The advantages of homemade crafts for the countryside

Of course, garden figurines and garden and vegetable garden decoration items can be bought in the store. But much is easy to make yourself. So you can have a great time in the winter, remembering the summer days, or find activities during the fleeting rain, to be with children, showing them the basics of needlework.

Most often use plastic bottles, tires, remnants of boards, stumps, old toys, kitchen tools and anything else that fell on the eyes of the Zealous host (or hostess).

Very often the neighbors are also infected by the desire to do something unusual, so that soon the entire gardening community pleases the eye with cute things that lift the spirits.

And lastly: original handicrafts highlight the plot and make it a great place to relax, becomes a stylish place where relatives and friends are happy to come.

Old furniture

Unneeded or badly shabby furniture can once again serve as an unusual flowerbed. You can remove the doors of your grandmother's old truffle, pull out half the drawers, and put flower pots in them or make a doll's house inside. Pots can be installed on the top surface, and the existing mirror can be painted with cute patterns.

The only thing you have to take care of is to protect the wood from rain and other moisture. To do this, cover the piece of furniture with a thick layer of paint, stain or varnish. Or you can do it all together. Such a thing can be placed even on the veranda, if it is on the lighted side.

Such a novelty of the exterior of the plot will make the dacha a very attractive and unusual place.

As such a flowerbed, you can use an old table, chair, ladder, construction pallets leaned against the wall.

Unwanted household items

Old kettles and buckets can, of course, scrap, or you can make them into funny flowerbeds.

To make a "camp fire," you only need three sticks (they are easy to find in the nearest woods). Two of them should have slings, on which the third stick with a pot, kettle, bucket, mayonnaise bucket is hung. The container is filled with earth and ampel plants are planted there.

The fire itself is surrounded by large enough stones, put inside a pole or cone, plant small red or orange flowers. Scarlet scraps of fabric can also act as flame tongues.

Unusual flowerbeds can even be made out of unwanted women's purses or suitcases.

Old unused barrels can be painted in the form of Matryoshka dolls or fancy minions, patterns or flowers. Those who are friendly with brushes and paints can paint entire paintings on such surfaces. If the Creator did not give such a talent, you can simply paint the barrel with different colored stripes horizontally, vertically or at an angle, to create a rainbow.

Beautiful items like this can be used as an inventory store (everything will be in plain sight) or a litter box for large debris. Or take it out to the garden and use it as a tall flowerbed.

Even old water troughs are used. They can be used as framing paths or hanging flowerbeds on the walls of houses and gazebos or on tree branches, secured with strong ropes or chains.

Old shoes are wonderful to turn into fun flowerbeds. It's enough to paint it (bright rubber boots can be left unpainted), pour soil and plant undemanding flowers.Such flowerbeds decorate garden paths, places along the fence or any free space in the garden.

From several pairs of old shoes you can make a funny doggie or a cheerful giraffe, which will welcome residents and guests who come to the site.Cracked flower or kitchen pots can be placed on the ground and make them a river of flowers.

• a bridge over a flowerbed or dry stream;
• a car, cart, or flower train;

Car tires

Also a great material for decorating the garden plot. The easiest way to create round flowerbeds from them by filling the center with earth. Or you can pretty paint them in all the colors of the rainbow, lay out a path or staircase, make hanging vertical or horizontal beds.
