After any repair, there are always unused materials, including wooden planks, slats, pieces of plywood, trim skirting boards. As experience shows, rarely anyone throws such residues. Sometimes from them it is possible to make original and useful things for the house. We offer several options for such crafts.
Glass coasters
From the remaining boards from the repair, you can make unusual coasters for glasses. Enough to sand them well from all sides, then you can varnish. It won’t take a lot of time, but you will have beautiful accessories that will not only decorate your table, but also protect it from damage.
Cutting board
From large pieces of wood, you can cut cutting boards. If you need such a board for your own kitchen, you can give it the usual shape. Well, if you want to surprise someone with a handmade gift, cut out a board of some unusual shape, paint and varnish.
Work Tool Organizer
If you have a sufficient length of a wooden block, you can make a convenient stand for tools that are stored in your house. Thus, you will not be looking for the right tool in the box for a long time, but just take a chisel or screwdriver in a convenient cell drilled in a bar. In addition, such a stand can be conveniently placed in your workshop.
Souvenir shelf
From racks of different lengths, an unusual shelf in the form of mountain peaks will be obtained. If you drill holes on the sides, then through them you can easily pull a dense thread or fishing line. This will make the shelf more interesting. Such an article will decorate a wall, for example, in a kitchen or a corridor. It is convenient to place small souvenirs or other small items that you often use on it.
Speaker for smartphone
Now many people use sound amplifiers for smartphones. Of course, you can make them yourself or purchase in a store. But from the remnants of wood, try to make an original stand for such a speaker.
Wooden candlestick
Everyone in the house sometimes turns off the light, and then ordinary candles come to our aid. Of course, it is most convenient if the candle is in the candlestick. You can buy it in the store, or you can try to do it yourself. It is enough to take a rectangular wooden block, sand it with sandpaper, cover with varnish or stain. In the center, make a small depression in which to place the candle stand. Such a stylish candlestick will not only decorate the interior, but also will not cost you anything.
Shelves with drawers
From various large planks, small shelves with drawers will turn out. The main thing here is to correctly maintain the dimensions. Then they will need to be painted in tone with other wooden pieces of furniture in your room.
There are many more ideas for crafts made from leftover wood. From them you can make frames for paintings and photographs, housekeepers, stands for your collections, clothes hangers. If you have a garden, then a small bench will be very useful there. Also, the surface of the lumber is easily transformed into a chess board.
