This is the only place where you feel in harmony with nature and the surrounding world. Therefore, all the finishing materials used for design should not spoil the overall perception of the site.

Nature is perfect in itself. Look closely around. There are so many different ideas in nature, you will not find anywhere else. Your crafts made of natural materials can bring not only aesthetic satisfaction, but also carry practical meaning. We suggest that you consider several options, how you can decorate the house and the garden with only natural raw materials.

Let's start with the entrance hall of the villa. You just can not do without a hanger. And what could be better for its manufacture, how not an interesting form a thick branch with numerous knots? There are a lot of options for the execution of such crafts from natural materials. If you are clearing your site of young growth, and among the sawn trees there is a trunk about 10-15 centimeters in diameter, it will become an ideal hanger in the hallway. To do this, shorten it to the desired height. Chop off the branches, leaving knots length of 15 centimeters. Cut out the base with dimensions 30x30 centimeters from the thick plywood, and use a long self-tapping screw to connect it to the barrel. Cover the product with varnish and allow to dry completely.

Another version of such an article made of natural materials, like a hanger, is made no less simply and quickly. You need a small piece of board, screws and tree branches. From the branches cut small pieces. Choose places where the thicker branches grow thinner. We obtain several details in the form of the letter "Y". The long side of this workpiece is screwed to the board with the help of screws, and the smaller part serves as a crochet for clothes. Finish the finished product with varnish.

We pass into the room. Here you can place a variety of crafts and souvenirs made of natural materials. Do you have a simple mirror? Then make for him a beautiful frame of birch bark. To do this, cut the birch bark strips of the same size from the birches and put them under the press for several days. From straight strips cut pieces in the form of rectangles. Cut out the back of the plywood. It should be 2 centimeters larger than the mirror. On the perimeter, drill holes at a distance of 1 centimeter from the edge and each other.

From the prepared rectangles make the frame edging. Make holes at a distance of 1 centimeter from three sides of the workpieces, not touching only the one that will be internal. With the hemp rope, sew the workpieces together. The inner side of the edging is cut out with a pair of scissors. Now lay the back wall on the table. On it, place the mirror and cover it with the finished edging. Connect the frame with a hemp rope. Make a loop, for which the finished product will be suspended to the wall. Such a frame can be painted or decorated with carvings. But even without additional finishing it will look great.

You can make interesting crafts from natural materials for children. Using such material as birch bark, make the baby a beautiful pencil. For this, prepare and straighten several strips under the press. Cut out a rectangular piece from one piece. Make holes from the short sides and sew it with a hemp rope. The received pipe put on another piece of birch bark and circle the bottom. Cut it out. Make holes throughout the diameter. Just puncture the lower edge of the pipe. Connect both parts. Figuratively cut the top edge of the pencil. It will become an excellent storage capacity for markers, pens and colored pencils for your baby.
