Crafts from stones will decorate the interior of a city apartment and a suburban area. With the help of interesting ideas, you can take a child for a long time, preparing interesting compositions in a kindergarten or school. Stone is a universal material for crafts, affordable and easy to use.

Seafood

The idea of ​​a relatively interesting handicraft made of stones for children most often arises after another vacation on the seashore. Beautiful and unusual pebbles scattered along the shore are originally collected as souvenirs.

Indeed, such elements keep the warmth of the marine countries and cause nostalgia for a wonderful holiday. Sooner or later, from the river or sea "raw materials" I want to do something more interesting and unusual. To get started, you need to arm yourself with auxiliary materials. Most often, the need arises for such attributes:

• Paints;
• Glue;
• Plasticine;
• Polymer clay.

Depending on the concept of crafts made of sea stones, you may need a stand or base to create a specific installation. The simplest and win-win idea is the creation of decorative fridge magnets. On the one hand, the magnet itself is attached to the pebble, and on the other hand it is painted with paints.

Children's fantasies

If stone elements are decorated for children, they play on a bizarre natural form so that in the end they manage to get some kind of fairy-tale hero. For example, a square flattened stone is decorated with yellow paint, a face and panties are painted, like Bob's Square Pants.

Figures of cats or dogs always look win-win. If a lot of small natural stones are littered in the house, they are also painted yellow. Having drawn small details, it is possible to get a whole brood of small chickens that randomly “scattered” on the surface of the refrigerator door.

The second life of an empty bottle

Shells and stones will make excellent decor for frames, caskets or flowerpots with flowers. Very small pebbles are suitable for decorating bottles. Natural material is sometimes pre-stained, giving it an artificial original color. You can take the simplest bottle of wine, completely pasting the walls with improvised decor. Here you can not do without small shells, beads, artificial pearls, sea ropes.

By the way, with the help of a spectacular rope in a marine style, you can tie a large oblong stone to a bottle, flowerpot or other decorated container. This decor looks rude, but very impressive and stylish.

Original candlestick

If empty glassware is littered with the house, an interesting form for candles can be made from it. This craft is often used as an extraordinary candlestick. Shells and sea stones fall asleep in containers, decorated with fish figures and any other decor that matches the concept and style.

River pebbles

From river stone, you can create no less creative installations. Most often, cobblestones are used for unusual compositions in an eco-style. From such available materials it is convenient to create crafts for the kindergarten.

Unusual picture

The interior in eco style will complement the unusual installation of pebbles. A solid foundation needs to be chosen.The frame is better to choose in a minimalist style. For example, from unpainted wood.

First prepare the base of the future picture. On the canvas, a large meadow is painted with large bold strokes, smoothly turning into a blue or turquoise sky. Then, large stems form from the edge of the green canvas, extending to the sky itself.

Now it’s the turn of the decor with stones. It will take the smallest pebbles. Preferably oval or round. Some of them are painted in green, emerald, olive color. The second half in delicate floral tones. It is important for the decor to select elements of a natural origin. Artificial pearls or beads will not be appropriate.

Now, from small pebbles, green leaves are formed on the lower part of the drawn stems. The tops of improvised flowers adorn the inflorescences. Imitations of camomiles, cornflowers, other wildflowers are organically looked.

The sky can be supplemented with a sun made of large colored cobblestone. Cute and unusual children's craft is ready. The volumetric picture will become a real decoration in any room.

Mats, coasters, eco-friendly decorative trays

Crafts from shells or decorative stones can not only decorate the interior or become an object of admiration in kindergarten, but also bring tangible benefits. Napkins are used as a stand for flowerpots, for candles or a teapot in the kitchen.

Rugs are made and decorated in a similar way, but used as a regular rug, located near the doors. However, standing on it is clean feet. Some of these stone crafts are used as a natural eco-massager for the feet.

Making a stylish and spectacular attribute is very simple. As a base, a piece of linoleum, carpet or any durable, strong textile is suitable. It is most convenient to use a gun with hot glue.

Pebbles are stacked in any order that is acceptable to create a particular composition. For example, crafts can be decorated with imitation of large and small feet. Before sticking parts, they draw on the canvas something like a sketch in order to navigate how to position pebbles correctly.

Decoupage: magical metamorphoses

Crafts from shells or pebbles can be bright, unusual, exuding positive. Cobblestones can be used to work in the decoupage style. This technique is very popular for the decoration of furniture, accessories, dishes, various work surfaces.

To create a creative masterpiece, you will need the following attributes:

• One or more large flat stones;
• Bright napkins or other elements with a beautiful pattern (three-layer);
• White water based paint;
• PVA glue;
• Paints of different colors;
• Glossy varnish.

So, the stone is covered with white “water emulsion”. From napkins cut out the pattern needed for decoration. The resulting element is applied to the stone and glued to the canvas using PVA glue.
Now the stone crafts should dry. As soon as the decorated surface becomes completely dry, the background is painted with acrylic paints. There are no taboos and restrictions here. You can experiment as you like, using to the maximum all kinds of decorative techniques.

Decorations for landscape compositions

Considering the stone as the main material for creating unusual installations, it is worth mentioning the compositions for the garden. In the country, cobblestones in any form can be used simply in unlimited quantities.
