What material to choose for wall decoration
Handmade wall panel is a special decor that can revive the most ordinary surroundings, introduce a new design concept and revitalize the atmosphere.
The choice of material and technique for translating the idea depends on many factors:
- Functional premises;
- Wall decoration;
- Creative inclinations;
- Tastes and preferences;
- Availability of materials and tools;
- Skills of working with materials (sewing, knitting, sculpting, weaving, drawing).
A large panel on the entire wall is best placed in a large room, where there is a lot of empty space. The easiest way to buy a picture or to put on a wall mural. But this is nothing original, plus big expenses, and the new facility will soon get tired.
Another thing is our own “masterpiece”, which can be proudly demonstrated to all visitors to the house.
Looking at a unique work, friends and relatives will be interested in how to make such a panel with your own hands?
First, it is better to choose a free wall, and then decide what it will be - a collage of photos, drawing, modeling or a mosaic of broken tiles. The overall concept and plot of the image should correspond to the functionality of the room and the practicality of care.
For example, it is not difficult to draw aquarium fish on the bathroom wall on a smoothly painted wall, but the paint should be resistant and indelible.
If the material is subject to destruction or accumulation of dust, it is better to cover the finished product with colorless varnish, as a photo panel from salt dough.
The base of the paint for the panel should be suitable for the wall covering material. For example, if it is acrylic enamel, then acrylic paints are also suitable for painting walls.
Walls in the nursery can be decorated with a mural of wallpaper, which is easy to build with the child from the remnants of roll materials left after repair.
Tip: Challenge the children to part of the fun process of creating home-made decor. They willingly join the creative process. This will help the development of fine motor skills of fingers and spatial thinking.
Children can collect natural materials - beautiful twigs, leaves and cones for panels. If you do not know how to draw - instruct the child to spray paint from a spray can on a stencil.
They will enthusiastically circle large maple leaves on cardboard, cut their outlines to spray on the walls in the hallway a contour drawing of gold and silver paint. Spray paints and stencil in the decor of any room - the best solution for those who can not draw.
Panel of edible products for the kitchen
The kitchen is the patrimony of products, where many bulk materials are suitable for decoration. Before you make a panel with your own hands, do a revision in your lockers.
Note!
Beginning decorators have at their disposal a whole natural palette that preserves its natural color for years. A panel of coffee, cereals and spices will decorate a free fragment of the wall in the dining area.
The work is carried out in several stages:
- Choose your favorite sample.
- Make a sketch with your corrections and mark the squares to enlarge the picture on the wall when zoomed.
- Mark and outline the panel with a simple pencil.
- Process glue decor fragments for a specific product.
- Finished areas should dry naturally, after which you can go to neighboring elements until the whole picture is completed.
Tip: In order to avoid disagreements, it is recommended to coordinate the plot of the panel with all members of the family.
For the kitchen, any “mouth-watering” materials are suitable:
- dried drunk gulls are black and brown contours of any pattern or soil in the picture;
- semolina - an excellent light foundation that can be further decorated, it also fills empty areas;
- coffee beans (green and roasted) - an excellent material for brown and green tones;
- white and color rice - a variety of size and shades;
- peas, beans, lentils and beans - white, yellow, orange, reddish and green fruits of various shapes, applied to glue in halves;
- poppy - the black base of the picture;
- instant coffee and chicory, cocoa powder and ground cinnamon - loose base of brown shades;
- pumpkin, watermelon and cucumber seeds are an excellent material for panels with their own hands, they are also glued in halves;
- chopped or groats of millet, corn and wheat, oatmeal and pearl barley - an inexpensive basis of different colors and textures.
It is advisable to carefully open the finished panel with colorless varnish in 2-3 layers, so that over time it is easy to clean from dust.
Note!
The image can be left as it were incomplete or limited to a side (frame). Joint decoration of the kitchen is an interesting activity in which it is easy to involve family members of three generations.
Interesting ideas will be prompted by experts who recorded a master class on making panels with their own hands:
Those who are good at sculpting figures, small sculptures or making dolls from any material should learn the technique of working with salt dough.
For a relief panel, fine salt is mixed with flour 2: 1, adding a little vegetable oil, water and dry glue for wallpaper, kneading like regular dough. It should be ductile, but hard enough.
The finished mass should not stick to your hands. Small pieces or balls are separated from it, from which the faces of the characters, fruits, leaves and other elements of the panel are decorated. It will hold better if fastened to a frame in the form of a portable decor or attached directly to the kitchen wall.
Note!
You can add any other material to complete the plot, for example, embroidered fabric, beads or yarn.
The relief pattern dries for about a week, but then it turns out solid durable material. The finished creation can be decorated and varnished, as a photo of the presented panel.
