Do-it-yourself decorative panel on the wall +75 photos
A house is a place where you want to feel as comfortable as possible. There are various ways to make it even more comfortable. But it is especially nice when the decor elements are made by yourself. Decorative panels in the interior always attract admiring glances, and it will not be difficult to make them from improvised materials, if the technology is correctly followed and step by step and according to the instructions.
The panel is an element of decor and its purpose is to decorate the interior and fill in the empty space on the walls or ceiling. Sounds very much like a picture description, doesn't it? How does it differ from the picture if both versions of the decor are designed to decorate the room? The answer is simple: a picture is a subject of painting, and a panel can consist of anything. Dough, plastic, plaster, beads, fabric, wood - there is no limit to imagination when it comes to making panels and the material for the decor can be anything. If there is a desire to make your interior unique, then the panel will do it perfectly!
Scope of work
The first step in creating a wall panel is to decide on the design of the future product. If it is already known in what place it will be located, then this complicates the task. It is necessary to weigh the color scheme, the dimensions that it will have, whether the material from which it is planned to fit into the overall picture of the interior.
So, we determine: size, color scheme and what materials will be used. This is the first step. If possible, then you should draw a sketch of the planned product. This will help to take into account all the nuances in the execution of the task.
If a piece of cardboard, canvas or any other hard surface is taken as the basis, then markings are made on it: where and how the decor elements will be located. If the base is fabric, then it is stretched to the base (for example, a piece of plywood, board or plastic), and the rest of the fabric is fixed on the back. After the work is done, it is placed in a frame and hanged on the wall.
There is another option for the manufacture of panels on a fabric basis. You will need to take a solid base, for example, a gypsum board of the right size and stick foam rubber to it. The fabric is pulled onto the resulting soft base. In this case, you can do without a frame.
After all preparations, you can proceed to the main part of the manufacture: decoration.
DIY panel views
Consider the main types used in the decoration:
Fabric
These are all variants of embroidery, appliqués and tapestry techniques that are made on fabric. The technique of execution can be anything: from manual embroidery to machine made by mass production.
Stone
Often made in mosaic technique. Natural stones that are considered noble are used: basalt, marble and others. Less often in such products there is also an artificial stone.
Made of ceramic
They are made using ceramic tiles and are usually placed in the bathroom or kitchen.
Sculptural
Volumetric version of the product, which is made of special plaster, gypsum or metal.
Graphic
All that is done using various types of printing. It can be reproductions of paintings, photo printing.
Other types
Here are handmade products that are made using any improvised materials. Salty dough, wood, dried flowers and plants, shells, clay, beads - there is no limit to imagination for decoration.
Here are examples of the manufacture of various types of panels:
From prints of fruits and vegetables
When creating this panel, a child can also participate, since it is very simple to perform. The bright, colorful design of this creation is ideal for the kitchen.
For manufacturing you will need:
Hard vegetables or fruits (it can be apples, any citrus fruits, pears, cabbage, etc.);
Paint (gouache, oil, acrylic);
The basis on which to decorate. It can be cardboard, board, fabric, stretched on a sheet of drywall.
The surface of the base is pre-degreased and painted in the desired shade. Fruits and vegetables are cut into halves and dipped in paint. The dye is best to pour a thin scraper into the plate. We apply the painted fruit with the cut side to the base and get a stamp.
Stamps are made anywhere on the basis of the base, but images that are arranged symmetrically look best.
From paper
There are many options for making paper creations. Let's look at the main ones:
Of round paper designs
This product can be done with your own hands in an hour and this is a great way to decorate the interior, as well as get a lot of positive emotions.
We will prepare the materials:
Colored paper;
Paper clips;
Scotch;
Pins
Stapler.
Procedure:
A sheet of paper is folded with an accordion, like a fan.
We bend the accordion in half.
We fix the edges at the fold with a stapler so that the accordion does not fall apart and a small fan is obtained. We connect three such fans and get a circle.
Accordions of different colors can be combined in one circle, then the panel will turn out even brighter.
Connect many circles together by attaching them to the wall with safety pins. The size of the circles and the composition itself can be arbitrarily large and take any form.
From photos
In fact, this is a collage of photographs or art pictures, which can either have a certain theme or be completely abstract. Photos are combined into one composition and fixed on the wall, or another basis. Design Option: Combine many images of the sea and sky.
From colored paper
There are a lot of options for making crafts from colored paper. Today we offer the option "Flowers from the hearts", which is suitable even for a children's master class. It is very simple in execution, it is an excellent tool for the development of fine motor skills of a child, and it looks amazing!
We will need:
Office colored paper;
The basis for the panel;
Pencil;
Scissors;
Cardboard;
Paints;
Tassels;
Frame.
Let's proceed to the implementation of:
Cut out the pattern in the shape of a heart. To make one flower, we need eight of these hearts. All hearts in the flower should be the same size.
Fold the heart in half and get a petal.
Glue the flower of such petals to the base. It can be cardboard or wall.
To make flower leaves, you need smaller green hearts.
We spread the flowers in any order, depending on the general shape of the desired panel. It can be a heart shape, or you can lay out flowers in the shape of a tree. We show imagination and bring it to life!
From newspaper tubes
Newspapers can be great for making panels yourself.
Necessary materials:
Newspapers
Knitting needles;
Glue;
Wire;
Brush;
Knife
Acrylic paint.
Procedure:
Cut the newspaper sheet with a knife into two parts.
Apply glue to these parts with a thin layer.
We wind the sheets of newspapers on the knitting needle diagonally. You should get thin tubes.
We take acrylic paint and paint newspaper tubes in the desired color.
We coat the resulting flagella with glue again and wrap the ends of each newspaper tube so that a spiral is obtained. Both ends need to be twisted in opposite directions, if you want to get the shape of a seahorse. You can make a circle: for this you just need to roll the entire tube in a spiral.
We fix the spirals with elastic bands and leave for 24 hours to dry.
We remove the elastic bands and make up the desired pattern from the resulting elements. Elements can be immediately mounted on the wall, or create panels on a pre-prepared basis.
Circles from newspaper tubes can be painted in different colors, combining several colors in one circle. Interesting circles with a gradient look: a transition from one color to another.
From the wallpaper
This is an interesting solution that will revitalize your interior and give it even greater comfort. There are several ways to make a panel of wallpaper yourself:
Patch Technique
Cut out fragments from the available wallpaper. Pieces can be of any shape, but must fit together. Consider the general appearance of the entire future composition.For example, you can cut squares with flowers from three different types of wallpaper and combine them together in several rows in a certain sequence. In this case, the paired elements do not have to be placed symmetrically.
Whole Wallpaper Technique
We take the wallpaper with the desired image (for example, a sakura branch), carefully cut it out and paste it into the frame, or glue it on the wall and decorate it with moldings or panels.
Combination of styles
Here the design is limited only by your imagination! Combine whole pieces of wallpaper with small cut out fragments. This is a modern and affordable way to decorate your home. Important! If you can not decide on the style of the future composition, then it is worth taking a closer look at the image of flowers and plants in soft shades. It is always appropriate and looks beautiful.
From salt dough
This type of panel is one of the most budgetary, since its production requires a minimum of material and usually everything you need is always at home.
We offer a variant of stucco panels where your child’s arms and legs will be printed. This creation will allow you to decorate your baby’s bedroom in an original way and preserve the memory of his childhood for a long time.
We will need:
Flour;
Salt;
Colored gouache (optional).
Procedure:
We take flour and salt in proportions two to one. Two glasses of flour are mixed with a glass of salt, then water is added. The approximate volume of water for such an amount of flour and salt will be 125 ml.
Knead the cool dough. If it sticks to your hands, then add more flour. The dough should be elastic and not stick to your hands.
If you want to make the panel color, then it's time to add gouache, painting the dough on it.
Roll out the dough. Its approximate thickness should be about 2 centimeters. The shape of a piece of dough can be any.
We bring the dough to the baby and gently squeeze his palm and foot into the mass. Pressing should be light but sufficient to leave a mark.
We make two through holes in the test - this is for the future ribbon, on which a panel will then hang.
We spread everything on a baking sheet and cover it with baking paper.
Preheat the oven to 90 degrees and put the dough for drying there. It will take about two to two and a half hours. Gently flip the dough once, in the middle of drying.
We color the resulting panel with colored or white gouache, thread the tape into the holes - voila! A very touching and lovely decoration for your home is ready!
From fabric
The design of the panel with cloth came into fashion not so long ago: only in recent years lovers of hand-made have paid close attention to the fabric. This product is ideal for an interior in the style of Provence. Consider the main types of woven panels that you can do with your own hands:
Patchwork
Various techniques are used to make such panels, but all have one thing in common: this is the use of shreds of fabric in the work. On the Internet there are many patterns of such products. Panels can be both on a fabric basis and on rigid structures. You will need any fabric for manufacturing: from tulle pieces to scraps of old bed linen.
Felt for creativity
The panel from felt is one of the most popular among needlewomen. Only pieces of felt of different colors are needed, a pattern of future details of the picture, threads with a needle or glue and a base on which it is planned to fix all the details of the panel. Felt is a material, very fertile for creativity: it will help to realize all fantasies in life. A panel of felt will be an excellent decoration of the living room or hallway.
Burlap panel
Sacking is a seemingly extremely nondescript material, but begins to play with completely different colors when the craftswomen use it in their work. The frame for the panel can be wrapped in sacking, it can be used as the basis for other materials: beads, lace and others. This coarse material perfectly emphasizes the tenderness and sophistication of other fabrics.
Wool panel
The panel made of wool is the simplest product using the technique of wet felting. This is an interesting process in which the wool is compacted in a certain way in order to obtain felt. The drawing on such a panel can be anything: it all depends on the skill of the needlewoman.
If you want to take a single-color piece of fabric and draw a specific picture on it, then keep in mind that this is not as simple as it seems. It is worth practicing on a draft, and then move on to the fabric that you plan to use on the panel.
From beads
In this embodiment, the panel, all or part of its elements are made of beads. To begin with, the elements themselves are made, and then they are already fixed to the base and, if desired, are framed.
Of threads and nails
This is not a new, but very interesting way to make a panel with your own hands! Here minimalism reigns in the choice of materials, but from this panel does not become bland and boring, but, on the contrary, attracts admiring glances.
The whole point is that cloves are clogged onto a solid foundation. This can be done randomly, or it can be done according to a certain scheme, which can be successfully found on the Internet. Between the nails in several layers the threads are stretched. Thanks to this, a certain pattern is created.
From buttons
Ideal for beginners! With buttons, you can decorate a panel made of fabric or paper, or you can create a product made entirely of buttons. For this you need
PVA glue;
Buttons
The foundation.
Order of execution:
Draw a sketch based on: where will the buttons be located and what pattern should they all depict together.
Glue the buttons with PVA glue to the base.
Design can be any: inscriptions, abstraction, flora and fauna and others.
Mirror Panel
A modern panel created from pieces of mirrors. Complex options can only be made by specialists, and simple ones are very accessible for independent work. Mirror panel will be an additional highlight in the room.
Necessary materials:
Mirror tiles;
Liquid Nails;
A base with wooden planks, if you plan to stick the mirrors not directly on the wall.
The principle of operation is understandable: we combine various mirror pieces and fasten them in the necessary order to the wall or another base on liquid nails.
Wooden panels
They are usually made in an abstract style from a wide variety of wood species. Wooden panels with inlaid semiprecious stones look very advantageous in the classic interior.
Dry flowers and leaves
Great for children's creativity. We determine the plot of the future work, and then glue dried flowers and leaves (juniper twigs, tree leaves - any flora is suitable) with a glue on a solid foundation (cardboard, fiberboard). A great addition will be grains, seeds and twigs.
Groats and seeds
A sketch of a future painting is applied to a solid, already painted base. Then, cereals and seeds are attached to the base with PVA glue. Large grains need to be glued individually, and a small placer, for example, rice, should be poured onto the adhesive already applied to the base.
Decorative plaster
Very expensive and time-consuming process. Everything is done on a pre-plastered surface. A sketch of the drawing is made, and then a special plaster is applied using a stencil or independently adjusted with tools. This view is used to decorate walls and ceilings with a variety of images.
Gypsum putty
By analogy, it is similar to the manufacturing process of decorative plaster. It may take a little more labor, because all the reliefs in the image on the panel are performed using a special syringe or spatula.
Decoupage
A panel made using decoupage technique can decorate any wall: be it a kitchen or a corridor. This technique consists in sticking cut-out pictures and decorative elements onto a selected surface, and then covering all this with several layers of varnish.The general idea of the work can be any.
Quilling
Very entertaining manufacturing technique. Strips of colored paper are twisted into a spiral, and then the whole product is formed from such spirals. This is a simple and interesting type of creativity.
A house is a place where you want to feel as comfortable as possible. There are various ways to make it even more comfortable. But it is especially nice when the decor elements are made by yourself. Decorative panels in the interior always attract admiring glances, and it will not be difficult to make them from improvised materials, if the technology is correctly followed and step by step and according to the instructions.
