Step 2. From a foam sponge we cut out the muzzle and body of the mouse and cover them with black fabric. We sew these parts very tightly to the rubber blank. You need to sew with nylon threads strictly along the contour. Additionally, you can strengthen the parts with wire.

Step 3. We attach the paws to the body with a wire threaded through it. We cut narrow strips from the tire. They are needed to give relief to the wings. Glue rubber strips double-sided tape to the wings. The edges can be secured with threads for extra strength.

Step 4. We sew additional ears (which we cut out separately) to the upper edge of the ear and the head of the mouse.

Step 5. Coloring. We paint Batman's ears, draw a mouth and a nose. Let's make his chest lighter and add a few strokes of black (they will imitate fur). We glue feathers or fur onto the paws, neck and ears using tape.

Step 3. We cut the polyethylene into long strips. Then we give the stripes a fringe effect. To do this, make uniform small cuts on one side of the strips.

Step 4. Starting from the swan's tail, carefully wrap polyethylene strips onto the prepared frame with the fringe facing outward. As you wrap, carefully burn the film to adhere to the main part. It is convenient to cauterize with a regular screwdriver heated on gas stove. Do not overdo it, otherwise you may burn the swan right through.

Step 5. In the same sequence, we make the swan’s wings separately and attach them to the frame.

Step 6. Backlight. There are several options you can use here. You can take a regular flashlight round shape and place it in a bottle (after cutting a hole in it). Either decorate the swan on top with neon flexible tubes or LED strip on a self-adhesive basis.

DIY craft ideas for the home

So, what can you do yourself for your home? Let's look at a few ideas for inspiration. Among the proposed options, you will definitely find something interesting for yourself and try to make the thing you like with your own hands.

Housekeeper

One of the useful things for the home that also serves a decorative function, which you can make with your own hands, is a key holder.

The peculiarity of this key holder is that its design imitates brickwork. The basis for the key holder is thick cardboard (you can use part of a box). You will also need a tight toilet paper or thick napkins. Dense material is needed so that it does not spread when lubricated with glue. Stock up on acrylic paints, varnish and glue (ordinary PVA will do).

Make the back wall of the key holder from rectangular cardboard or a sheet of plywood. Hooks will be attached to the base. Cut out small rectangular bricks from cardboard, the size should be the same, and glue them to the base, leaving a small distance between the parts. Not the entire surface of the cardboard is covered with bricks.

In the central part you need to stick a sign decorated with an inscription, and in the upper part you need to place a beautiful picture.

After this, coat the bricks well with glue, and put a napkin (previously crumpled) on top and a little more glue for impregnation. Using a stick, press tissue paper or paper into the gaps between the miniature bricks to create corners. Give the craft time to dry.

Paint the dry panel with paint (to imitate natural brick, you need to choose a red-brown shade). Use bronze paint to paint the seams.

After the paint has dried, paint the bricks with the same tone using a dry brush (dip the brush into bronze-colored paint, then wipe it on paper until it is almost dry, and only then brush the brickwork).

On a note! When painting bricks, you need to move the brush without changing direction.

To give the key holder a smooth finish, coat it with a clear matte varnish.

The work is completed by attaching the loops, after which it can be hung on the wall or given as a gift to someone. The photo below shows the finished key holder:

Jewelry hanger

All representatives of the fair sex love jewelry; Almost every woman has jewelry that needs to be stored somewhere. An original storage for jewelry will be a hanger made like a painting.

In order to make a hanger for storing jewelry, you will need:

• baguette frame;
• plywood;
• stain (paint can be used as a replacement);
• hooks and drawer handles;
• nails;
• screwdriver and drills;
• cutting tool.

Cut the plywood according to the dimensions of the frame and coat it with stain, then dry it and apply it to the frame. Mark the places where the hooks will be attached and screw them. All that remains is to hang the decorations on the hanger.

Now you have a place to store women's treasures - jewelry.

Plastic canvas box for storing small items

A simple but presentable box designed for storage various little things can be made from plastic canvas.

Canvas is a material for embroidery. You will need a canvas made of plastic; you can buy it in stores that sell everything for needlework.

On a note! Plastic canvas is usually made in the form of sheets, A4 size. The perforations in the plastic canvas differ in size. Canvases are produced with different amounts perforations, the more there are, the smaller they are.

In addition to the canvas, you need to stock up on the following materials:

• dense threads;
• large needle;
• fabric or beads;
• scissors.

Embroidery on plastic canvas is almost no different from regular embroidery. Embroidery techniques can be different, the most popular are cross stitch and satin stitch.

The plastic canvas is flexible, but at the same time it is very durable.

Decide what the dimensions of your box will be. Divide the material into parts intended for the sides and the bottom. There should be five parts in total. Make elements for the lid. Make a workpiece whose size is 0.5 cm larger in width and length from the bottom. The sides of the lid should be slightly narrower. You will need five more parts. Then sew the parts with thick threads (you can use braid and even ribbons).

You can embroider any pattern on the blanks. Drape the parts that are not embroidered with fabric or embroider with beads.

Having completed all 10 blanks, begin assembly. The first step is to sew the side parts to the bottom. Then sew with outside all the side elements of the box and trim the top around the edges. The last step is to assemble the cover in the same way.

We assemble the lid of the box in the same way.

A beautiful box made of plastic canvas is ready.

Woven rugs using tapestry technique

One of the options to add coziness to the interior is tapestry rugs. To weave such things you don't need special tools. A rug using the tapestry technique can be made from scrap materials: thick threads that are used for knitting (they can be replaced with ropes made from old clothes) and cords.

A tapestry is a lint-free carpet made manually. The base of tapestry rugs is decorated with ornaments created by interweaving threads. We will create a plot composition in the form of a circle with drawn lines; a thread will run along them, serving as the basis.

All work is carried out using weft threads. Hiding under a complex name ordinary ropes and braid, from which weaving and decorative patterns are created.

• choose a strong thread to create the base;
• pulling the weft thread should be done by hand;
• To make the tapestry more dense, you can press the threads to the center; for this, use a simple fork.

Stage one. We draw out cardboard measuring 500 x 500 mm. We stitch the cardboard with the thread chosen for the base. To do this, cut the markings drawn on the cardboard and thread a rope through the lines so that it runs through the central part.

Stage two. Let's start weaving the tapestry. You need to carefully fix the starting thread. Weaving using the tapestry technique involves pulling the underlying cord by alternating one thread at the top and the second at the bottom.

Stage three. After weaving the last turn of the thread around the cardboard circle, you need to turn the resulting rug over to the reverse side and cut off the base cords. When pruning, leave about 5cm at the ends. Pull the ends of the laces out of the notches made on the cardboard (there is no need to remove the picture while pulling it out) and tie them into pairs. Attach pompoms to the resulting knots.

Complete the composition by sewing a thick rope from the wrong side in a circle - this will hide the knots and ends of the threads.

Advice. By using different textures and shades of threads, you can make different rugs and then combine them into one. You will get a large rug that can be hung on the wall or laid on the floor.

A tapestry rug placed on the floor will make it warmer and also looks beautiful. Weave tapestry rug It’s not difficult to do it yourself: try it and see for yourself.

Ribbon curtain

You can make an unusual curtain from ribbons. Tape curtains are suitable for both windows and doors. Making curtains from ribbons will take a little time; you don’t even need a sewing machine. A fluttering ribbon curtain repels insects well; Previously, such curtains were made from newspapers cut into strips.

To make a curtain from ribbons, you need the following materials:

• ribbons or fabric strips (with edges that do not fray);
• cornice;
• clips or buttons.

The ribbons need to be thrown over the cornice and secured with clamps. Large beads can be strung onto fabric strips for decoration.

The ribbon curtain performs not only a practical, but also a decorative function. The advantage of curtains made from ribbons is their lightness. This great option for a dacha, a ribbon curtain can be hung in an apartment.

Flower pots made from paper bags

Many people have houses paper bags, instead of throwing them away, make a flower pot out of them.

Materials for making flower pots:

• paper bags;
• wooden skewer;
• scissors;
• rope;
• glue;
• plastic container.

Take paper bags and mark them: eight strips measuring 70x300 mm, then cut the paper along the dotted lines.

Place a wooden skewer in the corner of one of the strips and wrap the paper base around it diagonally. You must make a paper tube from each strip. Tape the corners of the paper tubes to prevent them from unraveling. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun.

Take a plastic container, apply glue to it and wrap it with paper (from the same bags) so that the plastic is not visible. Glue paper tubes to the bottom of the container. Cut paper strips measuring 70x450 mm (you will need large bags) and make tubes.

Wrap the tubes so that they are pressed tightly against the walls of the container. Attach a long tube of paper with glue to the bottom of the container and wrap it around it, you need to braid the main tubes. Wrap all the main tubes, and then change the direction of weaving to braid the missing tubes - this way you need to wrap the entire container.

Make two holes in the sides of the pot (top).

Stretch a string through the holes made; tie a knot at each end of the twine to secure it well. Another woven tube will help hide the ends of the twine. Wrap the tubes protruding above the pot inside the container and secure with glue.

The unusual flower pot is ready.
