Handmade is gaining more and more popularity lately, because you can create any things with your own hands, giving them a certain "zest". Let's take a look at a few suggested ideas.

You will need skeins of thick multi-colored threads, from which we weave 8-12 dense braids, fasten them at the bottom with threads so that the product does not unravel. Then we sew them together, we get a small canvas that will perfectly decorate any kitchen.

To work you will need a sewing machine and a lot of scraps of fabric. We fold the shreds so that stripes are obtained, we sew them. We form a "snail" from the strips, sew the shreds in a circle.

We take any thick yarn and hook No. 5, we collect 10 air loops, make a ring, inside we knit 20 posts with one crochet. With each subsequent row, we make one air loop for lifting and increase the number of single crochets.

We use 2 colors of any dense fabric and synthetic winterizer. We mark the petals of the future flower and the core on the fabric, cut it out. We begin to sew, leave a small hole through which we fill the part with padding polyester. We sew all parts of the flower together.

From dense pieces of fabric we weave a tight braid, using a thread with a needle, we carefully sew the pigtail in a circle.
