The most valuable products are made from the most unusual materials, such as plastic bags. It would seem that what is so unusual, useful can be made from the simplest recyclable materials? The imagination of creatively gifted people is boundless.

One of the most sensational and creative techniques needlework - weaving crafts from garbage bags. In order to comprehend the basics of non-trivial modern art, we suggest weaving rugs from plastic bags with our own hands using detailed master classes as an example.

A stylish, bright, original rug is not only a decoration for a house, apartment, cottage, but also a very functional thing. One of the main advantages is moisture resistance, the rug can be used in rooms with high humidity. Wear resistance, ease of care, a successful tandem of stylish aesthetics and minimal costs - all these are the indisputable advantages of such a useful hand made stuff. Needless to say, knitting will bring real pleasure, help to pass the time usefully. Before knitting a rug from bags, you will need yarn. We will make knitting threads directly from the bags. The matter is simple, rather primitive, even a child can cope with the work.

Bright rugs from packages

To make the threads strong, elastic, experienced craftswomen advise choosing soft matte plastic bags.

If you decide to use milk bags, then on the packaging you can find the designation of the density of the material. In order for a mat made of milk bags to be pleasant to the touch, soft enough and durable, you should choose bags with an average density. The times of boring monotonous packages are far behind, today hostesses are offered a bright, cheerful palette of any possible shades, so such an original doormat will certainly decorate any interior. How to make multi-colored yarn?

First of all, cut the package into strips. Since we will be crocheting, the width of the plastic tape should match the hook number. It is desirable to cut blanks of the same width, so the surface of the product will be homogeneous. To make the preparatory process more fun and faster, you can fold the packages in an even pile, draw stripes with a ruler, a marker and carefully cut the ribbons. From the resulting blanks, it is necessary to form balls. We tie the ends of the ribbons together with knots, forming yarn for knitting future crafts.

We knit rugs

Before you start knitting a rug, you need to knit a test section, this will help determine the density of the future product. The color scheme, shape, pattern is chosen individually, but to streamline the creative process, you can use ready-made diagrams and drawings.

The advantage of this rug is that it is durable and moisture resistant.

round rug

Even a beginner can make a beautiful round rug with his own hands, the main thing is to add loops in time, follow the patterns, otherwise the product runs the risk of turning not into a rug, but into something resembling a cup. For work, you can use several colors or make the product plain with contrasting edging, the choice is up to the master. We will crochet using alternately several shades of yarn.

round rug looks great in the bathroom

Stages of work:

• We choose polyethylene threads for the center of the rug. We take a strip, we knit five from it air loops, and then we close them in a ring. We knit the next loop, turn knitting in the other direction.
• We knit single crochets on each of the five loops in the previous row. In each second and fourth loops we will pass two additional strips. We knit to the end of the turning loop, unfold the weave, thereby closing the circle.
• We take the next color of yarn, we knit in the same way as the middle of the circle.

Advice! At this stage, there is a little secret in the work: in order for the circles to increase, we add 5-6 loops, we knit single crochets.

Thus, the rug "grows in breadth" from the center of the weave without twisting.

• We take the third color, we knit in the same way as the previous one. We finish knitting by carefully hiding the thread in weaving.

Rugs for children

A stylish, original, cozy doormat is ready to delight the eyes of the household with its cheerful variegation. In a similar way, you can crochet rugs of any shape, using ready-made or inventing your own pattern patterns.

Making a round rug

Pompom rug

Not only you can crochet a stylish rug. For craftswomen who do not know the art of crocheting, there is an original and simple way to make a beautiful product. We offer to make an unusually functional fluffy rug from garbage bags. The main thing is to choose the right base for the yarn, the packages should have a soft structure. To work, you will need several garbage bags cut into identical ribbons, thick cardboard, threads, scissors.

Functional fluffy trash bag rug

Let's get to work:

• Since the rug is made from many small pompoms, we will prepare blanks. We cut out a square from cardboard, fold it in half, and in the middle we wind a thread with which we will tie a pompom. The thread must be of sufficient length, as it will not only hold the bubo together, but also help attach it to the base.
• We begin to wind the ribbons on the template. We make sure that the tape lays flat, not twisted. The optimal width of the tape is 10-15 centimeters. If one tape is not enough for the “fluffiness” of the pompom, we wind the following ones until we get the desired density of the polyethylene pile.
• After all the tapes are wound, we tie a thread on one side, and cut it on the other side, and the cardboard is removed. Fluff the cut ribbons to form a ball shape. Similarly, we make as many "fluffies" as needed for the rug.

Advice! Pompoms can be made multi-colored by alternating colors in the product. It is important to ensure that the packages are the same in texture so that the surface of the rug is uniform.

• When all the blanks are prepared, you can attach them to the substrate. As a base, you can use a grid, similar to a window, a special rubber backing, but always perforated to tie a fluffy decor to it.

Then it comes to packages. bright colors, from which squares are cut out by the number of leaves. Now we carefully fit the frame of each petal with polyethylene. Petals are collected into a flower, starting with oblong ones.

Kids love toys, but what if they learn how to make various cute little animals? Not expensive and very interesting for the baby. Feel free to work with him! Everything will surely work out.

In addition to bags and scissors, you will need cardboard and various additional small things for the muzzle of the animal. The base is two rings made of cardboard, a circle cut out in which is of medium size. We begin to wind the packages already cut into strips onto rings, using them in turn. It's pretty boring, but necessary. The more and better it is wound, the more magnificent and beautiful the pomp looks, which will later become part of the animal.

When, finally, the workpiece is ready, cut exactly along the junction line of two cardboard rings. To prevent the pom-pom from falling apart, we tightly tie it between the cardboard boxes.

First of all, preparation. Packages prepared in advance are cut across so that rings are obtained. They are fastened without using knots in a special way: they take two blanks, conditionally the first is threaded into the second, which is bent and threaded from one end to the other. Thus, the resulting rings are fastened, wound into balls. Now the material is completely ready, which means we choose what exactly to knit: knitting or crocheting.

Experienced housewives claim that both options are quite realistic in execution, if you have good skills, but preference is given to knitting needles - it is more convenient to pick up and knit, which saves a lot of time. Trust the opinion or not, of course, a purely personal matter.

Several round stencils are cut out of cardboard different sizes, parts from packages are cut out on them. It should be understood that the more different circles you prepare, the more magnificent and spectacular the craft will turn out. The next step is to cut the wire of the desired length, make a loop from one end, and start stringing parts from the other, starting with the largest one. The top should be fixed, after which the toy can be safely used: hang it on a chandelier or Christmas tree, put it on a table or window sill, after placing the lower end in the foam.

There may even be earrings or necklaces for fashionable ladies. To create crafts from packages, as in the photo, you only need to have scissors and different packages.

Roses from packages

Most easy way make something out of the package is a rosette. At the same time, it can be a decoration of the room if it is made from a bright color.

What is needed for this? Wire, scissors, packages of bright and different colors. In order to decorate, you can take some kind of fabric, as well as a thread, but this is in case you want to put flowers in a vase, and not stick them on a wall or other piece of furniture.

First you need to divide the wire into equal parts. Twist each segment into a ring with a leg. Rose includes leaves: 6 long and 5 short. Therefore, the conclusion follows that we need such a number of wire parts.

The next thing we do is take a trash bag and cut out 11 squares. They will serve us for wrapping the rings, and on the leg itself, which came out as a result of twisting the wire, everything can be well fixed. All these actions must be done carefully, otherwise the sheet will tear or will not stick to the wire.

From the sheets that were previously made, one rose is twisted. First, we take long petals, and then we need to attach larger parts from above.

Everything needs to be properly fixed and smoothed so that the polyethylene decoration (in our case, a rose) looks like a real flower.

And in the end, you need to decide where you want to place this rose. If it is a wall or a box for jewelry, then you do not need to supplement anything and you can simply glue the flower in place.

Suddenly you decide to put a rose in a vase, then you need an addition - you need legs. In this case, a high-density wire is attached to the base, and after that you can wrap the rose with green thread, up to the leaves. The fabric on the leg will become a beautiful highlight.

No matter how the flower is decorated, it will look wonderful. If you make a lot of roses, then a real bouquet will come out. Such work can be shared with children if they are interested in this type of crafts from garbage bags.

Polyethylene toys

Plastic bags can be the basis for creating wonderful toys. You can make such favors together with the baby so that he knows how to use scissors.

Note! Masters advise creativity lessons that make toys from different packages for kids from 5 years old.

What do you need to create crafts from packages? New multi-colored bags, hard cardboard, scissors.

To decorate the toy:

• beads;
• buttons;
• pebbles.

Even if you don't know which package pet you'll be making, there are plenty of options in the photo. It is very easy to create from garbage bags.

First, the base is prepared, two cardboard circles are used for it. The size is desirable to be the same diameter. The circle should look like a disk, with the same hole.

After that, you need to take a plastic bag, turn it inside out, and cut into strips so that they are as long as possible. Then wind these strips on discs that are made of cardboard and folded one to the other. You can wind in any direction, but at the same time so that there are no gaps. This is of great importance, otherwise the pompom will be crooked.

When the packet ends, you pick up the next one and keep winding. And the more wound on a cardboard disc, the more magnificent the pompom and toy for the baby will turn out.

A kid can do this kind of work on his own, because everything is simple and easy.

But the rest of the stages should be controlled by parents. We will need scissors because the pom-pom needs to be cut along the edge.

Next, we need a strip from the bag, and fold it in several layers to make it more durable. It is wrapped in the middle of two cardboard disks, so as to fix the pompom in the center. Then we remove the cardboard, and we get a wonderful ball, it needs to be straightened to get a large volume.

In the same way, you need to make a larger pompom. The small one is used as the head of a toy animal, and the large one is used as the body. In addition, you additionally need 4 small pompoms - these will be the paws of the animal.

At the last stage - collecting the toy together, you need to connect 2 large parts, and attach the small ones to the large one. Then we glue the eyes, nose and ears, which will be made of beads or buttons.

Therefore, one can do a large number of crafts with plastic bags independently, not only a dog or a hare, but also Santa Claus or a snowman for the New Year holiday.
