Effective ways to decorate your dacha using available materials.

Vase or holder from a grater

An old grater that has fallen into disrepair can easily be turned into a holder for cutlery by attaching it to a wall or treated board. It can also serve as a picturesque vase for dried flowers.

A lamp made from books

With a lamp on a thin leg, a stack of unnecessary books and a drill, it is quite easy to create an unusual thing from ordinary objects. The lamp will serve as a functional decoration for the dacha.

Cans and tanks

Use old capacious containers as floor vases. Barrels, watering cans, cans and even bathtubs will come in handy – they look great in tandem with flowers and greenery.

Mirror in the garden

Add a little magic to your site and visually expand the space by hanging a large or antique mirror on the fence. An item that imitates a window and reflects a garden will look even more interesting.

Spool table

A useful wooden spool will decorate your home or plot and serve as a table in the lounge area. Sand it, stain it, paint it, and add some jute rope or an umbrella to shade you from the sun.

Candlesticks from Jars

Both tin and glass jars will come in handy. To create a magical effect, it is worth preparing several candlesticks that can be hung on the branches of fruit trees or placed on the ground.

Lace decor

If you have a collection of your grandmother’s lace napkins or you can crochet, create a beautiful table runner, curtain, lamp from openwork items, or simply place a few napkins in a frame.

Concrete Leaves

Having learned how to work with construction concrete, you will be able to make incredible decorations for the garden: birdbaths, flowerpots, fountains and paths in the form of large picturesque leaves. The products can be painted and left outside in bad weather without fear.

Funnel decoration

Even such a utilitarian thing can be turned into decor – for example, turn it over and put a suitable candle in it or plant flowers with a superficial root system. Such items are remembered precisely because of the surprise effect.

A Door Flowerpot

An ordinary door that has served its time can be transformed into a charming holder for flower pots. They are usually planted with unpretentious hanging plants – petunias are ideal for this purpose.

Furniture handles

Revive old furniture or replace missing handles with items that look at them from a new angle. Metal taps, old aluminum spoons, and wooden spools of thread will do.

Unusual bird feeder

A cup and saucer glued together with all-purpose glue are not only a decoration for the garden, but also a useful bird feeder that will attract birds to your site. Birds will help to cope with insect pests and will delight you with their chirping.

Bed net

Don’t know what to do with your old metal bed? Transform its grid into a garden organizer, hanging tools, pots and other useful little things, or turn it into a moodboard, decorating a summer cottage workplace.

Wind chimes

Air chimes can be made not only from bamboo or shells. A popular Feng Shui accessory for a summer house can be made from tin cans, keys, dry wooden sticks, spoons and forks, corks or beads.

Wall decoration from a wheel

Any wheel is a great basis for all sorts of crafts. It can serve as a holder for flower pots, a lampshade or an original photo frame, which should be fixed to the wall and complemented with clothespins.

Lighthouse

Lighthouses are a popular decorative motif for landscape design, creating a romantic mood in the garden. It can be made from sticks, logs, painted on a board or glued from ceramic flower pots. Add a candle and the lighthouse will glow in the dark.

Suitcase

Don’t throw away your suitcase – turn it into a bedside table or a table, placing it on any wooden legs left over from old furniture. You can store small items, books and toys inside.

Original paths

To turn ordinary concrete or tiled paths into aesthetic ones, paint some of them in a checkerboard pattern or use a stencil. Before work, the path must be thoroughly washed. Weather-resistant enamel will do.

To create a wow effect, you can buy glowing paint.

Painted chairs

Old but sturdy wooden chairs that have been serving at the dacha for decades can easily be updated by sanding and painting them in natural colors. Leave some details in the wood or complement the seat with a cushion sewn from unnecessary clothes – the design options are endless.

Painted pebbles

Acrylic paints and stones – all you need for an interesting pastime and the creation of unusual decor. From a cut of a tree and pebbles you can make an outdoor version of the game “tic-tac-toe”.

Most of the listed decorations for the garden and vegetable garden are easy to create with your own hands from scrap materials, adding coziness and beauty to the area.
