Patchwork furniture
The technique of sewing from waste fabrics in the form of scraps with different textures, colors and sizes has long been popular among needlewomen all over the world. But furniture patchwork is a new product, invented by a young designer who advocates waste-free production and environmental friendliness.
Amy Hunting chose a universal raw material for her furniture collection - leftover wood in the form of different-sized bars. The natural structure of wood and natural color are emphasized as a result of sanding; the designer does not use facing materials. Her products consist of dozens of segments of various shapes: there are cubes, rectangles, planks, and much more. The girl creates her creations without the use of fastening materials; she abandoned nails, screws and even wooden dowels; the parts are glued or tied together. The collection includes several sought-after household items.
Wall shelf
The shelves themselves are made of treated light boards; the role of crossbars is performed by the same bars, assembled in a random sequence. The result is an unusual design that will decorate the room and provide plenty of space for books or useful items. The fastener is a deliberately rough, textured twisted rope - it is passed through the bars and shelves, connecting all the structural elements together, and on top there are loops with hooks on which the shelf hangs.
Universal shelf-bedside table
A square box without a back wall, with stands of different lengths on the bottom and inside, this is another item in Amy’s collection. The cabinet shelf can be used standing on its legs, sideways, even with its legs up if desired. The crossbars are both a decorative element and serve as limiting holders. If you use several modules, stacked on top of each other, you will get a high, multifunctional stand for books or household utensils. The rack is spacious, with modest dimensions - the length is 35 cm and the height is only 47 cm.
Chair
A shaped chair with a square back and carved legs, all in the same patchwork manner, to support the overall ambiance. In addition to the decorative component, it is also a type of comfortable seat, which has been undeservedly forgotten in recent years.
Lampshades
The crown of the collection is a set of 12-piece lampshades in the matryoshka type: from largest to smallest. To make the previous items, furniture panels of given sizes were glued together, and the lampshades were cut from one cube, so they differ only in size. There is a groove cut in the upper part for a lamp and a cord, and there is somewhere to hang such a lamp in every home, even without reference to the rest of the collection.
Watermelon carving
Speaking about watermelon and crafts made from it, one cannot fail to mention such a direction as carving.

Using a watermelon knife you can create a work of art
Of course, not all adults master this technique of carving fruits and vegetables. But it's still worth a try. Armed with a Thai knife, you can decorate children's crafts with intricate patterns. It will immediately take on a more original look.
At the very end of summer, watermelon season begins. Both adults and children love bright, juicy, striped watermelon. In addition to eating delicious watermelon slices, you can also get creative. Children can draw a watermelon, make it, cut it out of paper. And at the same time find out how to correctly call a watermelon - a berry or a fruit?
Candy plate
DIY papier-mâché crafts can be interesting for the little ones.
Turn the bowl that will serve as the pan upside down and cover the outside with aluminum foil. Place excess foil inside bowl.
We recommend reading:
Tear newspaper or paper into strips. Dip each piece of paper into glue and stick to the outside of the foil-covered bowl.
Continue adding paper until 3-4 layers of paper cover the outside of the bowl. Let the bowl dry for 24 hours.
Once the paper bowl is dry, carefully remove the foil from the inside of the glass bowl, freeing the bowl from its paper casing. Carefully remove the foil from the paper casing. Paint a paper bowl. Let the paint dry.
Balloon
Cut or tear sheets of newspaper into strips. Then glue them to the balloons using a mixture of PVA glue and water (50/50 mixture). Once the balloons are covered in several layers, leave them to dry.
The next day, take fabric strips to cover the balloons. Cut strips of fabric and place them in the center of the table for the children to choose from.
Then saturate strips of fabric with a mixture of PVA glue and water and glue them around the balloons. Once finished, coat the balls with another layer of PVA glue and water mixture and leave them to dry for a day.
In the same way, cover several yogurt cups (these will be baskets for balloons).
When the balloons are completely dry, deflate the balloons. Attach the baskets to the balls using twine. On the Internet you will find many photos of papier-mâché crafts in the form of balloons.
