When we install artificial grass at home we are excited about the new vision we have of our yard or garden. The bright green color brings joy, tranquility and natural ambiance.
However, a question arises: what do we do with the remaining grass that we don’t use?
To avoid throwing it away, we can recycle it and put it to good use by making crafts with artificial turf. Let’s see some ideas.
Designing our artificial grass tablecloth
An easy idea is to turn leftover scraps into an attractive tablecloth for a table.
We are not talking about covering the whole table, just a part of it.
You can define a round center if you have a round table or you can put a strip from end to end if it is rectangular in shape.
You will only need measuring tape, box cutter, scissors and a marker pen.
This type of artificial grass crafts are very useful for decorating a summer terrace table or a table on the patio.
In addition, you can always decorate the whole set with other elements that complement the decoration.
Green carpets and mats
The soft and pleasant touch of artificial turf makes it ideal to be used as a carpet.
The measurements will depend on the width and length of the room and what we have left over from the installation.
It would be nice to achieve a proper proportion in which the carpet is neither too small nor too extravagant.
The doormat is another interesting alternative.
You can exploit all your creativity to obtain a wide diversity of designs.
It will be very original to create a doormat with a different shape, for example a heart, or one in the shape of a bone, some prefer those that simulate the head of a bear and the more traditional ones opt for the rectangular format.
In any case it is very nice that the first impression of the house is a grass doormat in a cheerful and vibrant green.
Door lettering and wall covering
Putting our name or a special word on the door of our room is a very good idea, but it will be much better and more original if we do it with the remains of artificial turf.
Its appearance is not only eye-catching and beautiful, but also fun.
You can cut out letters of different sizes and types, and you can also add flowers or other decorative elements that give more life to the design.
Nothing better to hide unwanted holes in the wall or to completely change the look of our room than to cover a wall with artificial turf.
This idea would be for small walls, because for large walls we would not be able to do it with leftover pieces.
We hang one end of the artificial turf on top and, making sure that we fix it well, we then fix it underneath.
Remember to make precise cuts when working with the leftover pieces to ensure a beautiful finish.
Having plants in the room would match the new wall.
Now you can create your own designs with the ideas we have explained.
Recycle and give life to your home.
And if you have other ideas for crafting with artificial turf scraps, we’d love for you to share them with all of us.
