Autumn, the perfect time to start a new hobby, and DIY, the easiest and cheapest technique for it. What more could you ask for?
We are starting a new season, we feel like being more at home, enjoying every corner of the house and working on hobbies that make us feel happy and create beautiful and useful things.
For people who love handicrafts (currently called DIY, do it yourself), there are many options, especially if the result goes directly home as a decorative element.
Do-it-yourself home decorating
In addition to being a very entertaining activity, DIY is a good way to save some money, because instead of buying new items, we reuse others to give them a second chance..
Thanks to the hundreds and thousands of tutorials that currently exist on the Internet, it is easy to create wonderful things with few elements, and perhaps, little time as well.
One of the main bases of DIY is the care for the environment through our home, so it is important to know how to recycle and reuse everything that is necessary to decorate.
Today from habitissimo they show us 4 DIY ideas with recycled elements and others not, to help you get an original house and decorated to your taste, in addition to having a green home.
- Stairs transformed into shelves
The favorite element of every self-respecting handyman. A ladder. It is an easy and inexpensive way to get an original shelf when the ladder is old and unused. We don’t need to throw them away, just enhance their beauty. It is a structure more than usable to organize at home and get, in addition to a shelf, a coat rack, a closet uncovered … With a coat of varnish will be more than enough, do not cover those chipping that has, makes it unique and with personality.
- Original rustic paintings
We move on to the second ideal for decorating our home with a little skill and DIY. The idea is to make a painting to our taste with rustic touches. If you live near areas where you can get wood planks, this craft will be a piece of cake. As you can see in the photograph, we only need to have boards of similar size and width, join them together and silk-screen print what we are most passionate about on top, with white paint and a little dedication.
- Wooden bench
This is perhaps the most complex handicraft, but the most beautiful in terms of result. It is a piece of furniture for outdoor use, although it can also be used in an indoor area of the home. With only three pieces of sturdy wood we will get an ideal structure to relax on the porch or terrace and get a unique piece that will be the focus of all eyes.
- Flower pots made of jars
The most common, we believe, of all the DIY crafts out there. In addition to elements currently in trend, the jars are the perfect excuse to have at home natural elements that before we did not dare to put in. Glass jars have a good storage capacity and give a personal touch to the house. You can take advantage of their transparency, or decorate them as you see fit. We can also use jars as candle holders or as storage in general.
