and original
covers for chairs, armchairs and sofas quickly crochet hooks so that the upholstery of furniture is not dirty and greasy. You can make bedside rugs and rugs under the door.
A second life is given to old things with their own hands, if appliqués from fabrics are sewn on washed jeans or topics or a simple pattern is embroidered. Even wash a strip of lace, and the thing already looks completely different! In addition, kitchen potholders, aprons, napkins - all this is cut out and sewed from obsolete chintz, terry and other clothes. The main thing is to show desire and diligence! By the way, old jeans and skirts are generally universal things. They make shorts, shopping or beach bags, very stylish. “Pockets” for knives and kitchen scissors, too. And in the children's room, a tape from such pockets on the wall near the desk will help your children not to lose pencils, felt-tip pens and pens. Make a similar storehouse for all sorts of cogs, carnations, cloves and your husband in the garage or workshop. See how grateful he will be!
Try this way, think, twist - a new life of old things will sparkle with bright colors! You will be recognized as a circle of friends and acquaintances by a creative person with a good sense of taste.
Let there be light!
The creative person is bright and extraordinary in everything, and the second life of old things (photo attached) is not such a difficult task. Do you have a night lamp with a worn cracked lampshade? Or a table lamp with an old broken dome? Christmas tree garlands already boring? Go ahead then! Paste cardboard bundles of juice with a “gypsy” needle, filling any pattern. Put on the lamp instead of the lampshade, turn on - intricate diffused light gently illuminates the room. Nice, right? And also buy a package of tennis balls, drill holes with a drill, put them on garlands, and fix with glue. Great, huh? And renew the thing, and it will serve for a long time!
The proposed options, as they say, a drop in the ocean. You can make so many useful and interesting things out of old things - you’ll jump!
