Fauna + Flora Rug.
Smooth rug with natural ornaments in a small size. It makes the same impression as a large one. And all because a bright print with a sense of humor will enliven even a boring room.

For the effect you need:

• heavy fabric, preferably water-repellent;
• cardboard;
• scissors, English pins;
• fabric paint, or felt-tip pens for drawing on fabric (Krylon pens).

Wide cardboard is needed for the stencil. Draw the outline of the future rug. Do not strive for the correctness of the lines, your “author’s style” is more suitable for the craft. Mark the animal or flower stripes with bold lines. Cut them out in cardboard, and then transfer them to the fabric through a stencil fixed with needles. Finish the stripes if necessary. Once the paint has dried, fix part of the rug under the furniture. Get ready to receive compliments from guests!

Beautiful marble effect.
Heavy marble stone won’t fit in every apartment. Handmade marble, on the other hand, is a lightweight effect of noble texture.

Collect:

• Nail polish, 2-3 colors + clear;
• clear glasses;
• container;
• acetone;
• toothpicks;
• masking tape.

Limit the painting area with scotch tape. Next, prepare to act very quickly, as the varnish hardens quickly. Pour water into a container, open the varnishes and drop a little of each, one on top of the other. Swipe the toothpick 5-6 times over the resulting stain to mix the shades. Dip the part of the glass prepared for the pattern into it.

As soon as the varnish grabs onto the surface, gently but confidently pull it out. Wait until the object dries and fix what you have obtained with transparent enamel, and wipe off the unnecessary with acetone. You can assemble a whole set this way!

Decorating with photos on a backing
Large forms with real images will turn the hall, hallway, kitchen into an art space. It takes a little imagination and:

• a photo of good quality (resolution from 300 dpi);
• plastic base;
• wall hooks;
• double-sided adhesive tape.

Choose a photo with meaning. Black and white or color doesn’t really matter. Determine the size, add to it on all sides about 5 cm for folds. Print the photo. Wrap lightweight plastic (thin foam plastic is acceptable) of the desired area, secure the edges with tape. You can use glue, but choose clear glue. Add fasteners to the inside. Now the happy moment of your life will be repeated again when you look at the canvas.

Pop art in the interior
Note for the photographer: a spectacular photo triptych will turn out if one picture is divided into three parts and executed on separate substrates.

An interior garden of living plants
A modified hedge for urban housing made of succulents. These are small plants with a special tissue structure that holds water for a long time. Combinations of many species look futuristic. That’s why designers love “fatty plants.”

Take:

• plants;
• metal mesh;
• a potting vessel;
• nails;
• soil, drainage.

Those who at least once planted any flowers, you should not have any difficulties. Pour drainage (better for cacti) in a pot, or a specially allocated container in the furniture, soil, lay a grid on top. Secure it on top with staples, nails, or a frame of wood if you want beautiful edges of the pot. Plant the succulents close together so there is no empty space between them. Water liberally, but on fully dried soil, spray with a fine sprayer, enjoy the eco-interior!

Improvised fruit bowl.
Glassware is a versatile transformer for assembling new patterns of utensils.

Find for the transformation:

• 2 glasses;
• 3 plates of different diameters from 20 cm;
• water-resistant glue.
• Fruit bowl with your own hands

Wash all the parts with glass cleaner, let dry, degrease with alcohol or vodka with a cotton pad, working particularly carefully on the joints. Pedantically apply a particularly strong bonding compound to the edges of the glass, without missing a millimeter. Place the glass strictly in the center of the plate, pressing down firmly. For a three-story fruit bowl, repeat the operation 2 times. Try not to go over the edge and not to get your fingers dirty. If necessary, remove excess adhesive. Use as soon as the product is completely dry. Except for fruit, berries, suitable for tartlets with caviar or jam. Wash as normal dishes.
