🌿 As I am from the old hose made three ornaments for the garden

When the holiday season in full swing, everyone is the same problem weeds. It seems like only weeded garden - and she was again the ear. And she is not afraid of no drought or heavy rains. How to attract their home to an active weeding and thus to make decorations for the garden from this junk material, as well as an old garden hose - this HouseChief material from Svetlana Anisimova from Moscow.

Good afternoon friends! I like to do something with their hands, and in the summer at the cottage room for creativity are endless. One problem: the need to find time to care for vegetable gardenAnd help in this matter, quite frankly, no one really wants. Even children are not interesting to tear the grass, which would reward them for it, I neither invented. But here under my hands got an old hose that is cracked in several places and was unusable for its intended purpose.

Hose made of soft plastic, not very flexible, and it gave me the idea of taking it as a basis for garden figures

Decorative basket

For the manufacture of decorative baskets, I needed a piece of hose length of about three meters.

I turned the hose in the ring and fix it in place with a steel wire

Next - the most interesting. It was only necessary to tell the children that I am preparing a surprise for him, I need grass. Two beds were weeded ten minutes without any coercion.

Herbs had a lot to my pans, but I decided to do everything slowly, fueling interest in my household until the final result

For the next phase, but grass and hose, I needed a strong thread. It is best to use a nylon. One that is sold in fishing stores. With it, there is hope that the figure of the grass will not collapse until the end of the season.

Ring from a hose, I wrapped grass, fixing material green thread and gradually adding bundles

When the first ring was ready, I went on a winding, forming a second circle

These two rings became the basis for the basket. I fix them relative to each other.

Balance the hose went on the formation of the handle of the basket

I wrapped the handle grass as well as the base, fixing thread

Basket was ready. I must say that after a week the grass turned yellow and dried up and the basket turned out like straw. So against the background of green garden, she looked very contrasting. Now I had something to fill the tank.

The idea suggested children. They dragged the first stones

But the stones - it's like something is not beautiful. And then I remembered a huge amount of gorgeous examples from the Internet. Stones can be colored! Before my eyes were seals, owls, frogs and other masterpieces. But we decided to start with the most simple.

Painted stones "delicious" bright crimson paint

Here is an ornament for the garden came from my three meters of the old hose and weeds. Children delighted

decorative bridge

For the second ideas I also took the hose. I must say that in my garden there is a dry brook, and I have long wanted to do to him decorative bridge. These designs can be made from almost anything, it is not necessary to use solid wood.

I found in the shed here are the old board from dismantled boxes. It is good that they are the same

Hose long lay twisted like this larger ring. This is exactly what I needed. Plastic took the usual form

I cut two semicircles of the hose. The result was the foundation for my bridge

It remains only a simple board primotat polyethylene rope. Although then I thought that the jute would look better

There definitely need to say about this: if you just put a bridge on the ground, under the weight of it eventually dispersed for plating, ie straighten support. To avoid this, you need to stick to the ground any pins, though the old large nails, and to impose on them the ends of the hose. Then he locks, and support will not be straightened.

On the fixed bridge can even put a pot with a flower

Rocinante in my garden

Children were jumping around me and vying asked to do something else. And when I mentioned his horse out of the grass - in a flash ran weed beds. To be honest, I thought Peculiarities of National Fishing and prosecutor who forester I dig garden.

On the remains of horse hose left. I had in several places cut it for business

Of pieces of hose with wire I made a frame: legs, torso and head on a long neck

Herbs I had in abundance, so that the whole frame, I wrapped the green weed and fix all the same thread kapron

Here such I turned Rocinante, Don Quixote's horse. For a luxurious mane and tail, I used the weeds with flowers. Yes, everything is then dried, but somehow the mane and tail withered green and the grass turned yellow. The horse turned out - just handsome.

That's how I managed to solve three tasks: to find a use for the old hose, to decorate a garden and lo, weed garden forces the younger part of the family. Have not I done?

Of course, Svetlana just whiz! How much imagination and creativity! How do you like her idea? Maybe you have your own? Be sure to write about them in the comments or send us your materials with photos under the heading "not a woman's business."
