Crafts have been part of our culture for many years, if not centuries, and are passed down from generation to generation not only as a practical and inexpensive way to decorate a home, but also to organize our belongings and make everything much more efficient and neat. It is common to know cases of great-grandmothers who taught grandmothers, who taught parents, who taught children to make various items,And the number of things that can be done is amazing!

With the help of the Internet it is easy to find many tutorials and templates, from boxes, to pot holders, to pillows, among other items. For those who don't have much practice with sewing, it is worth investing in fabric glue, envelopes, and other haberdashery items. Besides being an inexpensive way to decorate, handicrafts are also an excellent therapy, and can become a pleasurable hobby, as well as a way toto increase the monthly budget, when produced for commercialization.

Check out some handmade items made of fabric below for inspiration to put your artistic skills into practice:

The covering process can be done both in cardboard and wooden (MDF) boxes - just use the specific glue for each material. It is important to cut the fabric very straight in order to have a good finish.

2. reusing glass packaging

Reusing glass containers has always been a sustainable attitude, and to give the item a facelift, there is nothing better than using scraps and leaving the jar super customized and the glass decorated.

3. printed fabric and felt for the baby's welcome picture

Often small details make a huge difference in decoration, especially if it is that colorful detail in the midst of neutrality. This pendulum made with fabric, filling, string, and a few beads is nice proof.

9. colored peace medallions

The delicate peace medallions made of plastic became much prettier with the application of fuxicos in its back. Oh, and did you notice the format? This giant fuxico is actually covering a CD, so the round shape is perfect.

Dishcloths are more than necessary in the kitchen, and the cuter they are, the better, to beautify the kitchen.

The mix of prints on this table set is super charming, since the colors of both fabrics are identical. This can be done with the tablecloth + napkins or the American set + napkins.

Sometimes a piece is made so versatile that it can serve a multitude of different functions, like this little car trash can, which can easily be used to store any small thing like headphones, notebook, crayons, etc.

A simple box lid wrapped with a beautiful fabric became an irreverent ornament without the need for large investments. Some little flowers and satin ribbons were used for the simple, yet colorful and cheerful decoration.

24. curtain bindings

This is a craft that can be made with leftovers from other productions and in large quantities, since it is necessary to use few materials for its confection.

25. to brighten up the family easter

Rustic fabrics mixed with more delicate materials create a very special effect. And the more minimalist its execution, the nicer and more versatile it is.

It may seem a bit difficult to make, but there are tutorials that teach how to make a pet bed out of an ordinary sweatshirt, believe me! In this model, the various prints used combine perfectly, and create a delicate color palette.

31. for World Sloth Day

Sometimes we just want to eat some popcorn and watch a movie while lying on the bed or sofa, don't we? And look what an efficient solution for a lazy day like this: a support made of fabric and filling to hold the popcorn pot and the refreshment glasses. Now the series marathons have more meaning!

32. garland of dreams

All the little flowers (and also the little bird) were made separately and then fixed to a circular base (called a frame) with silicone glue. The little buds made with buttons gave the piece an extra charming touch.

Children will surely want to play with your decorative rooster all the time, and it will be impossible to say no to them, especially if it is as charming and friendly as this one!

Storing delicate scissors and pins properly is essential to avoid any kind of accident at home, especially when you have children and pets.

35. cell phone protector

If your bag or backpack is lacking an internal pocket, it is time to provide a nice and safe protector for your cell phone. And, as a bonus, you can also put your headset inside it.

That S.O.S. kit for the vainest to fix a broken nail by accident, or carry the basics to do the nails during a trip. Perfect, compact and functional.
