Easy crafts with homemade products
Again we can see in the images that it is possible to decorate and give use to products and materials that we think we should throw away, such as eggshells. Look at the design of ornaments in the upper photograph, isn’t it great? If we keep the shells in one piece with the empty interior, these can serve as a container to create mini-scenes inside, it is a really great design.
Crafts with plastic bottles
To be able to carry out the following craft we see above, we will need plastic bottles, glue, and paint. First of all, we have to cut two bottles in half, of which we will keep only the parts of the bottom. To form the piece we must fit the two parts of the bottle with each other, and finally, we only have to decorate it with paintings and place some ornaments on the surface with glue.
Stones decorated with colored mandalas
Another of the easy-to-do craft design is stone decoration. Why not give them more life and color? Above we have a great design of river stones decorated with paintings, but … can you guess what these beautiful drawings are? At first sight, they look like flowers, but in reality, these symmetrical forms are mandalas; symbols of the Buddhist culture that favor meditation in certain religious rituals. You can draw mandalas with acrylic paint pens.
Draw figures on river stones
It is said that when creating and contemplating the mandalas, the human mind gets into a state of relaxation and serenity. The circular drawings of a mandala should symbolize the four cardinal points and therefore the center of the universe. This is a suitable and advisable manual for people of all ages for its healing and relaxing effects.

Small storage for clothes or towels is functional and necessary in every home. We can create a storage box for clothes with a cardboard box and some cloth.
The decorative posters for the wall can be made of all kinds of materials: wood, cardboard, fabrics, etc. We can decorate our room or decorate a birthday party with them.
The centerpieces are decorative elements that embellish the family or friends’ meetings. We can always use our creativity and recycling to make amazing crafts.

What do you think of this natural-looking decoration for the living room? Several branches of driftwood and plants in plastic balls are enough to create this design.
