Cool DIY kitchen crafts. We make various designer things with our own hands: useful little things for the kitchen

Handmade art, a very popular trend in interior design today, not only allows you to decorate the kitchen, but also make its decor individual and unique. Useful crafts DIY kitchen projects only require free time and imagination, and there are a lot of interesting ideas.

A lot of useful and inexpensive little things can add charm to any interior. Let's try to conduct a small handmade master class, focusing on the most interesting and unusual solutions.

The materials for decoration can be chosen in a variety of ways, but they must be combined in color and texture with the rest of the decorative elements and style of the kitchen.

Let's imagine using textiles

Crafts made from fabric for the kitchen, of course, must match the texture of the fabric and the design of the decor and be harmoniously combined in color with the rest of the interior items.

From the simplest fabrics or unnecessary scraps you can create many useful and stylish accessories for kitchen:

Of course, the most diverse interesting options curtains;
Potholders(see also the article Crocheting potholders for the kitchen - creativity at home);
Interesting and unusual dolls for a teapot;
Elegant napkins and tablecloths for festive tea parties;

Beautiful and stylish covers for chairs and stools.

Advice. For needlework, it is better to take new fabrics, or scraps left over from previous works.

Although the country of craftsmen sometimes advises using old unnecessary things for crafts, they are unlikely to look beautiful and stylish. An old, worn-out item will never become new and elegant.

Let’s take a closer look at how you can easily create a creative and unusual product without any professional skills. On our website you can see detailed video instructions for sewing curtains for the kitchen, so we will not dwell on this point in detail.

Original oven mitts for hot dishes

Let's conduct a small master class on sewing little things that are so necessary in the kitchen.

We will need the following materials for sewing:

Pattern pattern;
Fifty centimeters each of cotton fabric, batting and fleece.

Advice. It is better to choose a dark, non-staining fabric with a pattern and color that is in harmony with the dishes and kitchen decoration.

Ribbon for edging, you can also use bias tape, which is sold in sewing stores;
You will also need a marker, scissors, and thread.

Detailed instructions for sewing potholders are as follows:

We measure the size of the hand by placing it on transparent paper and tracing it with a marker;
Based on the resulting stencil, we make a pattern by folding the fabric in half;

We will need the following number of such parts: two from fabric, two from batting and four from fleece.

Important. We cut out one part with the thumb turned to the right. And one with a thumb to the left. This rule should be followed if the piece of fabric is small and cannot be folded in half.

We put the fleece pieces and one batting piece together, fasten them with pins and sew them diagonally;
We do the same with the other two parts - we have the inside of the glove;
We sew it together using a stencil and cut off the excess. Do not forget to leave the hole unsewn in order to put on the glove;
To make the mitten comfortable to use, we make a small cut in the palm in the center of the product. Now the fabric will not “pull” and the potholder will bend easily;
Turn the product inside out. We pin the bias tape or ribbon with pins, as shown in the photo, and carefully sew it on the machine;

We do the same with the second potholder;
Cozy, comfortable, and most importantly, completely exclusive oven mitts are ready for the kitchen.

Of course, the price of this accessory is low, and it can be purchased in any store (see also the article Do-it-yourself kitchen mitts - the occupation of our grandmothers). But it’s difficult to choose even such a small detail according to the color and texture of the fabric.

Covers for chairs and stools

If you decide to decorate your kitchen in French classic or rustic style Provence, then you can’t do without covers for chairs and stools. Many people think that DIY kitchen crafts are a difficult and painstaking task.

Let's try to convince the skeptics. With the help of pins, beautiful fabric and a few machine stitches, you can complement your interior design with a stylish and personalized accessory.

To complete the work we will need:

Centimeter;
Sharp scissors;
Chalk or soap;
Sewing pins;
Rubber;
Gold-colored safety pins;
Lace or stitching;
Cotton or flowy synthetic fabric, depending on the selected design style. As you can see in the photo, the texture of the fabric can be very diverse.

Advice. The Provence style involves chintz or satin fabrics with fine floral pattern violet-blue, muted hue. A classic french style requires light flowing fabrics with gold or silver embroidery, depending on the details of the kitchen interior.

The sewing process consists of the following steps:

First, we measure the dimensions of our chairs or stools; the pattern for the chair and stool will be different. Let's consider a simpler option - a stool;
We take measurements from the seat of the stool. To hem the edge of the product, add ten centimeters on all sides;
We sheathe the resulting square around the perimeter. We take into account that the hemmed edges must have a distance for stretching the elastic;

We stretch the elastic around the perimeter and tighten the fabric with beautiful folds on the seat of the stool from below;
The country of craftsmen also advises sewing lace or stitching around the perimeter of the cover, which will make the cover on the stool more elegant and flirty;
If you plan to decorate the back of the chair and the seat, then we make two covers - for the back and for the seat, having previously taken the dimensions.

Important. When making a cover for a chair seat, the fabric must be folded in half and sewn around the perimeter, leaving only one narrow side of the product unsewn so that it can be put on the back. The bottom is also tightened with an elastic band.

The question arises, why are silver and gold safety pins needed? With their help, you can attach a flirty bow made of organza or colored ribbon in a contrasting color to one corner of a chair or stool.

DIY kitchen crafts can be made from almost any available materials, you just have to use your imagination.

For example, it is very convenient to make hangers for kitchen utensils or cups from ordinary old forks:

The side tines of the fork are bent at an angle of ninety degrees, creating a kind of original hook;
Next, using a screwdriver, we attach the fork by the handle to the screws either to the wall or to some kind of interesting detail. An unusual piece of driftwood or a curved piece of chrome pipe;
This gadget will highlight the design of a kitchen in a new wave or high-tech style.

The pattern on the plate is selected according to the design of the entire interior or in bright contrast with other items in the kitchen

For example, for a country-style kitchen, an ordinary round electronic clock can be made from an ordinary colorful ceramic bright flat plate in an ethnic style. Drill a hole in the center and insert a pin for the arrows into it. And from the wrong side we use glue to fasten the entire mechanism of simple electronic watch and don't forget about the fasteners.
And a watch like the one in the photo will complement the interior in a modern techno style.

Paper towels;
Kitchen scissors.

Instructions:

Make sure your container is clean and dry, then fill it tightly with spaghetti. When the container is full, remove the spaghetti and add a couple more bunches of pasta to the pile as a reserve (in case you make up for broken sticks).
Divide the spaghetti evenly between the bags and pour enough alcohol into the bags to wet all the sticks. Next, add 10-40 drops of food coloring to each bag.

Seal or tie your bags, then place them in additional bags to avoid leaks. Slowly shake and turn the bags to mix the coloring into the alcohol and pasta. Next, place the bag on one side and leave for 30 minutes, then turn the bag over again and leave it for another half hour. Continue soaking the spaghetti in this manner (no more than 3 hours) until it reaches the desired shade.

In this master class, 30 tubes were required to weave 2 baskets.
If necessary (for example, if you used newspaper sheets) or if desired, paint the tubes with acrylic paint.
Take an even number of tubes and connect them together as shown in the photo in the upper left corner. In this master class, for a basket the size of a jam jar, 6 tubes were required, for a larger basket - 8 tubes.

Start braiding: Take one of the outer tubes (which is under the grate) and lay it over the adjacent tube, then pass it under the next tube, then run the tube again over the next tube, etc. Continue weaving by lifting the already entwined tubes vertically (from now on we will call these tubes stands).
When 2-3 cm remains from the first working tube, increase its length. To do this, apply glue to the new tube and insert it into the remaining “tail”. Continue weaving over and over again, adding paper tubes as needed.
Once you weave the base required diameter(the same size as the container), place the container on it and begin weaving around it, pulling the stand tubes close to the walls.
Having weaved the basket to the end, remove the jar and carefully wrap the end of the working tube into the weave.
Tuck the ends of the posts inside the weave and trim if necessary. Next, you can spray paint from a can as in our master class.

Idea 11. Wall holder for towels and kitchen utensils

From an ordinary grater you can make such a convenient and beautiful holder for a towel and storage of kitchen utensils or even live or artificial plants.

From a flat grater you can make your own kitchen decor in a country, Provence or shabby chic style

To make a heated towel rail and a tray for small items you will need:

A grater (preferably an old one, but a regular new grater will do, as long as it is metal);
Patina for metal (for artificial aging of the grater);
A small cutting board or just a wooden board;
Wooden die (for the bottom of the grater);
Glue.

Instructions:

Following the manufacturer's instructions, cover the grater with a metal patina, for example, green as in this master class.

Install a wooden bottom in the inside. It must first be cut to the size of the upper part of the grater. As a rule, at the top of the grater there are protrusions from metal handles; it is on them that the bottom will be attached.
Screw the grater to the board using self-tapping screws, having previously made nail holes and a hammer.
Place the board on the wall near the sink, hang a towel on the handle, and put your spatulas, ladles or flowers inside.

Idea 12. Flower vase

Glass bottles for wine, milk or other drinks are almost ready-made vases that are just waiting to be painted with acrylic paints and/or trimmed.

If friendship begins with a smile, then good hostess It starts with the kitchen. This means not only the preparation of dishes, but also appearance this room. Any guest who enters the house pays attention, first of all, to the decor.

So, the renovation is done, the kitchen shines with newness and beauty, but something is missing. But what is missing is properly arranged kitchen utensils and, of course, completed with caring hands accessories.

It can be:

panels of various subjects;
potholders;
a hand-sewn apron;
teapot warmer;
a picture of salt dough and so on and so forth.

Methods and options

Let's take a closer look at the abundance of options made as a complement to kitchen interior. So:

Potholders

This is the first thing that comes to mind. And, indeed, every housewife has this product. It is an ordinary square or a mitten that protects the hand from a hot object.

However, if we fantasize and approach this from a creative side, then we may end up with, for example,:

apple;
butterfly;
strawberry;
flower and other things that our imagination is capable of.

Process Features

Let's take a quick look at the main points of sewing a butterfly potholder:

First, you need to transfer the silhouette of the selected butterfly to the wrong side of the fabric twice. To do this, use a special pencil or a piece of soap.

We transfer two parts of each butterfly wing onto the fabric.
We sew three parts together: a butterfly + two wings. We insert batting between the fabric.
Next, we place one wing on each side of this blank and sew them only along the outer contour of the part.
Thus, a pocket for fingers was formed in the middle of the potholder.
The edges of our butterfly can be decorated by trimming them with silk ribbon.

Note!
These products can not only be sewn from fabric.
For those who crochet, it won't take much effort to create a unique potholder for the kitchen with your own hands.

Panel

This art form covers many techniques:

sewing;
embroidery;
modeling;
drawing, etc.

I would like to draw your attention in more detail to kitchen crafts made from salt dough. To prepare it, no special ingredients are required, so the price of the craft will be affordable to anyone who just wants to show their creative abilities.

Preparation

The dough for the panel is kneaded in the following proportion: 200 grams of flour + 200 grams fine salt+ 100 grams of water. It is advisable to add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for elasticity..

Knead the dough until smooth, which should not stick to your hands or crumble. Next, wrap the resulting mixture in plastic bag and keep it in the refrigerator for about one hour.

Then we perform all the actions that we do with regular dough: roll it out, mold it. We form the details and elements that we have in mind, put them into a single composition and get original decor for kitchen.

Kitchen towels

These devices are a necessity. You can, of course, buy them - the shelves in stores are littered with these household items, or you can make them yourself.

A great option would be a doll whose dress is a towel. Thanks to the closure (loop and button), you can easily change outfits depending on your mood or situation.

Apron

In order to sew an apron to your own taste, you need, first of all, to choose a suitable pattern.

Have you noticed how our mood changes depending on the clothes we wear?

A banal apron can be turned into a source Have a good mood, because it has already been proven that our energy is transferred to the products that we prepare.

You can make an apron from scraps of fabric that once turned out to be superfluous.
Come up with: appliques, braid, ruffles.
Provide pockets for useful items, etc.

For your information!
When sewing an apron, it is recommended to choose thick, waterproof fabric.
This will protect the areas of the body it covers from unforeseen circumstances.
For example, from drops of fat splashed from a frying pan or water that accidentally fell on you.

Decoupage

Decoupage for the kitchen is a technique of applying patterns using napkins.

This process can be performed on almost any surface, for example:

furniture;
dishes;
cutting boards;
bottles, cereal cans, cups and other containers.

Work process

Let's decorate the cutting board, so let's get started:

To begin with, the board is sanded on all sides.
Then we apply acrylic paint to the surface and wait for it to dry.
Next we take croquelure1 ( special composition), and cover the board with it on top using a brush. We wait about 20 minutes - the surface should be a little sticky.
Next layer - acrylic paint. Let it dry completely.
Next is a layer of croquelure2, again waiting for it to dry.

Apply to a completely dry base acrylic lacquer, the napkin will lie better on such a surface.
Having chosen the desired picture, cut it out and glue it with varnish and a brush.
Next is another layer of varnish.
You can use oil paint and darken the background of the board. The edges can be treated with an aging compound. After this, we apply another 4-5 layers of varnish and the decor of the board is ready!

Summary

We have looked at only a small part of how a kitchen space can be transformed with the help of accessories. Creativity and the proper use of elements can create an incredible atmosphere in every kitchen.

The main thing in this matter is the desire to act. And the video in this article will complement this story interesting information. Good luck in creating a fairy tale!
