1. Decoupage and other ideas for furniture repair yourself

Restoration of old chests and cupboards is, perhaps, one of the main trends of our time. Many pieces of furniture eventually fail: tables and chairs loosen the case, soft furniture is pushed and requires a new "filling". But chests and sideboards can stand for many years and bore you with their obsolete appearance.

Home craftsmen and masters of decoupage not only found a way to update the design of old furniture, but also built a fashion for the use of vintage "grandmother" chests in the interior. Detailed instructions on painting and decoupage can be found in our article Ideas for the restoration of Soviet furniture with their own hands.

2. Beautiful things for the house with their own hands: carpets

Perhaps, the most pleasant thing in creating things for the house with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you get such beauty? A stylish rug with a print of a zebra (or another motive of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And not once.

Next you will be surprised at how easy it can be done with your own hands.

The fabric can be any. The main thing is that she was not too demanding in care: she was not afraid of moisture and was easily cleaned. In this case, the wizard chose a vinyl cloth. It is heavy enough and strong to look like a true carpet. Moreover, the quality of vinyl is very impressive these days and it is available in a wide choice of colors and interesting textures.

All necessary materials and tools:

• Heavy paper;
• Upholstery fabric made of vinyl;
• Scissors;
• 2 Krylon handles or ordinary paint for fabric.

Procedure:

1. Create a stencil out of paper. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the picture itself on it. Do not worry about your artistic talent - zebra skin and should not look homogeneous or symmetrical. In extreme cases, the pattern can be copied from the picture on the Internet or even printed to cut.
2. Fasten the stencil on the vinyl fabric and trail the contours of the strips with Krylon handles (apply paint with an aerosol or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue to color the areas inside the contours.
3. Let the paint dry out and it's ready! For more confidence that the pattern will hold, you can "seal" the carpet by spraying a transparent coating of acrylic spray paint on it.

Handles Krylon create on the surface of fabrics a tremendous effect of gold leaf. In addition, the paint in them quickly dries up and is very securely held. If you can not buy them in your city, then use ordinary paint for fabrics or walls. As the next hero of our article.

He took as a basis a cheap white rug and decided to give it an interesting look with his hands with the help of a chevron pattern. All he needed was a thin adhesive tape, scissors, a thick brush and latex paint of two different shades.

Finally, another inspiring example, in which an improvised stamp is used instead of a stencil. The master had a rubber bath mat, the remains of paint for the walls (to achieve a vintage effect, it was slightly diluted with water), a roller and an old IKEA wool carpet. Look at the photo that he was able to cook from these ingredients.

3. Unusual "marble" crafts with their own hands (photo)

In our article Modern interior items: trends 2016 you could find out that the effect of marble is extremely fashionable. But who would have thought that it could be achieved with the usual nail polish? And apply not only in manicure, but also to create a beautiful decor for the house with their own hands.

What you need:

• Object for painting (any dishes, flower pots and other hard, slightly absorbent items);
• Minimum 2 nail polishes of any shade of your choice;
• Transparent nail polish or clever enamel;
• Disposable plastic or other container;
• Nail polish remover;
• Thin adhesive tape;
• Toothpicks.

Procedure:

1. With adhesive tape, we limit the area that will be stained.
2. Pour water into a disposable container. We open all the bubbles of nail polish, except for clear, and start to drip with paint from the brush in the water, one color at a time. The layer of each next color must be applied over the previous one.
3. Take the toothpick and draw a few strips from center to edge (see the photo below). Act quickly, as the varnish will begin to harden very soon.
4. Immerse the bottom of the cookware (bounded by a ribbon) in the resulting pattern on the water. Let it gather around from all sides of the object, then gently pull it out and leave it to dry.
5. Before you paint the next object, remove the remaining varnish from the toothpick and repeat the previous steps.
6. When your new decor completely dries, fix the marble pattern with a layer of clear varnish. When this layer also dries, remove the adhesive tape and clean the occasional varnish stains with a removal fluid.

We will give you an example of one very interesting method of dyeing a fabric, when, as a result, it acquires a fashionable ombre effect.

In this case, the master used RIT dyes for fabric, but you can apply any others. To make the pillowcases lighter and faster absorb the paint, it is recommended that they be thoroughly moistened with water. To achieve the effect of "Ombre" in a container with a diluted dye, we dip the pillowcase by about 2/3 of the length, then immediately remove it from the liquid by another 5 cm. Leave in this position for about 5 minutes, after which we take another 5 cm. And so until the end, until the pillowcase is completely removed from the dye. The result of the wizard is shown in the photo on the left.
