Shoe tray with pebbles

Owners of private houses have to go out into the yard regardless of the weather. That’s why shoes don’t always shine clean. Many people get out of this situation by placing a rubber mat near the door or by placing a rubber tray. Yes, the dirt does not spread, but the view is not the most attractive. You can significantly improve the situation by simply pouring pebbles into the tray. The water will flow over the stones, the drips on them will not be visible, and neither will the dirt. Periodically, you will need to soak the pebbles in water and rinse them to remove accumulated dirt, but pebbles are a reusable material and they simply cannot be “erased off.”

If there is no rubber tray, you can knock down a wooden box with a side height of about 10 cm. Pebbles can be found on the banks of a river, sea, etc. IN as a last resort You can find it in designer stores or wherever aquarium supplies are sold. But buying this “charm” is expensive.

Scarf storage

Every family usually has a lot of scarves, neckerchiefs and other similar items. How to store them so that they don’t take up a lot of space, are always at hand, and don’t get wrinkled? There are several life hacks that you can easily do yourself.

First. We attach it to a regular hanger metal rings. Rings can be plastic or metal. Both can be found in departments selling. There are all sorts of them, in shape, size and material. Rings can be nailed to wooden hangers/hangers/trempels, attached with staples, or glued or tied with thread to plastic hangers. And that’s it, you have a device for storing scarves.

The situation is a little more complicated with the second device. You will need a treated board and a dozen or two clothespins. We attach clothespins to the bar with one side. They can be nailed, screwed, or glued. You will also need hinges to secure the structure itself to the wall.

Both ideas for the home are practical, require a minimum of money and a little time. And evaluate the benefits yourself. Especially in the spring-autumn period, when there are a lot of scarves, scarves, and flower pots on the shelf.

Instead of a bookshelf

- a good thing, but they are not appropriate everywhere, and good copies cost a lot of money. But books need to be stored somewhere. The solution is metal staples. When installing them, the lower book serves as a support for 4-5 pieces, which are simply stacked on it.

Book holder - everything ingenious is simple

The disadvantage is obvious - the lower book is inaccessible. The solution is to put the most unpopular or unnecessary one down.

Holders for keys and other small items

One of the biggest problems is where to hang the keys so that they can be quickly found, and also instantly hung or removed. One of the good options is a magnetic board, but where to look for it is a question. But you can make funny holders from tennis balls. They are cut to about a third of the diameter. That's all. The holder is ready. It just needs to be secured somewhere. You can - on the wall using nails, you can attach several pieces on a separate board, and then attach the board itself to the wall, cabinet, etc.

Instead of a key holder - cute faces

You can make such a holder for small items in a matter of seconds. Look longer for tennis balls. And to make it even more interesting, eyes are glued to the ball. It turns out to be such a cheerful smiley.

Basket made of plastic bins and clothespins

The farm is full plastic containers from food products, but ideas for the home using them are rare. We found one such option in which the hero is a liter mayonnaise container. In principle, any large diameter jar can be used and low altitude. Otherwise, the “basket” will be inconvenient to use.

Waste into income - a basket made from a plastic can

Using universal glue, we glue the containers with clothespins. When the glue has dried, coat the surface with varnish or wood oil. Inner part cover with a cover made of cotton or linen. We make it a little longer than necessary so that we can hide the unsightly edge behind the lapel.

We make the handle from steel wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm. We bend an arc from it. We make a loop at one end, and in the side, using a nail heated over a fire, we make two diagonally located holes (one opposite the other). We thread the formed loop on the handle into one hole. We bend the wire on the second side, thread it through the second hole, and then form a loop. We decorate the handle with hemp rope. You can also make decorations for a basket from it. If you know how to weave macrame - great, no - a regular braid woven from several threads will do.

Stand for a sofa or chair for cups/glasses/newspapers

Drink some tea in your favorite chair - great idea. But there’s nowhere to put the cup, the phone always falls between the seat and the “bytsy”. Armrests modern models soft, you can't put anything on them. That's what we came up with smart people make a stand for cups/glasses (pictured). Extremely simple and very convenient thing. Few ideas for your home will bring you more pleasant moments.

You will need three boards with a width of at least 25 cm. They are knocked down in the shape of the letter “P” (the connection can be strengthened using carpentry corners). The height of the jumper is slightly greater than the height of the armrest; the table should protrude no more than 1/3 of the width of the seat, otherwise you simply will not sit in the chair. The structure is placed sideways bottom part pushed under the chair. It serves as a stop and prevents the structure from turning over. To be sure, make the lower part much longer than the “table”. Also, for mobility, you can install wheels, but do not forget that the legs of modern furniture are low and the wheels need small ones, and they will have to be attached from the side. Otherwise, the stand simply won’t fit under the chair.

Where to hide dog bowls

Dog owners know how difficult it is to find space for their dog bowls. Dogs living in an apartment or house are usually fed in the kitchen. There they are given bowls. But they are needed for half an hour a day, and then they get underfoot on the floor all day. The problem can be solved, and elegantly. Place the bowls in one of the drawers. If they were needed, they opened the box and poured in food. Feeding is over - the bowls have been washed, put back in place, and the drawer has been pushed back. Everything is perfect and does not bother anyone.

This idea will require a little modification to the drawer. A small section bar or corner is placed around the perimeter. From plywood or other sheet material a rectangle is cut out the right size. We cut holes in it for the bowls, then paint (if necessary). That's all, the idea has been implemented. All that remains is to train the pets.

Idea for storing slippers

In any house or apartment with two or more inhabitants, slippers always get lost, confused and disappear somewhere. One of the interesting ideas for solving the problem is such pipes/holders for slippers. Each pair has its own pipe. Order is guaranteed.

Pipes can be made of stainless steel, they can be cut from plastic pipes large diameter. You just need to process the cut well - so that it is comfortable and beautiful.
