Crafts from plywood: a master class on creating your own products, the advantages of the material + original craft options for beginners

Advantages of material selection

Plywood sheets are produced by pressing wood shavings. For this reason, like solid wood, plywood is a fairly durable and natural material.

Due to its natural origin, the structure does not emit toxins or allergens. Due to the small thickness of the sheets produced for wounds, the material is easy to work with (just use a jigsaw).

Crafts made from plywood with your own hands have an undoubted advantage:

Stylish look.
An excellent preparation for subsequent decoration.
Particular strength.
Safety for humans, in particular for children.
An extensive collection of drawings for crafts made from plywood (for working with a jigsaw).

With optimal treatment with antiseptics, antipyretics and moisture-resistant compounds, the maximum possible service life of the product can be achieved.

The advantages also include a wide selection of ready-made drawings, diagrams, step-by-step instructions and video tutorials on working with plywood. Easy plywood crafts can be found on web resources for practical creativity for beginners.

Decorative partitions for zoning space in a room, apartment or office

Another interesting plywood product is decorative partitions for zoning space in a room, apartment or office. You can find a client and order a partition from our collection, which includes over 70 designs, or offer him your own design. Next, order the canvas from us, paint it and install it yourself. This work is in demand among customers and pays well. We produce decorative partitions of any complexity - solid or composite, any size, any shape, with or without lighting, single-layer or multi-layer, with or without inlay.

Features of working with the material

Any material, regardless of its quality composition, has a number of operating features. Plywood was no exception. When doing creative activities, especially with children, you should adhere to a number of rules:

All cuts must be sanded to prevent possible injuries.
For fastening, you can use screws, metal corners, making special grooves or wood glue.
The surface of plywood is excellent for any decoration method: painting, stencil painting, priming, staining and acrylic varnish.
It is better to use special impregnation with an antiseptic, antipyretic and other recommended compounds to prevent the development of fungal colonies, dampness, and rotting.
All products require the use of a high-quality drawing, which you can prepare yourself or use ready-made projects.
Crafts from plywood are cut out with a jigsaw or a sharp knife if there is difficulty.

Plywood sheets are lightweight, so all manufactured structures should be further strengthened (for example, large doll houses, key holders, book shelves, coffee tables).

Shelving and cabinets

Plywood shelving and cabinets with a modular design are gaining popularity. They are not assembled into a single structure, which we have long been accustomed to, but are literally built from individual elements. The assembly principle is similar to playing with children's blocks. Easy and fun. The number of design and layout options is approaching infinity, and assembly turns from uninteresting and hard work into an interesting game.

Customers of modular furniture are creative youth, fans of European minimalism, families who love to live in constantly changing interiors! This category of clients pays attention to how practical and environmentally friendly the furniture is. Interesting ideas in this direction are being developed from birch or coniferous plywood. It is environmentally friendly. Fits harmoniously into the interiors of modern homes. Pleasant to the touch. Plywood has a pleasant natural smell.

Materials and tools for work

First of all, the master should take care of the proper organization of his workplace, sufficient lighting and rational arrangement of all small parts, fasteners, and tools.

The room for making crafts must be equipped with high-quality ventilation, which will provide sufficient air flow while working with paints and varnishes.

You will also need the following set of tools:

Jigsaw.
Files.
Sandpaper.
Construction pencil and tape measure.
Acrylic varnish, stain, decorative paints.
Fasteners (screws, self-tapping screws, nails, metal corners).

Wood glue can be used. You should prepare drawings of future plywood crafts, photos, and video instructions for carrying out independent work.

Advertising stands and displays

ECO POSM is a series of original POS materials for advanced marketing communications at points of sale. A rather complex product made of plywood, the development of which will require design and drawing skills. The topic of organic products and goods is very relevant now. POS materials made of plywood, such as advertising stands or displays, reveal this topic like nothing better.

Master classes on making crafts

The process of making various accessories is quite simple to perform. The entire sequence of actions can be represented in the form of a diagram: printing out a drawing, cutting out fun crafts with a jigsaw, decor.

Plywood wall clock

A homemade clock for the living room, made entirely of plywood, has a very original decor. Such watches will not perform a practical function, performing only an aesthetic role. To work, you will need plywood, impregnation and decoration compounds, a jigsaw, a construction pencil and tape measure, and wood glue.

Instructions on how to make an interesting craft with your own hands from plywood:

On a sheet of basic working material, mark with a pencil the main panel of the clock, hands and dial details.
Use a jigsaw and a sharp knife (in hard-to-reach places) to cut out all the elements.
Sharp edges are carefully polished so that there are no nicks or cuts left.
The product is impregnated with antiseptic, antipyretic and moisture-resistant compounds, thus ensuring long-term and safe operation.
Cover with paints and acrylic varnish.

To attach numbers, use glue or screws with minimal threads. The hands are fixed strictly in the center (you can use wood glue), choosing any time on the clock. A similar plywood craft can become an original exhibit for a kindergarten.

The master has the opportunity to decorate such a craft at his own discretion, creating a sea theme, a starry night theme, fairy-tale characters or animation themes.

Carved lampshade for night light

The traditional lampshade for a children's night light can be replaced with an original carved accessory. The work will require certain skill and experience, but even a novice master has the opportunity to familiarize himself with the author’s projects.

You can always watch a series of video tutorials or use stencils to cut out ornamental details, or find drawings of DIY plywood crafts when working with a jigsaw.

Instructions for the master:

The master needs to prepare four main panels that will have the same dimensions and the shape of truncated triangles.
On each panel, mark (with a construction pencil strictly on the reverse side) the edges of the frame and the details of the ornament. If you lack artistic skills, you should use stencils, the choice of which is very extensive today.
The next step is to start cutting out the elements of the design of the craft with a jigsaw.
Sharp knives and files are used in the work. The edges of the cuts are carefully polished. Drawings for cutting out crafts from plywood with a jigsaw are a good example.
After finishing cutting out the pattern, they begin to impregnate the product with antiseptic and antifungal compounds. The more thoroughly the treatment is carried out, the safer it will be to use the new lampshade.
Decorating each prepared panel precedes the assembly of the lampshade. The sides can be painted in any color or left a natural shade, covering the accessory only with acrylic varnish.

The lampshade for the night light is assembled in two ways. The sides are connected along the outer contour using screws. Additional fastening can be done along the internal contour with metal brackets or corners.

Construction formwork

Well, this is an idea for serious people. Plywood is very popular in construction. Used for the production of formwork panels for reusable formwork and disposable formwork components for small private construction. In monolithic construction, formwork panels are used to form the formwork of the entire building - floors, walls, etc. We produce formwork panels and have considerable experience. We offer very good discounts for large volumes of plywood milling.

Key holder for the hallway

An interesting option for DIY work is a key holder craft, cut out of plywood with a jigsaw. This product not only has a beautiful design, but also serves a practical role. The keys will always be in a visible place, preventing the risk of losing a key in the apartment. To work, you will need a sheet of plywood, a set of metal hooks, compositions for impregnating the accessory, and compositions for decoration. Mounting hardware and hooks can be purchased at any hardware store. Drawings for simple plywood crafts can always be found in the public domain.

Instructions for operation:

Preliminary markings are made on a sheet of plywood, drawing the outline of any selected shape. Modern key holders can look like a clock, a house, an open book or another artistic image.
Using a jigsaw, cut out the base image strictly along the contour.
The key holder may have additional sides. If they are provided for by the selected product model, you should also cut out parts for the sides.
Measure the diameter of the purchased hooks.
Several holes are made in the main panel using an awl or other sharp tool.
Next, they impregnate the future key holder with special compounds.
The plywood base is decorated (painting, opening with acrylic varnish, wood burning or decorative carving).

Alphabet letters for learning

Letters of the alphabet can be either with built-in magnets or for desktop learning. The structure and properties of plywood make it possible to produce excellent educational material that can attract the attention of a child.

Particular attention is paid to the quality of cut cuts and decorative finishing of each letter. After all, only bright images and graceful forms can interest a child for further learning.

Instructions on how to make an interesting craft from plywood with your own hands:

It is better for the master to use ready-made samples or templates of letters. Today, thanks to web resources for practical creativity, every parent can find ready-made sketches and layouts for cutting out letters in various formats (italics, traditional sizes and shapes).
Future details of the interactive educational material are drawn on a plywood sheet using templates.
Use a jigsaw and a sharp knife to cut out letters for the craft in hard-to-reach places.
Subject all parts to pre-impregnation with antiseptic compounds.
Decorate the surface of each letter, avoiding the use of small parts and harmful paints.

If desired, you can complete the work at this stage. However, a more interesting way is to make an alphabet with built-in magnets. The child gets a unique opportunity to operate with the received material, to compose words, syllables, and phrases.

The learning process will captivate the student as new opportunities arise. To create original letters, a small magnet should be mounted on the back of the parts.

Dollhouse for girls

This material is perfect for making a dollhouse with full interior decoration and full height. Instructions on how to make DIY plywood crafts for children:

First of all, measurements of the future structure are taken.
The size, presence and location of all windows, doors, stairs, floors and interior elements are displayed on paper.
On sheets of base material, draw a sketch of each detail using a construction pencil.
All elements of the future structure are cut out.
Like all manufactured accessories, this structure is also subject to pre-processing. The house should not become a source of development of pathogenic fungus that poses a danger to the child’s health.
The sections are polished, trying not to leave any nicks.
The structure can be assembled in different ways: using fastening fittings, wood glue or specially prepared grooves.

Stairs, windows and doors can also be presented in several variations: made of plywood, ready-made parts from toy sets (plastic elements from old construction sets or toys).

Crafts made from basic material and fiberboard are distinguished by a wide choice, style, practicality and ease of execution. Wooden crafts, the ornaments of which are cut out with a jigsaw, also have a special decor.
