Creating a cozy atmosphere in your home is truly an exciting experience. With the help of various little things and decorative items, you can complement the interior or decorate the room to your taste. It’s especially nice to use something you’ve made with your own hands.
Stylish frame for the mirror
A mirror is something that can be found in every home. Without it, you can not do in the bathroom, hallway. And, of course, this is an indispensable attribute of the women's table. But it often happens that the shape of the mirror is perfect, and the frame does not fit the overall style. If you encounter such a problem, be sure to try to do it yourself.
We will prepare the necessary materials:
- mirror frame;
- napkin for decoupage;
- acrylic lacquer;
- glue;
- sandpaper;
- scissors;
- paint white.
Paint the frame with white paint and leave to dry completely. We process sandpaper irregularities. Cut a square from the napkin to the frame size. We separate the lower layers from it, since we will use only the upper one.
Using a brush, apply glue to the top of the frame. We carefully apply the napkin so as not to tear it. Leave it to dry completely. Cut out the inner part of the napkin where the mirror will be located.
Acrylic varnish cover the surface in several layers. If necessary, remove the sandpaper irregularities.
If desired, you can glue the decorative element.
Pompom mat
Of course, the choice of different mats in specialized stores is huge. But their cost is quite high. If you are faced with this situation, then it's time to turn on the fantasy and do it yourself.
To do this, you will need:
- wool threads of any shade;
- mesh for rug;
- scissors.
The main thing is to make a lot of pompons. Their number depends on the size of the rug you want to create.
When all the pompons are prepared, proceed to the connection of parts. Alternately bind each of them to the grid. By the way, if you wish, you can make a beautiful gradient or even a drawing.
So that there are no knots on the reverse side, you can sew any fabric to it.
Stylish napkins
No guest reception is complete without wipes. But sometimes the classic version in white is annoying and I want to make some variety. Especially in the summertime, bright colors and unusual solutions will be relevant. Therefore, we offer to make a stylish decor that will surely attract the attention of your friends and relatives.
We need:
- napkins of white color;
- acrylic paints in green, black and red;
- scissors;
- thin brush;
- two foam brushes;
- household sponge;
- marker.
Using a marker, we draw watermelon slices on a sponge. And the flesh and the crust need to be drawn separately from each other. If necessary, you can use the stencil. Carefully cut out the details with scissors.
Squeeze out a little paint of different shades on a flat surface.
Apply foam paint with a red paint on a sponge.
We print this element on a napkin, tightly pressing the sponge. We try to do it in any order.
Apply paint green on another element of the sponge. We print it on a napkin, leaving a small space near the red element.
We leave the napkins to dry and proceed to the drawing of the seeds. For this we use a thin brush.
Stunningly beautiful summer napkins are ready!
