Dacha is not only a place where you grow vegetables and fruits. On the standard six acres (and some may have more) you can let your imagination unleash for real! In the country, you can bring to life a variety of and, at times, even wild ideas. Many of them will not only decorate your garden, but will also be very useful in the hard work of a gardener. And most importantly, country homemade products will give new life to things that, it would seem, are long overdue to go to a landfill.

From what can you create country crafts with your own hands? Now you will be surprised, but everything can be used! Do not rush to throw things in the trash that have served their time or at first glance seem like garbage. Imagine a little - maybe this old shoe is still good for something?

Things	Transformation Ideas
Plastic bottles	Lemonade, milk, juice bottles are perfect as any details for creating interesting figures, as well as for creating fences around beds or an irrigation system. The material from which they are made is very durable and moisture resistant and will last more than one season in the country.
Milk boxes	Excellent "pots" for seedlings! This has been known to gardeners for many years.
old shoes	Create original flower pots from the "battalion" of old shoes.
Tires	Car tires can be used not only as flower beds: you can create amazing animals and birds from them, and if you sheathe them with fabric or twine, you will get excellent seats.
Lumber trimmings	There is no need to burn the remains of the boards in the oven - it is better to use them to decorate the fence, creating an interesting ornament, or to create small flower beds, paths, shelves.
old technology	The skeleton of an ordinary Soviet bicycle, a rusty car, a broken motorcycle do not have to be scrapped - arrange them as a flower bed!
aluminum cans	Of these, you can make a device that repels moles. It is enough to put a jar on a stick buried in the ground.
Broken glass	Colored broken glass will help decorate the fence: drill holes in the boards and insert glass pieces there. On a sunny day, you won't recognize your fence!
Plastic bottle caps	They will help make the look of your country house unique. Create patterns using lids attached to the walls of the house with small studs.
Old clothes	Scarecrows are still in demand. Put together two slats crosswise, dig the frame of the scarecrow into the ground and dress it up in your old things. To make the scarecrow "kind", make him a pretty face and dress him in a colorful dress.
old rake	Do you have an old and rusty rake that has served its time? Don't rush to get rid of them. Hang it on the wall of a barn or house and you will have a great hanger for garden tools.

Now it's time to give more detailed instructions for creating various country homemade products that serve both to decorate the estate and bring considerable benefits.

Do-it-yourself mini-pond

A do-it-yourself mini-pond, vaguely reminiscent of a fabulous swamp where the Frog Princess lives, is very easy to create. For this we need:

1. an old bathtub or other large water-tight container;
2. old slate;
3. old rubber hose;
4. a piece of polyethylene dense film;
5. stones, sand and other elements of "decor";
6. plants that live in water.

Technology for creating a mini pond on the site

1. We bury the bath so that its edges are flush with the ground.
2. We dig in slate around the bathtub so that its edges are 20 centimeters higher than the surface of the earth.
3. We stretch a hose cut along the edge of the slate (it will protect the polyethylene from rupture).
4. We close the bathtub and slate with polyethylene, carefully spreading it along the bottom of the future reservoir. The edges of the film can be sprinkled with earth and pressed down with stones.
5. Pour water into the "reservoir".
6. We decorate with stones, plant around the plant, and water lilies can be placed in the pond itself.

Idea - a small pond on the site

Neat beds

Who doesn’t love it when the beds in the garden are not just raised above the ground, but also neatly decorated? Everything must be in order! We offer to decorate the beds with plastic bottles. We will need:

1. a lot of plastic bottles;
2. sand;
3. paint - optional;
4. shovel.

Work performance technology

1. Choose bottles of the same size and color. Colors can be combined as desired.
2. Fill the bottles halfway with sand.
3. Dig a shallow trench along the bed.
4. Place the bottles upside down in the trench and dig in.
5. You can paint the bottles with water-based paint, but this is not necessary.

"Safari"

Do you want lions and tigers, chubby pigs, bright bugs, giraffes and zebras to live in your country house? Bring the idea called "Safari" to life. An impromptu do-it-yourself zoo can be created using completely different objects. We will need:

• plastic bottles of different sizes;
• old tires;
• brushes and paint;
• stones of different sizes or old construction helmets, basins;
• shovel.

The most common representatives of the fauna that summer residents create are giraffe, zebra, pig, beetles. We will try to arrange them with you on our site.

Giraffe and zebra are made using the same technology. Differences - in the color and length of the neck of animals.

1. Dig an old tire halfway into the ground - this will be the body of the animal.
2. After cutting off the bottom and tops, connect several plastic bottles to each other to make a neck. Dig in the "neck" in front of the dug-in tire.
3. Cut one bottle lengthwise, cut off the neck - you get a head. Attach it to the "neck".
4. The animal is almost ready! It remains to paint. Color your ungulate in the necessary colors: giraffe in yellow and orange, zebra in black and white.

An interesting idea - a safari at their summer cottage

By analogy, you can also make palm trees, birches and other plants, decorating your "oasis" with them.

Making a piglet is even easier:

1. Take a large "pot-bellied" plastic bottle and fill it with sand to give it mass.
2. Make ears out of a piece of plastic and insert them into the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe “head” of the piglet (where the neck of the bottle is).
3. With pink paint, paint the bottle, and with black paint, draw the eyes and piglet on the piglet. Piggy is ready!

An interesting idea - piglets from plastic bottles

Cheerful multi-colored bugs can be made from any rounded containers and put on beds and flower beds as a decoration. Even stones are suitable for manufacturing: it is enough just to paint them with paint, drawing dots like those of ladybugs, antennae, eyes.

And from an old basin you can make a turtle Tortilla. By cutting the tires and bending their parts in a certain way, and then painting them with white paint, we get a swan.

Convenient sprinklers

Another convenient and practical way to use plastic bottles is to create a convenient watering system for beds. We will need:

• plastic bottles;
• thick nail;
• shovel;
• water.

Work performance technology

1. In plastic bottles on the sides, we make small holes with a nail or a thick awl.
2. We dig the blanks upside down into the soil next to the plant.
3. Water is poured into bottles through the neck.
4. Water from bottles through the holes will gradually flow into the ground and nourish the roots of the plant.

Hands-On - Plant Waterers

Drip irrigation can also be organized from soda bottles, which is very convenient for use in greenhouses. To do this, cut off the bottom of the bottle, and pierce several holes in the cork so that the water flows slowly. In order not to be mistaken, first make very small holes - it is better to expand them later.

After creating the blank, dig a hole (about 15 cm deep) not far from the bush, at a distance of 20 cm from the stem, and dig the bottle down there with the neck at an angle. It remains to fill the bottles with water, and the system is ready.

You can organize watering with bottles in another way. To do this, a bottle without a bottom is hung upside down on the side of the plant, filled with water. By unscrewing the cork a little, you can regulate the flow of water. Place tiny pieces of polyethylene under the bottle to avoid soil erosion from dripping.

Winged swing

After working in the garden, you also want to relax: for example, sit on a bench and drink tea. But it is more interesting to relax on a swing, especially with children. We offer to make an unusual and even shocking swing from ... an old sofa! The main thing is that a strong and tall tree with powerful branches grows on your site, for which you need to firmly fix the old sofa with strong ropes or chains. And it will be soft and comfortable to swing on it. From the rain, it is better to cover such a means of entertainment with a film, and clean it indoors for the winter. But on the other hand, no one will definitely have such a swing!

You can also make a swing from an old chair seat: just hang it from a thick and strong tree branch and swing to your health.

Such different flower beds

Flowerbeds from old tires, used both in their original form and cut in every possible way, are known to every housewife. But not everyone will guess to make “homes” for flowers from old bicycles, cars, cars, shoes or teapots.

It is quite possible to fix an old bicycle in the ground by digging in the wheels, and supplement it with small pots in which flowers are planted. In addition, let a climbing plant over it: it will wrap around the skeleton of a two-wheeled vehicle and turn it into an unusual flower bed.

An interesting idea - a flower bed from an old bicycle

From old rubber boots, painted with different paints, bright flower pots are obtained. Fill them with soil and plant plants there. Don't forget the drainage holes in the soles of your old shoes! You can place such planters anywhere: on the veranda, fence, between the beds, and this is their huge advantage. By the way, do not write off non-rubber shoes either: they can also be filled with earth and flowers can be planted in them, they will simply serve less than rubber ones.

A flower bed of old shoes is an amazing and very beautiful idea.

We save correctly

An old metal teapot is also a great flower bed. Attach ropes or chains to the handle, hang it on the veranda from the ceiling, pour earth and plant a birch-type climbing plant.

An old metal teapot is a great flower bed

Practical do-it-yourself crafts for giving with your own hands from plastic bottles are widely used due to the high availability of material and ease of processing.

Do-it-yourself homemade products for summer cottages and gardens not only perfectly complement the garden plot, but also help save a decent amount on this. Today, there are many useful devices for giving, simplifying everyday life. Usually, a large number of unnecessary things and materials are collected in the country house, which people do not use in their apartments. it takes up a lot of space. Any summer resident has the opportunity, by turning on his imagination, to make simple home-made items.

gardening tools

When visiting hardware stores, many buyers note that the quality of garden tools does not match their cost. Even an expensive and high-quality shovel is very easy to damage. One of the options is to personally make some kind of country tool that can perfectly replace an ordinary bayonet shovel. for example, a garden digger, which is not only very easy to manufacture, but also convenient to use. If we compare an ordinary shovel and this country tool, it can be noted that the latter is much easier to dig the ground, and it does not exert heavy loads on the human spine.

To make a digger for a garden with your own hands, you need those items that often lie and gather dust in the country. Need to have:

• metal sheet 2 mm thick;
• metal pipe 0.5 inch in diameter;
• 2 bolts and 2 nuts;
• 2 engraver washers for bolts and 2 hours of free time.

You need to cut a metal sheet into 7 segments that look like stakes. That is, you should get a stake, wide on one side, and tapering to the other. Then, a pipe 43 cm long is taken, 5 mm is measured from the edge on it. The following marks are made every 6 cm. Another 5 mm should remain on the other end of the pipe, which should also be marked. Using a grinding disc on a grinder, you need to make cuts in the marked places to the middle of the pipe.

Cut out stakes are taken (they will act as legs), inserted into the grooves cut in the pipe and seized by welding. Then the remaining pipes are welded into a U-shaped handle and bolted to the workpiece. That's all, the kopalka is ready to use.

Garden decoration

We should not forget about the opportunity to become a designer of your own garden in the country. After all, you can make not only country tools, but also much more. And to add zest to a country house, you can lay out a beautiful and original stone garden path. Such a path will not only delight its owners, but will also become the latest trend, very popular among summer residents. For a stone path you will need:

• a stone with which the path is laid out;
• sand;
• gravel and board 25-30 mm thick.

Work should begin with a preliminary measurement of the distance of the future track. To do this, four pegs are hammered, which are connected in pairs with a guide rope. After, it is necessary to remove the top layer of soil, or in other words, dig a trench. While working with a shovel, one should not forget about the level of the trench, since it is better to make it even in depth. This will help not only to use building materials correctly and economically, but also simplify subsequent work. Along the edges of the trench, you need to install boards, they will act as bumpers into which sand and stones are placed.

At the bottom of the recess, gravel should be poured first. It will not only perform a shock-absorbing function, but will also provide indispensable assistance in the drainage of groundwater. Next, the gravel is covered with sand, which should be moistened in advance - so it will lie more tightly. It is best to make a sand cushion with a thickness of 10 cm or more, and after that, you need to level the surface of the embankment with a board. Only after that you can lay stone or paving stones. It is necessary to calculate the thickness of the future path in advance so that you do not have to cut the stone once again.

Traps for mosquitoes

The invention does not fight mosquitoes, but their larvae. It hangs on tree branches. Mosquitoes lay their offspring in this device, which does not allow the born mosquitoes to leave it. For a more effective fight against bloodsuckers, you should make as many of these traps as possible. But even using this gadget cannot provide 100% protection against mosquito bites.

One of the easiest ways is to use an ordinary plastic bottle as a trap. It is necessary to cut off the upper part with the neck and insert it into the lower part so that the neck does not touch the bottom. Next, you should prepare a special solution that will attract mosquitoes. To do this, you need 15 g of yeast, 45 g of sugar and warm water. All 3 components must be mixed and pour the resulting solution into the trap. Then, the bottle must be darkened. To do this, you can use a dark cloth or thick paper. This trap is able to attract not only mosquitoes, but also cockroaches. Therefore, the owners of a house in the village have the opportunity to use it in a residential area.

These were only 3 of the most interesting and easily manufactured devices for summer cottages and gardens. Do not forget that a person can create something more useful and unique from improvised means, you just need to give free rein to your imagination.

The dacha is a place to relax the soul and improve the body. Far from the bustle of the city, where the air is clean, it is so nice to actively spend time, grow an excellent crop. And having worked enough, relax as it should!

But to relax in comfort, you need to work a little to create beautiful, useful and comfortable things. Do-it-yourself homemade products for summer cottages and gardens - cheap, reliable and cheerful!

Wooden pallet furniture (pallet)

After the construction of the house, there is a lot of construction debris that can come in handy! Bricks and wall blocks are brought on pallets. They are returnable containers, but it’s reluctant to mess with this issue. With a minimum of effort, you can make original wooden furniture for a summer residence!

Check out this stylish living room coffee table. Do you recognize? It's just a regular pallet! It is not difficult to make such an interior item. Take a coarse sandpaper and clean the surface of the boards from which the container is knocked together. Then you need a finer sandpaper to make the surface smooth. After sanding, carefully wipe off the fine dust, consisting of particles of the removed wood.

Paint your new table with oil, acrylic, or other wood paint. If the pallet was knocked together from decent boards and you like the natural texture of wood, then it is better to varnish the table. For convenience, small wheels can be screwed from below.

More complex products are also made from this container - sofas, chests of drawers, cabinets. See some photos for inspiration.

Agree, this is a chic and stylish headset! If you yourself will make soft seats, sew ribbons of the same fabric to them from below to tie them to the frame. Otherwise, they will move.

The bed and a large headboard for it with shelves are also made of pallets. A good orthopedic mattress will allow you to sleep well even on such an original basis.

Such an open-air recreation area in an oriental style will not leave anyone indifferent.

Swing

Do you have children in your family or do you have guests with babies? Then you can't do without a swing! In order not to spend a lot of money, you can use unnecessary things.

For example, you can make an excellent swing seat from an old chair in a matter of minutes by sawing off the legs. And to make it beautiful, paint it with fresh paint.

By the way, not only children love to swing. Adults also enjoy it. Look at this version of a swing from a rattan chair, the legs of which have become unusable. Soft pillows of delicate colors, ribbons, lace fabric - everything to create a romantic atmosphere.

If there are large trees in the garden, you can hang such a structure on a thick bough, then you do not need to build complex fasteners, a strong rope will be enough.

The second life of an old bath

There are many possible options. Here is some of them.

Flower garden. One of the easiest ways to use an unwanted bath. It is enough to make good drainage from broken brick or expanded clay at its bottom, add a nutrient substrate and plant plants.

Water. The easiest option is to bury the bath in the ground and pour water into it. But you can decorate it in such a way that no one will guess from what you built yourself a pond in the country. A small fountain, natural stone for framing, lighting and favorite plants will help create a unique corner for relaxing on the site.

Furniture. Yes! It's hard to believe, but the bath turns out to be excellent furniture - sofas and armchairs. And don't worry if your bathtub is cast iron. With the help of a grinder, you can cut out part of the board to make a sofa or chair.

flower beds

Flower beds can be decorated in a very original way.

Vertical gardening with colorful rubber boots. In their soles, make holes for the outflow of excess water and arrange drainage from expanded clay. Fill shoes with soil and plant plants. Remember that any container that is not deepened into the ground quickly heats up in the sun, the earth dries up in it. Therefore, on hot days, water green pets at least 1-2 times a day..

You can also use other shoes.

If there is an extremely unattractive stump from an old tree on the site, which cannot be uprooted, do not be discouraged. It will make an excellent raised flower bed.

Some gardeners love their plant-decorated stumps so much that they even varnish them to slow down the decay process.

Instead of a stump, a picturesque log can serve as the basis.

Flower gardens can be arranged in various used items - suitcases, bags, furniture, tires and even in a car!

Try making a raised, warm bed by framing it with a neat wood frame, stone, or brick.

From plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are an excellent material for homemade products in the country and in the garden with your own hands. They can perform useful functions or be a decorative element to decorate the landscape.

A spray bottle is an indispensable tool in the garden. Make small holes in the container, put it on a pipe or hose with a neck and secure. It remains only to open the tap to let the water flow.

With the help of a bottle, you can organize root watering for plants. Make holes in it. So that the earth does not clog into the holes, put old polyamide tights on the container. Dig in the bottle so that the neck remains above the ground. There you will pour water from a hose or it will fill itself when it rains.

This method of watering will not introduce you into financial expenses at all, but will bring tangible benefits. From the bottle, water will flow gradually in small portions, without falling on the above-ground part of the plants. And this is very important for many fruit and decorative green pets: tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini ...

Having filled the bottles with water, you can safely leave for a week in the city, and the plants will not suffer from drought. More water, before it goes to the roots, has time to warm up.

Frame flower beds and beds with glass or plastic bottles.

It looks neat and is practical. If you bury the bottles in the ground, they will become a barrier to the spread of perennial weed roots. And if most of the container remains on top, then you can pour earth inside the perimeter and the flower bed or bed will turn out to be slightly raised. She will be easier to take care of.

Durable wear-resistant panicles are made from plastic bottles. They have an attractive appearance due to bright colors.

Landscaping a summer house will not be a problem and an expensive investment if you show a little ingenuity. It is not difficult to create homemade products with your own hands - it will take time, simple tools and fixtures. You can use the remnants of building materials, unnecessary boards, car tires, sawn trees.

What materials are used

Any summer resident will not refuse the stylish decor of the site. Many firms offer original stuff. However, do-it-yourself crafts will help to give originality to the site.

Materials that are most often used in the work:

When decorating a summer house, one should not restrain one's imagination - bold combinations of materials and non-standard use of unnecessary things are welcome.

It is not necessary to observe proportions or natural color combinations. A giraffe may have purple spots, and a small engine may be small.

Original decor for the recreation area

Many townspeople acquire suburban areas for a relaxing holiday. It's nice to get away from the everyday life of the city and feel the connection with nature on the weekends. The design of a corner for relaxation deserves attention, it is advisable to fence it off from the agricultural work zone. A fashionable solution is the construction of small arbors from the remnants of boards. You will also need poles for supports and cross beams.

Sequence of work:

1. At the corners of the site, pits are dug 50-60 cm deep, where the bars are inserted and fixed with a solution.
2. Support beams with self-tapping screws are fixed at the upper ends of the bars.
3. Cross boards are fixed on the support beams. On the bars, the boards are fixed in a horizontal form, leaving gaps 5-7 cm wide.

A neatly cut lawn or a platform paved with stone - any options are suitable for decorating the site. To revive the structure, flowerpots with flowers are installed near the site or climbing plants are planted nearby.

How beautiful to arrange flower beds

Fragrant flower beds are the best decor for a recreation area.

It is easy to make non-standard flowerbed fencing from improvised means:

1. If there is a small amount of brick left, you can lay out a flower bed of any geometric shape in several rows. The solution will help to fix the structure and give it strength. Flower beds made of natural stone also look natural.
2. Car tires have long been a sought-after material in summer cottages. To give the flower garden a well-groomed appearance, it is advisable to paint the tires with bright paint and lay them out in several layers, forming flowerpots or lay them out on the site in a curved form, forming circles, ovals.

A couple of plastic or wooden flowerpots will help to give a non-standard look to an old bicycle. The transformation is done quickly: the bike is painted with bright paint, flowerpots are fixed over the front and rear wheels. A picturesque view of the structure will be given by climbing plants, the branches of which will skillfully disguise metal structures.

An old bathtub will not look like trash at all if it is transformed outside the box. Of course, the most straightforward option is to use a colorfully painted container as a reservoir.

However, meticulous and not lazy summer residents will transform the bath into cozy furniture for relaxation. For a miraculous transformation, it is necessary to cut out part of the side wall with a grinder, carefully grind the sections. Comfortable sofas ennoble: they are painted in the right shade, decorated with soft mattresses, headrests.

An impromptu flower garden in the form of a garden watering can, installed next to the sofa, will allow you to create a real relaxation zone.

Stylish garden paths

Rusted metal tanks or old wooden barrels can be turned into original flower beds or even original beds that will successfully complement garden paths.

Stages of work:

Barrels, tubs, thick logs can be called the most pleasant material for work. It is wonderful that objects can be placed not only vertically, but also horizontally, sawn in half or built multi-tiered structures.

Products do not need to be specially decorated - a colorful wooden texture will serve as the best decoration.

Do-it-yourself figured compositions

It is quite understandable the desire of each summer resident to give the site a unique look. In order not to spend money on the services of designers, you can create fun crafts with your own hands from improvised materials. Unnecessary garden tools, broken metal products, household containers, cobblestones and stones of different sizes - everything is used.

How to make metal decor

Creative decoration of paths, lawns will be unique figures assembled from old shovels and broken rakes, choppers. It is not difficult to create expressive images - the main thing is not to limit your imagination. To assemble a snail figurine, you will need literally a narrow sheet of metal, a can of canned food. Black paint will give the figure a laconic look and make it very noticeable against the background of a green lawn.

The original solution is to combine different materials when creating figures. The union of stone and metal looks elegant and natural. A playful look has a cat, assembled from rounded cobblestones of different sizes and metal elements. A stone pet is comfortably laid on a large stone to bask in the sun.

Flowers collected from table metal spoons will become a brilliant decoration of the flower bed. An impromptu flower garden will delight summer residents at any time of the year - rainy autumn and snowy winter. An umbrella assembled from metal tubes will give a coquettish and airy look to the flower bed. Welding a structure at home is easy. To plant flowers, first make a frame of plywood or thick film.

Original do-it-yourself crafts made of wood

Wood products always bring comfort to the decor of the garden plot. A wooden composition in the form of large porcini mushrooms will ideally fit into the landscape design of the site. However, you can give the fungus a playful look by using an unuprooted stump. A funny grimace on a tree is easy to depict with a chisel. And the hat can be made from a thick cut.

Decorative compositions assembled from wooden saw cuts or logs become a real work of art. The figurines of animals collected from old branches, sticks and several logs look playful. A more practical solution is the arrangement of flower beds from small logs.

Create a small flower garden in several stages:

1. The log is sawn into several equal parts, thin wooden cuts of branches are made separately to decorate the wheels.
2. In each element, the inner part is removed and an impromptu cabin of a locomotive is made separately from small boards.
3. Wheels are attached to the logs and the composition is laid on the site in the form of a train.

To make it easier to take care of the flowers, the plants are planted in separate pots, which are simply placed in the recesses.

Do-it-yourself functional homemade products deserve special attention - country furniture assembled from improvised materials. The easiest way to make items from sawn thick wood. It is enough to make a table from the base of the trunk, and less thick logs will take part in the creation of chairs. A small bench is assembled from individual branches and boards. It is not recommended to paint such furniture with colored paints - the natural wood texture, covered with a colorless water-repellent varnish, looks more elegant.

A popular option for crafts is animal figurines collected from tree cuts. You can assemble a composition from a couple of owls located on a stump. The stage of assembling homemade products created by oneself takes a little time: bodies are made from large saw cuts, on which round eyes and wings are fixed.

Do-it-yourself homemade products for a summer cottage children's corner

Any tree is the best option for decorating a playground in a country house. Different materials will be useful in the work: logs, hemp, boards. Making crafts for a summer residence with your own hands is an exciting activity in which all family members can take part. Simple shapes, a minimum of details, bright colors - such figures look elegant and fun.

It is easy to assemble figurines from different materials. As an option - a set of wooden poles, tires from a car.

It is easy to build a figurine near the playground:

1. The tire is half dug into the ground.
2. A pillar 8-10 cm thick is dug in front of the tire.
3. On top of the logs, an impromptu muzzle from a small log is attached. Details of the figurine (tail, ears, eyes) are cut out of plastic bottles.
4. You can color the figurine for any animal.

In order for the child to have fun on the site, it is advisable to create not just decorative crafts, but games.

As an option, plywood figurines of animals are installed. Holes of different widths are made in the canvas through which balls can be thrown.

the solution is the design of locomotives from small logs of the same size. To build a structure, you will need logs, paint, tools.

Main stages of work:

1. Holes are made in the base logs (even number) of the same size.
2. The bases are laid out on the ground at equal intervals, painted in one color.
3. On the bases, logs are placed perpendicularly - “carriages”, painted with multi-colored bright colors.
4. To highlight the "engine", a pipe and a small bar - a "booth" are fixed on a log.

Flower beds, decorated in small metal barrels, will add brightness to the playground. Kids will love taking care of the flowers planted in the colorful flowerpots.
