What can be done from an old fur coat. Exclusive do-it-yourself fur coat rug Do-it-yourself fur coat rug - preparing the base

From an old fur coat, you can make such wonderful blankets that will help create coziness in the house, a warm home environment. What could be more expensive after a hard day's work?

Probably every woman has some kind of fur things: a fur coat, a hat, collars that have served their time. for a long time in favor of us. You can make a blanket on a sofa, a cape on an armchair or a small rug for the feet in front of the bed.



Not a single piece of furniture can resist such a soft and fluffy decoration that will make any room not just a place of relaxation, but also a romantic, sophisticated place where you want to spend time and relax your body and soul.


And fur rugs on the floor will truly be a fairy tale for your tired legs during the day.




So where to start? If the fur is very worn out, then a big thing will not work out of it, the main thing is that the mezdra is intact. We open the fur coat, free it from the lining, we take only fur into work. Long, matted fur can be combed with a comb with sparse teeth. Fur, if there are grease spots on it, can be cleaned with a brush dipped in gasoline, to which a solution of washing powder is added (1 teaspoon per liter of water). The stain is wiped again with clean gasoline, of course, this treatment is best done on fresh air observing fire safety measures.


Very dirty light fur is rubbed with gruel made from gasoline and starch or bran. The fur is wiped with this gruel, then allowed to dry and shaken. Fur can even be vacuumed. You need to wipe the pile of the skin in one direction: not very greasy places along the pile, heavily greasy, for example, from the cap, against the pile. Sweat stains are removed with the following mixture: 3 teaspoons of salt are diluted in 500 milligrams of water and 1 teaspoon is added ammonia. After that, wipe with clean gasoline.


A fox collar or hat can be cleaned without gasoline. Sprinkle the fur with starch, sprinkle with water, let dry and shake well. The fur will change. Dark smooth fur is cleaned with dry hot sand. Try to tint a yellowed light astrakhan with blue or blue fabric paint. Wipe with a swab or cloth upper layer fur, without wetting the skin.


Wet fur is dried away from batteries and sunlight. Our coat is dry. We take a furrier's knife or a scalpel and carefully, using a metal ruler, cut off all the worn edges on the reverse side. Cut only the core, without touching the fur. We got pieces that now need to be attached correctly to each other and sewn together. For dense fur, a faceted needle is suitable, but you can use a regular one. You will need threads in tone No. 10 and a thimble. For strength, the threads can be rubbed with wax.


Lay the prepared parts of the fur coat face down on the table and mark the lines of the joints with a small line every 5 centimeters. In these places, it is better to fasten the details with a few stitches. Now start sewing with an overcast seam over the edge, trying to lay the seam evenly, after 2-4 mm. After you have sewn the parts, iron the seam with the rings of the scissors and tap the seam with a wooden mallet. You can finally align the seam by moistening it with water from the side of the mezra and drying it in a straightened state.


You can try to sew fur with a dense mezra on sewing machine. Fold the pieces face in, fasten every 5 cm by hand and zigzag stitch so that the top weave of the seam runs near the edge of the leather.


Fragile skin, torn under the needle when stitching, needs to be strengthened. Place a piece of cotton fabric under the weak spot, gluing it with glue, which, when dried, will remain elastic, such as rubber. Gluing with glues "Moment", "Uni-kum" or "88 N" will turn out harder. The glued fur is sewn together with the fabric.


For lining, apply a suitable fabric from the inside and quilt frequently, grabbing the entire thickness of the leather with the needle.

Your old fur coat will still serve you!

PUZZLES

Remember from primary school, a work of oral folk art called a mystery.

Give two or three examples of riddles. How did they form?

People began to compose riddles in antiquity. Then these little works were not fun entertainment but rather a serious test for young men. With the help of riddles, older and more experienced men tested the minds of the guys. It was believed that if a teenager cannot complete a task, then he is not yet ready for adult life. This rite of passage for young men is also reflected in fairy tales, when fairy tale character tested with tasks and riddles. The guy must show ingenuity, resourcefulness, mind.

Another option decorative finishes facades of buildings is the so-called house under a fur coat. This idea for decorating a residential building and garden buildings was known back in the last century and was actively used on summer cottages In the countryside. The technology for applying plaster under a fur coat is quite simple, fast and cheap, now we will prove it to you.

Plaster coat: essence and benefits

Stucco fur coat is an application sand-cement mortar sprayed onto the surface of the building. This process even a novice in the construction business is able to carry out, because. all you need is a mortar, a broom, a stick and a trowel. The process of applying plaster coats to the house is not laborious and takes little time, compared to other options for finishing the facades of the building (lining, etc.). There are practically no material costs, the only costs are the purchase of cement and color pigment for the color of the solution (optional).

The advantages of plastering a fur coat are as follows:

The disadvantage is the fact that the type of fur coat will not fit modern garden styles(for example,), as well as that the fur coat is a dust collector due to its embossed surface.

How to apply decorative plaster coat?

You can wear a coat different ways, which are equally simple. It is best to use a special machine for applying plaster.

It is necessary to apply the solution with a machine as follows: we hold the socket of the machine at a right angle to the wall, as a result of which the solution is applied in a small layer to the surface under the action of air from the compressor. Please note that the socket must be kept at a right angle, otherwise the plaster coat will be distributed unevenly and the decorative look will lose its beauty. It is necessary to apply plaster with a machine in several layers, if you decide to take a break, be sure to cover the edges of the sprayed mortar with a film to protect the facade from cracking.

In addition to the machine, you can use the "old-fashioned" methods of applying plaster coat with your own hands. There are 3 most popular types of spraying: broom, brush and through the net, now we'll talk about them.

Spraying plaster with a broom is the easiest way. To do this, you need to use a solution, a broom and a stick. We hold a stick in one hand, a broom in the other. We soak the broom in the solution and hit the stick, which we hold against the wall. As a result of this solution is distributed over the surface of the house.

It is also not difficult to apply a plaster coat on a house with a brush with your own hands. All you need is a brush and a small wooden board. We dip the brush into a container with a solution for a fur coat, turn the brush over near the wall and draw a plank over it (on ourselves). As a result of this, the solution is sprayed onto the wall and creates the appearance of a decorative fur coat.

Well, the last popular way to apply plaster on a fur coat with your own hands is to use a metal mesh. In front of the wall on which the fur coat will be applied, a mesh is installed with wooden frame and already through it with the help of a trowel a solution is thrown. After the end of the work, the grid is removed.

As you can see, do-it-yourself methods for applying plaster on a fur coat are quite simple and not laborious. Now we will talk about how to properly create a house under a fur coat with your own hands.

Plastering a house under a fur coat with your own hands: a sequence of actions

As mentioned earlier, the technology of plastering a house under a fur coat is not complicated and even a beginner can handle it.

First of all, we prepare the wall for plaster. If the wall is smooth, then we specially make notches on it using a chisel and a hammer. We also make small holes, but at the same time, without damaging ourselves construction material at home (or cinder block). If the wall has uneven surface there is no need to do any preliminary steps. In addition, it is necessary to get rid of the previous plaster, tile or other decorative cladding, which was applied earlier. Once the wall is prepared, we move on.

The next step is priming the walls. For this, ready-made primer liquids, sold in hardware stores, are used. Their price is inexpensive, and the quality is good enough to ensure the necessary adhesion of the wall with the mortar. You can apply the primer with a brush-brush, this must be done once, but carefully. If the wall area under the fur coat is large, then in order to save on the amount of primer, it is recommended to use a sprayer, it not only applies a primer thin layer but also sprays it on all cracks and gaps.

After the wall is primed, we wait until it is completely dry, this is a must. Next, we proceed to applying the plaster coat to the surface of the house.

At this stage, you should decide on a solution for creating a house under a fur coat. There is an option for applying a gypsum mortar, but it is not recommended to use it, because. gypsum will not provide sufficient moisture protection for the wall. The advantage of gypsum is only that the solution dries faster.

It is best to use the more popular cement-sand mortar. As for the ratio of sand and cement for mortar, opinions very often differ here. Some argue that it is best to use a ratio of 1:3 (cement:sand), others insist on a ratio of 1:2 and even 1:1. We still recommend choosing the 1:3 option, because this solution has already been successfully tested. As for the density of the solution, the plaster coat should have the consistency of liquid sour cream, so it is easier to apply and the requirement for the granularity of the solution is satisfied.

The solution must be applied in 3 layers. The first layer is applied with an ordinary trowel and leveled with it, additionally using a building level. Next, a second layer is applied, preparatory, 1 cm thick. Well, in the end, the last layer is sprayed using the tools and methods listed above. Here you should pay attention to the fact that the last layer, decorative plaster can be cut into pieces broken glass different colors and powder color pigments. This design move will make the facade of the house under a fur coat even more interesting and attractive.

If the plaster under a fur coat is applied with your own hands without the use of color pigments in the solution, the facade can be painted on your own with a spray gun, after the plaster has completely dried.

Among the most popular buildings for applying plaster with a fur coat with your own hands, the following are distinguished:

  • House
  • Brick. You will be surprised, but it is also decorated with plaster under a fur coat, rarely, but there are still examples.

In order for the plaster coat to decorate houses for more than a dozen years, it must be applied correctly. Experts gave us the following helpful tips:

  • The weather conditions for applying plaster coat should be as follows: temperature from 5 to 27 degrees above zero, without direct sunlight (preferably on a cloudy day), but not in rainy weather
  • All 3 layers must be applied in one process, allowing each of the layers to dry a little
  • It is forbidden to save on a primer, it must be applied to the wall
  • It is recommended to use the following powders (from minerals) for coloring the solution: red iron ore, white asbestos, manganese powder, finely ground cobalt glass, ground white marble, coal powder, etc. They must be added to the solution while mixing cement and sand with water.
  • The solution should be rare, but at the same time not slide off the wall
  • To create a more grainy fur coat, you must use metal mesh or a stick with a broom. To keep the grit to a minimum, it is recommended to use a brush.



That's all I wanted to tell you about the plaster coat, how decorative material for finishing facades. We wish you good luck in creating a house under a fur coat with your own hands!

You can finally smooth the seams and make them flat by wetting with water and drying them in a straightened form.

The assembly of the product can also be done on a sewing machine. To do this, fold the flaps inside out and sew with a zigzag seam, laying it as close to the edge as possible.

If the base of the fur is thin and breaks under the needle, use a piece of cotton fabric to strengthen it. The flap is glued elastic adhesive(e.g. rubber).

The surface will be harder if you use "Moment" or another similar adhesive. After the glue dries, the fur is sewn together with a flap of fabric.

Do-it-yourself fur coat rug - preparing the base

The front side of the rug is ready, it's time to take care of its base. As a lining, non-staining and dense fabrics are suitable.

Thin material will quickly rub off and lose its appearance. The color of the base should be combined with the front side.
