Unusual original ideas for the home. DIY home interior

Every hostess and owner wants to make their home beautiful and comfortable. This article contains the most different ideas for the home, which allow you to achieve this result with a small investment of time, money and effort.

We decorate the walls

Recently, walls painted or pasted over with plain wallpaper have become very popular. Yes, They serve as a great backdrop for accessories, furniture, etc. But large empty spaces require some kind of additions. How to decorate an empty wall? There are a lot of ways, you just need to choose the right one.

Geographic maps on the walls

An extremely simple and very effective home idea that helps solve the problem of empty walls - stick a geographic map. It is not suitable for any room and not for every interior, but for a children's room, study, balcony or loggia, and in some cases even for a bedroom or living room, you can find options. It is important to choose the right map for the interior, and they are not only "ordinary" - geographic. There are vintage, nautical, stylized, etc.

Where to find similar cards? Geographic Maps can be found in bookstores or stationery stores. You won't find stylized or antique ones there. Some options can be found in wallpaper stores. There they are in the form of photowall-paper. Many different ones on the beloved by many Aliexpress, you can search in other online stores. But there is another option: find the map you like on the Internet, save it to a medium and print it in a company that is engaged in outdoor advertising. The only requirement is a large card format. They, of course, will be able to increase it, but not indefinitely. So the original image should be high quality and large.

We make modular paintings

The idea for the home - pictures and photos on the walls - is not new and has fed up with many. Yes, this is a classic, but I want something new and unusual. One of the options is modular paintings. This is one image split into a different number of fragments. Fragments can be different in size or the same. Often these "pieces of images" are called "modules", hence the name "modular picture".

As an object, you can take any poster, poster, wallpaper. You can, again, print your favorite image in an advertising agency. In this case, you can even take your own photo or close friends, your favorite landscape, etc. Based on the composition of the picture, it is divided into several parts, cut. Frames are made for the fragments. The dimensions of the frames should be 3-5 cm smaller than the fragments so that the module can be wrapped and fixed on the back side.

Nature is one of the most popular motives Sunset sun on the sea - what could be more romantic Beach, sun, summer ...
Flowers again ... Symmetrical splitting is also possible Fantasy - an option for teenagers

Frames can be made from wooden planks, covered with thin plywood or fiberboard. But the easiest way is to take foam with sufficient density (300-350 g / m³) with a thickness of 4-5 mm or more. It costs a little, you can cut it with any hacksaw, it will not damage the paper, it weighs a mere trifle, so you can even fix the modules on double-sided tape. You can attach images to tablets using glue (find the right one), or using a construction stapler and staples.

Decorative mirrors

Home ideas using mirrors are not new. The first examples of this magic glass appeared before our era and were extremely expensive and rare. And not surprising. The mirror itself is a great accessory, and if it has an unusual shape or an amazing frame, it will definitely become an interior decoration.

It's so simple - circles from mirrors, and butterflies from a mirror transform the interior - an interesting idea
If you decorate a shelf, a chest of drawers, a bedside table in the same style ...

Such compositions can be made not only from an ordinary mirror - sprayed glass. There is an acrylic mirror on the market. It is flexible and completely safe material. It does not give as perfect a reflection as a "normal" mirror, but for these conditions it is not required. You need a plastic material that is easy to work with. Sell ​​sets of fragments different shapes and the size, on the back of which double-sided tape is glued. Attaching such a mirror is simple: remove the protective film from the adhesive tape, apply and press. Everything.

Making accessories for home decoration

Many ideas for home relate to the creation of unique author's crafts that make our home memorable and comfortable. These are the things that create the atmosphere at home. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to spend an incredible amount of time and money on their creation. There are very simple ideas using the most mundane, and sometimes junk things.

Home ideas are a sea of ​​possibilities to improve the interior or to make your life more comfortable ... and sometimes both.

Decoration of vases and bottles with lace

Amazing transformations can take very little time. For example, you can make a uniquely beautiful vase from an ordinary vase, bottle or jar. Moreover, the process itself will take 10-15 minutes. This is if you have everything at hand. And, in addition to decoration objects, only lace, PVA glue, scissors and a brush are needed.

Everything is exactly as you thought. We just wrap the vessel with lace, cut it to size, glue it, wait until it dries. It's all. But the result will please you.

Who said that lace should be white ...

Lace can be bought or knitted. The second option allows you to decorate vases of complex shapes, which can be done with great difficulty with ordinary lace. If you don't know how to knit, but want to decorate a vase unusual shape, look for stretch. There is also such, and in a fairly wide range. With the help of a stretching openwork most of problems are removed.

Zen garden

If you are looking for original ideas for home, consider a miniature Zen garden. It is easy to do, it looks great, and it can also help you relax and calm down after a hard working day... Only this accessory is not for families with small children…. You will understand why.

Sad Zen in the original - pretty a complex system, but styling can be done from a transparent rounded container or even from a glass candy bowl, vase, small aquarium... More sand will be needed for landscape design, terrariums or aquariums and a jerky plant or cactus.

First, let's figure out how to deal with the plant. you can put it in a small pot and bury it in the sand. Instead of a pot, you can use a sock with soil (tie a sock). Some plants (cacti) can be planted directly in the sand. In general, you choose any method, but with direct landing in the sand, you need to take care of normal drainage - put pebbles on the bottom.

Sand is poured into the container, a pot with a plant or its roots is installed, all this is covered with sand to a certain level. All is ready. Now the surface of the sand is leveled and drawings are applied to it. There is a special metal stick for drawing, but a wooden one is also suitable for a start.

If you want to get closer to the original, you can make a desktop version japanese garden from a small box. The frame of the box is assembled from wood blocks or bamboo trunks, the bottom is usually made from plywood or well-fitted and processed wood planks. You can also make legs.

The resulting container is also filled with fine sand, but what else to add there is up to you. You can plant several plants, lay stones, pebbles, put candles, a Buddha figurine. In general, here everyone already creates their own Zen))

Mini garden in the house

There are two types of miniature gardens that can be made to decorate the interior of a house or apartment: open and semi-closed. An open mini-garden is made in large flat pots, pallets. You can use miniature plants type "bonsai", succulents and cacti of small sizes.

When choosing plants, pay attention not only to the size, but also to the soil in which the plants grow. With enough large area mini-garden, it can be divided into zones with different soil acidity, but this will require physical separation, as well as delimitation using physical plastic partitions so that the soils do not mix.

In such an interior decoration, a real garden is recreated. With paths, benches, rockeries, etc. You can put toy house, make a pond. All that your imagination will tell you.

Semi-closed mini-gardens are made in glass containers. Round ones look very interesting: aquariums, vases. Soil or stones are poured into them, plants are planted. But in such a limited volume, it is necessary to select plants not only by the type of soil, but also by the degree of illumination, irrigation regime, etc. You will not be able to take care of plants in a jar in different ways.

The smallest gardens ... And then - a garden of moss ... a piece of a fairy tale

Different types of moss can be grown in such containers. In fact, they are very beautiful and only in such miniature gardens and you can consider them to the smallest detail. Some of them resemble trees or shrubs, others are more like herbaceous plants... A wide variety of compositions are created from pebbles and moss, reproducing real landscapes or taking us to a fairyland.

DIY cushions

If you look at the photos of interiors, you will notice that in most of them pillows give a zest to the interior. With their help, a boring interior turns into a lively and memorable one. Besides, a large number of pillows allow you to rest comfortably. Ideas like this for a house allow you to quickly change the "mood of the interior", adding home comfort.

In the case of using fabrics, everything is clear - we select the color and texture for the interior. But there are homemade pillows, from which and breathes coziness. A striking example of this is knitted pillows. A variety of patterns, colors, shapes. But the result is the same - they really want to hug, squeeze. They are overwhelmed in a very non-standard way.

From old flannel pajamas and sweaters And these old jeans turn into an original pillowcase ... all you need is a fabric with an adhesive base Knitted miracle - very cozy Lace for finishing pillows - you need to choose a style Fleecy fabrics - simple and effective

What if you don't know how to knit? It doesn't matter. There are old sweaters. Yours or yours. They make very interesting and neat pillows. Cut the old knitwear to the sleeves, tuck a pillow into a semi-finished pillowcase, sew on both sides. That's it, the designer pillow is ready.

You can also use lace, fleecy fabrics, old jeans, even pajamas. Everything is in motion. And the weirder the colors are, the more interesting the result is.

Ideas for home: different little things with your own hands

The atmosphere and coziness in the house is created not only by global things. A lot of small things that can be made from scrap materials bring no less but, sometimes, more pleasure and benefit. You use them often. And you don't look at the same pictures or mirrors a month later. A number of ideas for turning your home into a cozy and comfortable place have been collected in this section.

Opportunities - the sea

Tray for shoes with pebbles

Owners of private houses have to go out into the yard regardless of the weather. Therefore, shoes do not always shine with cleanliness. Many people get out of the situation by putting a rubber mat near the door or by placing a rubber pallet. Yes, the dirt does not spread, but the view is not the most attractive. You can significantly improve the situation simply by pouring pebbles into the pallet. Water will flow over the stones, the drips are not visible on them, the dirt too. From time to time it will be necessary to soak the pebbles in water and rinse them to remove the accumulated dirt, but pebbles are reusable material and they simply cannot "rub off".

If there is no rubber pallet, you can knock down a wooden box with a side height of about 10 cm. Pebbles can be found on the banks of a river, sea, etc. As a last resort, you can find it in designer stores or where aquarium supplies are sold. But buying this "charm" turns out to be expensive.

Storing scarves

There are usually a lot of scarves, scarves and other similar products in every family. How to store them so that they do not take up a lot of meta, are always at hand, and even at the same time do not wrinkle? There are several life hacks that you can easily do with your own hands.

First. We attach metal rings to an ordinary hanger. Rings can be plastic or metal. Both those and others can be found in the departments selling. There are not so many, in shape, size and material. Rings can be nailed to wooden hangers / hangers / trembles, attached with staples from a stapler, to plastic ones - glued or tied with threads. And that's it, you have a scarf storage device.

The situation with the second device is a little more complicated. You will need a processed board and a dozen or two clothespins. We attach the clothespins to the bar with one side. They can be nailed, screwed, glued. You will also need hinges to fix the structure itself on the wall.

Both home ideas are practical, require a minimum of money and a little time. And evaluate the benefits yourself. Especially in the spring-autumn period, when there are a lot of scarves, shawls, pots on the shelf.

Instead of a bookshelf

- a good thing, but not everywhere they are appropriate, and good copies cost a lot of money. But books have to be stored somewhere. Exit - metal brackets. When installed, the lower book serves as a support for milking 4-5 pieces, which are simply stacked on it.

Book holder - all ingenious is simple

The disadvantage is obvious - the lower book is not available. The way out is to put the most unpopular or unnecessary down.

Holders for keys and other small items

One of the most big problems- where to hang the keys so that they can be quickly found, and also instantly hang or take off. One of the good options is a magnetic board, but where to find it is a question. But you can make funny holders from balls for tennis. They are cut to about a third of the diameter. That's all. The holder is ready. It only needs to be fixed somewhere. It is possible - on the wall with the help of nails, you can attach several pieces on a separate board, and attach the board itself to the wall, cabinet, etc.

Instead of a housekeeper - pretty faces

You can make such a holder for small items in a matter of seconds. Look for tennis balls longer. And to make it even more interesting, eyes are glued to the ball. It turns out to be such a funny smiley.

Basket from a plastic tank and clothespins

The farm's forehead is full of plastic containers from under food products, but ideas for a home with their participation are rare. We found one such option, in which the hero is a liter container of mayonnaise. In principle, any large diameter, low height can will do. Otherwise, the "basket" will be inconvenient to use.

Waste to income - a basket from a plastic can

Using universal glue, glue the container with clothespins. When the glue is dry, cover the surface with varnish or wood oil. We close the inner part with a cover sewn from cotton or linen. We make it a little longer than necessary so that you can hide the unsightly edge behind the lapel.

The handle is made of steel wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm. We bend an arc out of it. At one end we make a loop, in the sidewall using a nail heated on fire, we make two diagonally located holes (one opposite the other). In one hole we pass the formed loop on the handle. Bend the wire on the second side, thread it through the second hole, and then form a loop. We decorate the handle with hemp rope. You can also make decorations for the basket from it. If you know how to weave macrame - great, no - an ordinary braid, woven from several threads, will do.

Stand for a sofa or armchair for cups / glasses / newspapers

Drinking seagulls in your favorite chair is a great idea. Here are just nowhere to put a cup, the phone always falls between the seat and the "byltsy". Armrests at modern models soft, you can't put anything on them. So they came up with smart people make a stand for cups / glasses (pictured). An extremely simple and very handy thing. Few home ideas will bring you more enjoyable moments.

You will need three boards with a width of at least 25 cm. They are knocked down in the form of the letter "P" (the connection can be strengthened with carpentry corners). The height of the lintel is a little more than the height of the armrest, the table should protrude no more than 1/3 of the seat width, otherwise you simply will not sit in the chair. The structure is placed sideways, the lower part is pushed under the chair. It serves as an emphasis and does not allow the structure to roll over. To be sure, make the lower part much longer than the "table". Also, for mobility, you can install casters, but do not forget that the legs have modern furniture low and small wheels are needed, and they will have to be fixed from the side. Otherwise, the stand will simply not fit under the chair.

Where to hide dog bowls

Dog owners know how challenging it is to find a place for their dog bowls. Dogs living in an apartment or house are usually fed in the kitchen. There they are given bowls. But they are needed for half an hour a day, and then all day they get underfoot on the floor. You can solve the problem, and elegantly. Place the bowls in one of the drawers... Needed - they opened a box, poured food. The feeding is over - the bowls have been washed, put back, the drawer has been pushed back. Everything is perfect and does not bother anyone.

This idea will require a small crate redesign. A small section bar or corner is stuffed around the perimeter. Plywood, or other sheet material cut a rectangle the right size... We cut holes in it under the bowls, then paint (if necessary). That's all, the idea has been implemented. It remains to train pets.

Idea for storing slippers

In any house or apartment with two or more inhabitants, slippers are lost all the time, get confused and disappear somewhere. One of the interesting ideas for solving the problem is these pipes / sneaker holders. Each pair has its own pipe. Order is guaranteed.

Pipes can be from of stainless steel, you can slice them from plastic pipes large diameter. It will only be necessary to process the cut well - so that it is convenient and beautiful.

You can create a beautiful and cozy interior in your home with the help of hand-made crafts. Making such original things is not so difficult - professional skills are not needed for this. The things that we do with our own hands are unique, they give individuality to the interior of the home, bring variety to the atmosphere.

The special warmth of the hearth emanates from handicrafts. Thanks to unusual creative gizmos, you will be able to change the interior as you wish or in accordance with the seasons (for example, create a New Year's decor). DIY home decor differs in variety and purpose. Homemade beautiful things and useful crafts for the home can be used as original furnishings, decorative elements or as accessories for storing various household items.

In order to do things with your own hands, it is not necessary to buy expensive materials, you can also use improvised means.

The creation of an unusual decor is possible without large material costs... Most of you have various unnecessary little things in your house, for example, fabrics, colored paper, buttons - all this can be used as materials for crafts.

Such "junk" is in almost every house, if you take apart the closet or dig in the attic - something, yes. For making beautiful novelties and homemade little things, they will also come in handy natural materials, glue and thread. But the ideas of handmade decor at home are also needed - of course.

Many people believe that only people with experience can craft and independently create presentable interior items - this is a delusion. Show your imagination, combine materials of different texture, do not be afraid to experiment, and you will create not only beautiful, but also original decor for your home.

Even if you have to tinker with the first thing, each subsequent decorative craft will come out better and better, and you will spend less time.

DIY home craft ideas

So, what can you do with your own hands for the home? Let's look at a few ideas for inspiration. Among the options offered, you will definitely find something interesting for yourself and try to make the thing you like with your own hands.

Housekeeper

One of the useful things for the house, while performing a decorative function that you can make with your own hands, is the housekeeper.

The peculiarity of this key holder is that its design imitates brickwork. The basis for the key holder is thick cardboard (you can use part of a box). You will also need heavyweight toilet paper or thick tissues. A dense material is needed so that it does not creep when lubricated with glue. Stock up acrylic paints, varnish and glue ( normal will do PVA).

Make the back wall of the key holder out of rectangular cardboard or plywood sheet. Hooks will be attached to the base. Cut out small rectangular bricks from cardboard, the size should be the same and glue them to the base, leaving a small distance between the parts. Not the entire surface of the cardboard is pasted over with bricks.

In the central part, you need to stick a plate decorated with an inscription, and place a beautiful picture in the upper part.

After that, coat the bricks well with glue, and on top put a napkin (previously crumpled), a little more glue for impregnation. Using a stick, press a napkin or paper into the gaps between the miniature bricks to create corners. Give the craft time to dry.

Paint over the dried panel with paint (to imitate natural brick, you need to choose a red-brown shade). Use bronze paint to paint the seams.

After the paint has dried, cover the bricks in the same tone, using a dry brush (dip the brush in bronze paint, and then wipe on paper until it is almost dry, and only then brush the brickwork).

On a note! When painting bricks with a brush, you need to drive without changing direction.

To give the key holder a smooth finish, cover it with a clear matte varnish.

The work is completed by attaching loops, after which it can be hung on the wall or donated to someone. In the photo below is a finished housekeeper:

Hanger for jewelry

All the fair sex love jewelry; almost every woman has jewelry that needs to be stored somewhere. The original storage for jewelry will be a hanger made like a picture.

In order to make a hanger for storing jewelry, you will need:

• baguette frame;
• plywood;
• stain (paint can be used as a substitute);
• hooks and handles from boxes;
• nails;
• screwdriver and drills;
• cutting tool.

Cut the plywood according to the dimensions of the frame and coat it with stain, then dry it and attach it to the frame. Mark the places where the hooks will be attached and screw them down. It remains to hang decorations on a hanger.

Now you have a place to store women's treasures - jewelry.

Box made of plastic canvas for storing small items

A simple but presentable box designed for storing various little things can be made of plastic canvas.

Canvas is an embroidery material. You will need a canvas made of plastic, you can buy it in stores where everything for needlework is sold.

On a note! The plastic canvas is usually made in the form of A4 sheets. The perforation in the plastic canvas differs in size. Canvases are produced with a different number of perforations, the more there are, the less they are.

In addition to the canvas, you need to stock up on the following materials:

• dense threads;
• large needle;
• cloth or beads;
• scissors.

The embroidery on the canvas made of plastic is almost no different from the usual one. Embroidery techniques can be different, the most popular are cross and satin stitch.

The plastic canvas is flexible, but very durable.

Decide how big your box will be. Divide the material into parts for the sides and bottom. There should be five parts in total. Craft the elements for the lid. Make a piece that is 0.5 cm larger in width and length from the bottom. The sides of the lid should be slightly narrower. You will need five more parts. Then sew the parts with thick threads (you can use braid, and even ribbons).

You can embroider any pattern on the blanks. Drape the parts that have not been embroidered with a cloth or embroider with beads.

After completing all 10 blanks, start assembling. The first step is to sew the side pieces to the bottom. Then sew on the outside all the side elements of the box and sew the top along the edges. The last step is to assemble the cover in the same way.

Similarly, we collect the lid of the box.

A beautiful box made of plastic canvas is ready.

Wicker rugs in tapestry technique

One of the options for giving the interior a coziness is tapestry rugs. You don't need special tools to weave such things. A rug using the tapestry technique can be made from scrap materials: thick threads that are used for knitting (they can be replaced with ropes made from old clothes) and cords.

Tapestry is a hand-made, lint-free carpet. The base of the tapestry rugs is decorated with ornaments created by weaving threads. We will create a plot composition in the form of a circle with traced lines, along which a thread will run, which will serve as the basis.

All work is carried out using weft threads. Under the complex name, ordinary ropes and braid are hidden, from which weaving and decorative patterns are created.

• choose a strong thread to create the base;
• broaching the weft thread should be done by hand;
• to make the tapestry more dense, you can press the threads to the center, for this use a simple fork.

Stage one. We draw a cardboard with a size of 500 x 500 mm. We sew the cardboard with the thread chosen for the base. To do this, cut the markings drawn on the cardboard and thread the rope through the lines so that it runs through the central part.

Stage two. We start weaving tapestry. You need to carefully fix the starting thread. Weaving in the tapestry technique consists in pulling the cord underlying by alternating one thread from above and the second from below.

Stage three. After weaving the last turn of the thread in a circle of cardboard, you need to turn the resulting rug to the back side and cut off the base cords. Leave about 5 cm at the ends when trimming. Pull the ends of the laces out of the notches made on the cardboard (you do not need to remove the picture while pulling out) and tie them in pairs. Attach pompons to the resulting knots.

Finish the composition by sewing on the thick rope from the wrong side in a circle to hide the knots and ends of the threads.

Advice. Using different textures and shades of threads, you can make different rugs and then combine them into one. You will end up with a large rug that can be hung on the wall or laid on the floor.

A tapestry rug placed on the floor will warm it up and look beautiful. Weaving a tapestry rug with your own hands is not difficult: try it and see for yourself.

Ribbon curtain

You can make an unusual curtain from ribbons. The tape curtain is suitable for both windows and doors. It will take a little time to make a curtain from ribbons, even sewing machine need not. The fluttering ribbon curtain repels insects well; earlier such curtains were made from newspapers cut into strips.

To make a curtain from ribbons, you need the following materials:

• ribbons or fabric strips (with non-frayed edges);
• cornice;
• clamps or buttons.

The tapes must be thrown over the cornice and fixed with clamps. Large beads can be strung onto fabric strips for decoration.

The tape curtain fulfills not only a practical, but also a decorative function. The advantage of ribbon curtains is lightness. This is a great option for a summer residence, a ribbon curtain can be hung in the apartment as well.

Flower pots made of paper bags

Many people have paper bags at home, instead of throwing them away, make a flower planter out of them.

Materials for making flower pots:

• paper bags;
• wood skewer;
• scissors;
• rope;
• glue;
• plastic container.

Take paper bags and mark them on them: eight strips measuring 70x300 mm, then cut the paper along the dotted lines.

Place a wood skewer in the corner of one of the strips and wind it around it paper base diagonally. You must make a paper tube from each strip. Tape the corners of the paper tubes so that they do not unwind. The easiest way to do this is with a glue gun.

Take a plastic container, apply glue to it and wrap it with paper (from all the same bags) so that the plastic is not visible. Glue the paper tubes to the bottom of the container. Cut 70x450 mm paper strips (you will need large bags) and make tubes.

Wrap the tubes so that they are pressed against the walls of the container. Attach a long paper tube with glue to the bottom of the container, and wrap it around it, you need to braid the main tubes. Wrap all the main tubes, and then change the weaving direction to braid the missing tubes - this is how you need to wrap the entire container.

Make two holes in the sides of the pot (top).

Pull the string through the holes made, at each end of the twine you need to tie a knot in order to fix it well. Another woven tube will help to hide the ends of the twine. Wrap the tubes protruding above the pot inside the container and secure with glue.

Unusual flower pots are ready.

Idea 9. Jars for storing spices and bulk products

Today we will talk about an express technique for making paper baskets, which can be used to store small things (keys, stationery), yarn, as well as for an unusual serving of fruits, Easter eggs, bread or pastries for a festive table or as a gift.

Even a child can weave such baskets quickly and easily.

You will need:

• About 15 sheets of A3 thin paper, cut in half along the sheets (this can be printer paper, a sheet of newspaper in full spread, and even baking paper);
• A container of a suitable size with straight walls (for example, a jam jar);
• Glue stick;
• One skewer;
• Spray paint (optional).

Instructions:

1. Starting at one corner, start rolling the sheet of paper tightly around the skewer to the diagonally opposite corner to form a straight and long tube. When the straw is ready, add a few dabs of glue to the corner of the paper to hold it in place and pull the skewer out. Do the same with all the remaining sheets. In this master class, weaving 2 baskets took 30 tubes.
2. If necessary (for example, if you used newspaper sheets) or if desired, paint the tubes with acrylic paint.
3. Take an even number of tubes and connect them together as shown in the photo in the upper left corner. In this master class, a basket the size of a jam jar took 6 tubes, and a larger basket - 8 tubes.

1. Start braiding: take one of the outer tubes (which is under the grate) and run it over the adjacent tube, then run it under the next tube, then pull the tube out again on top of the next tube, etc. Continue weaving by lifting the already entwined tubes vertically (now these tubes will be called uprights).
2. When 2-3 cm remain from the first working tube, increase its length. To do this, apply glue to a new tube and insert it into the remaining “tail”. Continue braiding over and over, adding paper tubes as needed.
3. As soon as you braid the base of the desired diameter (the same size as the container), place the container on it and start weaving around it, pulling the stand pipes close to the walls.
4. After finishing the basket to the end, take out the can and carefully wrap the end of the working tube into the weaving.
5. Wrap the ends of the uprights inside the netting and cut if necessary. Then you can spray paint from a spray can as in our master class.
