Ideas for creating interior items from old things
The combination of two dissimilar things can giveamazing results, especially considering that both objects are old and unnecessary junk, and in the end you can get a new, original piece of furniture with your own hands! Below are a couple of ideas for the home, using a combination of several unexpected items together. Knitted sweater + stool = soft chairOld ugly stools in a fabulous waytransformed into stylish soft chairs of bright colors. For such decor of old furniture you will need a knitted sweater, foam rubber (or old pillows of the right size) and a stapler for attaching materials to the wood. The main thing in the work is to process the edges of the sweater well so that during the use of the furniture the new cover does not unravel. Wooden board + glass jars = chandelierA simple and economical idea for making a lamp with your own hands. Screw hooks into a board of the desired size, to which you hang jars of different sizes on cords. Hang the entire structure on chains from the ceiling, and pass a light bulb through the central hole of the new chandelier! I would also fill the jars with different beads, glitter, pebbles, ribbons, colored fabric, some of them can be completely or partially painted with stained glass paints. This way, multi-colored highlights will play in the room. I will have to tell the author of the idea.Old T-Shirts + Special Canvas = Rug This project requires a lot of t-shirts and patience, but the results are worth it.To create such an original rug, the author needed:
- 50 small t-shirts
- 20 T-shirts of size XL and XXL
- 3 hooks with a latch (the first two broke)
- 1 bag of dark orange dye
- special canvas - canvas for crocheting 90 cm by 120 cm
- 85 hours of work between March and July
- 6 600 stripes of T-shirts with a length of 6.3 cm
The idea of creating such a carpet with your own handsarose from the need to do something with 300 cotton T-shirts with the logo of a church that no longer exists. The first step is to dye the T-shirts the desired color, then cut them into thousands of small strips. According to the author of this carpet, figure out how many T-shirts you will need for the carpet and multiply this number by two. And even then, it is not a fact that this amount will be enough for such a soft and fluffy floor covering.The stripes are woven into the canvas using a special hook, which can be purchased at sewing stores.
