The crop has already been removed, and all the fruits of our work are evident: potatoes, carrots, cabbage, apples, pears and a lot more. What will we do with all this next? Part of laying on storage. Part will go on the workpiece. But this is not all: the harvest can be used in the design ... interior! Yes, yes: everything that has grown in your garden and in the garden is useful to decorate the country house, and if you want, then the city apartment.
You probably thought about large dishes with vegetables and fruits placed around the house, or on Luke and Garlic bundles in the kitchen? And here is not! We are talking about this applied decoration that allows you to create interesting effects in the interior. Well, the harvest is an excellent material for such a decor. By the way, I believe that the crop is all that has grown. Therefore, you can use not only vegetables and fruits, but also leaves, and flowers, and seeds ... a lot of techniques. And they are all available even to those who have never engaged in decoration and can not draw, but I would like to decorate the house stylish, inexpensive and in autumn. Do not doubt: you will have exactly everything!
Let's try to "adapt" the country harvest to update the interior:
Print vegetables and fruit
Want beautiful furniture, unusual curtains and original accessories for a country house? Then create prints with vegetables and fruits - right on the furniture, curtains and accessories. It's very simple! Any fruits are suitable, only dense and not very juicy. So, the cherry is not suitable, and apples are quite. Principle one : Vegetables or fruits are cut in half, paint is applied to these halves, and then they are used as stamps. Just need to press them more stronger to the base, well, and successfully pick up the colors.
This is how, for example, you can decorate apples cutting board for kitchen:
1. We take small apples, cutting on halves.
2. Prepare acrylic paints - green, yellow, red. However, it is possible to blue, and purple - there will be a fantasy decor. Paints pour into the caps from cans or on the palette. Half of the apple dip the cut into several colors alternately or apply paints with a brush.
3. Apply apple half to the board.
4. Hello and remove the stamp. Aprint will appear on the board. In the same way, we create any composition from prints. Here is the best option - to arrange them in 2 rows. Now you can take a thin brush and brown paint to prick seeds and fruits.
5. When the board is dry, you need to cover it with a decorative varnish or "texturing".
Similarly, you can decorate the bedside tables, cabinets, tables and any items, including fabrics - curtains, tablecloths, napkins, pillows, sachets.
Important : for fabric needed Special paints , which are then fixed with the iron (the fabric strokes with an inside of 3 minutes) so that the finished product can be washed.
Vegetable bouquets
Dishes with vegetables and fruits are, of course, well. But too familiar and standard. And what if you make bouquets of vegetables? To do this, you will need wide and not too high ceramic vases.
Put vegetables in a vase approximately as if there were flowers, but between them you can really add separate flowers. Vegetables for such bouquets are not suitable for such bouquets, but mostly "long" roots. If you want to use round, leave the long tops so that they can be fixed. Edible cabbage is better replaced with decorative. Well, how is it worse than roses?
Screening equipment and herbaria
For stencils The best suits the leaves with a complex and beautiful shape. They can decorate vases, caskets, chairs, lockers, countertops. Just wet the leaves with water, "stick" them (all the same water) to the surface and quickly dye all this aerosol paint. After 2 minutes, the leaves take off. And here you have wonderful furniture with prints of real leaves.
In an option with herbarium Fresh leaves (you can dry them with an iron) beautifully declined on the table top and on top pressed with glass cut on the form of this table top.
In any mirror workshop you will make such a glass very inexpensive. The advantage of this method is that it is always possible to change the "exposure".;
Mosaic
Frames for paintings and mirrors, as well as various panels for the interior can be performed in the mosaic technique. And the material for it will serve all sorts of seeds of vegetables and colors that you collected and who were superfluous. Add to them seeds of watermelons and melons, as well as the remnants of old crucibles. What they will look like decor:
- In the first pencil divide the frame on the segments of the simple form - rectangles, squares, strips.
- Then on any segment we apply a layer of glue.
- We take the seeds or a corpse of one of the species and lay out (if small, then we smell) on glue close to each other. Align the wand.
- Go to the next fragment: I also apply glue and spread a barrier of another species on it.
- Step by step fill all the frame segments. Just make sure that there is no same.
- The finished thing is covered with non-aqueous varnish (it provides good safety even with high humidity and pest protection).
Details of the process you can view in the video:
Lepunina
Very unusual decor. But the harvest in this case is not directly used, but plays an auxiliary role.
- We take beautiful and large leaves - the larger and expressive, the better.
- Prepare a gypsum solution.
- We make casts from gypsum from our vegetable material.
- We succeed well, and then we use as a panel.
Usually, there are clearly visible streaks and other sectoral features. And to paint them or not - the case of taste.
Similarly, you can use not only plaster, but, for example, concrete. Then you will have an original drinking bowl for birds or tiles for a step garden track.
Fighting
In essence, it is temporary storage, and unusual design. So you can do at least floor lamp - If you put on a high outdoor fiber vase, say, a sunny garden lamp in the shape of a ball. Or coffee table - If you put glass on the aquarium with a backfill. For squinting the table, any "filling" will suit. If we are in the country, even the firewood will rise: why not?
Candles
For candles, it is best to use pumpkins or zucchini. They have thick and durable peel, and besides, they are such elegant! Pumpkin, however, you need to take small varieties or decorative.
1. We take a sharp knife and cut a pumpkin (in our case decorative) from above. We make slits so that the hole is the hole.
2. Now we take a teaspoon with a sharp end and carefully embarrass the flesh.
3. Insert wick to the hole. Fix it with a wooden stick or a skewer.
4. Collect the spars of old candles. You can also multicolored. Finely cut or rub on the grater, we put in the bucket and we melt in a water bath.
5. Now we fill the molten mass into the pumpkin, following the wick not shifted, but remained in the center. Fitoli can be bought in advance, but you can take from old candles.
6. We put a pumpkin on the cold window. There, the candlestones quickly hardens. Here is our "pumpkin" candle!
Tableware and caskets
From the same zucchini and pumpkins, including from large copies, the caskets or objects of the dishes are easy - a variety of cups, bowls, salad bowls, stands for instruments or spices.
But here Special attention will be paid to Preparation of raw materials . Vegetables need very carefully Slide and dry (Best on the battery) For a month . Then the dishes will be "long-playing".
From a large orange ribbed pumpkin, you can make a beautiful barrel for serving the pickles to the table.
Pumpkin will need to decorate with decorative ribbons- "hoops" and draw the carnations with a metal contour (or take real decorative furniture).
And if you want to make the caskets from these vegetables, do not forget to keep the "lids". The caskets themselves can be decorated with ribbons, lace, buttons - in general, any beautiful trifles that are found in the house.
"Aroma sticks"
Pleasant smells are also part of the image of your home. And it is better that they are natural, and not synthetic.
Usually for this apply Aromalamps with essential oils or aroma sticks . But they can be completely replaced, and a very unusual way. For example, to use a slide, which is probably found in the vicinity of each cottage.
We will need dry stems of perennial plants (including weeds, which are circle in excess). Osim, Shatun-Grass (dicentre), Golden Balls (Rudbeckia dissected) and Golden (High weed, blooming with yellow metels). Their stems hold the smells for a very long time. Here we will make "aromatic sticks" for home. Only burn them is not worth it.
- Cut (or broke) stems on the segments of about 10-15 cm. For beauty, you can leave several upper parts with inflorescences.
- If you want, paint or toning them into any color. To do this, I take the usual Acrylic water-based paint (Other paints break the porous structure of the stalks).
- You can collect "Design". The first option is "snappings." We fold the stalks and bandage the hemp rope. Depending on the form, the snaps can be suspended or put. The second option is a decorative ball from the vine. Slash in it a small hole and insert a bunch of stems and bullets.
- We take the essential oil and apply a few drops on the stalks. The choice of flavor is to your taste.
That's all. Now in the house reigns autumn abundance, beauty and pleasant fragrance. Do you decorate your country houses?
