We have a summer residence for a long time. But somehow somehow the line does not reach the decoration of his site. As usual, most of the time takes home improvement and a garden with a garden. But I also want the eye to rejoice. Very helpful article. Thanks for the ideas. It turns out that you can do so many different kinds of interesting things practically out of garbage at the cost of a minimum of effort and time. Take a note. And the kids will be interested, and getting rid of the trash, and the environment does not suffer.
My summer house appeared not so long ago, literally about 3 years ago. All these three years she was engaged in gardening, I wanted more flowers, fruit trees. Now, finally, I more or less understood the garden, and I thought about how to decorate all this in an original way. Before that, I used only old tires as a decoration. I really liked the idea with plastic bottles, since I have plenty of them, now it will be possible to use them in such an interesting way)
Loved all the ideas, without exception. Only you wonder how creative people are who will make a real sweet of any candy wrapper. I especially liked the cart, the hut on chicken legs and the artificial pond. But most of all I am delighted with the mill. As I saw, I immediately wanted to put this to our summer cottage. Now I will ask my husband to do
In my opinion, you can make original crafts for giving from anything, say, from an old car tire, stones, plastic bottles, etc. You can draw ideas from the Internet or trust your imagination. For example, I liked the idea of a cart with flowers, even an old bathtub can be used 🙂 In general, the scope for creativity is unlimited.
This I successfully went to your article! The fact is that I am a beginner summer resident, a gardener. Now also a novice designer! Last year, they bought a summer cottage and have not yet equipped it. Here straight eyes run up, such a splendor of various crafts, straight masterpieces. Immediately I began to recall what I currently have on hand from materials. First I will take up the recycling of plastic bottles and containers, and old shoes. Piglets really liked, because the symbol of the year. And the scarecrow is simply charming, of course, no one will be afraid, but it will be able to delight the country atmosphere. Now my site will be the best, in this I… More details »
I personally do not like crafts made of plastic, bottles, car tires. In my opinion, this spoils the view of the site and looks very cheap. Another thing - crafts made of wood. I have a whole zoo living on my site from animals that I cut myself. A plywood dog sits on the porch railing, an owl from a single piece of wood is located on a bird cherry. By the summer I am doing Grandfather Mazay and a family of hares from thick birch branches, the boat will also be from a thin birch trunk. Another wife wants to make the Alpine slide itself with plants and stones - this is only in our plans.
I completely agree with Dmitry Sergeyevich! Plastic bottles, tires, computer disks are horrible. It looks cheap and not at all pretty. If not to talk about finished jewelry, then wooden sculptures and stones look organically, and, strangely enough, I saw interesting animals welded from metal pipes. But they were not painted in wild colors and were decorated with plants.
I always wondered where people got so much imagination from.How many cool gizmos for the garden and playground can be made from unnecessary things. In our courtyard we made a swan from a large plastic bottle, wire and putty, it looks great on the flowerbed. From the outside, everything is easy and beautiful, but the hands themselves do not reach. I caught fire again and decided to try. I'll start with flowers from disposable spoons.
Cool ideas :) And the truth is, you can do crafts from anything, even from old unnecessary things and accessories. By the way, I did similar ones, in my country house there are pigs, frogs and bunnies from big bottles under the bushes, it looks funny. Now I want to decorate flower beds with colored stones, well, or make flowers from small bottles) Let's see what happens)
I agree with the previous answer, of course, the painted tires and plastic bottles have no place on the site. In my opinion, crafts from saw cuts of an old tree, turned wooden figures of animals look very organically on the site. Well, my personal love is vintage bicycles with flower baskets. I immediately recall childhood, my father’s bike and I are in the trunk and we go to the garden along a country road ...
As a teacher, I am very interested in the topic of crafts in general. Tires are a separate issue ... so many interesting, beautiful things can be built. I liked the idea with a mini sandbox. Palm trees from plastic bottles also look very original. I also like crafts from old things: shoes, a bicycle, a suitcase ... there is so much that can be done if only there is a desire and imagination.
Very interesting ideas, thank you very much! How wonderful it is to give things a second life, and not to take them to a landfill. Be sure to use your advice when decorating your summer cottage. Now the summer season is just beginning and, I think, many of your advice will be very helpful. And especially to those who have kids. After all, you can fantasize with them and make cartoon characters! And it seems to me that the crafts made of wood and stone will look especially harmonious. In general, who has enough imagination)
