Once upon a time, she washed out difficult stains, giving freshness and cleanliness to her favorite things. She heated the water herself, diluted soap solution and worked for hours on trousers, blouses, tablecloths and bed linen. She worked tirelessly when a baby appeared in the house, and was an indispensable housekeeper.
But then you began to notice how she was getting old - she could no longer turn the drum quietly, as before, but did it with noise and grinding, began to let water through and, in the end, stopped forever. She was sent to the loggia to wait for the movers to arrive, but she could have done a lot more good.
And if you also store an old washing machine, you will probably find the advice of our forum members useful on how to give it a second life.
1.Grill, barbecue, smokehouse
No home or cottage is complete without cozy gatherings over barbecue. From an old drum washing machine can make an excellent barbecue, grill, stand for a cauldron or home smokehouse. Thanks to the steel body, this part is not afraid of hot coals and open fire.
Forum member BeerZip knows how to transform washing drum to the grill.
BeerZip:
– This is done like this: the lower segment is cut out (if using the example of a dial, then somewhere between 17 and 19 o’clock). A hole is made in the side cover (where the mounting bearing is) where the motor from the spit is inserted gas stove or any other suitable one (can be bought at household goods stores). The tank is placed on the coals, the chicken is placed on a spit, the motor is turned on - and after 40 minutes the delicious golden brown chicken is ready.
Here is a member of our forum Sgres At the dacha he prefers to cook pilaf. From the drum old typewriter he built a stand for a heavy cauldron.
Forum member Tuljak1 I adapted a Soviet washing machine discarded by a neighbor into a cauldron. He cut holes in the tank and body for the ash pan and for storing firewood, as well as for the pipe. Installed the grates and doors. All his costs are 40 rubles for hinges for doors. Here's what happened:
Another option for using the old washing machine- convert it into a smokehouse, as the forum members did elf And colobus. One of the smokehouses was designed like this: a burner from an electric stove was installed at the bottom of the tank from a Soviet typewriter, an old frying pan with aspen chips was placed on it, and on top there was a mesh with smoking products and a lid. Another smokehouse, instead of a burner, was equipped with a hearth and a pipe.
If desired, you can make a barbecue from the drum of a washing machine. According to forum members, this homemade unit much more durable than store-bought analogues and does not burn out, thanks to the significant thickness of the steel.
2.Washstand, Summer shower and a water tank for the bath
The old washing machine will continue to be the guardian of cleanliness if you turn it into a summer shower, under which it is so nice to soak up on a hot day after working in the garden beds. To get a shower with 60 liters of water, a participant Tower_j connected two tanks from Soviet washing machines. To do this, he cut off the bottom of one tank and inserted it tightly into the other, increasing the height of the walls. A forum member welded the support for the tank from pieces of reinforcement. And so that the sun would heat the water better, the walls of the tank were covered with black paint.
Also, an old washing machine tank can be easily converted into a washbasin.
And here is a forum member usef I made a water heater out of a tank.
– I slightly enlarged the hole in the tank and inserted a heater with a thermostat there, cut a thread on the drain pipe and screwed on the valve.
3.Concrete mixer
If you plan to pour paths on a site or make a foundation for a fence, it will be difficult for you to do without a concrete mixer. But if you are not starting a full-scale construction project, it makes no sense to buy expensive equipment in a store to use it once.
A homemade homemade concrete mixer, both manual and electric, can be made from the body of an outdated washing machine. To do this, the old activator located at the bottom must be replaced with a shaft of a suitable size, and metal brackets with rotated symmetrical blades must be screwed inside the tank. And, of course, equip the unit with a metal frame with wheels.
4. Garden cart
Our forum members are cunning at making things up. Participant alemurov tells how to make a garden wheelbarrow from the body of a washing machine.
alemurov:
– One wheel at the front is attached to the ends of two handles. At the back there is a stop. Simple and angry.
5. Flowerpot
An old washing machine tank can become a decoration for your garden if you turn it into an original flowerpot. Participant of our forum Mila47 gave the tank from an automatic machine a texture using polyurethane foam, then painted and covered with three layers of yacht varnish. Here's what she came up with:
According to a forum member, the flowerpot calmly overwintered outside without losing a bit of attractiveness.
To prevent tulips, daffodils and lilies from being damaged by rodents, dig a washing machine bin into the ground and plant bulbous plants in it. Thanks to the perforation, moisture will not linger in the tank and will go into the ground.
6.Home furniture
Designers from the Lebanese studio Junk Munkez have created a series of bright ottomans, the frames for which were the drums of washing machines. First they thoroughly cleaned and sanded them metal surface and then covered with enamel. The holes in the drums served as a canvas on which the designers embroidered patterns with threads. A soft satin pillow on top - and a wonderful ottoman in ethnic style is ready! Inside the ottoman you can store magazines or other necessary little things.
If you place strong glass on top of the washing machine drum, you will get Coffee table ik. If desired, the table can be made with colored lighting. It will look especially impressive in the dark.
7. Floor lamp and pendant chandelier
By slightly changing the color and texture of the washing machine drum and placing it on a tripod, you can surprise your guests with an unusual floor lamp. Designers cover the painted metal base with bright fabrics, carpeted, decorate it with wine corks. Such a floor lamp will no longer be found in any living room, although... it is possible that friends will want to copy your masterpiece.
The ensemble for an unusual floor lamp will be a pendant chandelier from an old drum - you just need to add a wire with a socket and screw in a light bulb.
Create beautiful and practical things for your home with your own hands, and the advice of our forum members will help you with this. And if you are wondering what to do with an old refrigerator, read.
Homemade products from a washing machine engine (video collection, photos, diagrams)
1. How to connect a motor from an old washing machine through or without a capacitor
Not all washing motors will work with a capacitor.
There are 2 main types of engines:
- with capacitor start (always on capacitor)
- with start relay.
As a rule, “capacitor” motors have three winding terminals, a power of 100 -120 W and a speed of 2700 - 2850 (centrifuge motors for washing machines).
And motors with a “start relay” have 4 outputs, a power of 180 W and a speed of 1370 - 1450 (washing machine activator drive)
Connecting a "capacitor" motor through the start button may result in loss of power.
And using a permanently switched capacitor in a motor designed for a starting relay can lead to burnout of the windings!
2. Homemade emery from a washing machine motor
Today we will talk about converting an asynchronous electric motor from a washing machine into a generator. In general, I have been interested in this issue for a long time, but there was no particular desire to remake the electric motor, since at that time I did not see the scope of application of the generator. Since the beginning of the year, work has been going on new model ski lift. Having your own lift is a good thing, but skiing with music is much more fun, so I quickly came up with the idea of making such a generator so that in winter on the slope I could use it to charge the battery.
I had three electric motors from the washing machine, and two of them were absolutely working. I decided to convert one of these asynchronous electric motors into a generator.
Looking ahead a little, I will say that the idea is not mine and not new. I will only describe the process of converting an asynchronous electric motor into a generator.
The basis was taken from an electric motor of a washing machine with a power of 180 Watts produced in China in the early 90s of the last century.
I ordered magnets from NPK Magnets and Systems LLC, I had already bought magnets during construction before wind farm. Neodymium magnets, magnet size 20x10x5. The cost of 32 pieces of magnets with delivery is 1240 rubles.
The alteration of the rotor consisted of removing the core layer (deepening). Neodymium magnets will be installed in the resulting recess. First, 2 mm of the core was removed on a lathe - the protrusion above the side cheeks. Then a 5 mm recess was made for the neodymium magnets. The result of the rotor modification can be seen in the photograph.
Having measured the circumference of the resulting rotor, we made necessary calculations, after which a strip template was made from tin. Using a template, the rotor was divided into equal parts. Neodymium magnets will then be glued between the risks.
8 magnets were used per pole. There are a total of 4 poles on the rotor. Using a compass and marker, all magnets were labeled for convenience. The magnets were glued to the rotor with “Superglue”. I will say that this is a painstaking task. The magnets are very strong, I had to hold them tightly when gluing. There were times when magnets came off, pinched fingers, and glue flew into my eyes. Therefore, you need to use safety glasses when gluing magnets.
I decided to fill the cavity between the magnets with epoxy resin. To do this, the rotor with magnets was wrapped in several layers of paper. The paper is secured with tape. The ends are covered with plasticine for additional sealing. A hole is cut in the shell. A neck is made of plasticine around the hole. Epoxy resin was poured into the shell hole.
After hardening epoxy resin, the shell has been removed. The rotor is clamped into the chuck drilling machine for further processing. Grinding was carried out sandpaper medium grit.
There were 4 wires coming out of the electric motor. I found a working winding and cut off the wires from the starting winding. I installed new bearings because the old ones were a bit stiff to rotate. The bolts that tighten the body are also new.
The rectifier is assembled using D242 diodes; the “SOLAR” controller, purchased a few years ago on Ebay, is used as a charging controller.
Tests of the generator can be seen in the video.
To charge the battery, 3-5 revolutions of the generator are enough. At maximum speed of the drill, it was possible to squeeze 273 Volts out of the generator. Alas, the sticking is quite significant, so there is no point in installing such a generator on a windmill. Unless the windmill will have a large propeller or gearbox.
The generator will be located on the ski lift. Tests in field conditions already this winter.

If your old automatic washing machine is broken, do not rush to throw it away. Even with a burnt-out engine, some of its parts may be useful to you. Believe me You can assemble many useful things from individual parts of the device: smokehouse, barbecue, concrete mixer, grinder, a juicer, a small table, a sterilizer, an outdoor shower, a washstand, a water tank, a cart and even a flower vase. Let's take a practical look at what can be done from an old washing machine.
Drum grill
A barbecue is an extremely popular item for our people. But finding a high-quality product or raw materials for its manufacture is quite difficult. This is where non-standard methods, ingenuity and an old automatic machine will come to the rescue.
The drum material will easily withstand high temperature, so it can serve as a barbecue for many years.
For the future barbecue, you will need to remove the drum from the apparatus. It is made of stainless steel, so it doesn’t mind rain and snow. Top part, one might say, is already ready, all that remains is to attach the legs to it. Small diameter pipes, fittings, rods or corners can be used as support. Pipes and angles are bolted immediately, but the fittings will have to be welded first. This is very easy to do: mark the location of the legs on the drum, cut the material required length, then drill holes in the drum and legs, and then bolt the parts.
Do not use angles, plates or pipes that are too thin. Minimum thickness metal should be 2 mm. Otherwise, such a structure will quickly burn out or bend from high temperature.
To connect the legs and drum, be sure to use at least 2 bolts per support. Bolts 6 mm in diameter are quite sufficient for these purposes. The grill is ready. Now, if desired, it can be disassembled and reassembled (by unscrewing the legs from the drum). The product will not take up much space and will last long years, but it costs mere pennies.
Homemade grill
Making a grill is similar to making a barbecue, but in addition you will have to buy a small motor and make a slot in the tank. So, take the tank and cut a segment in it from the bottom a quarter or a little less. Then make a hole in the side cover (where the mounting bearing is located) and place the motor there. To prepare your dishes you need to put the chicken on a spit and place the tank on the coals, and then turn on the motor.
If you need a smokehouse, then you don’t need to buy an expensive model for this; make it yourself from the drum of an automatic machine, or even better, from a Soviet washing machine.
From the drum of a modern automatic machine you can construct a mobile smokehouse. To do this, you need to plug all the holes around the circumference. For example, a thin steel sheet. Secure it to the drum with bolts or weld it to the body. Also arrange the door (it’s easier if you use a drum from a machine with vertical loading, there is already such a door there). You need to make a hole at the top for the smoke to escape., and place a grate inside on which the products will be smoked.
Some craftsmen made an original smokehouse from old Soviet washing machines. An electric burner is mounted on the bottom of the apparatus, on which a frying pan with aspen chips is placed. A mesh is installed at the top of the tank and food is placed on it. The structure is closed on top with a lid.
Sharpening machine from a washing machine motor
If you still have a washing machine motor in working condition, do not rush to get rid of it. It will find application as a sharpening machine. Moreover, to create such a device you will need a minimum of costs.
The electric motor in the automatic machine is quite powerful, so it is more than enough for a sharpening or small sawing machine.
First, make an attachment on the shaft to secure the grinding wheel there (such a “neck” will also be useful if the machine is used for cutting plastic or metal pipes, fittings, sheets, corners). An ordinary board is used as a sole. large section. To attach the engine to it, select metal brackets. They can be secured using bolts. The power cord can be taken from the same machine.
The advantages of this design are mobility. The machine can be moved to any location. It can be used both in the garage and outside. And by changing attachments you can not only grind, polish, but also saw or cut any materials.
To create a concrete mixer, you will only need an old Soviet washing machine, like the Donbass model; automatic machines, unfortunately, are not suitable. The manufacturing process itself is quite complex, labor-intensive and will require you to have some metalworking skills and engineering knowledge.
The easiest way is to make a concrete mixer in which concrete will be mixed using a propeller. So, you need to replace the activator with a fan assembled from two U-shaped plates. For the blades it is better to use thick metal strips (about 4-5 mm in thickness).
To make the blades, first cut 2 identical strips. Choose the dimensions so that the propeller fits and can spin freely in the tank of the future concrete mixer. Bend the plates so that they are turned to each other at an angle of 90 degrees.
The finished “mixer” for concrete needs to be mounted on the shaft from the activator. Here you will need welding machine . If the standard shaft is not enough, you will have to build it up using a thick metal rod.
Older machines have a drain hole at the bottom of the tank. To prevent concrete from flowing through it, plug the hole.
The next stage is engine selection. For small volumes, you don’t need to change it; the standard one will suffice. But if you will be mixing more than 15 liters of concrete, then it is better to install a more powerful kilowatt engine.
When buying an electric motor, choose one with less rotation speed per minute. Even 1000 revolutions for a concrete mixer is a lot. Therefore, you will have to additionally install a speed reduction gearbox. Calculate the gearbox parameters so that the propeller revolutions are about 25-30 per minute. You are unlikely to be able to make a gearbox yourself without a machine.. Therefore, it is better to order it from some factory. As a last resort, you can use sprockets and a chain from a bicycle.
It is more efficient to mix concrete using a concrete mixer in which the drum itself rotates. But making it at home is extremely difficult.
Juicer
It is better to make such a device from an old Soviet machine with a centrifuge, where the activator is located at the bottom. Making a juicer from the drum of an automatic washing machine is very difficult. So take it old equipment, remove the activator. Instead, you need to make knives that will rotate on the shaft of the washing machine.
The knives are made of strip steel. Cut three even rectangular strips of the same size. Make a hole in the center of each to fit them onto the shaft. Each of the knives needs to be sharpened.
After making the knives, cut a thread on the shaft, take a few nuts and washers. Place the knives on the shaft one by one, securing them with nuts. Install two washers in front of the first blade, and two nuts after the last blade. When the knives are installed, plug the drain hole. The first part of the juicer is ready.
In the centrifuge you only need to install a mesh of thin wire(thickness 0.2 mm and size of one cell 1.5x1.5 mm). The mesh should cover the side of the centrifuge.
Before using the product, it is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the washing machine tank and knives.
Using this juicer is quite simple. Turn on the engine, add a portion of pure fruit. Give the blades time to grind some of the food (15-20 minutes is enough). Then turn off the engine and place the crushed particles in a centrifuge, which will squeeze the juice out of the chopped mass.
Some parts of the old typewriter are used as furniture parts. Yes, you can do it unusual table from the drum. To make it you will need steel rods and a round or square tabletop made of glass or wood. It all depends on your ideas about the future table model. The rods need to be fixed in the drum, and threads should be cut on top of them, after which the tabletop should be installed.
If you use a glass tabletop, then use LED lighting. A table with it will look much more impressive.
You can also build an ottoman using a tank. You need to secure a pillow on top. Paint the drum itself in any color.
Another original solution- floor lamp. You will need a drum and a tripod. Paint the drum bright color or cover with fabric. Then install the socket with the light bulb inside and secure it to the tripod. You won't find a floor lamp like this anywhere else.
Another way out is to do hanging chandelier from the washing machine drum. You just need to secure the light bulb sockets inside and remove the wires. Exterior design- according to your preference.
Manufacturing of feather removal machine
Such a device will be useful for those who live in their own home and keep chickens. First make a steel disk that will be installed at the bottom of the machine's tank. The thickness should be within 3 mm, and the diameter should be slightly less than the diameter of the tank. You need to drill holes in the disk and insert rubber pins.
You will have to buy pins or “fingers”. They are quite expensive - about 2 dollars for one. 130 such elements are needed.
After acquiring the fingers, secure them to the disk. Now you need to make holes for the strikers in the side walls of the tank. Step back about 15 cm from the bottom of the tank and drill holes in a circle. The interval between the holes should be 3-4 cm. After this, mount the disk on the shaft - the feather removal machine is ready.
Finally
The methods listed above are only a small part of the advice on non-standard use of spare parts from an old washing machine. Experiment and create own inventions . The tank of a Soviet washing machine can easily make a washbasin, the front panel of the machine will make a window or door to a dog house, the body will make an original cabinet for accessories, the drum will make a flowerpot.
What do they usually do with an outdated one? household appliances? There can be many options here. Some people simply take the old unit to the nearest garbage container, others to the country house or garage, in the hope that “maybe it will come in handy.” You can also contact a company specializing in the removal of large equipment - such organizations can be found in any big city hundreds.
However, there is another way to solve the problem, which many people somehow forget about. Old, irreparable household appliances can be donated new life. Craftsmen make original and functional things out of non-working refrigerators, electric stoves and washing machines. In this article we will tell you what crafts you can make from an old washing machine. Don’t rush to get rid of your out-of-order assistant; let her benefit you in her new incarnation.
What spare parts can be used?
A washing machine is a complex device consisting of huge amount elements, most of which can be put to useful use.
- Almost any spare part can be used, from the sealed housing to the drum. Most often, the following spare parts are used for crafts:
- engine (motor) - if it is in good condition, it can form the basis of a new device;
- drum - high-quality metal is always useful in the household;
- hatch door - impact-resistant glass is also a useful thing in everyday life;
- body - you can come up with some interesting uses for this part; various small parts: springs, counterweights, clamps, bearings, electric wires - all this will work for different economic needs
, especially in capable hands.
Concrete mixer From an old cylindrical washing machine, which is popularly called a “barrel,” you can make a compact concrete mixer and use it for household needs
. This device is quite complex, so in order to make it you need to have at least basic knowledge of electrical engineering and plumbing. First, you need to remove the activator from the washing machine. Instead, we will install blades that will mix the concrete. The blades need to be cut and welded from a metal sheet (it is best if it is steel). The blades must have U-shape
Next, we weld the blades to the shaft in the place where the activator was previously located. After that we need to decide whether we will leave old engine or we'll make a new one. If you plan to mix small portions of the solution, then you do not need to change the engine. If the portion volume is large enough, it is more advisable to install a more powerful engine. Also, do not forget to install a gearbox instead of a belt drive, which will reduce the speed and increase the torque.
Juicer
Another useful household appliance that you can convert your washing machine into is a juicer. True, it will turn out to be very large and will take up a lot of space. Only older models of semi-automatic washing machines with an activator motor are suitable for conversion into a juicer.
The principle of operation will be the same as in the previous case: we take out the activator and put in its place self-made knives that will chop fruits and vegetables. The knives must be sharp, so do not forget to sharpen them before installation.
Next, you need to work on the shaft: we apply threads to it, put on knives, and fix them with suitable fasteners. After this, we seal the drain and place it inside the centrifuge. metal mesh with small cells. First, the raw materials will be ground in a tank, and then squeezed out in a centrifuge.
Sterilizer for preservation
An irreplaceable thing in the country is a sterilizer for jars. You will be surprised, but it can also be made from a washing machine. The process of preparing jam and pickles will become faster, because in such a unit you can sterilize several jars at once.
So, to make a sterilizer from an unnecessary washing machine, you need:
- put a plug in the activator hole;
- install a support on the bottom;
- Place a metal mesh for jars on the support;
- drill a hole in the tank for the boiler;
- connect a 2 kV boiler.
Grinder
If the washing machine motor is in good working order, you can use it to make a knife sharpening machine and garden tools. In addition to the engine itself, we will need a grinding wheel. In addition, prepare a base for the machine - a thick wooden die is perfect for this purpose.
An adapter must be placed on the shaft, on which the grinding and cutting wheels. The machine will be attached to the base using two pairs of metal brackets. The switch for the device can be borrowed from the same washing machine.
If you plan to use the machine for cutting, you can also install a trimming wheel on it.
Feather removal machine
A feather removal machine is a device that allows you to quickly pluck carcasses poultry. If you raise chickens, ducks, turkeys or other birds, this device will be very useful to you. True, to make it yourself, you will have to spend money. Basic equipment: Rubber feather fingers are quite expensive. In addition, each type of bird needs “fingers” different diameters, since feather size can vary significantly between breeds.
Operating procedure:
- we make a steel disc (thickness – 0.3 cm, diameter – minus 1 cm from the diameter of the tank);
- drill holes in the disk for the “fingers” (the distance between them should be approximately 3 cm);
- we drill the same holes on the sides of the tank, retreating 15 cm from the bottom;
- install the disk with the “fingers” inserted into it onto the shaft;
- We insert the pen removal fingers into the holes drilled in the tank.
To see how the feather removal machine works, see the following video.
Ideas for a summer residence
Where do unnecessary things usually go? Of course, to the dacha. Surely most of us have an old washing machine collecting dust in the attic or shed. Instead of cluttering up space with them, the unit can be adapted for some household needs and made, for example, a washbasin.
Let's consider other options.
Brazier
It is not known who was the first to think of making a barbecue out of a washing machine drum, but this idea was quickly picked up by many summer residents. The idea is indeed a good one - the grill turns out to be durable, convenient and compact. For the production of drums, high-quality metal is used, which tolerates moisture well, temperature changes and is not susceptible to corrosion.
The drum must be removed from the tank and installed on the legs. For these purposes, you can use metal rods or thin, durable pipes - some of these will probably be found on summer cottage. A suitable piece of metal must be cut into equal parts, and then carefully welded to the bottom of the drum.
You can see a barbecue that can be made from an old washing machine in the next video.
Grill
To cook delicious meat outdoors, you can use not only a barbecue, but also a grill. It can also be made from a washing machine (namely, from its tank), but for this you will have to purchase a motor of suitable size and power.
You need to cut a small piece from the bottom of the tank - its dimensions should be ¼ or slightly less than the entire size of the tank. Then, in the side part - where the drum bearing was located - drill a hole into which you can then install the motor. The grill will be heated by coals, and the spit will rotate using a motor.
Smokehouse
We must not forget about another incredibly tasty method of preparing meat and fish - hot smoking. A device that allows you to smoke in your summer cottage can also be made from spare parts from an unnecessary washing machine.
The basis of our smokehouse will be the drum. First, you need to plug all the holes in it. You can boil them, but it will be faster to wrap the drum thin metal sheet. You need to cut a door in the drum (if you use a top-loading washing machine, then the door in in the right place already available).
We cut or drill a hole in the top of the tank through which the smoke will escape. For meat, we install a metal grid inside the tank.
Furniture from spare parts
For those who don't need homemade equipment and cooking utensils, it is advisable to use parts of a disassembled washing machine for manufacturing original furniture or storage space. Best for implementation design ideas body and drum fit. Read below to learn how you can refresh your interior using an old washing machine.
Coffee table
You can make an unusual high-tech coffee table from the drum of an old washing machine. Thanks to the features source material it will be very durable, but lightweight, and will serve you for many years.
We take the drum from an automatic washing machine as the basis of the table; To make the product look more impressive, we will add shine to it using a special cleaning agent. As a tabletop, take a piece of suitable diameter tempered glass. We fix it on the drum using long fasteners. The table is ready!
If your household appliances are broken, do not rush to throw them away - many useful things can be made from their parts, even fashionable furniture. We will offer many original options, what you can make from parts of an old washing machine with your own hands.
For example, barbecue

Grinding and cutting machine
Give a second life to the electric motor household appliances quite simple - its power is quite enough to make a sharpening machine. Difficulties for home handyman there is nothing special here: fasten the motor housing on a strong wooden base (a piece of board will do), connect the start and stop button, make an adapter attachment on the shaft where the grinding or cutting wheel will be attached.
Sealed door
The loading hatch door can be adapted for a window in wooden log house- looks unique and is actually practical. To do this, you just need to cut out the door along with part of the front panel of the household appliance - an original porthole is ready that fits into almost any interior.
Door to the dog kennel
If you live in a private sector in own home, and there is a shaggy guard in the yard, then you can insert a door from a typewriter into his booth, through which very coldy he will see everything, but will be in a warmer room. With the help of such a homemade product, you can isolate the formidable watchman when guests arrive - he sees everyone, but is not able to bite or tear clothes.
We must remember that the hatch is sealed, so make side holes to ventilate the booth.
Coffee table
Using a drum from of stainless steel with an abundance of perforations, you can change the interior of your apartment beyond recognition: make a unique coffee table in fashionable style hi-tech. You can decorate it with internal lighting from an LED garland to save energy - it’s simple, but it looks original and very unusual.
This is not difficult to do: you just need to attach a few steel pins to the drum body. Attach a plexiglass table top or MDF boards. A piece of furniture made in this way will decorate the interior of your living room.
Unique poufs
Fantasy has no limits - with a certain skill and imagination, you can make various poufs from a drum for a children's room. We take a colored pillow and cut out a square of the same size from chipboard, then use a stapler to secure the pillow to the square.
We attach the halves of the card loop to the chipboard and the outer wall of the drum using self-tapping screws and self-tapping screws, paint the side surface of the drum with bright paint - a unique pouf with a hinged lid is ready, and inside children can store small toys and things.
Such original poufs made of stainless metal will last for many years, when children grow up, they can be covered with discreet fabric and placed in the living room.
Lampshade for the nursery
To completely change the interior of a children's room using an original homemade lampshade from a drum from an old washing machine, you need to do the following:
From any non-flammable, non-conducting material (textolite, ebonite) we make a circle half the size of the drum diameter;
Then we cut out a hole for the cartridge and connection wire;
Insert the cartridge into the prepared hole, secure the circle to back wall drum, bring the wire out;
We screw three special hooks into the ceiling, as shown in the photo;
We attach special cables to the drum body on which the entire structure will hang;
We hang the assembled structure;
We connect the wire from the chandelier to the terminals of the socket;
We screw the light bulb through the receiving hole of the drum - everything is ready.
To dim the light and create a fabulous interior, you can attach multi-colored light fabric to the walls inside.
Flowerbed
You can also make a unique flowerpot, decorating the sides with fragments ceramic tiles different designs-beautiful and unusual.
