Good afternoon. Today we start uploading articles on the topic of DIY wood crafts... In this first article, I want to show you what simple crafts can be made from wood - for both children and adults. Many ideas will fit for work at school- for boys. Some ideas will do for school competition handicrafts made from natural material. Some wooden crafts can become decoration of your summer house or yard... Here you will find a treasure trove of inspiration and joy from the anticipation of such an interesting and simple job. In this article I will prove - what to make beautiful wood crafts everyone can... Because here you will find simple and feasible tasks. Even a fragile woman with a manicure can do half of the crafts in this article. So - let's fall in love with wood art.

Let's start with simple magic.

Tree + sun

Crafts that glow with love.

Here are the simplest and cutest country wood crafts. For crafts, you need a cut of a log (ask when you will be sawing wood with a grinder to make several thin cuts). Or you can do it without a saw cut - just take a board of any size.

We drill holes in the tree so thick that a glass pebble bought in a store will fit into it. Such sets of multi-colored decorative glass stones are sold - in the gift department, and in the department where candles, vases and everything for a holiday decor.

You can simply drill such holes with glass in the board and hang it on the apple tree. You can drill such holes in the fence - if the sun shines into it at a low angle at least once a day.

That's very beautiful. Magically. As in the land of fairies. Your children will be delighted with such wood crafts.

Simple wooden crafts

from the cuts of a log.

If you are sawing logs for firewood in your yard, you are in luck. You can get invaluable craft material for free. Ask the men to cut flat cuts for you, both from small logs and from large ones. Lovingly put them away from the woodpile and start coming up with future wood crafts. For example, let it be wooden owls... It is done simply and looks beautiful. Cuts can be nailed to each other. You can plant them on liquid nails (like glue).

The surface of the cuts can be rough, not sanded (like the bunnies in the photo with the craft). Or you can grind it with sandpaper and even varnish such a craft material. Or paint it in the color you want.

Large cuts can be used to make large country crafts out of wood. And small log cabins (made of thinner twigs and logs) are suitable for miniature crafts - for example, these birds. You can cut branches of this thickness yourself with a hacksaw - by hand, without a chainsaw.

Cuts from a log can become a canvas for art installations. Such wooden crafts-paintings can be made from any natural material. Go to the river and find smooth, flat stones. They will become a source of interesting crafts. The stones are easily painted with felt-tip pens, office bold markers or just gouache (after work, fix the gouache with hairspray or nail polish).

And here is another way to make beautiful AIR crafts from wooden cuts. Openwork through cutting with an electric jigsaw (photo with a maple leaf craft) looks just magical.

Here is a small master class from which you can see how the process of cutting openwork patterns on a thick cut of a tree takes place.

First, outline the stencil with a pencil. Then with a drill we drill holes in the key nodes of the picture. And then with a jigsaw we go from one full of holes to another.

You can come up with the device itself which will help you to cut wood products using a conventional drill. Make an electric jigsaw with your own hands. Holding on to the comfortable grips with your hands, you simply move the device - following the lines of your drawing. The thinner the drill, the finer details of the pattern you can cut with it. Well thought out.

Or you can buy jigsaw- it costs an average of $ 100. You can find and for 50 we do not work on an industrial scale, so it is not necessary to buy a very powerful expensive tool.

Crafts-mosaics

From the cuts of thick branches.

If you have a boring barn wall looking right at you in your summer cottage. Then you need to make it fun. Let's create a shed using wood crafts. Let's make mosaic applique from wood cuts of small size. Such cuts are obtained if you cut thick branches or thin logs with a hacksaw (or chainsaw).

The basis for such a craft from a tree we cut out a sheet of plywood. First, we draw a silhouette of the future craft on it. We cut out the plywood base with a hand jigsaw or a special power tool. And we glue wooden round pieces on it - on liquid nails, on carpentry glue or on hot glue from a pistol.

And even at home you can make from saw cuts decorative frame for a mirror made of wooden rounds(master class in the photo below).

1. Also buy a round mirror. Put it on a sheet of plywood - circle it with a pencil.
2. Step back a few centimeters around the resulting circle (whatever width you want for the frame). And with this indent draw the second circle.
3. Cut a large circle out of plywood. And glue the outer ring with wood cuts. You will get a beautiful wooden craft frame - it remains to glue a mirror on liquid nails in the middle.

LAYERED CRAFTS

made of wood.

This is perhaps my favorite type of wood crafts. Here the baked boards lay on top of each other creating a LAYERED VOLUME of the craft.

Here is a cow craft made from three layers of wooden board. The first layer is the body, the second is the head, the third is the bangs and nose.

You can paint all layers of your craft in one color (like a craft polar bear made of wood) or in different colors (like a craft mouse on the moon- photo below).

Or you can leave the textured wood pattern (as in the crafts with the photo below).

Wood fox has a two-layer structure - a back layer, and the head and tail are laid on it.

Duck craft has 5 layers - the central layer with the head, and two layers on both sides (tummy + wing).

The more layers you will overlap each other, the more voluminous and convex your craft will be. Here is an example with the craft "Lions from a tree" shows how the face of the beast moves forward, thanks to four layers of thick wood plank.

If you paint your crafts. Draw facial expressions, add small details - folds, spots, etc. You can get very realistic and expensive wood crafts. Your little hobby can become your business. Such works can be safely put up for sale.

You can create your own characters. Draw their layers on a sheet of paper. To enlarge the craft first in a paper template - transfer the contours to a wooden board and cut out. Or find pictures in children's coloring pages- and redraw them at an enlarged size.

Craft from wood

For class at school

In a labor lesson.

Such LAYERED wood crafts can be cut NOT FROM THICK SHIELDS, but from a thin plywood sheet... And then such work can be carried out in labor classes within the framework of the school curriculum. On the topic "cutting with a jigsaw on plywood."

Here's an idea for you - how of 3 plywood boards make a two-color puppy craft. The first rearmost layer of WHITE PLYWOOD peeks out only with the tips of the ears, tail and one hind leg. We will cover the second layer with a stain (so that it darkens). The eyes, nose and lines can be drawn with a marker, or burned out with a special device for burning wood.

In the same technique of shields with different shades of color, you can make a lot of volumetric wood crafts in labor lessons at school or in a wooden craft circle.

Wood crafts

in the form of APPLIQUE.

In a very similar technique, you can make an applique out of wood. Here, too, a wooden one is taken as a basis. solid wood board(that is, not a glued board, but a solid board). Because we will grind it, and the glued board from grinding can delaminate and the glue seams will be visible.

1. On the paper all future work is drawn... Divided into parts by lines. Each detail is numbered. And it is photographed (so that later on the photo to check the location of each element).
2. Next, the drawing is cut along the lines into elements. We outline each element on the board with a pencil. We cut out an element from a flat board. All elements are flat on top, rough at the edges of the cut and with sharp sawing edges.
3. Now our task smooth all edges of each detail, round off... We cut the sharp edges of the cuts with a chisel. And we grind it on a grinding machine (if you have one) or do manual grinding with sandpaper of varying degrees of hardness and roughness.
4. After grinding all parts painted in a tinted stain(sold in hardware stores). Depending on how many times you wipe the part with stain, you will get a tone lighter or darker. All light details can be simply wiped off with vegetable oil. You can check in advance shades of color on the scraps of wood left after sawing the craft.

You can also paint the details of wood crafts in watercolor or gouache(using not a brush, but a foam sponge). After painting, so that the part does not get your hands dirty, you can sprinkle it with hairspray or soak the craft with another wood coating compound (only first check what color will be on the scraps).

It only seems that the cow (in the photo, the woodwork above) is behind the moon. In fact, all the details are in the same plane. On a piece of paper. But thanks to the streamlined edges of the details, everything looks voluminous, soft and, as it were, PRESSED into each other. Nothing really gets pressed in - everything just lies side by side.

Ideas for such flat wood crafts can be taken inside children's coloring books. There are just pictures with large details. Children's coloring picture can be found in Google - enlarge and print. Or redraw directly from the monitor screen by placing a sheet of paper on the glowing screen.

Methods for grinding parts

for wood crafts

(instructions to help).

To make it easier to sand the smooth edges of parts without rubbing calluses on your hands, I want to give some useful tips.

You can clamp the sanding belt in a special vise, also hammered out of wood. This is how it is done in the left photo below. Or come up with your own version of the device.

Here on the left photo - sandpaper is wrapped around a thick board with a semicircular edge. And the edges of the sandpaper are wrapped in a groove and clamped with a bolt twisted through a round cylindrical clamp of wood.

There are also grinding attachments for the drill. And then you can do the slitting of parts using the rotational force of the drill and the magical power of electricity.

Below we see grinding attachments for drill- cymbal and drum form.

There are drill grinders where you yourself can change sandpaper - remove the old abraded sandpaper and fill in a new one.

By the way, on Aliexpress you can immediately buy in bulk grinding drums for a drill for 3-4 dollars per batch of 100 pieces. If you look, you can find it cheaper.

And so that the drill does not rotate in your hand during operation, you can create a special FIXING STRUCTURE, which will fix your homemade sander is in one place, and all you have to do is bring the parts to the sander.

The design of the mounting pallet can be different - with a wooden clamp (photo above), or with a clamp in the form of a metal bracket (as in the photo below).

With such an assistant, making wood crafts with your own hands is a pleasure. The result is quickly pleasant and immediately beautiful. Such work can be put on stream - and set up a whole production of beautiful wooden (smooth and safe) toys for children, gift wooden paintings.

You can become a successful master. Completely unexpected for myself. It's as simple as taking a look at this article and falling in love with the idea.

The fantasy of wooden crafts is limitless. Remember the formula for success - everything can be made of wood. The main thing is to start ... then continue ... and finish.

For example, knock toys. Beautiful fun for both children and garden decoration. Such a hammer or woodpecker can knock on your door, announcing guests on the porch. As in a fairy tale - pull the string and the door will be opened for you.

You can make decorations for the children's room with your own hands. In fact, to reincarnate and become a designer of interesting interior wood crafts. Any boy will be happy if his children's room will play with motives from the Jungle.

You know ... I'll probably continue the theme of wooden crafts for the design of the nursery in one of the following articles. I would like to see what ideas are hidden here. And make someone fall in love with this good thing.

And perhaps I also need to create an article with wooden toys for children - handmade. You also need to write. And then it will work here link.

In the meantime, let's continue ...

Wood Crafts

and BROWN stuff.

Where do future crafts live? …. Old semi-rotted boards. For example, from the grandmother's fence. Which are usually used for firewood or taken out of the yard as extra garbage. Stop. Let's not throw them away. Let's dig in this heap and create something wonderful - with our own hands from wood.

A wooden mop-brush, if cut in half, turns into the mouth of an evil dog. A little bit of imagination and work. And now the service dog bristles and grins at you.

Handicraft, gorgeous in its artistic performance. Wood and waste material.

Any waste material (iron, plastics) and old pieces of wood can populate your house with fairy-tale characters. They are alive. They have a soul and a story of their own.

Wood crafts

Imperishable beauty.

Delaminated veneer , from old furniture boards, quietly damping in your shed - can also become a source for wood-based crafts.

Of this thin woody material you can cut out the details of the future craft directly with scissors and stick it on hot glue from a gun (or on wood glue).

You can also use thin birch bark instead of veneer. And also make interesting flat wood crafts.

Wood crafts

(logs, firewood and bark)

Ordinary firewood from your woodpile can be a source of inspiration for wooden crafts in the country.

If you cut a round log obliquely, then you get a figurine with a face turned to you. It remains only to draw this face, add elements of eyes, ears, nose to it.

You can fold the body of an animal from logs and round blocks. The blocks will be the legs and the logs will be the back. The head can be made from a round cut of a small log. Or scrape off with an ax the muzzle to the desired shape from the same log as the body of your four-legged craft made of wood.

Show your imagination, do not stop at a difficult task. A squirrel made of wood or a snail made of logs is no big deal. We turn on the head and a sense of humor - it will tell you the most ridiculous, but effective ways to convey the delicate image of the animal using rough wood and other natural materials.

YOU can work with a chainsaw or an ax - cutting or shaving off the muzzle of your wooden craft. You can make such cute pigs with your own hands as a fun wooden craft for the country.

And in the thickets of bushes you can put a beautiful proud deer - also a simple and quick craft from a tree and branches.

Wooden crafts

from chips from logs.

It happens that when you chop wood, curly large chips break off from the log. This cleavage often has a bizarre shape - already similar to something (bird, panther, face profile). It is necessary to carefully put aside such a gift of fate, so that later you can return to it and complete the craft started by nature. Cut something with a knife, highlight something with paint, glue something as an additional detail. And you get a do-it-yourself wooden craft - beautiful and original.

These are the ideas I managed to find for the craftsmen of wooden art.

Now you can also make beautiful wood crafts with your own hands. Moreover, this article is only the first of a cycle on the topic of wooden crafts that are clear and easy to do at home. You have probably already fallen in love with some ideas and are determined to implement them - I hold my fists for you - may everything work out in the best possible way. And your handicraft made of wood will appeal to all your Family Pile.

In the world of high technology, it is quite easy to purchase any item for home use. True, the result is not always pleasing, but hand-made wood crafts bring much more joy. Most often, such products radiate love and kindness, are individual and unique in their own way.

If you look around, trees are a real treasure of material for creativity. Thin and thick branches, pieces of a trunk, logs, boards can turn into a real masterpiece if they fall into the hands of a master. made of wood will find their place in any room, be it a summer cottage, apartment or office. In addition, items such as a jewelry box, cutting board, hanger or frying spatula are considered important household items. As practice shows, everyone who hears the wise advice of experts can make a wooden craft.

All ingenious is simple

The surrounding world of nature is full of ingenious ideas that often remain in the shadow of human attention. Yellow sun on the blue sky, raindrops, snowflakes, flowers. Sometimes people do not notice amazing beauty under their feet, but not creative natures.

Wood crafts are a great opportunity to prove yourself in practice. There are many ideas for creating original wooden products. They are mainly made of materials:

• thin and thick cuts;
• branches;
• hemp;
• bark.

It is quite simple to do wood crafts with your own hands using a saw cut of an ordinary log. It can be asked from those who prepare firewood for the winter, cutting the trunks of thick trees with a grinder. Of course, no one will deny this to a creative person. When the saw cut is in the hands of the master, a complete transformation awaits him.

Since the saw cut is almost always round in shape, various crafts can be made from it.

A sun made of precious stones

Nowadays, many stores sell decorative glass stones of various shapes and sizes. They can be attached to a wooden saw cut in any order and you will get an original decoration for the garden. In a wooden base, with the help of a drill, holes are made so that the stones fit there.
Insert them there and the decoration is ready. It is attached to any structure in the garden, be it a tree, a gazebo or a bench. When a bright light hits it, the garden will be filled with multi-colored lights of sunbeams.

In order for the thing to serve as long as possible, the saw cut must first be dried.

Kitchen utensils made of wood

At all times, kitchen utensils made of wood have been widely used by experienced housewives. Skillful craftsmen and lovers of creating useful things can make objects out of wood:

• coasters for hot cups or plates;
• trays;
• cutting boards;
• napkin rings.

To make a hot stand, thick branches are cut into several round cuts approximately 5 mm thick. This is done with a miter saw or a hacksaw. Finished parts are processed with sandpaper. The bark, which is located at the edges, serves as a decorative element, so it is not removed. But it doesn't matter. You can remove it with a sharp knife.

If the elements are ready, proceed to gluing. First, lay them out on a flat surface so that they touch each other. Then they spread it with glue and build a small pyramid in a checkerboard pattern. Excess glue is removed with a clean cloth and the product is placed under pressure so that the parts are well bonded and dry.

The first row of cuts should be aligned face down to make the stand look nice.

The photo shows original hand-made wooden crafts for the kitchen. Each of them differs in size and style, but is filled with love and warmth of the soul of a kind master. As you can see, you can even simply decorate the saw cut with a pattern to get a charming hot stand.

Cheerful decorations for a summer residence

A country house is often considered a place of peace and fusion with nature. Therefore, summer residents are trying to decorate the garden plot with original things. Hand-made wooden crafts for a summer residence can be a wonderful addition to a flower bed. They vary in complexity, but some are also available for inexperienced craftsmen.

A classic example is the wooden owl. For the craft, you will need one large saw cut, which will become the lush body of the bird. The eyes are made of smaller round timber, attaching them to the body with self-tapping screws. The pupils are isolated using caps.

To get the wings, a medium-sized saw cut is cut in half. Fasten the parts on both sides of the body, directing them in different directions. The beak is made separately - cut out of a log and attached between the eyes. Ears are made from a piece of burlap. Twist it into a tube and stick it with an acute angle upwards over the owl's eyes. The second ear is obtained in the same way. You can plant it on a small tree felling, placing it directly on the grass.

Some craftsmen use regular pieces of bark to make a cute owl. First, the material is rounded, but there should be pointed protrusions at the top corners. These are the ears of a wise bird. Eyes are made from the following materials:

• caps of small acorns;
• cuts of thin twigs;
• from slices of dry fruits.

The wings are cut from small pieces of bark and attached to the body. Such a bird is often hung on trees or shrubs in the garden.

In addition, miniature crafts are made from small cuts and small logs. These can be cute birds or bunnies, which are placed on the territory of the summer cottage.

Airy wood crafts are also considered an original creation. First, a sketch is drawn on a thick wooden saw cut. You can use a stencil. Next, mark the main corners with a drill, and then cut out the drawing with an electric jigsaw. It turns out an original decoration that fits perfectly into the backyard.
The photo shows various wood crafts that delight many summer residents:

All crafts must be treated with a special solution and varnished. So they will serve for the benefit of people longer.

Children and wood crafts

Almost all kids love DIY toys. They make them from paper, fabric, foam and plasticine. Wood crafts for children are especially appreciated, which bring them a lot of joy.

In a country cottage, you will probably find hemp, saw cuts and branches of old ones. And this is invaluable material for the ability to create with your own hands. It turns out that children can dress up hemp in every possible way, creating new images. To do this, it is enough to take old scraps of fabric, a washcloth, twine, corks, glue and your imagination and an amazing craft will appear on the site.

Teens, of course, will want to make a more elaborate toy to surprise their parents. Therefore, they desperately need drawings and diagrams of wood crafts. It is they who help to imagine the future product, and strive for a given goal. It is especially interesting to make toys from cut-out shields that are stacked on top of each other. As a result, volume is created and wonderful crafts are obtained.

For example, a pretty ladybug is made from 3 pieces of a wooden board. One is her head, the second shield is her body, and the bangs and nose are the third part. The polar bear is made in a similar way.

Depending on the character for the toy, it is advisable to select the color of the wooden structures.

Wonderful wooden crafts are obtained from the base on which the textured design of the tree is preserved.
If you take several layers of brown and cut out the outline of a wolf according to the scheme, you can get a beautiful craft. One layer is the body, and already the head and tail are applied to it. Simple, beautiful and fast. The same approach is used when creating a cute duck. For this, bird details are cut out of wood. The quantity depends on the scheme or sketch of the craft. Then they are layered to form a duck.

If you want to get a voluminous toy, it is advisable to superimpose more layers on top of each other. In the same way, any bulges on wood crafts are obtained.

To get unique crafts for children, they are painted with paints. Wise parents do this with their child, picking up a brush. They finish painting the eyes, facial expressions, the color of the animal, some folds or spots. Such works often decorate the courtyards of suburban areas.

An excellent opportunity to show their talent is given to those wishing to make an applique out of wood. The main part for work is a solid wooden board.

It is not worth saving and taking a glued board. When grinding, the structure loses its strength, and the seams protrude outward. This will ruin the craft.

Before starting to work with wood, they draw a future craft on paper, dividing it into details. Each of them gets its own number. Next, the sketch is cut into parts along the contours marked in the figure. The elements are applied to the board, outlined with a pencil and cut out.

The edges of the finished parts are smoothed with carpentry tools. Sharp corners - with a chisel, after which they are rubbed with sandpaper. If you have a sander, you can use it. After that, all elements are stained with wood stain. To obtain different tones, it is applied in several layers. The smaller, the brighter the detail will be. When all items are dry, they are carefully pasted onto paper.

Schemes for making wood crafts

Original wood appliques are a great opportunity to spend useful time with children. After all, such activities not only unite families, but also develop the creative abilities of the future generation. And the house is filled with many beautiful things.
