Furniture with your own hands from improvised means

Who said that from junk material can not create a real masterpiece? Often, many house-masters manage to construct something standing out of old boxes, old suitcases and even just broken pieces of furniture. As a rule, almost all craftsmen with a designer and creative eye come to mind with a table, ottoman or bedside table. It is two of these tables, we try to build and the most simple and affordable things.

2. The photo shows how it is necessary to fold the parts of the structure and connect them with each other using screws.
3. Furniture, made from improvised means, as well as ready-made from the salon, will become more comfortable and mobile with wheels. To attach them to our table, first we will beat this frame around the perimeter. We already screw the wheels on it.
4. Here is a picture. But while this is not a full-fledged furniture, made by own hands from improvised means, only a skeleton. It needs to be refined and make a table top.
5. From a piece of thick foam rubber cut out the workpiece, equal to the area of ​​the table. The same method of cutting a piece of plywood.
6. From plywood we will make the basis of the countertop, and from above we will sew it with a cloth. To get a beautiful figured effect, draw a diagram of the arrangement of buttons, make holes in the plywood for their fixation.
7. This is how the furniture will look from improvised tools without additional finishing. But let's go further and paint the wooden boxes with white paint.
8. As a result, we got here such a spectacular pouffe or table, you can use it by any methods.

Garden furniture made from improvised means

Today, some things are gradually beginning to retreat into the past, but this does not mean that they should be thrown out like this right away. You can always use imagination and transform the habitual into something new.

1. If you have ever visited flea markets, you could observe an incredible number of absolutely unique things. For example, here is a copper container in which a twisted hose was previously stored. Now it is already past, but the capacity itself can be changed into an original pouffe or table.
2. Turn the container upside down and put it on the plywood sheet. Circle and get a circle. When cutting, we make it quite a bit smaller so that it will fit tightly.
3. Cut out a thick sheet of plywood circle, equal to our bottom.
4. Now our task is to find the center of the circle. If it seems to you that it is difficult to find the center, you will have to return a few years ago and remember the geometry. The center of any circle lies at the intersection of the middle perpendiculars, which are lowered to the chords.
5. Now we have found our center. For what we did it: we need to cut another circle from the plywood, larger diameter.
6. Now we can fix two circles with each other with the help of joinery glue or screws. To strengthen the table-top to the base the author of the lesson suggests using tar, but it is quite convenient to simply put the countertop.
7. It remains only to sew our workpiece with fabric and foam rubber, and you can fix the countertop.

As you can see, the furniture, constructed by own hands from improvised means, can become quite functional and presentable. And its cost will be several times less than that of a similar salon.
