If you have a couple of evenings to spare, then why not start making crafts for the kitchen and home? After all, with your own hands from improvised, natural and even waste materials, you can create a bunch of useful or just beautiful little things. In this article, we presented 50 inspiring photos and 12 super ideas with step-by-step master classes for making decor items, storage accessories, kitchen utensils and more.

Idea 1. Cutting board tablet holder

Watching your favorite TV shows on a tablet or peeking into a recipe book while cooking will become easier if you make a special stand for this from ... an ordinary cutting board. Making this DIY kitchen craft will take no more than two hours, and it will be used every day.

To make a holder for a recipe book or tablet you will need:

• You can either use an old cutting board or buy a new one (wooden is best, but bamboo works too). Its size should not be much larger or smaller than the tablet.
• A small wooden plank, or better a molding fragment (it will hold the tablet / book).

• Another block of wood or plywood from which you can cut a sharp triangle;
• Paint or stain in the desired color, for example, to match countertops, fronts or kitchen apron ;
• Brush for painting or rags for staining;
• Jigsaw or saw;
• Wood glue or any other strong adhesive.

Instruction:

1. Using a saw or jigsaw, shorten your plank or molding to the desired size (the width of the board), sand the edges with sandpaper, then simply glue on the bottom of the board.

1. Cut out a piece of wood to support the stand in the shape of an acute triangle with a right angle as in the photo below and glue it too.

The angle of inclination of the holder will depend on the inclination of the hypotenuse of the triangular bar

1. Paint the entire piece following the paint manufacturer's instructions and leave to dry.

1. If desired, the handle of the resulting stand can be decorated with a jute rope or ribbon. Thus, when the stand is not needed, you can hang it on a hook.

Also, the craft can be further decorated - for example, artificially age as in this master class, draw inscriptions, burn out the drawing, cover with slate paint. In the next selection of photos, you can get decor ideas for original cutting boards.

Idea 2. Jute coasters

If your kitchen (or, for example, a country or summer kitchen) is decorated in a rustic, mediterranean, rustic or nautical style, then you will surely love this kitchen craft idea. In just a couple of hours, you can make coasters for plates for the whole family and guests with your own hands.

To make one substrate with a diameter of 33 cm, you will need:

• 10 meters of jute rope 1 cm thick (sold in hardware and hardware stores);
• Hot glue gun;
• Scissors.

Instruction:

Just start winding the rope in a circle, alternately smearing small sections with glue and fixing them for a while. When the mat is formed, cut the end of the rope and glue it.

Idea 3. Organizer for cutlery and kitchen appliances from cans

Tin cans cost nothing, but they are durable, easy to care for, and their shape is just right for storing all kinds of spatulas, ladles, forks, spoons and other utensils. With a little effort and creativity, you can make a convenient and pretty organizer out of them, which, if it doesn’t fit into the interior of the city kitchen, will definitely take root in the country. And a do-it-yourself organizer made from cans can be used to store tools, brushes, felt-tip pens and other small things.

Stand for spoons and forks from cans

To make such a stand for spoons and forks, you will need:

• 4 or 6 clean and dried cans without lids and burrs;
• Acrylic paint for metal or enamel paint (it will protect the cans from rust);
• A few wood screws and a screwdriver;
• Thick nail and hammer;
• Furniture handle or leather strap with fittings;
• A small wooden board.

Instruction:

1. Paint the jars inside and out and let them dry for one day.
2. If necessary, saw the wooden plank to the desired size, sand, clean and finally paint (not necessarily the same color as the cans).
3. Take a nail and a hammer and make a hole for a self-tapping screw in all the jars.

Tip: To facilitate this process and not damage the paint layer, place a small bar on the table with a clamp, then wrap the bar with felt and only then put a jar on the bar (see the picture in the next photo collage in the lower left corner)

1. Attach the jars to the plank and align them as they will be mounted later. Mark the holes on the board with a pencil.
2. Punch small holes in the board at the marks using a hammer and nail.

1. Screw a self-tapping screw into the hole in the first can to attach it to the plank. Repeat the procedure with all remaining banks.
2. Finally, install a furniture handle or leather strap on the end of the wooden board using the same self-tapping screws. Ready!

Here are a few other deco ideas and design modifications for cans.

Idea 4. Topiary for kitchen or home decor

Topiary is a small decorative tree that decorates a dining or coffee table, chest of drawers or mantelpiece. Also, a topiary is a great addition to a gift, especially if you decorate its crown with, say, sweets or flowers. Making such crafts with your own hands does not take much time, does not require the use of expensive materials, and even beginners can do it. Having mastered the basic principle, you will be able to create topiaries for any occasion, any shape and design. Take a look at our selection of DIY home decor photo ideas, you will surely like something!

Halloween Kitchen Decor Idea

To make crafts you will need:

• Styrofoam, plastic or floral foam base in the form of a ball or other desired shape;
• Trunk (a smooth branch of a tree, a pencil or any other small stick);
• Decorative elements for creating a crown: coffee beans, artificial flowers, cones, colored beans, etc.;
• Decor to mask the pot filler, such as moss, pebbles or sisal fiber;
• Flower pot;
• Filler for the pot, which will fix the trunk. For example, cement mortar is suitable, all the same polystyrene or alabaster (the best option);
• Hot glue gun;
• If necessary, you will need paint to decorate the trunk, base or pot. Also, the trunk can be decorated with ribbon or twine.

Basic instruction:

1. To begin with, it is desirable to paint the base in the color of the crown elements so that possible bald spots are not noticeable. You can also paint the trunk and pot and leave them to dry.
2. Cut a hole at the base of the crown for the trunk a couple of centimeters deep, fill it with glue and fix the trunk.
3. Take the base of the crown and start gluing decorative details one by one. The principle of operation at this stage is simple: first, large parts are glued, then medium ones, and finally, small elements fill in the bald spots. You need to glue the decor quickly, until the glue is absorbed into the base.
4. Dilute the stem fixing mixture in the pot according to the manufacturer's instructions and fill the pot with it, not reaching a couple of centimeters from the edge. Next, insert the barrel, hold it for a while and then leave it to dry for a day.
5. Mask the filling of the pot with a decorative "cover" (you can fix it a little with glue).

Idea 5. Serving board-tray

But the idea of ​​​​an unusual serving board-tray, which, although not a cutting board (intended for laying out products only in dishes), can nevertheless be very functional. For example, it can be used to beautifully serve snacks for drinks (olives, pistachios, nuts, chips, etc.), sauces, honey, sour cream, jam. Thanks to the slate part, while the board is not used for its intended purpose, it can simply be hung on the wall and used for writing.

To make this DIY kitchen craft, you will need:

• Wooden board 5 cm thick;
• Stain of the desired color (for example, to match the countertop);
• Sponge, rag or brush;
• Slate paint;
• Two furniture handles and wood screws for their fastening;
• Jigsaw or saw;
• Screwdriver or screwdriver;
• Ruler, pencil.

Instruction:

1. Cut your board to the desired size with a hand/electric saw or jigsaw. In this master class, the board is 60 cm long, but you can make it shorter or longer.
2. Paint your board with stain according to the manufacturer's instructions and let dry.

1. It's time to paint the inside. To do this, first glue masking tape around the edges of the board to limit the painting area. Next, apply slate paint (in this case, paint in a can) and let it dry.

1. Screw the handles around the edges of the board.

You can replace furniture handles with leather straps, paint the board in a bright color, burn a design on it, or attach two “legs” to its back.

Idea 6. Stand for mugs and glasses

If you're the type of person who collects wine corks (whether for fun or in the hope of making something useful out of them someday), then you'll love this craft idea.

To make one coaster you will need:

• 8 corks (respectively, for the manufacture of a set of 4 coasters, 32 corks are required);
• A roll of cork board, mat, or plate coaster (for cutting out the base of the coasters);
• Hot glue;
• Leg-split.

Step 1. Arrange your corks in pairs in a square format, as shown in the photo below. Using hot glue, apply a bead of glue between two corks and press them together for 30 seconds. Repeat the process for all other pairs.

Step 2. From a sheet cork (board, rug), cut a square corresponding to the size of the future stand. Next, apply hot glue on it, wait 15-20 seconds. and glue your blanks.

Step 3. Fill the gaps between the plugs with glue and let it dry. For better adhesion of the glue to the corks, you can put some kind of press on the workpiece.

Step 4. Wrap the craft with twine and tie a knot.

Do-it-yourself coasters for mugs, glasses and glasses can be beautifully packaged and presented to a friend

If desired, the coasters can be made round, triangular or hexagonal, cutting off the excess with a knife.

According to the described principle, you can make such a hot stand with your own hands. By the way, in this case, an old CD will do as a basis.

Idea 7. Wall panel

Another idea for crafts for home and kitchen that you can make with your own hands from wine corks is a wall panel for decorating the interior and storing notes, memorable photos and postcards.

Panel of corks in a frame from Ikea

To work, you only need a beautiful frame (from a picture or a mirror), paint of the desired color, hot glue and a large pile of corks. Corks can be laid out in a herringbone pattern, checkerboard pattern, even rows, and in other ways that you like. If necessary, for example, if there are not enough traffic jams, they can be cut lengthwise or across. And to make the corks easier to cut, they need to be soaked in hot water for 10 minutes.

Other interesting ideas for making wall panels with your own hands.

Idea 8. Universal knife holder

A knife holder is a very useful tool in the kitchen that helps keep your workspace tidy and keeps your knife blades sharp longer.

Making a knife holder with your own hands is very easy - just pick up a small vase and fill it tightly with bamboo / wooden skewers, colored beans or ... colored spaghetti, as in our master class.

To make a knife stand, prepare:

• A container or vase is the height of the blade of your largest knife. The shape of the container can be any, but without any bends;
• Spaghetti, lots and lots of spaghetti;
• Several large ziplock bags (or just large bags that can be tightly tied into a knot);
• Alcohol (for example, vodka);
• Liquid food coloring in your desired color (or multiple colors if you want to make a multi-color filling)
• baking sheets;
• Aluminum foil or an old oilcloth tablecloth;
• Paper towels;
• Kitchen scissors.

Instruction:

1. Make sure your container is clean and dry, then fill it tightly with spaghetti. When the container is full, take out the spaghetti and add a couple more bunches of pasta to this pile as a spare (in case of replenishing broken sticks).
2. Divide the spaghetti evenly among the bags and pour enough alcohol into them so that it can wet all the sticks. Next, add 10-40 drops of food coloring to each bag.

1. Seal or tie your bags, then put them in additional bags to avoid leaks. Slowly shake and turn the bags to mix the dye into the alcohol and pasta. Next, lay 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 way (no more than 3 hours) until it reaches the desired color.
2. Cover your baking sheet with aluminum foil, then a layer of paper towels (or oilcloth). It is advisable to wear gloves to protect your hands from staining. Remove the spaghetti from the bags, after draining all the liquid, lay them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and leave to dry. From time to time, spaghetti needs to be sorted out for them to dry evenly.

1. Once your spaghetti is COMPLETELY dry, start putting them in the container.
2. Shake the filled container and flatten the spaghetti. Insert your knives to determine the optimal filling density, add pasta or remove excess if necessary.
3. Now, using kitchen scissors or other very sharp scissors, cut the spaghetti to the desired length without removing it from the container (best done over the sink). It is important that spaghetti does not exceed the height of the container by more than 2-3 cm, otherwise they will break quickly.

Idea 9. Jars for storing spices and bulk products

Today we will talk about the express technique for making paper baskets, which can be used to store small things (keys, stationery), yarn, as well as for unusual serving of fruits, Easter eggs, bread or pastries to the festive table or as a gift.

Even a child can weave such baskets quickly and easily.

You will need:

• About 15 sheets of A3 thin paper, cut in half along the sheets (this can be printer paper, a sheet of newspaper in full spread, and even baking paper);
• A container of a suitable size with straight walls (for example, a jar of jam);
• Glue in a stick;
• One skewer;
• Spray paint (optional).

Instruction:

1. Starting from one corner, begin to roll a sheet of paper tightly around the skewer to a diagonally opposite corner to make a long and even tube. When the straw is ready, add a few dabs of glue to the corner of the paper to fix it in place and pull out the skewer. Do the same for all remaining sheets. In this master class, it took 30 tubes to weave 2 baskets.
2. If necessary (for example, if you used newspaper sheets) or if desired, paint the tubes with acrylic paint.
3. Take an even number of tubes and connect them together as shown in the photo in the upper left corner. In this master class, it took 6 tubes for a basket the size of a jam jar, and 8 tubes for a larger basket.

1. Start braiding: take one of the outer tubes (which is under the grate) and pass it over the adjacent tube, then pass it under the next tube, then pass the tube over the next tube again, and so on. Continue weaving by lifting the already wrapped tubes vertically (now we will call these tubes racks).
2. When 2-3 cm remain from the first working tube, increase its length. To do this, apply glue to a new tube and insert it into the remaining "tail". Continue weaving again and again, adding paper tubes as needed.
3. As soon as you weave the base of the desired diameter (the same size as the container), place the container on it and start weaving around it, pulling the rack tubes close to the walls.
4. Having finished weaving the basket to the end, take out the jar and carefully wrap the end of the working tube in weaving.
5. Wrap the ends of the uprights inside the weave and trim if necessary. Next, you can spray paint from a spray 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 towels and storing kitchen utensils or even live or artificial plants.

From a flat grater, you can make a decor for the kitchen in country style, Provence or Shabby Chic with your own hands

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

• A grater (preferably an old one, but a regular new grater is also suitable, 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 plate (for the bottom of the grater);
• Glue.

Instruction:

1. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to coat the grater with a metal patina, for example, in green, as in this master class.

1. Install a wooden bottom in the inside. It must first be cut to the size of the top 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.
2. Screw the grater to the board with self-tapping screws, having previously made holes in it with a nail and a hammer.
3. Mount the board on the wall near the sink, hang a towel on the handle, 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 acrylics and / or trimmed.
