DIY crafts for your dacha using scrap materials

DIY garden crafts from scrap materials are a great and cost-effective way to add originality, creativity, and visual appeal to your property. Moreover, oftentimes, even the most ordinary items, seemingly destined for the landfill, can be transformed into true masterpieces, giving them a second life. There are several options for creating DIY garden crafts from scrap materials, photos and descriptions of which we'll share in this article.

Plastic pipes for decorating your dacha

If you have plastic pipes lying around your dacha, don't rush to throw them away, even if they're damaged!

The first thing you can do with plastic pipes is a flowerpot for ampelous flowersThis decoration can be used to decorate a house wall or to cover up any imperfections (such as a rotten barn door). You can also create a cozy veranda for summer tea parties, decorated with a pot of fragrant flowers. This DIY garden craft is made from household items.

A long hole should be made in the pipes, leaving a few centimeters on the sides to prevent soil from falling out of the pipe flowerbed. The cavity is filled with soil, and flowers are planted in the same way as they would in a regular flowerbed. Then, to create a "flower wall," each individual vertical pipe flowerbed should be secured together. To do this, holes should be made on the sides of each pipe flowerbed at the same level. Then, strong fishing line or wire, capable of supporting the weight of the flowers and pipes, is threaded through these holes. For an even more beautiful look, the pipes can be painted in different colors.

The result is a composition like this for the dacha:

 

You can also make a colorful birdbath out of PVC pipes. This combines business with pleasure: firstly, these birdbaths will be a real decoration for your garden, and secondly, the birds will be able to drink to their heart's content and won't attack your urban plants.

DIY crafts for the dacha Bird feeders made from household items are incredibly easy to make. PVC pipes should be capped on both ends. Then, two longitudinal holes should be made in the pipes so that water can be filled through the bottom, allowing the birds to reach the treats. The pipes are secured with metal wire, with the holes facing upwards, and only when horizontal, to prevent water from leaking out. For a more aesthetically pleasing bird feeder, it's recommended to paint the pipes; here, you can use your imagination. You can also attach paper butterflies or buttons to the wire to make the craft look even more creative and vibrant.

Advice! You can fill a birdbath with not only regular water, but also syrups; birds also approve of them!

Crafts from car tires

Used car tires can also be used as handy tools for creating DIY crafts for your dacha.

You can use them to create not only flower beds but also an entire alpine garden. Simply bury the tires lightly in the ground, fill them with soil, and then plant them. Again, from an aesthetic standpoint, tires alone won't look very appealing, so it's best to paint them a color or even incorporate a pattern into the tires.

You can also create a small sandbox for children out of a tire. The principle is the same as for creating flower beds, but you don't need to plant any plants.

When making DIY crafts for your dacha using scrap materials, you can look at photos and get inspired by a variety of ideas:

Decorating your dacha is easy, taking your time but not spending a penny. The key is to not be afraid to experiment and unleash your creative potential!
