Arrangement of a summer residence and a garden, own farmstead — not stopping process. All the time something is being altered, changed, decorated. This article contains crafts for the garden and cottages that will make your possessions unique. That is what makes the things made by their urks good, that they are unique and unrepeatable.
Vertical flower garden
Decorating a fence, a wall of a country or garden house, a utility block is not an easy task. One of the options from the “cheap and cheerful” category is to make a vertical flower garden. Bags or small containers filled with soil are hung on any vertical or inclined surface. Similar crafts for the garden and cottages are good because you can attach any rubbish - bottles, boxes, pipe trimmings. From all this you can make original planters.
Most often, ampelous flowering or green plants are planted on such flowering walls. Unpretentious ordinary petunias and pelargoniums are best suited. They also plant surfinia (very similar to petunia) and nasturtium. They bloom for a long time and do not require special care. Suitable for any herbaceous plants with long hanging lashes.
So what else can you make the basis for a vertical flower garden? Yes, from anything. Everything that can be poured into with at least a little earth. See for yourself.
Flower pots
Plastic or clay pots remained - it doesn't matter. Even if they are old and unsightly, they can be painted with some fun paint. And if they are also of different sizes, you get a very original panel.
Hanging a pot on a stretched chain-link mesh is a matter of a couple of minutes. All you need is a piece of wire.
Plastic vessels can be nailed through, although this is not a good idea. For clay or ceramic ones, you will have to make a “holder” from wire - a circle that can be attached to a wall / fence, or can be hung on ropes from a crossbar. In general, only here there are a lot of options. Such crafts for the garden and cottage do not take much time, and the result is pleasing to the eye.
Cans
Tin cans of different formats and sizes are not a problem to find. Small and medium ones can be used in the form of cylinders, and large or long ones can be cut in half lengthwise or remove a third of the radius from one side. It's the way you like it best.
Paint jars in fun colors - very good at it
Mounting methods are the same as for pots: smaller ones can be fixed on stands, larger ones can be hung. Use junk material - tin cans - and make attractive and useful crafts for the garden and summer cottages out of them ... Is this not the height of pleasure.
Plastic bottles
How without them? We twist the lid, cut off about a third from the long side. The mounting method is described above. There is another option with minimal damage to the wall. Knock down a lattice of wooden planks. Fix this grate on the wall, and attach bottles to it with self-tapping screws or carnations.
A wall of flowers - hang on the frame and wait until there is more greenery. Attach to the slats (left) or one to one (right). Take a closer look at the second option - there is a built-in irrigation system - a thin tube with holes for water outlet is missed from top to bottom
If the bottles are from milk or kefir - there are no problems, the plastic is opaque, the root system will be comfortable in it. To drain excess moisture, it will be necessary to make several holes in the lower part. They can be made with a nail heated on fire. Fast and hassle free. If the bottles are transparent, it is desirable to paint them. The roots do not like the abundance of light. You can use ordinary paint (preferably acrylic, it even falls on bottles easily), but it’s faster to work with spray cans. It's better to paint outside. Inside, the paint will quickly decompose.
From fabric
From burlap, any more or less dense fabric, a bag with pockets under the ground is sewn. You can use an old organizer (for shoes, toys, etc.). With these candidates for vertical flower beds, in general, everything is simple: we fasten with nails / screws through the bar (otherwise the fabric will tear). After we fill the pockets with soil and plant flowers.
You can sew or use linen bags. Hang them on hooks. You can plant plants in them from above and / or make holes in the sidewall. If sewing is not your forte, enterprising Chinese sew such bags under hanging flower beds. Such crafts for the garden and cottage require more effort - bags / bags are usually sewn. But the flowering wall looks unforgettable.
Cutting sewer or drainpipes
We take plastic pipes. We cut them in half lengthwise and get two long containers for planting. If there are no own leftovers, you can buy trimmings on the market, from construction teams. You need small pieces, so this beauty will not cost much.
Plastic pipes can be used as a bed for pots - drill holes in them for a pot.
You just need to figure out how to close the edges. The easiest way is the bottoms of a plastic bottle. Find the right size, cut so that 2-3 cm of the walls remain, put on the edges and fasten. Can be attached with small screws. They cut through plastic well.
small wooden boxes
Wooden boxes can be hung in two ways. The first is to fix one of the sides like a regular box. The second is to hang not like a box, but like a frame - sideways. The second option gives more options: you can pour earth directly into the boxes, or you can use them as coasters for any other containers with flowers.
A panel of boards and boxes with flowers - stylish Crafts for a summer residence and a garden - such hanging boxes will decorate both the wall of the house and the barn
If your wall is beautiful and you don’t want to get it dirty, you can assemble something like a panel from the boards, on which you can already fix the boxes. This option is no longer a good idea. It is also suitable for a solid yard. Wood and greenery looks very attractive. And so that the boards do not darken, treat them with wood oil with a dye. Such a coating needs to be updated infrequently, and the old impregnation does not need to be removed.
Ideas for flower beds from old things (photo)
As it turned out, a flower bed can be made from everything. Even old pants, a bicycle, a boat, an old chandelier, a chest of drawers, a chair, a kitchen table are used ... And this is not an ordinary standard flower bed, but an art object that few will forget. There are some very interesting ideas. These crafts for the garden and cottages will definitely be remembered by everyone.
From cargo pallets, you can create a wall that will cover the south wall from the hot sun and plant plants on it. Even old chandeliers sometimes bloom ... Using an old cart for planting is not too new, but it always looks fresh Decorate the fence by pinning an old bicycle to it ... and plant flowers "In the bike" Ancient piano stale in the bushes? From it you can make not only a flower garden, but also a waterfall ... Do you have an old boat? Make a bed out of it... The problem of recycling old shoes is always acute - and there is no one to give it to and it's a pity to throw it away... Even an old suitcase can become an interesting flower bed
Tellingly, such crafts for the garden and cottages also help to get rid of trash. Maybe it's worth considering everything available for use in this vein?
Column-flower bed
Flowering columns look very beautiful. Petunia and pelargonium are usually planted in them. These two types of flowers bloom profusely almost throughout the entire vegetative period. Against the backdrop of lush greenery, an abundance of flowers of different shades catches the eye. At first glance, you will not guess how such a column was created. In fact, everything is simple.
Need a metal wire mesh 2-3 mm in diameter. A column is formed from it - the mesh is twisted into a cylinder, fixed. A bag is inserted inside (you can use a thick plastic one, but linen is better), into which the earth is poured.
For more uniform soil moisture, a piece of drainage pipe is inserted into the high columns in the middle. It differs in that its surface is perforated and water will pass through it perfectly. So, a pipe segment is inserted in the center, covered with soil from all sides. In this design, watering the flowering column is not a problem. It is necessary for a couple of minutes to throw the hose inside, into this pipe, and the water will distribute itself through the holes.
You can make it easier - take a plastic pipe of large diameter, cut holes in it ...
Plants are planted from above and into holes cut on the sides. The distances between plants are not too large - so that the column takes the required form faster.
garden figurines
What besides flowers decorates our yard, garden? Yep, different figures. In this section, we will consider new crafts for the garden and cottages in this area.
From plastic bottles
Decorative figurines for the garden and cottages are made from a variety of materials, but most of all crafts are made from plastic bottles. There are a lot of them, and in different formats and very plastic material, this thin plastic. In addition, it can be painted, which further expands the possibilities.
Elephant from a plastic bottle…needs an old hose from a vacuum cleaner for a trunk Plastic bottle people are for those who have artistic skills Piglets and hares are an eternal theme for the garden Not so difficult…PET bottle snake is something new More a variant of penguins and wasps ... If fresh flowers have not yet bloomed ...
In addition to plastic bottles, garden figurines can be made from wood, old pots, flower pots, bowls, buckets, cones, painted stones. In general, from what ordinary people throw into a landfill. But in vain. From all this, very interesting crafts for the garden and cottages are obtained.
Gypsum and cement mortar figurines
On sale there is plaster for sculptures. It is ideal for making garden figurines. But it is expensive, but it hardens quickly and has a smooth surface. Instead of special gypsum, you can use building or even a mixture of cement and sand. The cement figurines will be dark gray, so you will have to use dark or saturated colors. Under light paints it will be necessary to apply several layers of light soil. But cement is more durable.
Working with plaster and cement
It is necessary to dilute gypsum in the proportions indicated on the package. Just keep in mind, it seizes very quickly. Immediately after mixing, it must be poured into molds, so first prepare all the molds, then just dilute the gypsum mixture. After about 40 minutes, the gypsum will harden enough that it can be removed from the mold. So making garden figurines from gypsum is a quick process.
To lighten the figurine and to save gypsum, you can insert some kind of vessel inside ...
With cement, it's different. For 1 part of cement grade M400 or M500, you need to take 4-5 parts of fine dry sifted sand. In a dry state, mix the mixture until the sand turns evenly gray (there is white cement and even pink). Only then can water be added. It is taken 0.5-0.8 parts. There are no exact proportions of water, since sand can be of different humidity, and the composition itself can be of varying degrees of fluidity. After filling the form, you will have to wait a few days. At least 3-4 (at a temperature of about +20°C), and preferably 5-7 days. So to make garden figurines out of cement, be patient.
Registration
In a frozen form, the figures can be painted with acrylic paints. You have to apply two coats of paint, and then cover with yacht varnish. In this form, garden figurines retain the brightness of colors for several years.
To work with gypsum, you need to know one secret. In order for the figure to easily get out of the handicap, the inner walls are lubricated with a mixture of soap, water and vegetable oil before pouring. Soap is rubbed on a grater, poured with water. When the chips soften, mix until smooth and add a little vegetable oil. Lubricate the mold from the inside with this mixture before pouring the diluted gypsum into it.
Plastic bottles are often used as molds. You can not stand on ceremony with them - cut with a knife or scissors. If a metal container is used, the walls must be lubricated thoroughly. If the surface does not have to be flat, it is easier to cover the container with cling film or a plastic bag. In this form, the workpiece is removed without any problems at all. While the gypsum is not yet completely dry, you can use something sharp (a needle, an awl, etc.) to form the desired relief on its surface.
If the surface should be smooth, but in fact it has flaws, we take sandpaper and get rid of irregularities. The process is long and dusty, so please be patient.
Foam figurines
Crafts for the garden and cottages from polyurethane foam appeared not so long ago. Low expansion foam is used. She barks a denser surface without big bubbles. Work with foam with gloves, as it adheres well to any materials. With skin too.

How and from what to make the base
To create a conceived figure, find the base that most closely resembles the object. It can be a plastic bottle, a piece of wood, even a coil of wire or a wad of paper. Sticks or thick wire are suitable for handles / paws / if you need to give a curved shape. For tails, a more suitable hose. to give it a stable shape, a sufficiently rigid wire is threaded inside.
Small details - ears, horns, etc. - can be cut out of cardboard, plastic, foam rubber. They can simply be inserted into the non-hardened foam, and then, after its polymerization, foamed. Before starting work with foam, all the details of the frame must be connected together. The aesthetics of the connection is absolutely unimportant - everything will be covered with foam. Strength is important so that some parts do not fall off.
Features of assembly and work with foam
If the base is a plastic bottle, pour sand into it so that the figure is not blown away by the wind. For the rest, you will have to come up with some kind of weighting coasters.
The gradual application of foam is the main thing to remember
Foam is applied to the assembled frame. Vertical or horizontal stripes, one not far from the other, but leaving room for expansion. The foam is laid in layers. The second layer is applied after the first has polymerized. The initial polymerization time is indicated on the packaging. Apply the first layer, correct, wait 20-50 minutes until the foam hardens, apply the second layer. And so on until you get the desired shape.
The meerkat is almost ready ... it remains to color
During operation, the shape of the foam can be adjusted. To do this, you can use a piece of plastic soaked in water, a plastic or silicone brush, whatever is convenient for you. For some figurines, a smooth surface is important. If smoothing does not help, the flaws can be cut off with a sharp clerical knife. The "wool" of hairy animals is also made from foam - it is applied in short strokes. In general, the creative process ...
How to paint
It is most convenient to paint garden figures from polyurethane foam with oil paint. It is necessary to cover in two layers. After it dries, it is desirable to cover in two layers with yacht varnish.
Cover the ball with foam, attach characteristic details - the bun is almost ready Eyes - small rubber balls covered with paint After painting, this is what we get
Just look, it gives all the colors a yellowish tint. If this does not suit you, look for another composition for external use, but colorless.
Functional crafts for summer cottage and garden - pallet garden furniture
Buying furniture for summer cottages in stores is not the best option. You won’t take an expensive one, a cheap one is made of fiberboard, which swells from moisture in an unheated room and the furniture becomes unusable. So it turns out that the best way out is to do it yourself. There are many ideas that allow you to get a very comfortable environment with minimal time and money.
A working table and a pallet swing are such crafts for a garden and a summer house from the category of “cheap and cheerful”
There are many strange things in our country. One of them is the use of wood for the manufacture of cargo pallets. You can buy used pallets quite inexpensively - they are written off after a certain period of time. It is from these pallets that you can make a table, a sofa, an armchair and many more different useful furniture. For sofas/armchairs, you will need to sew additional pillows or foam rubber mats, but this is not a problem for most. It is doubly pleasant to make such crafts for the garden and summer cottage - every time you get a charge of positive emotions when you see them, and even when you use them ...
Pallet handling
The wood used is not of the best quality, but it is many times better than fiberboard. Especially for a summer residence. So, we take a pallet, we grind wood. You can, of course, manually using sandpaper with different grains, but things will go faster if you use tools. Red emery wheels are suitable for a grinder, but processing will be better when used.
After grinding, we proceed to the initial stage of assembly, and then, before the final assembly, it will be possible to paint. Why not paint right away? Because during the manufacture of ideas come, for the implementation of which it is necessary to remove or add one or two or more planks. If the pallets are already painted, light/dark spots remain, which are then difficult to make the same color. In general, it is better to first try on what will be and how it will be, and paint everything before assembly.
You can paint with any wood paint, but do not forget about wood oils. They do not create a film of coloring matter on the surface, but penetrate inside, while protecting the wood and toning it. When using oils, the texture of the wood is not painted over, but appears brighter. The advantage is that the coating must be renewed without cleaning off the old one, but only by covering / impregnating the top layer. All in all, a good option if you want to keep the grain of the wood.
Connection methods
Pallets are connected to each other with nails or wood screws. In especially loaded places, you can use metal mounting plates - so that they do not move 100% relative to each other.
The inclination of the back in the manufacture of armchairs / sofas can be set using metal strips or corners welded at the desired angle. Maybe this is not very aesthetically pleasing, but it is reliable and fits perfectly into the overall style of "pallet" furniture. In general, everything is really easy, even if you have not done anything like this before.
Other Ideas Worth Considering
The theme of home-made country furniture is inexhaustible. Craftsmen from waste material do very interesting things. For example, a table made of a bunch of birch logs. A glass table top may be too much for a summer residence, but it’s very beautiful.
Developing this idea, you can use an interesting trunk, a few snags, etc. as a “leg”. Just do not forget to pre-soak the wood, and especially the bark, in antiseptic additives (which do not contain chlorine and dyes). Otherwise, the bugs living in it can quickly turn wooden walls into dust.
Another noteworthy table for washing the harvest. All summer residents are aware of how much effort goes into "washing root crops from the ground." An elegant solution to the problem is a special table, where a stainless steel mesh is fixed instead of a tabletop.
The smaller the cell, the smaller root crops can be washed. And in order not to carry dirt on the site, the area under the table can be concreted and runoff towards the beds, for example.
This is no longer a dull path or playground ... Painted stones are an interesting decoration
And not exactly furniture (more precisely, not furniture at all), but also interesting ideas that you can’t pass by - a tool shed from old doors, painted concrete tiles / asphalt, a chandelier from glass bottles, a broom from plastic bottles ...

Photos of country crafts:
Today, to create a truly amazing landscape design on a personal plot, it is absolutely not necessary to hire a professional and spend huge sums. After all, every owner of a country house or cottage can easily decorate the territory.
And you can do this with the help of crafts for the garden and garden, made by yourself, without the use of expensive materials. They look not only beautiful, but also original.
At the same time, no special skills are required to create them. It is enough just to have a desire and a little free time.
Unfortunately, many people are still convinced that creating beautiful things with their own hands is not only difficult, but also quite expensive. However, the designers are sure of the opposite. After all, the materials that are used to create crafts are almost never expensive.
The only exceptions are those cases when the owner of the site himself wants to use expensive materials. You can make sure that this is indeed the case after viewing the catalog, which contains all the new crafts for the garden and backyard.
Flowerbed made of stone
If ornamental vegetation grows on your personal plot, you can safely use such a flower bed. Any flower garden can attract attention if it is properly ennobled.
To create such a design, you do not need to use stones of the same size.
On the contrary, some negligence will look more impressive. Therefore, you can safely use cobblestones of different sizes.
Experts say that you can use stones of various shapes and colors to build a flower bed. However, it is strongly recommended to use materials from the same color range in order to create a truly sophisticated piece.
Pay attention to the photo of crafts for the garden, which shows this composition. If you look closely at the photo, you will notice that the flower bed is multi-layered. In other words, to create it, you will need to lay out not one layer, but several.
It is worth noting that you can not just lay out a flower bed in the form of a rectangle, square or circle. Having shown imagination, you can turn your flower garden into a kind of bowl, basket or flowerpot with such a wide neck that would fit several bushes with flowers.
In this case, it all depends on your imagination and the availability of free time.
wooden crafts
But a personal plot can be decorated not only with the help of stones. Wooden crafts for the garden, in which there are an abundance of flower beds, are especially popular. This option is also ideal for those people who have a damaged flower garden in the garden.
If there is no way to transfer it, then you can update it with the help of crafts. The simplest example is ordinary wooden fences, which consist of small boards or branches. You can design them quickly and easily.
If you have enough free time and materials in reserve, you can build not just a decorative fence, but a wicker basket or even a hut.
Any flower garden in a similar design will look luxurious. However, it is worth considering that when using such weaves, you should pay due attention to their fastening. Indeed, otherwise, you risk building an extremely flimsy structure that will not last long.
cute hedgehogs
You can use crafts from improvised materials as decorating elements for the garden, which look not only original, but also funny. A very popular craft is the hedgehog.
Note!
To make it, you will need an ordinary empty bottle and hemp rope for winding. To ensure that the ropes are securely fixed, staples or glue should be used as a binding element.
In order for the hedgehog to look as natural as possible, you should take care of such trifles as the nose and eyes.
Some masters are of the opinion that it is enough to paint these elements with black paint. However, if you want your craft to look as natural as possible, you can sew the eyes and nose separately.
You can attach them to the product with glue. Thus, the mount itself will be invisible, but at the same time very reliable.
Ordinary grass will serve as thorns for the hedgehog. Therefore, if you have several small accumulations of grass on your site that you don’t have time to clean, you can quite successfully disguise it with the help of this craft.
Note!
Plastic peacock - as the main decoration of the garden!
But not only hedgehogs can decorate your garden. A creative peacock-shaped bottle garden craft will become a real star and the center of the whole composition.
To create it, you will need to stock up on some set of materials:
- Multicolored plastic bottles.
- Multicolored tape.
- Wide tape.
- Synthetic foam.
- Glue gun.
- abrasive mesh.
- Plastic pipes.
Once you have purchased the entire set, you can start creating crafts. Cut out peacock feathers from plastic bottles. They should all be different sizes. Each feather should be cut along the edges to make a light fringe.
The body of the bird is cut out of foam. The joints that form in this case are sealed with a wide adhesive tape. We attach two plastic tubes that will serve as paws to the body.
The beak is cut out of the bottle and, after folding into a cone, is attached to the head. Next, using a glue gun, attach the feathers to the resulting figure.
Note!
Remember that the feathers on the chest should be shorter than those on the back and tail. You can decorate the tail with small oval parts cut out of colored electrical tape. The crest is made from a bottle and attached to the head.
Pay attention to the instructions on how to make a beautiful craft in the form of a peacock in the garden, which is presented below. It describes in detail and with illustrations the entire front of the work.
