To purchase a starter decoupage set, you will need to shell out about 10 thousand rubles. The necessary fabric and paper scraps can be found among friends and relatives.
Precisely because hand-made creativity often requires old things, this type of income becomes profitable, since it does not require the purchase of expensive materials.
Decor-candles
Competition in the market decorative candles quite large, since this type of activity is not new at all. However, by developing your own technology and design, you can create beautiful souvenirs with your own hands in the form of unique candles.
To make the first batch of candles you will need to spend about a thousand rubles, which will go towards:
- purchasing raw materials - as a rule, ordinary candles are melted using the steam method;
- purchasing paint - you can use regular children's crayons;
- making molds from tetra-pack bags. Otherwise, the necessary forms are purchased in stores.
When making candles, you must follow safe work rules, since the wax and paraffin vapors released during melting become a fire hazard.
Floral compositions
Unique individual flower arrangements today cost about five thousand rubles. At the same time, the cost of such a bouquet will be about 2 thousand.
Custom floral compositions used for weddings, anniversaries and other celebrations. The only disadvantage of this business is the search for clientele, since flowers are a perishable product, bouquets are prepared before the order is directly issued to the client.

On average, the cost of a finished doll is 500 rubles, while the retail price is 2 thousand rubles.
Note!
Wood souvenirs
Wooden souvenirs can be presented as very miniature decorations, as well as large carved panels and furniture compositions. The material for production is wood, and finding it at any construction site is not difficult. Valuable specimens of the tree are more difficult to find.
To start your own business producing wooden souvenirs, you need to develop and create your first collection. The intensity of its sales determines the demand for specific copies. After this, the mass production process can begin.
Badges and keychains
The production of exclusive keychains can be done by a person who has mastered locksmith skills.
For this task, it is necessary to have specialized equipment in the form of a vice, a machine, blanks and materials. The amount of initial investment will be from 30 to 40 thousand rubles.
Beading
Very beautiful crafts and do-it-yourself souvenirs are made from beads and seed beads. For such a task, a minimum amount of equipment and materials is required: a machine, bead sets, fishing line, beads.
Note!
The total amount of funds will be approximately one thousand rubles. You can use beads to create various types of jewelry, embroider fabrics with them, and create flower arrangements.
Ceramic products
The stores are full of ceramic products, but they do not have the warmth that hand-made pieces have. The main thing in this matter is the presence of a clay deposit near the direct production.
Even the presence of a special kiln is not necessary, since it is possible to dry a small product in a regular oven.
Knitted accessories
Any hand-knitted items, be it clothes or accessories, have a unique personality. Therefore, such gizmos are valued by the consumer, making this business quite profitable.
To create knitted items, you only need to purchase yarn and hooks or knitting needles. But for industrial production you will need knitting machine, which will cost approximately a thousand dollars.
In addition to the handmade hobbies presented, photos of souvenirs show that today you can also do:
Note!
- making jewelry,
- weaving baskets and boxes from wicker,
- design of books and covers using scrapbooking techniques,
- production of chocolate souvenirs.
Sales of handmade souvenirs
In addition to the question of how to make a souvenir, you need to think about where to sell it. There are two ways to sell hand-made items.
The first is store trade. Handmade craftsmen sell their crafts in souvenir shops and departments. At the same time, registration of individual entrepreneurs, LLCs or product certificates is not required here.
However, there is a minus here - a lot of competition and sharing of income with the store owner.
The second option is online sales. To do this, you will also have to spend a fair amount of money on creating your own website (about 10 thousand rubles). Promotion and organization of the group in in social networks will also cost money.
However, there are sites that allow buyers and producers of hand-made souvenirs to meet.
Here you will have to pay for sending the goods by mail, since the consumer can be located in absolutely any city in our country.
Photos of DIY souvenirs
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 work for labor classes at school- for boys. Some ideas will work for a school competition crafts made from natural materials. Some wooden crafts can become decorating your dacha or yard. Here you will find a storehouse of inspiration and joy in anticipation of such interesting and simple work. In this article I will prove how to make beautiful crafts from wood. everyone can. Because here you will find simple and feasible tasks. Even a frail woman with a manicure can do half of the crafts in this article. So - let's fall in love with wooden creativity.
Let's start with simple magic.
Tree + sun
Crafts that glow with love.
Here are the simplest and cutest country crafts made from wood. For the craft, you need to cut a log (ask when you are sawing the firewood with a grinder to make several thin cuts). Or you can do it without cutting - just take a board of any size.
We drill holes in the wood so thick that a store-bought glass pebble will fit into it. Such sets of multi-colored decorative glass stones are sold - in the gift department, and in the department where there are candles, vases and everything for holiday decor.
You can simply drill such holes with glass into a board and hang it on an apple tree. You can drill such holes in the fence - if the sun shines into it at least once a day at a low angle.
That's very beautiful. Magically. Like in fairyland. Your children will be delighted with this wooden craft.
Simple wooden crafts
from log cuts.
If you have logs being cut into firewood in your yard, you are in luck. You can get priceless craft material for free. Ask the men to cut you flat cuts from both small and large logs. Lovingly stack them away from the woodpile and start dreaming up future wood crafts. For example, let it be wooden owls. It's easy to do and looks beautiful. The saw cuts can be nailed to each other. You can put them on liquid nails (like glue).
The surface of the cuts can be rough and unsanded (as in the photo with the bunnies craft). Or you can sand it with sandpaper and even varnish such an ornamental material. Or paint it the color you want.
From large saw cuts you can make large country wood crafts. And small log houses (made of thinner branches and logs) are suitable for miniature crafts - for example, these birds. You can cut branches of this thickness yourself with a hacksaw - manually, without a chainsaw.
Log cuts can become a canvas for art installations. Such wooden crafts-pictures can be made from any natural material. Go to the river and find smooth, flat stones. They will become the source interesting crafts. The stones can be easily painted with felt-tip pens, office fat markers or just gouache (after work, fix the gouache with hairspray or nail polish).
Here's another way to make beautiful AIR crafts from wooden cuts. Lacy through cutting with an electric jigsaw (photo with craft Maple Leaf) looks simply magical.
Here is a small master class from which you can see how the cutting process occurs openwork patterns on a thick cut of a tree.
First we outline the stencil with a pencil. Then we use a drill to drill holes in the key nodes of the drawing. And then we use a jigsaw to move from one holey node to another.
You can come up with a device yourself which will help you cut wood products using a conventional drill. Make your own electric jigsaw. Holding the comfortable handles with your hands, you simply move the device - following the lines of your drawing. The thinner the drill, the finer details of the design you can cut out with it. Well thought out.
Or you can buy a jigsaw– it costs on average 100 dollars. You can find it and over 50, we don’t work on an industrial scale, so it’s not necessary to buy a very powerful, expensive tool.
Mosaic crafts
From cuts of thick branches.
If you have a boring barn wall looking right at you in your country yard. Then you need to make it not boring. Let's decorate the shed using wood crafts. Let's do it mosaic applique from small wood cuts. Such cuts are obtained by cutting thick branches or thin logs with a hacksaw (or chainsaw).
The basis For such a wooden craft, we cut it out of a sheet of plywood. First, we draw the 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 rounds onto it - with liquid nails, with wood glue or with hot glue from a gun.
And you can even make it at home from saw cuts decorative frame for a mirror made of wooden rounds(master class in the photo below).
- Also buy a round mirror. Place it on a sheet of plywood and trace it with a pencil.
- Around the resulting circle, retreat a few centimeters (to the width you want for the frame). And with this indentation draw a second circle.
- Cut a large circle out of plywood. And paste it over outer ring saw cuts from wood. You will get a beautiful wooden craft frame - all you have to do is glue the mirror into the middle using liquid nails.
Puff Crafts
made of wood.
This is perhaps my favorite type of wood crafts. Here the woven shields lie on top of each other creating a LAYER VOLUME of the craft.
Here is a cow craft made from three layers of wooden shield. 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 the same color (like a craft polar bear made of wood) or in different colors (as a craft mouse on the moon– photo below).
Or you can leave a textured wood pattern (as in the crafts in the photo below).
Wood fox It has a two-layer design - a back layer, and the head and tail are placed on it.
Craft duck has 5 layers - a 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 made of wood” you can see how the animal's muzzle moves forward, thanks to four layers of thick wooden boards.
If you paint your crafts. Complete the facial expressions, add small details - folds, spots, etc. You can get very realistic and expensive wood crafts. Your small hobby can become your business. Such works can be safely put up for sale.
You can come up with your own characters. Draw their layers on a sheet of paper. Increase the craft first in paper template– transfer the contours to a wooden board and cut out. Or find pictures in a children's coloring book– and redraw them in an enlarged size.
Wood craft
For school activities
At the labor lesson.
Such LAYER wood crafts can be cut NOT FROM THICK SHIELDS, but from thin plywood sheet. And then such work can be carried out in labor classes within the framework school curriculum. On the topic “sawing with a jigsaw on plywood.”
Here's an idea - how made of 3 plywood panels make a two-color puppy craft. The first very back layer of WHITE PLYWOOD shows only the tips of the ears, tail and one hind leg. We will cover the second layer with stain (so that it darkens). Eyes, nose and lines can be drawn with a marker, or burned with a special device for burning wood.
In the same technique of shields with different shades you can do so many colors volumetric crafts made of wood during labor lessons at school or in a woodworking group.
Wood crafts
in the form of an APPLICATION.
Using a very similar technique, you can make an applique from wood. Here, too, wood is taken as a basis. solid wood board(that is, not a glued board, but a solid board). Because we will be sanding it, and the glued board may delaminate from sanding and the glue seams will be visible.
- On paper all future crafts are drawn. Divided into parts by lines. Each detail is numbered. And it is photographed (so that later the location of each element can be verified from the photo).
- 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 around the edges of the cut and with sharp sawing edges.
- Now our task smooth all edges of each part, round it. We trim off the sharp edges of the cuts with a chisel. And we grind it on a grinding machine (if you have one) or do it manually with sandpaper of varying degrees of hardness and roughness.
- After sanding all parts painted with tinted stain(sold in construction stores). Depending on how many times you wipe the part with stain, you will get a lighter or darker tone. Very light details can be simply wiped off vegetable oil. You can check in advance shades of color on scraps of wood left after sawing the craft.
You can also paint wooden craft parts in watercolor or gouache(using not a brush, but a foam sponge). After painting, so that the part does not stain your hands, you can spray it with hairspray or saturate the craft with another wood coating compound (just check the color first on scraps).
It only seems that the cow (in the photo of the wooden craft above) is behind the moon. In fact, all the parts are in the same plane. On a piece of paper. But thanks to the streamlined edges of the parts, everything looks voluminous, soft and as if pressed into each other. Nothing is actually pressed in - everything just lies next to each other.
Ideas for such flat wood applique crafts can be taken inside children's coloring books. There are just pictures with large details. You can find a children's coloring picture on Google - enlarge it and print it. 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 vice, also made of wood. Here's how it's done in the left photo below. Or come up with your own version of the device.
Here in the left photo - sandpaper is wrapped around a thick piece of wood 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 piece of wood.
There are also grinding attachments for drills. And then you can grind the parts using the rotational force of the drill and magical power electricity.
Below we see grinding attachments for drill– plate and drum shape.
There are grinding attachments for drills where you can change sandpaper - remove the old worn-out sandpaper and fill in a new one.
By the way, on AliExpress you can immediately buy grinding drums for a drill in bulk for 3-4 dollars per batch of 100 pieces. If you search, you can find it cheaper.
And to prevent the drill from spinning in your hand while working, you can create a special FASTENING STRUCTURE that will record your homemade sanding machine is in one place, and all you have to do is bring the parts to the sanding drum.
The design of the mounting pallet can be different - with a wooden clamp (photo above), or with a retainer 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. Quick, pleasant and immediately beautiful results. This kind of work can be put on stream - and a whole production of beautiful wooden (smooth and safe) toys for children and wooden gift paintings can be set up.
You can become a successful master. Completely unexpected for myself. Just like that, look at this article and fall in love with the idea.
Fantasy wooden crafts– limitless. Remember the formula for success - everything can be made from wood. The main thing is to start... then continue... and finish.
For example, knocking toys. Beautiful fun for children and for decorating the garden. Such a knocker or woodpecker may knock on your door, announcing guests on the porch. Like in a fairy tale, pull the string and the door will be opened for you.
You can make decorations for your children's room with your own hands. Essentially, reincarnate and become a designer of interesting interior wood crafts. Any boy will be happy if his children's room sparkles with motifs from the Jungle.
You know... I’ll probably continue the topic of wooden crafts for design children's room in one of the following articles. I'd like to see what ideas are hidden here. And making someone fall in love with this is a good thing.
And perhaps we should create an article with wooden toys for children - self made. I also need to write. And then it will work here link.
In the meantime, let's continue...
WOOD CRAFTS
and WASTE material.
Where do future crafts live? …. Old half-decayed boards. For example, from grandma's fence. Which are usually used for firewood or removed from the yard as excess garbage. Stop. Let's not throw them away. Let's dig through this pile and create something wonderful - with our own hands from wood.
A wooden mop-brush, if sawed in half, turns into the mouth of an evil dog. A little imagination and work. And now the service dog is bristling and grinning at you.

You can also use thin birch bark instead of veneer. And also make things interesting flat crafts made of wood.
Wood crafts
(logs, firewood and bark)
Ordinary firewood from your woodpile can become a source of inspiration for wooden crafts for the dacha.
If you cut a round log diagonally, you get a figurine with its face turned towards you. All that remains is to draw this face, add elements of eyes, ears, and nose to it.
You can use logs and round logs to form the body of an animal. The logs 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 chop with an ax face up the desired shape from the same log as the body of your four-legged wooden craft.
Show your imagination and don’t stop before a difficult task. A squirrel made of wood or a snail made of logs - there is nothing complicated. We turn on our head and sense of humor - it will suggest the most ridiculous, but effective ways convey the delicate image of the animal using rough wood and other natural materials.
YOU can work with a chainsaw or an ax - sawing out or beheading the face of your wood craft. You can make these cute pigs with your own hands: fun craft from wood for the dacha.
And in the thickets of bushes you can place a beautiful, proud deer - also simple and quick craft made of wood and branches.
Wooden crafts
from chips from a log.
It happens that when you chop firewood, large shaped chips break off from the log. This chip often has a bizarre shape - already similar to something (a bird, a panther, the profile of a face). You need to carefully put such a gift of fate aside, so that you can later return to it and complete the craft started by nature. Trim something with a knife, highlight something with paint, glue something as an additional detail. And you will end up with a do-it-yourself wooden craft - beautiful and original.
