Nowadays, coconut, or as it is commonly called coconut, is no longer an exotic and rare delicacy; it is easy to buy everywhere. Its hard outer layer is like a shell, and the inner mass of white light is the core. Coconut husks are often used for a variety of crafts, from buttons to tableware. But we found another use for it. We decided to make a cute glass - a stand for pens, pencils, etc.
Before you begin, you need to pour out the liquid contained in the fruit. There are 3 indentations on top of the coconut; you need to make holes in them and pour out the coconut milk, without opening the entire nut.
For production you will need: a hand drill, a hacksaw for metal, a long bolt and a nut of suitable diameter and two washers, and the coconut itself.

Saw off the third part, the top of the coconut, and use a regular kitchen knife to remove the coconut flesh.

In the middle of the sawn-off top, use a drill to drill a hole with a diameter similar to the diameter of the bolt.

We take the bolt, put on one of the washers and insert it into the hole inside the larger part of the coconut.

We put the upper part of the coconut on the bolt, put a washer on the side of the stand and tighten the nut tightly. At the end of these simple manipulations, you should get such a stable, functional, and most importantly exotic pen stand.

The stand can be additionally decorated with inscriptions, artificial flowers, butterflies, or can be left in its original form.

A little earlier there was a post about how you can make a stylized box house with your own hands for a teddy bear using the production of metal parts. This is a rather labor-intensive process that requires additional skills and special tools for metal processing. And I promised that there would be a simplified master class for those who want to make a box with their own hands. It's time to keep your promise.) Now everything is quite simple. The material for the craft is my favorite coconut shell. It’s simple, of course, but you still have to put in some effort to make a box with your own hands. The choice of nut and its preparation - cutting out the sector - is the same as for a box with metal; I described this process in detail HERE. I won’t repeat myself, let’s move on.

I will only dwell on this point: the nuts are quite “hairy”, you can make a box from such a nut, for example, these box houses are just like that. But if you want to refine it a little...

I recently discovered a new material at hand - coconut shells. Coconut crafts attract me with their accessibility and decorativeness.

Some time ago I was really into making teddy bears. According to all the rules, with cotter pins, tinting, even with closing/opening eyes (my author’s development, perhaps someday, if necessary, I will share it with my readers). And, even at the stage of creating the image, I always imagined a new bear in my own house - well, how is it possible for such a cute bear to be on the street? It is clear and understandable that the new owners are happy to put their human den at his disposal, but their home is, whatever one may say, their home. And nothing can replace it. Therefore, the conclusion is obvious: each resident must build a separate house according to his taste.

One day I gave birth to a baby bear with very thoughtful eyes, a gentle and defenseless creature. Therefore, I made the house for her especially cozy and strong - from a shell...

For the first time, I saw cradles for dolls made from coconut shells (they are called nuts, although in fact they are not nuts, but drupes) at the Waldorf school where my children study. And when I asked my husband to help make the first cradle, there was no stopping - they began to appear in our house one after another. Firstly, children really like them - just think, a crib made of real walnut and even made by yourself! Secondly, in this case the coconut is used completely, without waste: the shell (peel) is used for a doll’s crib and children’s crafts, coconut water quenches thirst, coconut oil nourishes hair, skim milk is added to the pancake dough, coconut shavings are added to the dough for cookies... So many things from one single nut! So, to make a coconut cradle:

Useful tips

Considered one of the most used trees in the world, the coconut palm is a vital part of many South Asian and tropical cultures. Its fruits have incredible properties and are used for a variety of purposes, primarily in cooking.

A group of scientists recently discovered that coconuts and coir palms are used for 360 purposes these days. We would like to share the most common uses of this product, some of which may seem quite surprising.

1) Style icon

Coconut shell is an extremely interesting material that can be transformed into a wide variety of household items in the hands of a skilled craftsman. In this article we will talk about how to make crafts from coconut with your own hands. Photos of unique creations will be presented below.

Coconut saucepan

In fact, you can make a variety of crafts from coconut. The main thing is to show your imagination. One of the simplest solutions is to create a saucepan from such a shell.

For the above purpose, you need to choose a large, symmetrical coconut. The top needs to be cut off. It is convenient to do this with a hacksaw, since the shell is quite hard. Alternatively, you can use a jigsaw. There is no need to throw away the top. After all, in the future it will play the role of a saucepan lid.

It is necessary to thoroughly remove all the pulp from the coconut. Next, its inside needs to be thoroughly dried. The walls should be cleaned with coarse-grained sandpaper and later polished with fine-grained sandpaper.

You need to cut out the side handles of the saucepan from wood. The latter can be attached to the shell using superglue or mounted on small bolts by drilling appropriate holes in the walls of the coconut. Similar operations must be done with the lid of the saucepan.

Wineglass

What other crafts can you make from coconut with your own hands at home? Making a glass from a shell looks like a fairly simple task. To do this, you need to pick up the smallest size coconut in the store. Cut off the top from it. Then you should clean out the pulp. To make the glass stable, the cut top needs to be glued from below to the main part of the man-made container.

Candle

Let's look at simple DIY coconut crafts (photo). It will not be difficult for children to make an original candle from a shell. To cope with the task, you need to cut the coconut in half and clean out its inside. The outer walls of the shell can be polished and varnished, or left as is.

Next, you need to select a large candle, divide it into several parts and carefully remove the wick. The wax must be heated and melted inside the coconut halves. During the work, you need to hold the previously obtained wick in the central part of the improvised container.

That's it, the candle is ready and you can use it. The main thing is to wait until the wax completely hardens in the shell. Finally, you can decorate the walls of the shell with a pattern or some small accessories.

Flower pot

What crafts can you make from coconut with your own hands for the kindergarten? It will be easy for children, as well as their parents, to make a pot for indoor plants. Work must be performed in the following sequence:

• choose a large coconut;
• split the shell in half using a hacksaw or jigsaw;
• clean out the pulp;
• drill holes along the edge of the shell half in 3-4 places;
• pass a strong one through the resulting holes, connecting its ends at the top.

At the final stage, you can start filling the man-made pot with soil. Next, all that remains is to plant the plant in the resulting container and hang the product in any convenient place.

Lamp

Let's continue talking about coconut crafts. An interesting idea is to create a lampshade from a shell. This will require imagination, drawing, polishing and carving skills.

To make an original lamp, it is enough to choose a coconut of the correct, round shape. It must be carefully cut in half and then cleaned out all the pulp. Next, you should rub and polish the inner and outer surfaces of the shell. It is recommended to treat the resulting blanks with varnish, which will give the finished lamp an attractive appearance.

In one half of the future coconut craft, you need to cut a round hole, the size of which corresponds to the parameters of the base of the light bulb used. Then you should draw any pattern of your choice on the surfaces of the shell. It is desirable that it be made of thin lines. The latter will act as a contour along which you need to drill equidistant holes with a thin drill. Thus, when the light bulb is turned on, light will pass through the holes, which will “draw” the previously depicted pattern on the walls of the room.

Next, you need to insert the base with the light bulb into the shell and fix it in any convenient way. You need to solder an electrical wire to the base, at the end of which there is a plug. Finally, just glue the halves of the coconut together and connect the lamp to the network.

House for aquarium inhabitants

Next, I would like to consider crafts made from coconut for an aquarium. The shell of a large fruit must be cut in half. One of the parts can be thrown away. The remaining half should be cleared of pulp. Next, use a wood saw to make cuts along the edges of the shell. Place a jigsaw here and cut out part of the shell in the form of a semicircle. In this way, you can get a hole, which will subsequently serve as an entrance for fish or crustaceans that inhabit the aquarium.

Finally, all that remains is to treat the coconut against rotting. To do this, the product must be boiled several times in a pan of salted water, draining it periodically. As soon as the water stops being colored, the coconut house can be immersed in the aquarium. After some time, the inhabitants of the artificial reservoir will begin to inhabit the shell.

Bracelet

An excellent option for crafts made from coconut would be a bracelet. It's easy to make. You just need to cut the ring out of the shell so that your wrist fits snugly into it. The sharp edges of the resulting product need to be smoothed and sanded for convenience. This can be done using sandpaper. The surface of the bracelet should be decorated by gluing beads and other small accessories onto it. If desired, the product can be carved.

Handbag

There are several ways to create a unique handbag from a shell. First, let's consider the option of making a flat product. To implement the idea, you need to cut off two tops of the same size from the shell. Along the edges of the latter you should drill holes where you need to sew a zipper. Finally, it is enough to attach handles made of decorative rope or any other material of your choice to the shell. That's all you need to do to create a miniature handbag for the summer.

As for the second method, similar steps should be performed here, with the only difference being that the coconut shell must be divided in half into two equal parts. It is also worth drilling holes along the edges of the resulting blanks for attaching the zipper. If desired, lacing can be used to connect the shell halves.

Finally

As you can see, a whole host of decorative or practical crafts can be made from coconut shells. To give the resulting products an attractive appearance, their surface can be wrapped in fabric, treated with patterned thread or cord, and beads, seed beads, and other accessories used in needlework can be glued on. Crafts made from both unshelled coconut and polished shells with all kinds of designs and carved motifs look attractive.

Coconut shell is a natural material infinitely amazing in its capabilities. Skilled craftsmen create a wide variety of decorative and household items from it: lamps, vases, bowls, candlesticks, figurines. Original jewelry is also made from the shell, from earrings to bracelets, and even buttons.

And there are also quite unusual objects - what can you say, for example, about a coconut bag or headphones?


Lovers of natural materials should love flower pots made from coconuts. This fruit is quite durable and reliable as a material. These pots are ideal for succulents and cacti, as they do not require frequent watering.


Using one coconut, some string, hot glue and a metal file, you can make a stylish pen and pencil holder.

The simplest thing you can create with your own hands from a coconut is a candlestick. By the way, using the same principle, you can make a bowl or pencil holder. Cut off the top of a coconut or saw it in half, and glue a leg cut from wood to the bottom with epoxy glue, or, more organically, another (smaller) part of the nut. The edges on top can be left smooth, or you can give them a decorative unevenness with pliers or cut them out like a flower - in a word, as your imagination dictates.


Or you can throw an exotic party for your friends and serve delicious cocktails or cool drinks in coconut shell halves.

And if you have a daughter, then you should pay attention to pendants made from coconut shells. Your little fashionista will definitely appreciate this decoration!

Children's imagination can suggest many unexpected solutions!

Some more interesting ideas.

An excellent option for crafts made from coconut would be a bracelet. It's easy to make. You just need to cut the ring out of the shell so that your wrist fits snugly into it. The sharp edges of the resulting product need to be smoothed and sanded for convenience. This can be done using sandpaper. Such a bracelet can perfectly complement earrings made from the same coconut shell.
