Description of work. Jewelry made from waste material - plastic bottles.

Appointment. The work can be used to present at an exhibition, be a gift, become an ornament and addition to the costume of a young fashionista.

Increasingly, there are calls around us for a careful attitude towards our planet and its resources, for the reuse of paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, etc. It turns out that the average person throws out 45 kg of plastic per year, and the time for the decomposition of plastic in nature is hundreds of years. And if you get creative with recycling, you can create masterpieces - do-it-yourself decorations. Making jewelry is not difficult, but such jewelry looks amazing. Plastic is used from waste bottles. By cutting out a few pieces of such plastic, you can give free rein to your imagination, applying some more techniques, and in the end you can get a masterpiece.
Beads and rings,
Earrings and bracelets
For a real girl -
Magic secrets.
After all, it's so good:
There is a blush and a soul

However, in jewelry
Looks more expensive.
Beauty will dress up

Will go out into the street
Everyone smiles at her
Everyone admires her.
(Love Sokolik)

Materials and tools.
- Plastic bottle;
- scissors;
- lighter;
- awl or buttons;
- candle.

For decoration we need:
- beads and beads;
- carnations;
- ribbons.

Stepping through
Take part of the plastic bottle. Cut into squares of the required size - from one to two centimeters.

We give the square blanks the shape of a flower. To do this, we make cuts on four sides in the middle of each side.

We round each petal with scissors on both sides - we get flowers consisting of four petals.

Using an awl or a power button, we pierce the middle of the workpiece.

Then singe over a candle, holding the workpiece above the flame.

Thus, we burn each petal to give them an interesting, finished shape.

We collect flowers from blanks. We put beads and beads on the fishing line, then thread the two ends of the fishing line into blanks.

We fix the flower from the wrong side with one bead, we pull the fishing line towards each other.

From a plastic bottle we cut out the bases - droplets for a future pendant or for earrings.

Poke holes around the perimeter.

We will braid the base-droplet with beads. We cut off about 1 m of fishing line, pick up 1 bead at the tip, tie it 2-3 times stronger and cut it off, leaving the tip at 1 cm. And melt the tip a little with a lighter.

We do not touch the uppermost hole on the workpiece, in the next we draw a fishing line with a bead and collect 4-5 beads. We wrap the edge of the workpiece and thread the fishing line into the next hole. Thus, we braid the whole droplet.

Now we fix the flower. We pass both ends of the fishing line back through a hole in the workpiece - a droplet.

We fix with one bead, threading the fishing line towards each other, tie the fishing line into 2-3 knots. We cut the line.

Making such jewelry is actually not a very difficult task. And these decorations look amazing. I suggest you see what decorations we have made from plastic bottles.

Wire, paper and cutlery to replace gold, silver and pearls. Yes, it is possible if you are going to make jewelry that will really be author's and unique. Color, shape and style - all this will depend only on your desire.

To make wire You only need one tool - needle nose pliers. With the help of them, a piece of wire (copper or decorative) can be given any desired shape. Its length should be chosen depending on the complexity of the intended design of future earrings. You should start work from the middle of a piece of wire, gradually making various patterns with the help of needle nose pliers. At the end of the product, a special hook should be made for attaching the earring to the earlobe. Having honed your skills, you can safely go out into the street in such handicrafts - this original and bold decoration will not go unnoticed.

You often paid attention to what beautiful beads women wear in African countries. It is quite possible to make such a decoration with your own hands, but for this you will need the following: scissors, several wooden sticks, multi-colored paper, glue and threads.

The first thing to do in order to have beautiful African paper beads- it is necessary to cut colored sheets into strips of the same size. Then the strips are wound on a wooden stick so that the paper fits it as tightly as possible. Previously, all sheets are impregnated with PVA glue in order to give strength to the future bead. Then you should wait a little while until the blanks for African beads dry out. Having made a sufficient number of beads, you just need to remove them from the sticks and string them on a thread or cord.

Beautiful and pendants are a fashion boom this summer. To surprise all her friends, a young girl does not have to spend a lot of money on jewelry. You can, with a little imagination, make pendant on a chain from a spoon.

To do this, you should initially select the chain on which our craft will be attached. We bite off the handle of the spoon with needle nose pliers almost completely, leaving a small part for the hook that will fix the chain. We bend the edge of the handle so that the bottom of the spoon is completely visible and not deformed. The base can be decorated with a beautiful rhinestone or other decorative element.

Brooch made of pieces of jeans and fabric will perfectly decorate any clothes, becoming an accessory that will complete the creation of a unique image.

Several large flowers and one small one are cut out of denim. One free-form flower is cut out of contrasting fabric. A piece of pre-prepared fabric is folded and sewn to a large fabric flower. Having given the pieces of denim the shape of a flower, we also sew them to the fabric base. The brooch is attached to clothing with a regular pin or a special lining. By increasing the number of elements, you can achieve the desired volume and contrast of colors from crafts.

Handmade accessories will be a great gift for friends or yourself. Such jewelry can be made from improvised materials that we use in everyday life. Designer jewelry will always attract attention, showing the style and taste of their owner.

Handmade jewelry always looks original, stylish and attracts the attention of others. Many do not undertake such creativity due to the lack of imagination and certain skills, however, guided by the master classes presented below, it will be very easy to make a beautiful decoration on your own at home.

At the initial stage, you need to fix the pin on the cork so that it is convenient to hang the bottle on a string. To do this, the pin should be well smeared with glue and stuck into the cork, as shown in the photo.

Then twist the free part of the pin into a ring using round-nose pliers, while paying attention to the diameter of this ring - the chain on which the pendant will hang should easily pass through it. If the size of the pin does not allow making a sufficient diameter of the ring, then an additional ring of the required diameter can be made from the wire and attached to the pin.

Then the fun begins - the choice of contents for the bottle. Here fantasy can roam freely, but we suggest investing something small or something memorable there. The original key, dried flowers, beads, beads, sequins and sequins will look good.

• 6 laces of different textures and shades;
• chain;
• meter or tape measure;

First, it is better to collect large bean patterns, and fill the gaps between them and small patterns with beads.

After the blank is completely glued, it needs to be given time to dry, and then, using a clerical knife, cut the plastic strictly along the edge of the product. With a hole punch at the extreme points of the necklace in plastic, it is necessary to make holes and insert chain links into them.

Fold the pieces of beads so that one end is shorter than the other and carefully sew them to the fabric of the hoop.

At the edges of the hoop, there should be segments of beads of maximum length, and in the middle - the shortest. In this case, the transition from the edges to the center should be performed very smoothly.

When all the segments of the beads are fixed, you need to sew or glue a piece of fabric on the inside of the choker, which will hide all the seams.

The ever-changing fashion has once again turned its benevolent gaze on handicrafts. Crooked, but itself - this phrase is on the wave again. But why is it crooked? You can do everything neatly and beautifully. Exclusive jewelry will be the pride of any hostess. So, how to make jewelry with your own hands?

Types of jewelry

Jewelry is traditionally referred to as jewelry. Rings, bracelets, pendants, barrettes, necklaces, earrings, belts, cell phone and key pendants, to name a few.

Decorating your home for the holiday is another field for applying your abilities. Especially if it's Christmas decorations. There is no limit to fantasy these days!

Not so long ago, there was a time when any products of their own hands were considered the lot of the poor. But now handmade, or hand-made (handmade), again takes its rightful place. And this is true: serial products are replicated according to one template, therefore their design is simple and primitive - it is easier to repeat it many times. But you can work hard on handmade products - this is the only copy, and its design is unique. Such products keep the warmth of the hands of the craftswoman, so they are respectfully called copyright.

The benefits of handmade

Of course, if you know how to do wonderful things, then there is no need to talk about the benefits. Jewelry can be safely worn on weekdays and holidays, a variety of products will decorate the interior, high-quality items can be safely presented to relatives, friends and acquaintances. But not always and not all handicrafts are really admirable. And it's still worth doing.

Firstly, any hobby is useful (as psychologists say). It enables creative self-realization, develops taste and imagination. Secondly, showing children how to make jewelry with their own hands, you can have a great time - any family will benefit from it. Thirdly, manual work, the process of creativity helps to relieve the stress that is usual for a city dweller. And therefore - we relax for the benefit of the business!

Three E

In order for hand-made jewelry to really please the eye and warm the heart, you need to create them according to the principle of three “Es”: extravagance, exclusivity, selfishness.

Extravagance. Each hand-made product simply must be unique. This is achieved by an unconventional selection of materials, or a bold combination of colors, or an original idea. Brightness and catchiness will benefit the handicraft.

Exclusivity. Models created according to their original ideas look best. Beginning craftswomen will find ideas from printed sources and the Internet useful. Everyone started by copying ready-made samples. The next step is to make creative adjustments to the finished models. As soon as you want to create something of your own, come up with something new, it means that you have grown to the title of Master.

Selfishness. Let's not be afraid of this word. In our context, it has a positive meaning. Recall that "ego" is translated simply: "I". So any handmade jewelry should match your taste, your passions, and finally, your style. Why should your wedding decorations be like everyone else's? They can be made unique, just like you!

What are they made of...

For handicrafts, the range of materials is basically unlimited. We will conditionally divide it into three groups: material for decoration, material-accessories, material for the base. Let's take jewelry as an example.

For decoration we use:

• beads,
• all kinds of beads from any material, any color, any shape,
• stones of different geometry,
• feathers and fluff
• buttons of various shapes and sizes,
• corks (from painted and lacquered corks to create jewelry in folklore style),
• natural material: shells, tree branches with an original shape.

Fittings (i.e. fasteners and related materials):

• Carnations and pins
• Clips and locks,
• Rings and carabiners,
• Tubes and stoppers
• Metal pendants.

You can buy all this in specialized stores selling goods for hand-made, or in shops like "All for Sewing".

Jewelry base:

• Special bases for rings, earrings, bracelets,
• Chains, ribbons, fishing line, laces, wire.

For inspiration, take a look at these works. Many models can delight and awaken to creativity.

In this article, we will talk about how to decorate your home with your own hands. Our master classes will help you to realize ready-made ideas, and to be inspired to create your own - a selection of photos with a lot of cool decorations.

Undoubtedly, accessories play an important role in interior design: vases, interesting details, multi-colored decorative pillows, figurines, etc. So that they do not turn into simple "dust collectors", it is not necessary to invite a designer. With this task, if desired, you can cope on your own. The main thing here is to keep the decorations in the same style, which would not stand out from the general interior of the room or the whole house.

In addition, each room needs an individual solution. For example, such frivolous decorations as decorative amulets, fruits, wicker baskets are not suitable for a living room. These accessories will look better as kitchen decor.

We sew a decorative pillow for the living room

One of the most functional decorations for a living room are pillows (see photo). In addition, they have great aesthetic value. They can be made from contrasting materials or be matched to match the main color of the interior. Such decorative pillows can be made by hand. Even a novice needlewoman can handle this.

For the manufacture of pillows, almost any material you like is suitable, but it must meet certain criteria:

• perfectly keep the shape;
• be resistant to washing;
• be hypoallergenic.

Another concern is to correctly select the material for the filler. It is better to give preference here to foam rubber and silicone. And one more thing: it is better to prefer a dense material for a pillowcase, while its color, if possible, should be light, without patterns. Cotton is the best choice here.

Having decided on the material, we proceed to the selection of the shape of the pillow. It all depends on your personal preferences, as well as on the interior of the room. So, if it is designed in a strict classical style, then pillows in the style of patchwork.

The most popular types of pillows:

1. square;
2. round;
3. rectangular.

We turn to sewing pillows.

Advice! The most successful seam for sewing covers and pillowcases will be linen. We combine the parts and sew them right sides up. Gently iron them, then sew them down. The crumbling edge of the material will thus be inside the seam. This protects it from shedding.

Master class for children

The children's room gives a huge choice for imagination and the implementation of ideas, because children love bright and original things so much. And if you involve them in performing simple crafts under your guidance, then this process will turn into a real game.

Consider some ideas on how to make a toy with your own hands. It will become not only an original decoration for a child's room, but also a true friend for your child.

Materials you will need:

• fabric of two colors (it is advisable to choose one that does not shrink when washed);
• sewing accessories;
• buttons;
• filler (suitable synthetic winterizer).

Advice! Choose a pattern in advance or make it yourself to make the toy more accurate.

Then cut out the pattern and transfer it to the material. In order to make the toy ears, nose and paws, you can use a fabric of a different color, you can contrast it.

We carry out the grinding of the details of the head with our own hands. The front of the head is formed by three parts. We grind the front and back parts, not forgetting about the insertion of pre-prepared ears. We fill the toy with filler gradually, when assembling individual parts. And you will get a toy, as in the photo above.

Decorations for a private home

Paper Home Decoration Ideas

We offer an original version of the decoration, for which you will need the following:

• decorative paper;
• ribbons, lace;
• fabric for decorations made of paper for the interior;
• Photo;
• various handy materials.

With the help of these simple materials, you can beautifully decorate any piece of furniture, but we suggest decorating an old, unnecessary suitcase. This will be an unexpected solution for the interior of the living room or bedroom, or kitchen. And, in addition, it will serve to store various things.

Just carefully cover the outside of the suitcase with paper and cloth. For decoration, you can randomly stick photos on it, and decorate the edges with ribbons, braid, lace. Such a suitcase decorated with paper can be made in any style (see photo).
