What can be done using wood technology. Wood crafts made at home. Video: interesting DIY bird feeder

When you mention wood crafts, your imagination pictures a well-equipped workshop, an arsenal of serious tools, and preparations of valuable wood species. Reality offers easier ways to fulfill your dreams.

The quality and intricacy of the piece depends on the skill of the artist. But don’t give up if you don’t have experience. Master classes have been developed for beginners, including clear instructions.

Branches, saw cuts, sheets of plywood and even ice cream sticks collected in a park or forest are suitable as working material. And as tools - a jigsaw, saw and glue.

DIY crafts from tree branches

The main requirement for the execution of such products is the work of imagination and a sense of composition. Both adults and children can cope with the work. Branches of any size and texture that have not been eaten by bugs are recommended for use.

Dolls for play

Materials:

• Branches;
• Plastic eyes (can be purchased at any craft store);
• Scraps of fabric, cut into even squares. They wrap around the figurine and serve as clothing.

Children love to do such crafts. In addition to playing, they can be used as decorative ornaments.

Where are saw cuts used?

The list has no boundaries. Large diameter saw cuts are suitable for large-scale work. Small – for the manufacture of compact products. Height determines the volume of the craft.

For DIY crafts made of wood can be chosen completely unusual materials. For example, clothespins or shavings from sharpening pencils.

The mandatory program for developing children's labor and creative skills includes special tasks for creating objects from scrap materials. And most often, the lion's share of figuring out how to do it all falls on busy parents. In this article we offer several ideas for DIY wood crafts.

Creativity with parents

Let's look at what can be made from items that may be lying around at home.

These can be boards, sticks, beams, wood material from the forest in the form of branches, clothespins, cross sections of trunks.

1. Birdhouses.

The first thing that comes to mind from labor lessons is that you can make a birdhouse from old boards. Such wooden crafts would look appropriate in a country house. By using special tools you can cut out patterns from boards, paint them with paints and make an unusual bird feeder. Durable façade paints must be used. Undoubtedly, such a useful product can be created for an exhibition, then used for its intended purpose, and the manufacturing process itself will dispel a boring evening with an exciting activity for children and adults. Examples of work are presented in the photo below:

Next to birdhouses in terms of difficulty of manufacture are decorative mills who can also participate in school exhibitions. To create it, you need very little drawing and carpentry skills, magic, and old boards turn into a multifunctional object of admiration, which can later be used to decorate your summer cottage.

From materials it can be the remains of chipboard, plywood from old furniture, if necessary, you can use clapboard, thin slats 2*4 cm, slats for the blades, corners, nails, varnish for wood and paint, a long bolt, self-tapping screws, a couple of washers, 5 pieces of nuts.

We are building an internal frame; for high-quality processing and assembly, you will need tools such as a screwdriver, a wood jigsaw, preferably an electric one, and sandpaper. Cut out two squares, one larger than the other. For example, with sides of 40 and 30 cm we make a hole in the center. We connect two squares using self-tapping screws in these holes for one rail, but it will help to fasten the remaining 4 slats,

We are working on the roof. Cut out two triangles equal sides And we also screw it onto the slats using self-tapping screws so that the roof is strong.

We use the lining for lining our mill, cut it out with a jigsaw, and nail it to the slats. We only cover the side parts of the roof.

To attach the blades, you need to drill a hole in the roof, insert a long bolt with washers, now you can completely sheathe the roof and install the blades.

1. Hot coasters.

From wooden slats and sections of trunks you can build hot stands. Products can be left in in kind, to bring naturalness into the interior, or decorate it with burning or painting.

An interesting stand made of square elements.

Using a circular saw, we cut out squares from a flat piece of wood and make holes for the choppers, which smart people called furniture dowels. We cut out centimeter strips from heat shrink and put them on the dowels. Now we insert the cubes together using regular wood glue.

1. Hangers and key holders.

Processing wood for home needs or for the garden with your own hands requires equipment and tools, as well as non-living space, this is a reason to go with your father to the garage or go to the country, do a common business, create decorative interior elements, for example, hangers, key holders and wooden shelves.

Simple products

Painting on wood is a more difficult task than on paper; the surface requires preparation, cleaning, and sometimes priming, but in cases of complex and quality work. Painting on wood with children is a lot of fun.

Wood burning, of course, will not be done by a small child, but under parental supervision with children aged 6 years and older it will be possible. exciting activity. Usually work in the school curriculum begins around the 5th grade, so at this age you can already entrust your child with this activity. For pyrography with children, choose simple drawings; you can use coloring schemes.

Good afternoon. Today we start uploading articles on the topic of DIY wood crafts. In this first article I want to show you what simple crafts can be made from wood - for both children and adults. Many ideas will work for labor classes at school- for boys. Some ideas will work for a school competition crafts from natural material. Some wooden crafts can become decorating your dacha or yard. Here you will find a storehouse of inspiration and joy in anticipation of such interesting and simple work. In this article I will prove what to do beautiful crafts made of wood everyone can. Because here you will find simple and feasible tasks. Even a frail woman with a manicure can do half of the crafts in this article. So - let's fall in love with wooden creativity.

Let's start with simple magic.

Tree + sun

Crafts that glow with love.

Here are the simplest and cutest ones country crafts made of wood. For the craft, you need to cut a log (ask when you are sawing the firewood with a grinder to make several thin cuts). Or you can do it without cutting - just take a board of any size.

We drill holes in the wood so thick that a store-bought glass pebble will fit into it. Such sets of multi-colored decorative glass stones are sold - in the gift department, and in the department where there are candles, vases and everything for holiday decor.

You can simply drill such holes with glass into a board and hang it on an apple tree. You can drill such holes in the fence - if the sun shines into it at least once a day at a low angle.

That's very beautiful. Magically. Like in fairyland. Your children will be delighted with this wooden craft.

Simple wooden crafts

from log cuts.

If you have logs being cut into firewood in your yard, you are in luck. You can get priceless craft material for free. Ask the men to cut you flat cuts from both small and large logs. Lovingly stack them away from the woodpile and start dreaming up future wood crafts. For example, let it be wooden owls. It's easy to do and looks beautiful. The saw cuts can be nailed to each other. You can put them on liquid nails (like glue).

The surface of the cuts can be rough and unsanded (as in the photo with the bunnies craft). Or you can sand it with sandpaper and even varnish such an ornamental material. Or paint it the color you want.

From large saw cuts you can make large country wood crafts. And small log houses (made of thinner branches and logs) are suitable for miniature crafts - for example, these birds. You can cut branches of this thickness yourself with a hacksaw - manually, without a chainsaw.

Log cuts can become a canvas for art installations. Such wooden crafts-pictures can be made from any natural material. Go to the river and find smooth, flat stones. They will become the source interesting crafts. The stones can be easily painted with felt-tip pens, office fat markers or just gouache (after work, fix the gouache with hairspray or nail polish).

Here's another way to make beautiful AIR crafts from wooden cuts. Lacy through cutting with an electric jigsaw (photo with craft Maple Leaf) looks simply magical.

Here is a small master class from which you can see how the process of cutting out openwork patterns on a thick cut of wood occurs.

First we outline the stencil with a pencil. Then we use a drill to drill holes in the key nodes of the drawing. And then we use a jigsaw to move from one holey node to another.

You can come up with a device yourself which will help you cut wood products using a conventional drill. Make your own electric jigsaw. Holding the comfortable handles with your hands, you simply move the device - following the lines of your drawing. The thinner the drill, the more small parts You can cut out the drawing with it. Well thought out.

Or you can buy a jigsaw– it costs on average 100 dollars. You can find it for over 50, but we’re not in industrial scale work, so it’s not necessary to buy a very powerful, expensive tool.

Mosaic crafts

From cuts of thick branches.

If you have country yard The boring barn wall is looking right at you. Then you need to make it not boring. Let's decorate the shed using wood crafts. Let's do it mosaic applique from small wood cuts. Such cuts are obtained by cutting thick branches or thin logs with a hacksaw (or chainsaw).

The basis For such a wooden craft, we cut it out of a sheet of plywood. First we draw a silhouette on it future crafts. Cutting out the plywood base with a hand jigsaw or a special power tool. And we glue wooden rounds onto it - with liquid nails, with wood glue or with hot glue from a gun.

And you can even make it at home from saw cuts decorative frame for a mirror made of wooden rounds(master class in the photo below).

1. Buy too round mirror. Place it on a sheet of plywood and trace it with a pencil.
2. Around the resulting circle, retreat a few centimeters (to the width you want for the frame). And with this indentation draw a second circle.
3. Cut a large circle out of plywood. And cover the outer ring with wood cuts. You will get a beautiful wooden craft frame - all you have to do is glue the mirror into the middle using liquid nails.

Puff Crafts

made of wood.

This is perhaps my favorite type of wood crafts. Here the woven shields lie on top of each other creating a LAYER VOLUME of the craft.

Here is a cow craft made from three layers of wooden shield. The first layer is the body, the second is the head, the third is the bangs and nose.

You can paint all layers of your craft the same color (like a craft polar bear made of wood) or different colors(like a craft mouse on the moon– photo below).

Or you can leave a textured wood pattern (as in the crafts in the photo below).

Wood fox It has two-layer construction- the back layer, and the head and tail are placed on it.

Craft duck has 5 layers - a central layer with the head, and two layers on both sides (tummy + wing).

The more layers you will overlap each other, the more voluminous and convex your craft will be. Here is an example with the craft “Lions made of wood” you can see how the animal's muzzle moves forward, thanks to four layers of thick wooden boards.

If you paint your crafts. Complete the facial expressions, add small details - folds, spots, etc. You can get very realistic and expensive wood crafts. Your small hobby can become your business. Such works can be safely put up for sale.

You can come up with your own characters. Draw their layers on a sheet of paper. Enlarge the craft first in a paper template - transfer the contours to a wooden board and cut it out. Or find pictures in a children's coloring book– and redraw them in an enlarged size.

Wood craft

For school activities

At the labor lesson.

Such LAYER wood crafts can be cut NOT FROM THICK SHIELDS, but from thin plywood sheet. And then such work can be carried out in labor classes within the framework school curriculum. On the topic “sawing with a jigsaw on plywood.”

Here's an idea - how made of 3 plywood panels make a two-color puppy craft. The first very back layer of WHITE PLYWOOD shows only the tips of the ears, tail and one hind leg. We will cover the second layer with stain (so that it darkens). Eyes, nose and lines can be drawn with a marker, or burned special device for wood burning.

You can make a lot of shields with different shades of color using the same technique. volumetric crafts made of wood during labor lessons at school or in a woodworking group.

Wood crafts

in the form of an APPLICATION.

Using a very similar technique, you can make an applique from wood. Here, too, wood is taken as a basis. solid wood board(that is, not a glued board, but a solid board). Because we will be sanding it, and the glued board may delaminate from sanding and the glue seams will be visible.

1. On paper all future crafts are drawn. Divided into parts by lines. Each detail is numbered. And it is photographed (so that later the location of each element can be verified from the photo).
2. Next, the drawing is cut along the lines into elements. We outline each element on the board with a pencil. We cut out an element from a flat board. All elements are flat on top, rough around the edges of the cut and with sharp sawing edges.
3. Now our task smooth all edges of each part, round it. We trim off the sharp edges of the cuts with a chisel. And we grind it on a grinding machine (if you have one) or do it manually with sandpaper of varying degrees of hardness and roughness.
4. After sanding all parts painted with tinted stain(sold in construction stores). Depending on how many times you wipe the part with stain, you will get a lighter or darker tone. Very light details can be simply wiped off vegetable oil. You can check in advance shades of color on scraps of wood left after sawing the craft.

You can also paint wooden craft parts in watercolor or gouache(using not a brush, but a foam sponge). After painting, to prevent the part from getting your hands dirty, you can spray it with hairspray or saturate the craft with another wood coating compound (just check the color first on scraps).

It only seems that the cow (in the photo of the wooden craft above) is behind the moon. In fact, all the parts are in the same plane. On a piece of paper. But thanks to the streamlined edges of the parts, everything looks voluminous, soft and as if pressed into each other. Nothing is actually pressed in - everything just lies next to each other.

Ideas for such flat wood applique crafts can be taken inside children's coloring books. There are just pictures with large details. You can find a children's coloring picture on Google - enlarge it and print it. Or redraw directly from the monitor screen by placing a sheet of paper on the glowing screen.

Methods for grinding parts

for wood crafts

(instructions to help).

To make it easier to sand the smooth edges of parts without rubbing calluses on your hands, I want to give some useful tips.

You can clamp the sanding belt in a special vice, also made of wood. Here's how it's done in the left photo below. Or come up with your own version of the device.

Here in the left photo - sandpaper is wrapped around a thick piece of wood with a semicircular edge. And the edges of the sandpaper are wrapped in a groove, and clamped with a bolt twisted through a round cylindrical piece of wood-clamp.

There are also grinding attachments for drills. And then you can grind the parts using the rotational force of the drill and the magical power of electricity.

Below we see grinding attachments for drill– plate and drum shape.

There are grinding attachments for drills where you can change sandpaper - remove the old worn-out sandpaper and fill in a new one.

By the way, on AliExpress you can immediately buy grinding drums for a drill in bulk for 3-4 dollars per batch of 100 pieces. If you search, you can find it cheaper.

And to prevent the drill from spinning in your hand while working, you can create a special FASTENING STRUCTURE that will record your homemade sanding machine is in one place, and all you have to do is bring the parts to the sanding drum.

The design of the mounting pallet can be different - with a wooden clamp (photo above), or with a retainer in the form of a metal bracket (as in the photo below).

With such an assistant, making wood crafts with your own hands is a pleasure. Quick, pleasant and immediately beautiful results. Such work can be put on stream - and a whole production of beautiful wooden (smooth and safe) toys for children and gift wooden paintings can be established.

You can become a successful master. Completely unexpected for myself. Just like that, look at this article and fall in love with the idea.

Fantasy wooden crafts– limitless. Remember the formula for success - everything can be made from wood. The main thing is to start... then continue... and finish.

For example, knocking toys. Beautiful fun for children and for decorating the garden. Such a knocker or woodpecker may knock on your door, announcing guests on the porch. Like in a fairy tale, pull the string and the door will be opened for you.

You can make decorations for your children's room with your own hands. Essentially, reincarnate and become a designer of interesting interior wood crafts. Any boy will be happy if his children's room sparkles with motifs from the Jungle.

You know... I’ll probably continue the topic of wooden crafts for design children's room in one of the following articles. I'd like to see what ideas are hidden here. And making someone fall in love with this is a good thing.

And perhaps we should create an article with wooden toys for children - self made. I also need to write. And then it will work here link.

In the meantime, let's continue...

WOOD CRAFTS

and WASTE material.

Where do future crafts live? …. Old half-decayed boards. For example, from grandma's fence. Which are usually used for firewood or removed from the yard as excess garbage. Stop. Let's not throw them away. Let's dig through this pile and create something wonderful - with our own hands from wood.

A wooden mop-brush, if sawed in half, turns into the mouth of an evil dog. A little imagination and work. And now the service dog is bristling and grinning at you.

A beautifully crafted piece of art. tree and waste material.

Any waste material (pieces of iron, plastic) and old pieces of wood can populate your home fairy-tale characters. They are alive. They have a soul and their own history.

Wood crafts

Imperishable beauty.

Peeled veneer , from old furniture panels, quietly dampening in your shed - can also become a source for crafts and wood appliqués.

From this thin wood material You can directly cut out the details of the future craft with scissors and stick it with hot glue from a gun (or with wood glue).

You can also use thin birch bark instead of veneer. And also make interesting flat crafts from wood.

Wood crafts

(logs, firewood and bark)

Ordinary firewood from your woodpile can become a source of inspiration for wooden crafts for the dacha.

If you cut a round log diagonally, you get a figurine with its face turned towards you. All that remains is to draw this face, add elements of eyes, ears, and nose to it.

You can use logs and round logs to form the body of an animal. The logs will be the legs and the logs will be the back. The head can be made from a round cut small log. Or chop with an ax face up the desired shape from the same log as the body of your four-legged wooden craft.

Show your imagination and don’t stop before a difficult task. A squirrel made of wood or a snail made of logs - there is nothing complicated. We turn on our head and sense of humor - it will suggest the most ridiculous, but effective ways convey the delicate image of the animal using rough wood and other natural materials.

YOU can work with a chainsaw or an ax - sawing out or beheading the face of your wood craft. You can make these cute pigs with your own hands as a fun wooden craft for your dacha.

And in the bushes you can put a beautiful, proud deer - also a simple and quick craft made from wood and branches.

Wooden crafts

from chips from a log.

It happens that when you chop firewood, large shaped chips break off from the log. This chip often has a bizarre shape - already similar to something (a bird, a panther, the profile of a face). You need to carefully put such a gift of fate aside, so that you can later return to it and complete the craft started by nature. Trim something with a knife, highlight something with paint, glue something as an additional detail. And you will end up with a do-it-yourself wooden craft - beautiful and original.

These are the ideas I managed to find for wood craftsmen.

Now you too can make beautiful crafts from wood with your own hands. Moreover, this article is only the first in a series on the topic of wooden crafts, which are clear and easy to do at home.
