Hello, friends! Over the past three days, I have been persistently wandering the Internet in search of... garbage) Or rather, in search of crafts that can be made from it. And, you know, some crafts are so good that it’s hard to even imagine that they were made from something that could just be taken and thrown away.
In this article I want to present you with a large overview of “garbage” masterpieces. Crafts made from trash that are worthy of praise!
Lesson plan:
From empty matchboxes
They say that matches are not a toy for children! And it is right! But from boxes you can make not only toys, but even real ones didactic games. See for yourself.
By gluing the boxes with colored paper and writing letters on them, we get the alphabet!
And inside we hide figures whose names begin with different letters of the alphabet. The result is an interesting developmental and educational toy. And multifunctional too! After all, a child learning the alphabet can:
- try to arrange the letters in order;
- make words from letters;
- place items in the correct boxes.
And this not only develops thinking, but also fine motor skills.
Tired of learning letters? No problem! You can also relax! You can always build something out of colored boxes.
Another version of the game with boxes is “Who eats what?”
I just want to say bravo to the author for such an idea. Here, pictures of animals are pasted on the outside of the boxes, and inside different places their habitat. The boxes are being dismantled. Well, then you need to assemble them correctly. Are we developing our horizons? But of course! We also train our memory.
I think many mothers, when they were still girls and had a couple or three little dolls, had furniture made from matchboxes. I had! I'm sure that modern girls I'll love making it with my own hands and playing with such interesting doll furniture.
After all, there are so many shelves, so many cabinets. And you can hide so many things there.
Were you accidentally asked to make a math pencil case in kindergarten? We were not asked, but I heard about such a thing from friends of kindergarten parents. And it is made again from matchboxes. And it looks like this.
This pencil case helps kids learn geometric figures, counting, colors.
If there is a needlewoman in the house, then she will certainly be pleased with such an organizer for all sorts of different handicraft little things.
And there is nothing complicated in making it. The main thing is to turn on your imagination!
You can also make puzzles out of boxes.
Just take one beautiful picture, cut it into rectangles, stick the rectangles on match houses and the puzzles are ready!
From toilet paper rolls
From matchboxes we move on to another popular material for making crafts. Let me introduce, roll bushings toilet paper, which provide almost unlimited opportunities for young masters.
Let's start with a cool stationery organizer.
This is such a caterpillar. I think that if it settles on a first-grader’s desk, it definitely won’t be boring) The body of the caterpillar is made of bushings. They are papered over corrugated cardboard and they look very good. Do you agree? It would not be a shame to take such a craft to school for a competition.
We continue our review with a sorting game for children.
10 colored sleeves. They have 10 numbers. And various little things, buttons, some figures, large beads in little bowls. The game will help you figure out colors and get acquainted with counting.
Strange as it may seem, bushings are used to paint pictures! You just need to cut them, and then make different flowers, leaves, and circles from the pieces. And glue it all in a random, beautiful order.
It turns out very tender and beautiful.
If you press the top of the sleeve a little, you get ears. And then animals with ears. Variety. And very beautiful.
Here are the heroes of various games.
Or you can try making animals like these.
It's a little more complicated, but the results are worth the effort.
These stands for felt-tip pens look interesting.
And the idea is simple. You need to take the threads and carefully wrap them around the bushings. Then build a decoration from fabric or felt. That's all! Original and pleasant to the touch holders of colored pencils are ready.
From egg trays
We also quite often throw away the trays in which eggs are sold, without even thinking that they can turn out to be very cute little things.
For example, these are such charming caterpillars.
Someday they will definitely become butterflies, but for now they stand, look, what else to chew)
Or these chickens. Probably laying hens! Just a couple of simple touches and the poultry yard is ready!
Or you can be original! Take a cardboard tray, cut it into separate cells, paint them in different colors, string them on threads, and then tie these threads to a stick.
Here is an interesting bright pendant that will please the eye and lift your spirits)
And the trays also make very beautiful flowers. You can make very simple flowers, like daisies, or you can make them more complex, like roses. There are a lot of options.
Well, you can decorate anything with these flowers. For example, a photo frame or a mirror frame.
You can also make beautiful flowers from plastic trays. But I think it's a little more complicated than the cardboard ones.
Well, now it’s not really a craft from a tray, but rather from what’s in the tray. From eggs. Or rather from empty eggshells. First you need to carefully remove the egg from the shell and leave it almost intact, removing only the top part. Then fill the shell with soil and plant the seeds of some fast-growing herb in it. Wait and water! And after some time you will meet such funny herbalists.
Just so that they can wink and smile at you, you will need to draw eyes and mouths for them)
From empty juice or milk boxes
Do you like juice? Do you drink milk? Where do you put the boxes? You probably throw it away, but in vain! After all, in the soul, every box is not just a box, but a real person! With your own face and your own character. Don't believe me? See for yourself!
Large empty boxes can be used to make vehicles.
And land ones.
And air ones.
And even waterfowl.
Well, for those who like to grow something, we offer this option.
Vegetable garden in boxes. Very much convenient way growing different seedlings. It’s neat and you don’t need to spend money on special trays.
Now let's get serious. How to make sure there is always order on the table? Of course, install an organizer! You can, of course, buy it. But it’s much more interesting to make it yourself from the same irreplaceable boxes. And decorate to your liking.
From used disposable tableware
Well, now let’s move on to crafts made from disposable tableware. Let's start with plastic spoons. What interesting things could be made of them? Maybe flowers, and at the same time ladybugs?
Well, just like alive)
And a couple more representatives of the insect kingdom, only larger in size.
These bugs are made from paper plates. In my opinion, they are simply adorable!
How about this gorgeous hat?
It is made of two plastic plates. One deep and one flat. The middle of a flat plate is cut out and a deep one is glued onto it. Don't forget to paint your hat in your favorite color and decorate it. Here, by the way, flowers from egg trays, which were discussed a little earlier, would be suitable.
If you like to organize home theater performances, then plastic plates are ready to help you with actors. You can make the faces of different animals out of them, and then glue a small stick to each one. And the puppet theater artists are ready.
And if you cut out eyes in the faces, you will get masks. And you are guaranteed a fun children's masquerade. Then you will look at the photo and remember how great it was!
And now about the beautiful things. Look what a miracle it is.
This is a fan made of plastic forks. The forks are attached to an old unnecessary disk. The fan is decorated with ribbons, flowers and lace.
A real work of art that can decorate any interior!
And in this photo you see a fan of large and small spoons.
It's also very beautiful.
I also advise you to pay attention to the article about and from them.
That's all for today! I hope you liked the review, and you already want to create something with your own hands!
I wish you creative success!
Yours, Evgenia Klimkovich.
For kindergarten attractive because they do not require the use of expensive purchased materials –
As a rule, everything that can be useful in work is already at hand.
For example, an interesting craft from waste material obtained from a flat jar left over from a spread for sandwiches or processed cheese, a plastic transparent container and several, painted in bright colors.
What do we have to do?
First of all, you will need to cut a round hole in the lid of the jar, the diameter of which is approximately equal to the diameter of one cell in the egg container.
Then we cover the resulting hoop with paint or cover it with adhesive film. You can use paints in aerosol cans or even regular nail polishes; they adhere well to such coatings.
Cut one cell from the egg container. We glue it onto the hoop that has already been painted and has had time to dry.
We screw the second part of the jar from the bottom to the remains of the lid. We make four small cuts in it into which you need to insert ice cream sticks. As you probably already guessed, we got the real one.
But what would a ship be without aliens? We make small aliens from what we can find at home - pawns from old chess, caps from bottles of cosmetics, etc.
You need to paint these objects one color and draw cute faces on them or simply a lot of eyes. Here, let the child give free rein to his imagination, who, most likely, has long had his own idea of what our alien brothers should look like.
We open our ship and glue cardboard circles to the bottom of the jar, which will hold the aliens in place.
You will need to place one alien in each circle. There is no need to glue it, because the child will probably want to open the ship and play with it.
Therefore, the main thing is to select the rings that act as seats according to the diameter of the aliens.
Well, the seats are ready, we ask passengers to prepare for takeoff.
We lower the dome of the spaceship.
And our craft from waste material for

Waste material is anything that is no longer useful in everyday life and is safely sent to the trash container.
But you can try to give it like this unnecessary things a second life in the form of various children's crafts, decorations for the home, extraordinary design of a summer cottage, as well as DIY crafts from waste material can act as gift surprises close to a person, relative or friends.
It's easy to update old sneakers made from discarded material with your own hands by gluing them with pieces of discs of different sizes. It is quite possible to give the new kind guitar, laying out broken pieces of discs in the form of a mosaic over its entire area. Can be supplemented with a mosaic flower pots, glass in interior door, tables, chairs.
For a large mirror on the wall, it is not as difficult as it seems to make a frame from the same pieces. Even for beginners, it is quite possible to make crafts from entire CDs, for example, a watch. It will be fun for kids to do such a useful craft. primary classes. It does not bring great ingenuity.
For manufacturing you will need the following parts:
- CD.
- The clock mechanism is from a working alarm clock.
- Superglue of any brand.
- Unnecessary or unusable keyboard.
The compact disc serves as the basis for future watches, so any of its sides can be used as a front view. Prepare 12 buttons with numbers from the keyboard and only those with the letter f. They are located at the top of the very first line.
Now you should apply glue to the areas, first make marks with a marker. For convenience and uniformity, it is better to glue the numbers 3, 6, 9, 12 first. Carefully insert the engine with arrows in the center. The items used must be glued together. After complete drying, you can decorate the watch with additional designs or fractional decorative ornaments.
Country crafts from plastic bottles
It’s easy enough to make an exotic palm tree from plastic bottles that will decorate the yard, plant a vegetable garden on summer cottage.
Required materials:
In plastic brown bottles, cut off the top unnecessary part. The bottom remains 7-8 cm high. Make triangular cuts in the form of teeth, which will help create roughness and relief of the trunk. Drill holes in each prepared part with a drill. The diameter of the drill must match the diameter of the rod.
The number of bottles is determined by the desired barrel height.
Make the leafy top for the upcoming palm tree from green bottles. You need 5 of them. Cut them lengthwise along the entire length so that you get two equal halves, which are straightened on the sides. Free yourself from the bottom with a stationery knife in advance - it will not be useful. Make small cuts on both sides of each resulting half. This will create a special splendor for the leaves.
Make a hole in one lid with an 8 cm drill. Place all the products from brown bottles on a steel rod, bending the teeth outward in advance. Then plant the foliage. Screw the cap tightly on the last bottle with a neck. Prepare the foundation for installing the palm tree. The fastening must be reliable, then strong winds, hot sun, downpours and sharp frosts will not harm the palm tree.
Crafts from lids
It’s easy to use the lids to make unusual refrigerator magnets that will decorate the interior of your kitchen.
Simple instructions for magnets from any caps:
To make a bunch of grapes, you will need to collect several blue or green caps, connecting them together with brown wire or thick thread. You can make cherries from red caps, and take the wire Green colour, twisting it the desired shape, it will serve as leaves.
If the passage from the hallway to the room does not have a door, then it makes sense to construct curtains with your own hands from this eye-catching material, using an awl for making holes and floss. Place parts on it, alternating colors. Make several such chains so that they tightly cover the entire width of the passage.
Take a wire that will serve as a cornice. Stretch it well and secure it on both sides using screws and a screwdriver. Tie ready-made trinkets into knots on a fixed wire. Homemade curtains are ready for use.
Lids can be used to decorate tables and benches in the courtyard of a private house, fences, outer walls of a barn, stable. To do this, you need to sort the lids by color. Design a pattern or picture of the drawings to be drawn in advance. You can cut out the finished image and use it as a guide. The covers stick perfectly to wood, plastic, plywood, and iron.
What can be made from wine corks
It’s enough to just make a craft-mat for the bathroom from waste cork material with your own hands. Such rugs do not absorb moisture and have medicinal properties for the feet. Beforehand, make sure to purchase a waterproof base for the desired coverage. You can use a rubber mat if you have one in the house. 
Cut each cork in half with a stationery knife, and clean the resulting rough sections with fine sandpaper. For the convenience of further work process, arrange the parts around the perimeter using any type of adhesive. Then fill the resulting space one by one in a row. You can also use traffic jams to build a planned image for a positive mood and effect. 
Using the same scheme, wall paintings are made with your own hands.

- Using a stationery knife, cut out gaps for the eyes, decorate them with black paper and white flowers.
- Draw on paper a sketch of the face of your preferred animal.
- If you are planning to make a fox first, then paint the entire back surface of the plate with orange paint.
- Make ears from orange cardboard. To make the image aesthetically pleasing, cut out shapes from white that are slightly smaller than the ears themselves and glue them inside with glue. Place the ears on double-sided tape. Make an oblong muzzle from orange paper by folding the paper into a cone. Cut out a circle for the nose from dark gray. Cut out two equal shapes from white paper and place them on both sides of the nose.
- Glue all prepared products with glue to the places intended for them.
- Insert the elastic cord into the holes just below the eye holes. The mask is ready to use.
In this way you can make any animal chosen by your child.
A second life for tin cans
From tin cans it is possible to make a sensational anti-stress toy throughout Europe - a spinner. Parts required: 2 cans– volume 0.33 l., 2 roller bearings of the same size, superglue, weights (small iron balls) of the same size – 3 pcs., nail scissors and a stationery knife, colored adhesive tape. 
Completing of the work:
- Using nail scissors, cut the bottom of the jars to a height of 1 cm. You need to trim the rough and prickly edges without changing the height of the sides.
- On one tin product we attach weights with glue at an even distance from each other. Proper fastening of the balls will create a significant system of inertia for the spinner at the required speed. That, according to the technical rules of operation, a toy cannot be distinguished between a do-it-yourself craft made from waste materials and a factory-made one.
- Then we connect the 2 resulting parts, putting one on top of the other, the shape should resemble a wheel.
- Now we glue bearings on both sides, which should be placed strictly in the center in the same position so that the points perfectly coincide with each other, in otherwise the anti-stress spinner will not rotate as required.
- After the glue has completely dried, you need to get rid of the sharp edges of the tin parts, avoiding cuts on your hands. Wrap colored adhesive tape around the edges of the toy, carefully pulling it each time. Slowly so that no bubbles form.
- Irregularities that go beyond the boundaries are trimmed with a stationery knife.
- Bearings can be disguised with buttons suitable size, for convenient use and stylish appearance.
Decorating glass bottles
You can beautifully decorate a glass bottle using coffee beans. The work is easy and enjoyable. Apply a drop of adhesive to each coffee bean and firmly stick it to the bottle. It is permissible to paste it without any design or pattern, or you can develop a sketch of the image in advance. Often used to decorate glass bottles colored paper.
Crumple the paper, then straighten it. Apply glue to the bottle. Start from the neck and wrap the bottle around the bottle, pulling the paper tightly, but carefully so as not to tear it. The paper will shrink and lie with folds, which means everything is being done correctly. The main thing is to make sure that no air gets under the paper. Then cut out 3 cm wide strips of paper of any color. Roll into a spiral.
Lubricate the selected area for the pattern on the bottle with glue. It is also possible to use chocolate foil, newspaper or corrugated paper.
Crafts from newspapers and magazines
It's easy to make a lot out of old newspapers and magazines interesting crafts with your own hands, which can be used with pleasure in everyday life. One of the most popular crafts made from scrap paper is a basket.
In order to weave a basket from newspapers you will need:
- acrylic spray paint;
- newspapers that have already been read several times in everyday life;
- brush with a long handle;
- durable cardboard;
- PVA glue;
- stationery knife;
- scissors.
Cut out two circles of the same shape from cardboard; you will need to use them to determine the size of the basket. Cut newspapers to the size of an A4 sheet. Fix one edge of the newspaper on a pencil and start winding the tube, and after a few turns spread PVA glue along the entire length. Make up to 20 such tubes. 
Glue 6 tubes to the surface of the cardboard, placing them at equal distances, like the numbers on mechanical watch(6, 8, 10, 12, 2, 4). The remaining tubes must be made flat, straightened with the edge of the palm. After finishing the forgery, paint the basket with spray paint.
Craftswomen love to make stylish wide bracelets from magazines they read.
To do this, you will need convenient scissors and a magazine. Cut strips measuring 10 by 4 cm from the magazine. Fold the resulting separate part in half and bend it back, the fold line should be visible. Bend the two edges exactly towards the fold. Fold again to form a long strip. Next, fold it in half widthwise and bend it back. Then fold the two sides to the fold line.
You should get a "V" victory symbol. To assemble the bracelet, you need to combine all the available parts. You need to insert the ends of one part into the ends of another until you get a chain with 27 links. You need 3 of these chains. Finally, connect the chains together using several blanks of the “V” symbol. Paint or decorate the finished bracelet to your taste.
Toys made from toilet paper rolls and paper towels
You can make many interesting toys from toilet paper rolls and paper towels. Moreover, even Small child, and the parent will be happy to help him with this. To make the ears of any animal, you need to bend the two edges of the sleeve inward so that they touch each other.
Raise the top of the two protruding ears or position them as seems necessary for the selected animal.
Make a tail out of colored cardboard, and cut out wings and beak for the bird triangular shape, paws. Give the elephant a trunk and huge ears. For a lion to have a beautiful lush mane - cut out a round shape from cardboard, around which make cuts in the form of scars. Cut out eyes, noses, and a pig's snout from colored plain paper. Also cut out a bow, tie, pockets. When assembling a fake, use regular glue.
You can make DIY crafts from waste materials together with your children. It’s not difficult to make an extraordinary snake with your own hands from waste material using paper towel rolls. To do this, you will need to cut the sleeve along the entire length with a spiral; the width can be different; the narrower the strips, the thinner but longer the snake. Cut out the shape of a snake's tongue from cardboard. Color it or cover it with colored paper.
Using your imagination you can create different little animals, little people and even monsters, which almost all children have a positive attitude towards.
Examples of crafts made from cardboard boxes
The easiest way to make cubes is from tetra milk or kefir cartons. To do this, cut the bottom of two such boxes into an even square. So that all sides are the same in height and width. Apply glue to the walls and carefully place one blank with an empty space into the other. Cut out pictures from newspapers or magazines. Cover all edges with them.
Finally coat with acrylic varnish for decoupage. Cover the ribs with thin strips cut from landscape paper. If you place any grain of porridge inside the cube, you will get an original rattle. You can use a shoebox to make an organizer for office supplies. 
Line the inside and outside of the box with fabric or colored paper with pasted pictures cut out from magazines and newspapers. Take measurements of the width, length and height of the box. Inside, cut out one partition in length and 3-4 partitions along the width of the box from cardboard.
On short partitions, make cuts in the middle all the way to the top so that you can fit them onto a long partition. Coat all products on the ribs with glue and place them in the box. Finish this organizer with any material you wish.

- Draw a horseshoe template of the desired size on a piece of paper. Cut out.
- Place on cardboard, trace with a pencil and carefully cut out.
- Tie the yarn around the workpiece to form air loop. Thread the threads of both ends into the loop, pulling tightly each time, but do not overdo it, so as not to damage the cardboard. With each new weaving, the threads need to be adjusted - they must fit tightly and evenly to each other.
- Hide the ends of the threads and secure them on the back side of the part.
- Apply glue from the bottom of the horseshoe to its half and plant coffee beans.
- Place flowers from 8 coffee beans a little higher on both sides. Place a bead inside each flower. Make loops with yarn around the flowers.

How to use egg cartons in creativity
Egg cartons can be used as bird feeders. To prevent sudden temperature changes from damaging the feeder, you should cover it with gouache, then, after complete drying, varnish it. Separate the lid (if the package is small), fasten the ropes to the 4 edges and hang it on a strong tree branch. Place bird food in the cells. The feeder is ready. 
Egg trays are easy to use as vases or fruit stands. Cover the trays with varnish, decoupage them, or cover them with a fabric lampshade napkin. It will turn out original and impressive. You can make souvenir toys: cut out inner cones from egg packaging, they will serve as the body.
Afterwards, cut out from the packaging (considering which animal, mammal or bird is present in your imagination) the nose, paws, ticks, wings, beak, scallop. Color with paints. Glue the blanks to the body. For the eyes, use buttons or ready-made decorative ones. You can make keychains if you make a hole and fasten the chain.
