Video: DIY decorative cage
A decorative cage is a wonderful interior decoration that you can do with your own hands using quite available options using the step by step guides below.
It is noteworthy that such an accessory can successfully integrate into almost any style, and you can make it yourself. However, first you need to decide which material you are more inclined to make this creation - wood or metal. Walkthrough to create cells from these two materials will certainly help you with this.
To create a metal version, you should stock up on certain ingredients.
The basis is the drawings of our future creation and sketches of a decorative motif. Please note that the cage drawings must be made in two projections.
Two types of wire - main (aluminum) and auxiliary, you can use nichrome. Vary the thickness yourself, but it is desirable that this parameter for the first material be about 2 mm thick, and for the second no more than 0.9 mm.
Plywood about half a centimeter thick.
Jigsaw and drill
Thin nose pliers.
Drawing a cell in two projections according to the geometric formula, we find the circumference of the base. Divide the resulting length by 4 and get the length of the decorative insert motif. Now the only thing left to do is to draw the dimensions of the motif and designate the pattern, taking into account its repetition and the uniformity of the step.
Two circles should now be bent from the main wire, which will become the bottom and top of the decorative part, the ends must be firmly clamped together.
Now you should make a pattern from the wire, according to the sketch. All elements of the pattern are fastened together with the help of an auxiliary wire, the thickness of which is obviously two times less than the main one.
Now we bend the motif of the pattern around the circle, as a result we get one part of the cell.
We do the same with the second part, making it arched.
Two more decorative motifs should be made along the same path and fastened together, as a result of which we get a circle.
Now we move on to the design of the upper part of the cage, creating step by step the edge parts of the dome.
Now it's time to make a base out of plywood, which should first be marked with a pencil. The plywood circumference should have a radius equal to the radius of the wire circles. Now, on the resulting plywood circle, you should designate the radius and divide the part into several equal parts. We drill holes for the spokes, using such drills that will enter the base with difficulty.
It's time to put the pieces together
Be sure to leave a span in the amount of two links during the fastening of the knitting needles, in order to get a hole under the door as a result.
As a decor, you can use absolutely any kind of jewelry.
How to make a decorative cage with your own hands from wood
The second option is the opportunity to make an unusual piece of furniture made of wood.
The height of such a cell ready-made does not exceed 20 cm, respectively, you can place it anywhere you wish. For manufacturing you will need:
Thin wooden sticks You can use small wooden skewers.
Thick cardboard, thickness not less than 2 mm.
Glue, scissors.
Styrofoam.
Knife for cutting foam.
Pencil, ruler.
Acrylic paint.
Tassel.
Various materials to decorate creations to your taste.
From the foam we cut out two identical parts about 10x10, 2 cm thick. We mark the “nests” for placing the sticks, it is desirable that the distance between the marks is at least 1.5 cm.
The length of the sticks should be no more than 15 cm, and let their number be equal to 24 pieces. Sharpen them sharper.
Now the following parts should be cut out of cardboard and cut out:
They should be attached to the foam butt to each other.
Let the glue dry and cover all the details of the cage, including the grate, acrylic paint selected color. The white version will look best.
