Do-it-yourself voluminous round panels made of paper. We decorate the interior. Volumetric panels. "Delicious" compositions of dry berries and spices
Panels on the wall, their types and placement, preparation of the basis of the composition, the technique of its manufacture from various materials.
The main types of panels on the wall
Wall panels can vary in many ways:
- Anything can serve as a material: plastic and fabric, wood and cardboard, paper, wire and fur, postcards and photographs, buttons and yarn, mirror fragments and mosaics, branches, dry leaves and more.
- A performance technique using knitting, embossing, embroidery, woodcarving, gluing and inlay. At the same time, a decorative element can be an interweaving of lines and geometric shapes, an abstract image, or have a specific plot.
- A shape that can be of any size and geometry. Decorative wall panels are made in the form of ovals, polygons, curvilinear figures and often consist of several separate elements. Depending on the size of the picture, they can serve as the main accent of the interior or its decoration.
- The 3D effect, which is a new trend of the times in creating such compositions. It is difficult to make such a panel, but it is quite real. The three-dimensional effect in this case is achieved with the help of voluminous paper applications, various projections, etc. Applications can imitate bas-relief, high relief and unique carvings. Beautifully look "soft" three-dimensional panels with a pattern created using small wallpaper nails, equipped with decorative caps.
- Lighting, which makes the panel not only an element of decor, but also gives it practical properties. LED lighting allows, for example, to use the panel as a night light. Lighting level can be adjusted by the number of LED elements.
If you plan to make a mirror panel, it should be installed so that artificial or natural light falls on the surface of the picture. At the same time, reflected and diffused light will create visual harmony in the room.
Wall panels made of cardboard, cork and other improvised materials look great in free space. Therefore, it is not recommended to place such decor near other interior items, for example, shelves, photographs and paintings.
Preparatory work before making a wall panel
There are many options for making decorative panels on the walls of any room. Photos of finished products can be found in catalogs or you can develop your own project. To begin with, you can try to put the planned panel drawing on a sheet of paper. Having such a sketch, it will be easier to determine the future dimensions of the picture and the materials needed to create it.
If fabric is used as a decor, you can take a piece of plastic, a board, or any material that has a hard surface as a base. You need to stretch the fabric on the base, and fix its allowances on the back of the workpiece. The finished craft is installed in a frame, and then on the wall.
The fabric can also be stretched directly onto the frame, and the surface can be decorated with glued pieces of cork, coins or decorative paper elements.
Panels can be made without a frame. This will require a piece of drywall or plywood. The front part of the workpiece must be pasted over with foam rubber or padding polyester, and then the resulting “pillow” should be covered with a cloth. After that, the product can be decorated.
How to make a wall panel with your own hands
Below we will consider the process of making the most popular panels from various materials.
Wall panel of colored buttons
Each house probably has a jar or box, in which for several years buttons of different colors were folded: small and large, with holes or temples. If there are too many of them, a panel of such elements can easily decorate a wall that is familiar to the eye.
To make it, you will need a base, which can be a board, cardboard or fabric stretched over a frame, glue, carbon paper, buttons, a pencil, a selected drawing or your own imagination.
An original solution may be to create a “money tree” panel on the wall with your own hands: it is believed that it should bring prosperity to the house. Of course, it is better to make it from coins, but they are not green. Therefore, colored buttons for such a panel would be quite appropriate, especially since no one forbids arranging them in the same pattern with coins.
You can make such a panel like this:
- A drawing of a tree with a powerful trunk and a lush crown should be applied to the base.
- Choose brown and green buttons of various sizes and shades.
- The necessary places of the base must be smeared with glue and alternately stick buttons on them. Pasting should begin with a tree trunk, as it will be partially hidden under the crown. Buttons that imitate leaves must be glued, leading them to the trunk - the green "foliage" should hang down.
Dough wall panel
A suitable material for making panels is salt dough. It is well kneaded and lends itself to modeling. Unlike plasticine, dough can be dried to a firm and durable state. And if after that the stucco is varnished, it can be stored for centuries.
To prepare salty dough, you will need two cups of flour, a glass of fine salt, 125 ml of water and a tablespoon of dry wallpaper glue or skin care cream. Instead of the last two components, unrefined vegetable oil is often used.
High-quality dough should be elastic and dense, knead well and not stick to your hands. Its viscosity is adjusted by adding flour, and its stickiness is adjusted by oil. Dough can be colored with food coloring and flavored with turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices.
The panel is made in the following order:
- From the prepared dough, you should mold a picture or make separate fragments for it in the form of figures, which can then be assembled into a single composition. Its themes and details depend only on the imagination of the performer and his artistic taste.
- After completing the modeling, the panel must be sent for drying for an hour in the oven, the temperature of which should not exceed 80 degrees. Instead of an oven, you can use the heat of heating radiators, but in this case, the process will drag on for five days or more.
- The dried panel can be painted with watercolor, gouache or acrylic enamel. An additional layer of varnish applied to the surface of the painting will make it durable.
Wall panel made of nails and threads
Using ordinary threads and nails allows you to create truly amazing paintings for wall panels. For work, you will need a board that will serve as the basis of the composition, a lot of small nails, scissors and a hammer, adhesive tape, multi-colored threads and a pattern stencil that can be printed by finding it on the Internet.
The production of panels from nails and threads is carried out in the following sequence:
- First of all, you should cut out the stencil and fix it motionlessly on the board with adhesive tape.
- Then, along the contour of the drawing and its parts, you need to stuff the carnations, duplicating them with the location of the stencil detail. At the same time, the meaning of the drawing should be clear even if, after stuffing, the stencil is completely removed from the board. Its detailed outline with nails will help not to get confused in the future when highlighting fragments of the picture by wrapping threads of a certain color.
- After driving in the last nail, the stencil can be removed and work with yarn can begin. To do this, the end of the thread must be fixed on one of the carnations and the yarn must be wound on a specific area: for example, on a flower petal. The specific order in this work is not important. The main thing is to observe uniform winding of threads everywhere.
- In a similar way, each individual fragment of the pattern should be “painted over” with yarn.
Tile wall panel
Wall decor can be made from fragments of any tile: tiles, mosaics, mirror products and others. To work on the panel you will need: a base for sticking the material, pieces of different tiles, glue and additional decorative elements - corks, pebbles, beads, etc.
Further actions are performed in this order:
- It is necessary to pick up whole tiles of different types and additional decor. The tile into the desired fragments can be cut with a “grinder” or a tile cutter.
- The surface of the base of the future panel should be cleaned. It can be plywood, board or part of a drywall sheet.
- After cleaning or washing, the base surface must dry.
- Using transparent glue, the main fragments of the panel should be fixed on the basis. For the main layer of the coating, you need to use neutral shades of tiles to highlight the sophistication of the rest of the fragments of the tiled panel.
- Making a preliminary sketch can simplify the work. To do this, lay out all the decorative elements and mark them. After that, it will be possible to understand where and in what order each piece of tile should be glued.
- The composition can be additionally diversified with small details: shells, beads, pebbles that can be found at home or bought.
- After laying the tiles, grout the joints. The space between the elements of the panel must be filled with a special mastic using a rubber spatula. After that, the excess mastic must be carefully removed with a damp sponge and allowed to dry.
Wall photopanel
A unique author's decor can be obtained on the wall using photographs from a personal archive. When choosing them, it must be remembered that the photopanel should evoke only positive emotions. Therefore, it is not recommended to use photos depicting dead people or lost pets, which in the future will cause a constant feeling of depression. Much more appropriate in the panel will look like materials from the places of rest where you managed to visit, or pictures with a beautiful landscape.
It is not difficult to make panels from photographs. To do this, you need to buy a large glazed frame and fill it with memorable fragments from life. However, it will be even better to create a unique photo panel with an openwork pattern. For this, a special quilling technique is used (from the word quill "bird feather" in English), which does not require special expenses.
To work according to this technique, you will need: cardboard, scissors, five wooden slats, a can of white paint, PVA glue and four photo frames.
Using wooden slats, you need to make a frame, and then stick frames on it. After that, a pattern should be laid out between the frames, consisting of strips of paper twisted using the quilling technique. After finishing the design of the panel, its supporting structure should be painted from a spray can.
Mirror panel on the wall
To make a mirror panel, you need to go through several stages of work:
- Create a sketch with the required dimensions.
- Cut out the elements of the future panel from the mirror sheet and number them.
- The edges of the parts should be processed and laid in the right order on the plywood sheet.
- When creating a composition from fragments, its details should be glued on “liquid” nails.
- The mirror panel can be decorated with small mosaics laid in the form of a rectangle or rhombus.
- The surface for attaching a mirror composition to it must be perfectly smooth, otherwise the images may be distorted.
- The side edges of the picture should not coincide with the lines of the outer corners - a baguette or border should be provided.
- The boundary lines of the panel can be anything: straight, inclined, vertical, horizontal and round.
Bamboo wall panel
To make a bamboo panel, you just need to stick a plant on the wall in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction. In this way, you can decorate the head of the bed, allocate space for household appliances or lay out a winter garden in the living room. In addition, bamboo trunks often divide rooms, forming decorative columns, bar counters or partitions.
When making a bamboo panel in a wall niche, a number of requirements must be observed:
- The composition should not be placed near heating appliances.
- A certain humidity must be maintained in the room.
- To ventilate the plant from the inside, a small two-millimeter hole must be made in each vertebra of its trunk.
- Bamboo needs to be varnished in several layers.
Stone wall panel
To make a wall panel with your own hands, you can use natural stone. It can be granite or marble, although this mineral is fragile. Elements for panels are usually cut out according to a template. They are glued to a prepared polymer base or installed directly on the wall. The stone mosaic looks great.
Ceramic granite is suitable for wall panels. The composition is made using a small tile with a smooth surface and a side size of 1-2 cm. Rough tiles are usually used when installing floor panels.
Newspaper wall panel
Such a panel looks quite creative, especially since everyone can find the material for its manufacture. For work you will need newspapers or magazines, paint, scissors, glue and a clerical knife.
Further instructions are:
- Newspapers need to be cut into sheets.
- The resulting paper blanks should be twisted into tubes, fastening each of them with glue.
- Tubes must be painted in different colors.
- Alternating the multi-colored elements of the future panel, they need to be laid in a circle.
- There should be a lot of circles of different sizes.
- Then it is worth sewing a strong twine made circles with each other.
- Ready-made panels can decorate the walls.

We hope you figured out how to make a panel on the wall. Such work gives unimaginable scope for creativity. You can create any author's decor and decorate the room with your masterpiece. For many, this activity has become not only a pleasure, but also a permanent hobby. Good luck!
Any wall decoration after repair is boring, you want to change something and find a way to show your imagination, talent and creative skills.
A voluminous panel made from improvised materials is one of the fashion trends in 2017 design.
Looking through the spectacular work in the illustrations, it may seem that it is difficult. But if at school labor lessons the figures made of plasticine and salt dough turned out to be “excellent”, there is experience in working with beads or natural materials - everything will work out.
What material to choose for wall decoration
A handmade wall panel is a special decor that can enliven the most ordinary environment, introduce a new design concept and enliven the atmosphere.
The choice of material and technique to implement the idea depends on many factors:
- Functionality of the premises;
- Wall decoration;
- Creative inclinations;
- tastes and preferences;
- Availability of materials and tools;
- Skills in working with materials (sewing, knitting, modeling, weaving, drawing).
It is better to place a large panel on the entire wall in a large room, where there is a lot of empty space. Buying a picture or sticking a photo wallpaper is the easiest way. But there is nothing original in this, plus high costs, and the new facility will soon get bored.
Another thing is your own “masterpiece”, which you can proudly show 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 their 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 general idea and plot of the image should correspond to the functionality of the room and practicality in care.
For example, it is not difficult to paint aquarium fish on the wall of the bathroom on a smoothly painted wall, but the paint must be resistant and indelible.
If the material is subject to destruction or accumulation of dust, it is better to cover the finished product with a colorless varnish, like a photo panel of salt dough.
The paint base for the panel should match the material of the wall cladding. For example, if it is acrylic enamel, then acrylic paints are also suitable for painting walls.
The walls in the nursery can be decorated with a wallpaper panel, which is easy to build together with the child from the remnants of rolled materials left after the repair.
Tip: Give the kids some of the fun DIY decorating process. They willingly join the creative process. This will help develop fine motor skills of the fingers and spatial thinking.
Children can collect natural materials - beautiful twigs, leaves and cones for panels. If they don’t know how to draw, instruct the child to spray paint from a spray can on a stencil.
They will enthusiastically trace large maple leaves on cardboard, cut out their outlines in order to spray gold and silver outline drawing on the walls in the hallway. Spray paints and a stencil in the decor of any room are the best solution for those who cannot draw.
Panel of edible products for the kitchen
The kitchen is the realm of products, where many bulk materials are suitable for decoration. Before you make a panel with your own hands, make an audit in your lockers.
Note!
Novice decorators have at their disposal a whole natural palette that retains its natural color for years. A panel of coffee, cereals and spices will decorate a free wall fragment in the dining area.
The work is carried out in several stages:
- Choose your favorite sample.
- Make a sketch with your corrections and apply the markup with squares to enlarge the drawing on the wall when enlarged.
- Apply the markings and outlines of the panel with a simple pencil.
- Glue decorative fragments for a specific product.
- Finished sections should dry naturally, after which you can move on 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 family members.
Any "appetizing" materials are suitable for the kitchen:
- dried drunk tea leaves are black and brown contours of any drawing or soil in a picture;
- semolina is an excellent light base that can be additionally decorated, it also fills empty areas;
- coffee beans (green and roasted) - excellent material in brown and green tones;
- white and colored rice - a variety of sizes and shades;
- peas, beans, lentils and beans - white, yellow, orange, reddish and green fruits of various shapes, applied to the glue in halves;
- poppy - black base of the picture;
- instant coffee and chicory, cocoa powder and ground cinnamon - a loose base of brown shades;
- pumpkin, watermelon and cucumber seeds are excellent material for do-it-yourself panels, they are also glued in halves;
- cut or groats of millet, corn and wheat, oatmeal and barley - an inexpensive base of different colors and textures.
It is advisable to carefully open the finished panel with a colorless varnish in 2-3 layers, so that over time it can be easily cleaned of dust.
Note!
The image can be left as if unfinished or limited to a side (frame). Decorating a kitchen together is a fun activity that can easily involve three generations of family members.
Interesting ideas will be suggested by specialists 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 master the technique of working with salt dough.
For a relief panel, knead fine salt with flour 2: 1, adding a little vegetable oil, water and dry wallpaper glue, kneading like a regular dough. It should be plastic, but hard enough.
The finished mass should not stick to the 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 formed. It will hold up better if framed as a portable decor or attached directly to the kitchen wall.
Note!
You can add any other material to complete the plot, such as embroidered fabric, beads or yarn.
The relief picture dries for about a week, but then a solid durable material is obtained. The finished creation can be decorated and varnished, like a photo of the presented panel.
Expert advice on making panels from various materials
Making decor with your own hands is a fascinating creative process. Usually, after mastering one of the techniques on the example of decorating dough or cereals for the kitchen, I want to move on to decorating other rooms.
In the children's room, it would be appropriate to decorate with autumn leaves or colored paper panels made of fabric using the patchwork technique.
The bedroom of the needlewoman will be decorated with a panel of flowers, leather, fabric or buttons. A popular plot is a money tree, where coins or green coffee can be added to the buttons.
For a bathroom or bathroom, “marine” material will be an excellent decoration - smooth colored pebbles, shells and coral twigs.
The living room will be decorated with cork, bamboo, ornamental stone. In skillful hands, any material will become the basis for a homemade masterpiece.
DIY photo panels
Empty walls in the house do not look very comfortable - the rooms seem uninhabited, and the interior is unfinished.
But everything is easy to fix by decorating the decor with paintings or a unique do-it-yourself panel.
A decorative wall panel can be made from buttons, fabric, paper or salt dough. If there is no artistic gift, it’s not scary, any form can be drawn using all kinds of clichés.
Panel on the wall is quite simple to perform. Everyone can work together on its creation - both adults and children. A collective activity will unite family members, and the resulting creation will fill the house with harmony, comfort and love.
Salt dough panel
All children just love to sculpt something, whether it is plasticine or dough. The latter is an excellent material for creativity.
Modeling well develops manual dexterity and fine motor skills, and this is inextricably linked with the development of the child's speech.
To prepare salt dough, you will need very affordable ingredients:
- finely ground salt - 1 cup;
- wheat flour - 2 cups with a "slide";
- dry glue for wallpaper - 1 tablespoon;
- fat cream, for example for hands, - 1 tablespoon (can be replaced with vegetable oil);
- water - about 125 milliliters.
A properly prepared mass does not stick to the hands, it is springy and dense, it warms up perfectly. Also pay attention to the quality of wheat flour.
If the dough suddenly turns out to be too viscous, then you need to add a little flour, and if it sticks, a little oil. Sprinkle spices such as vanilla, cinnamon or nutmeg, get a mass with a pleasant aroma by adding food coloring - color.
After molding all the details and connecting them, put the panel to dry in a preheated oven at a temperature of 55-80 degrees for about one hour for small items. Maximum - 3 hours for large ones.
The second way is to put the dough in a cold oven, and only then turn it on at 150 degrees. This method is ideal for hardening small crafts.
The third way is drying on the battery, but in this case it will take at least 5 days.
The finished dry panel can be painted with any paint, even ordinary watercolor, if you want.
The idea of the panel, what details and colors are in it, you decide. What happens in the end depends only on your imagination.
When you cover the product with varnish, you can not worry about its safety - it will look perfect even after many years.
Textile panels
This type of panel can be made from any fabric that you find at home: satin, satin, silk, knitwear, felt and even burlap. You can embroider a panel of fabric on the wall with threads or ribbons.
Just hang the finished craft or insert it into any wooden frame. It's up to your taste.
Textile panels are of different types. Let's consider a few of them.
Patchwork panel
Prepare cardboard - the basis for the panel, pieces of fabric of different colors and threads. You can sew by hand, but the sewing machine will be much faster.
First you need to mark the future image on the cardboard and number it so as not to confuse the order of sewing on the flaps. When the base is ready, start laying the pieces of fabric in order.
Panel of felt
Such material as felt is very suitable for creating funny cartoon animals on the panel. This craft is one of the easiest, because you will need:
- any picture you like
- a large sheet of thick cardboard or fabric that will serve as the basis of the picture;
- a sheet of cardboard;
- simple pencil;
- felt;
- sharp scissors;
- glue;
The image that you have prepared is needed in order to make stencils for a future work out of cardboard. Next, using these stencils, we circle the patterns on the felt with a pencil.
And after that - we cut out and glue the figures on the panel, as the imagination dictates.
Burlap in a panel
Burlap is a fabric panel on the wall that looks quite unusual. But such a picture must be in a brightly decorated frame, otherwise it will not produce the desired effect.
The elements of the panel itself can also be made of burlap - ribbons, flowers or leaves.
If there are a lot of photos in your family archive, then you don’t have to torment yourself with the question of how to decorate the wall.
You can use travel reports or letters. The photo of the panel on the wall in the form of a heart looks very original.
Such a craft will fit perfectly into the interior of a bedroom or nursery, as well as a living room or a corridor.
You will need:
- Some photos;
- large thick cardboard;
- simple pencil;
- glue;
- stationery knife.
So, on the cardboard, draw the outline of the collage and cut it out. First, glue the photos along the contour of the heart, then fill in the empty space inside.
Wallpaper panel
When the renovation ends, there are a bunch of small pieces of wallpaper left. It is just from these bright remnants that you can build a picture.
A wall panel made of wallpaper, made with your own hands, will bring an unsurpassed flavor to any room.
For such a panel you need:
- foam baguette;
- wallpaper glue;
- acrylic paint;
- stationery knife;
- simple pencil;
- level;
- ruler;
- plumb.
Decide on the place where the panel will be located. After that, using a level and a plumb line, draw the outline of the future picture with a pencil.
With a utility knife, cut a few pieces from the foam baguette with 45-degree angles around the edges so that there is a seam.
Mirror panel
Currently, the popularity of mirror compositions is gaining momentum. Mirrors can be of different shapes and sizes, and can also be colored.
The mirror panel on the wall has become a favorite technique for designers. The picture - a combination of mirrors - will add uniqueness to any room. Each element of the product is highlighted with a frame or border.
Such an original panel can be bought in a set or made independently from several ordinary mirrors.
The main thing is that the composition looks holistic. Although the picture itself can be composed of individual elements.
Wooden panel
A picture made of such a natural material as wood forms a visual accent and brings comfort and warmth to the apartment. It can be placed in an office or living room.
When creating a panel, you can take beech, alder, birch or pine as the basis. This technology came to us from Thailand, where natural materials are now very popular.
To create a wood panel on the wall, you will need much more tools and strength, but it's worth it.
The desire to update a recently renovated, but already fed up kitchen interior, often visits many of us. One of the ways to bring bright touches to the interior without cardinal alterations, thereby breathing new life into the room, is to decorate a section of the wall with mural elements. A do-it-yourself panel is the very “highlight” that can reflect the character and preferences of the hostess of the kitchen, setting the atmosphere in the right way. What types of panels will look appropriate in the kitchen interior and how to make such an element of decor with your own hands, we will consider in more detail.
Some mistakenly believe that the panel is the same picture. In fact, the picture is a work of pictorial art. The panel does not have to be a masterpiece. It is intended only to act as a bright "spot", which acts as a finishing touch in the decoration of the kitchen, giving integrity to the look.
Panels - a stylish way to decorate the kitchen interior
Panels for the kitchen can have any shape and size. Depending on the material used, they are of several types:
- Fabric. Appliqués, embroideries on fabrics and tapestries can be mass-produced or hand-made.
- Graphic. Thematic images and reproductions of works of art are created using modern printing techniques.
- Wooden. Carved panels made of hardwood and coniferous wood are often complemented with semi-precious stone inlays.
- Ceramic. Mosaic paintings are laid out from small elements and fragments of ceramic tiles.
- Sculptural. They are mini-sculptures made of metal, textured plaster or ordinary plaster.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the handmade panels, which are made from a wide variety of materials: clay and salt dough, dried flowers and cereals, beads and sea shells.
To protect the surface of fragile materials that suffer from high humidity and temperature fluctuations in the kitchen, the compositions are coated with a transparent or tinted varnish of the selected shade.
The main thing to consider when choosing or making a decorative element with your own hands is that the kitchen is a functional room. All sorts of smells often hover in its space, and the smallest particles of edible fats settle on the walls. For this reason, decorative elements should be made of practical materials that can withstand moisture from frequent washing.
Accessory options
Wall panels are placed in those areas of the room that they want to visually highlight. It can be a work wall apron or a place near the dining table.
Carved panels look great in a classic interior
When designing a large kitchen, designers recommend using several elements of the same type from the same series, suspended on different walls of the room.
Tip: ceramic tiles mosaic paintings are resistant to moisture, and therefore it is better to use them to decorate the working area of the kitchen.
Ceramic panels, combined with other finishing materials, are able to create a unique interior.
When choosing a panel for the kitchen, it is important to consider its size. The walls of small kitchens should be decorated with small compositions. They will not attract too much attention to themselves, thereby visually reducing the space.
Leave large images for large kitchens. They can occupy a significant part of the wall, be built into niches and be decorated with lighting. Small paintings can easily be "lost" on the spacious wall of a large kitchen.
It will be interesting to look at the panel-blende with the image of a spiral staircase
A painted spiral staircase located in the corner of the room visually pushes the boundaries. To achieve the desired effect of creating the illusion of additional space, it is important to correctly fit the panel so that the staircase organically complements the interior, and does not look like an unnecessary element.
Decor for different interior styles
When arranging the kitchen interior, one should be guided by the rule: each room has its own look, pattern and size. The theme of decoration should match the style of the interior.
For kitchens decorated in a classic style, panels depicting ripe fruits and vegetables, alluring picturesque landscapes and reproductions of works by great artists are perfect.
A panel with fragrant coffee beans will cheer you up every time, reminding you of a pleasant meeting with friends.
Carved wooden and ceramic panels will organically fit into the interior of the kitchen, decorated in country or Provence style. These can be wall compositions using dried fruits, spices and flowers.
Panel for country style and Provence
A worthy addition to modern interiors such as hi-tech or minimalism will be dynamic pictures depicting evening cityscapes or unusual abstractions. Graphic panels in a minimalist strict frame will fit well here.
Kitchen panel for the interior in a modern style
Wall compositions made from old posters, yellowed pages of books and illustrations from magazines can emphasize the exquisite rigor and beauty of a loft-style kitchen.
It's hard to believe that such an original decoration is made from ordinary wine corks.
All sorts of collages, abstractions and landscapes are perfect for the dining area.
Modular compositions look interesting, in which the image is divided into several separate parts.
Images hung side by side create a single holistic picture.
Properly selected in terms of design and style, the panel can favorably emphasize the interior design, giving it its own “zest” and individuality.
Creating a still life from an eggshell
In contemporary art, the effect of artificial aging of the surface, called "crackle", is very popular. It is obtained by coating products with special spray paints or carquelure varnish. But you can create such an unusual effect with the help of an ordinary eggshell.
The convex surface of the crushed pieces allows you to create three-dimensional mosaics
The technique of making a decorative panel from an eggshell is not too difficult to perform, anyone can master it. It includes a number of main steps.
Selection of necessary materials
To make a bright and appetizing still life, you will need:
- 2 pieces of fibreboard;
- napkins or rice paper;
- peeled eggshell;
- transparent file A4 or A3 format;
- acrylic primer;
- decoupage glue;
- acrylic paints;
- PVA glue.
It is convenient to use hardboard as a solid basis for creating a composition. It holds its shape perfectly and has excellent moisture resistant properties. The size of the workpiece depends on the dimensions of the composition being created.
It is convenient to apply the image with a brush and foam rubber sponges
In advance, you need to prepare the shell from several eggs. Shells from both raw and boiled eggs of any shade are suitable for work. The shell removed from the eggs should be cleaned of traces of organic matter by removing the inner film and washing them in a soda solution.
Formation of egg crackle
Laying the blank cut out of the plate face up on a flat surface, cover it with a primer. Acrylic primer is conveniently applied with a foam sponge. So it is distributed more evenly, and dries faster.
The process of creating egg crackle is quite laborious. It takes the most time. Start spreading from the center or from the corner of the sheet, placing the eggshell with the convex side out.
On the workpiece area covered with PVA glue, lay out a small piece of eggshell and lightly press
When pressed with a finger or a toothpick, the shell will be covered with a network of cracks and break up into several pieces, covering part of the surface of the base. With the help of a match or a toothpick, move the pieces, giving them the desired position and filling the voids on the sheet.
Having covered the sheet with pieces of crushed eggshell, to give the surface strength, the product is covered with another layer of PVA
Pieces of the shell cover the entire surface. The base with the finished shell mosaic is left for 5-8 hours until completely dry.
Drawing an image
After the glue has completely dried, the workpiece is covered with acrylic primer and dried again.
To speed up the process, the surface can be dried with a hair dryer.
As an image for decoupage, you can use any beautiful multilayer napkin or printout taken from the network. Rice paper is excellent for these purposes, which can be easily purchased in specialized stores. When creating a panel, you can not take the entire pattern on the napkin, but only cut out a piece of the desired size from it.
Your task is to glue the napkin without wrinkles
To obtain a smooth, wrinkle-free surface, you need to put the top layer of the napkin on which the image is applied, face down on the file. The file is carefully applied to the dry workpiece so that the pattern takes the desired position. The applied fragment is leveled with fingers. Remove the file carefully.
The image is covered with decoupage glue
When the glue dries, only a couple of strokes remain: paint on some elements in the picture with paints, giving them greater expressiveness, and cover the panel with varnish.
Installations from improvised materials
Hand-made panels are a real author's work that can act as a worthy decoration of the interior and a source of pride for its owner.
Fabric "pictures" in patchwork technique
An elegant decoration of a kitchen in the style of shabby chic or Provence can be a textile panel using the patchwork technique. Wall compositions sewn from the remnants of fabric, which echo the design of furniture and windows, will harmoniously fit into the design of the room.
Original compositions from textile accessories
To make such a panel on a sheet of paper, you need to draw a full-sized sketch. Then, from separate paper sheets, make patterns of drawing elements for appliqué. After making sure that the sizes match, the patterns are transferred to fabric cuts. Having laid out the elements of the application on the basis, they are adjusted to each other, carefully fastening with pins.
Threads for fabric appliqués are selected to match, or a contrasting contour is made
When using figures in a composition to give volumetric forms, they are stuffed with the remnants of a thin synthetic winterizer. The composed composition is glued or sewn to the base.
On a patchwork panel, pockets for small items and hooks for towels will look appropriate.
To create a functional composition, a “picture” made of fabric can be supplemented with capacious pockets for storing kitchen accessories.
"Delicious" compositions of dry berries and spices
The use of dried flowers, fruits, nuts and fragrant spices is a trendy theme.
To create a composition, you will need a frame with a substrate and the contents of your lockers. Feel free to use:
- coffee beans;
- citrus fruits;
- cinnamon sticks;
- dried flower heads;
- nuts and beans;
- any kind of cereals;
- even bagels and bagels.
The process of creating a composition is quite simple. A piece of cardboard, the size of which corresponds to the size of the frame, is covered with burlap or any other selected fabric. The material is fixed on the base, fixing it with nails or “planting” it on hot melt adhesive.
Large compositional elements are laid out on the front side of the fabric, choosing the most attractive arrangement option: a common pattern or an ornament from individual mini-paintings.
Having determined for themselves what the finished composition will look like, the materials laid out on the canvas are alternately lifted above the base and, after applying the glue, they are laid out in their original place. You can hang the "picture" on a regular cord, or attach it to a metal surface using magnets.
Any materials at hand can serve as the basis for the manufacture of luxurious installations: yellowed atlases, bottle caps, cutlery ... The choice is limited only by the style direction of the kitchen interior and your imagination.
Video master class: three-dimensional panels for the kitchen
There is no more functional room in the apartment than the kitchen. Here they cook, receive guests, meet the morning with a cup of coffee and make tea before going to bed. It does not always work out to make this room stylish and comfortable, since large sums of money are needed for this. A do-it-yourself panel can become a wonderful and inexpensive decoration - this is the very thing for the kitchen.
Panel - a picture made with paints or three-dimensional elements. For the kitchen, it has a special use - behind it you can hide the repair error. The best hostess cannot always save her workplace from cracks, grease stains, and drips. If your goal is to hide some kind of problem, then the size of the panel is chosen based on the scale of the problem.
If the task is simply to decorate the room, then the choice already depends on the size of the kitchen. A huge picture on the entire wall will not fit miniature rooms, and one small application will be lost against the backdrop of a large space. Pick something in between.
A universal option is small paired panels. Moreover, there can be more than two of them, but always one subject. The kitchen is decorated with triptychs - three paintings that continue each other.
Interesting: the panel can not only decorate the kitchen, but also divide it into functional zones. Above the coffee table - images and photos with mugs, and near the work surfaces - various fruits and vegetables.
Subject selection
In the kitchen, it is important that the details match the design concept. The panel should decorate, stand out, match the color scheme, style and functionality of the room.
Don't worry if the kitchen doesn't have a specific theme or style, then you can "set the tone" with decorative pieces.
Materials for creating a panel
In fact, panels are created from anything! The main thing here is to take into account the relevance of the plot and not overload the image. It must also be remembered that many materials absorb odors, so compositions from them are not placed near the stoves.
To create a panel for the kitchen with your own hands, any kitchen utensils (spoons, plates, cups), spices, magazines, photos, fabric scraps, threads, bottle caps, paper and various little things can be suitable. The main thing is inspiration and evening to create a masterpiece.
Panel of prints of fruits and vegetables
Even a child can create this image, and your creation will look just wonderful.
Need:
- hard fruits or vegetables (apples, pears, citrus fruits, Chinese cabbage);
- paint (oil, acrylic, gouache);
- base (canvas, wooden board, cardboard).
Everything is done simply: pour the paint into a plate, cut the fruit into halves, dip it in paint and make a stamp on a pre-painted and degreased surface. The color can be chosen according to the color scheme of the room.
You can make prints anywhere on the canvas, but symmetrical images look better.
Beautiful and functional
If there are wine corks or cork coverings lying around at home, then create a small board on which you can cling notes, recipes, or photos.
To create a panel of corks you need:
Cut the corks lengthwise, glue the halves onto the base. If you want to use the cork on the other side, then it is important to cut it into equal parts.
Horizontally, vertically, with a pattern - you can lay it out as you like, the main thing is to cover the entire base. The panel can be framed or hung on the wall without a frame. You can attach notes, photos, recipes, a picture and little things to it using pushpins.
New life for old kitchen utensils
Do-it-yourself panels for the kitchen can be made even from unnecessary forks, spoons, scoops and pans. The idea can be easily realized with cutlery, a base, paints and glue. If you are not sure that the composition will hold well on the glue, then use small nails.
The basis for the panel can be anything, but it is important that it can withstand the weight of all the details that you want to attach to it.
Images and inscriptions with threads
Designers have been actively using the String Art technique for a long time. It does not require special skills, but with threads you can create a designer panel in an evening.
Required:
At the beginning, a drawing is applied to the base. You can choose any, but for the kitchen the ideal options are inscriptions, mugs, cups, fruits. You need to choose an image with clear outer lines.
After the drawing is transferred to the base, it is necessary to drive nails along the line at a distance of 0.5 - 2 cm from each other. For convenience and so that all the nails are on the same level, it is better to hold them with pliers.
When the nails are hammered, you need to take a skein of thread, and tie the end to one of them. The thread is hooked in all places in a certain sequence or in random order. If the pattern is round, it is better to move from one edge to the other. Do not pull the thread too tight - it may break.
Tip: if you don’t like the color of the base, then apply a layer of paint. Do not do more than 2-3 layers: when you hammer in nails, cracks will appear.
Cooking panels for the kitchen
Salt dough creates beautiful and voluminous paintings. It is easy to prepare, dries quickly, paint fits well on it, and most importantly, anything is created from it. It is better to cover the finished product with a colorless varnish so that it lasts for a long time. It is important to think in advance how you will attach the panel to the wall - make a hole or insert a hook.
For salt dough you need:
- 200 gr flour;
- 200 gr salt;
- Water.
Mix everything, add water for the desired consistency. During the manufacture of the panel, keep the dough in a closed bag, store for up to two days.
The finished mixture replaces conventional clay. The product is dried in the oven, or at room temperature. You can color the finished panel or the dough itself with a dye.
Volumetric still lifes, various flowers, fruits are suitable for the kitchen. They are glued to the base or ready-made plates are made from them, as in the photo.
If modeling is not your forte, then create small panels with prints of plants. If desired, they are decorated, decorated with ribbons and threads.
Glue + base
Traditionally, in the kitchen, coffee, pasta and cereals are used to create panels. It is not always cheap and far from original.
If you want to create an unusual panel, and not just a picture of pasta, then use other materials: dried fruits, spices, nuts, buttons, broken dishes, bottle caps. They are laid out in random order or adhering to the selected pattern / pattern.
The main thing is that the material used is hard and durable, the base is strong, and the glue is quick-drying and reliable.
Pallet Jewelry
Pallets today are a popular material for needlework. They make a lot of them: furniture, shelves, walls, gazebos. They are also suitable for kitchen decor.
Important: before decorating pallets, the surface is carefully polished with a special machine or sandpaper, all elements are degreased and dried.
Pallets make original small shelves for plates or photos. They will successfully fit into the Provence interior, suitable for apartments and summer country kitchens.
If you insert pots with plants into them, then a hanging flower stand will come out. Plants that hang from the structure look perfect.
Pallets are also used as a canvas for drawings - for example, as in this photo.
soft details
The kitchen is associated with comfort and warmth, so fabric panels will decorate such a room.
And even small pieces of material will do. The scraps are cut into equal pieces and sewn using the patchwork technique. The finished product is stretched onto the canvas or loops are made on top and the finished panel is hung on a wooden stick or a miniature cornice.
So sew and textile mugs, attach to the wall individually or together on the same surface.
Compositions from dishes
If there are unnecessary plates lying around at home, then they are suitable for creating an original panel for the kitchen with your own hands.
You will need:
- 3-5 plates;
- paint for ceramics;
- glue;
- printed images.
A common pattern is created on several plates. It is arranged according to the type of triptych paintings, where together the canvases create one picture, or 3-4 separate drawings of the same subject.
The image is applied manually or using the decoupage technique. For the latter, you need to print the image in advance on thin paper or buy special sheets for decoupage. Arrange the image on previously fat-free and dry plates. Apply PVA glue to the dishes in a thick layer, and tightly attach the printed pattern on top. Then apply another thin layer of glue on top of the paper.
When everything dries, cut off the excess, varnish the plates.
Tip: to facilitate the construction together of ceramic dishes, use disposable paper.
A panel can be made from anything, but for the kitchen it is important that the materials are easy to wash and do not absorb odors. This must be taken into account when choosing those decorations that will be placed near work surfaces and stoves.
What exactly you want to hang in the kitchen depends on your personal preferences, design features and desires.
