Lessons of Samodelkin: second life with old things

Doing an audit from time to time in your wardrobes or closets, you can find a lot of things that you do not want to throw out, and you probably will not apply it directly. In this case, remember the lessons of needlework received during life, strain your imagination, think what you lack in the economy, and roll up your sleeves, get down to business!

Pans with skewers

If you have chipped or hollow clay pots, pans, buckets, and you are fond of breeding flowers, indoor and garden, then you also have shards in your hands! How does the second life provide the old things with their own hands? Buckets can be used instead of kadok for lemons, fig trees, Chinese roses and other large houseplants. Drains the tanks with artificial moss, plastic green twigs, etc. Or wrapping paper, a cloth suitable for you in interior design. Or make them the basis for outdoor garden beds.

Casseroles are suitable for smaller plants. And clay pots - on the windowsills or on the walls like pots. A second life is provided for the old things with their own hands, in the case when porcelain or plastic plates or plastic trays are covered in kitchen cabinets. They are good in the role of prints on walls in corridors, in kitchens, etc. Thus, you will kill two birds with one stone: decorate the interior and decorate the room, and with expensive things you can not part with!

Out of time and fashion

Now clothes and everything that concerns fabrics. The second life with old hands returns very easily. Knitted sweaters, blouses, dresses are easy to dissolve, and from the thread bind the mass of all sorts of necessary trifles. For example, the crochet quickly make elegant and original cloaks for chairs, armchairs and sofas, so that the upholstery of furniture is not spoiled and salted. You can make bedside mats and rugs under the door.

Give a second life to old things with your own hands, if you wash your jeans or tops on appliqués from fabrics or embroider a simple drawing. Even a strip of lace is added, and it looks quite different! In addition, kitchen potholders, aprons, napkins - all this is cut out and sewed out of used cotton, terry and other clothes. The main thing is to show desire and diligence! By the way, old jeans and skirts are generally universal. Of these, make shorts, household or beach bags, very stylish. "Pockets" for knives and kitchen scissors - too. And in the children's room, a tape of these pockets on the wall near the desk will help your children not to lose their pencils, markers and pens. Make a similar store for all sorts of screw-nut-studs and her husband in the garage or workshop. You will see how grateful he will be!

Try this and that, think, twist - a new life of old things will play bright colors! You will be among the friends and acquaintances of a creative person with a good sense of taste.

Let there be light!

The creative person is bright and unordinary in everything, and the second life of old things (the photo is attached) is not such a difficult task. Do you have a night lamp with a worn-out cracked lampshade? Or a table lamp with an old beaten dome? Christmas tree garlands, already bored? Then go ahead! Cardboard packs from the juice pierce the "gypsy" needle, stuffing any picture. You put on the lamp instead of the lampshade, turn on - the intricate diffused light gently illuminates the room. It's nice, is not it? And buy a package of tennis balls, drill holes with drills, put them on garlands, fix them with glue. That's great, huh? And update the thing, and it will serve for a long time!

The proposed options, what is called, a drop in the sea. You can do so much useful and interesting things from old things - you rock yourself!
