Home is the place where you want to feel as comfortable as possible. There are various ways to make it even more cozy. But it is especially nice when the decor elements are made by hand. Decorative panels in the interior always attract admiring glances, and making them from improvised materials is not difficult if you follow the technology correctly and follow the instructions step by step.

What it is

The panel is an element of decor and its purpose is to decorate the interior and fill empty space on walls or ceilings. Sounds very similar to the description of the painting, doesn't it? How does it differ from the picture, if both decor options are designed to decorate the room? The answer is simple: the picture is the subject of the art of painting, and the panel can consist of anything. Dough, plastic, gypsum, beads, fabric, wood - there is no limit to fantasy when it comes to making panels and the material for decoration can be anything. If you want to make your interior unique, then the panel will do just fine!

Scope of work

The first step in creating a wall panel is to decide on the design of the future product. If you already know where it will be located, then this complicates the task. We need to weigh color solution, dimensions, what it will have, whether the material from which it is planned to be made fits into the overall picture of the interior.

So, we decide: size, color scheme and what materials will be used. This is the first step. If possible, it is worth drawing 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 solid 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 over the base (for example, on a piece of plywood, board or plastic), and the rest of the fabric is fixed from the back. After the craft is completed, it is placed in a frame and hung on the wall.

There is another option for making panels on a fabric basis. You will need to take a solid foundation, for example, drywall sheet the desired size and glue foam rubber to it. On the resulting soft base, the fabric is stretched. In this case, you can do without a frame.

After all the preparations, you can proceed to the main part of the manufacture: decoration.

Types of panels with your own hands

Consider the main types used in decoration:

fabricThese are all variants of embroidery, appliqués and tapestry techniques that are made on fabric. The execution technique can be anything: from hand embroidery to machine embroidery, made by mass production.
StoneOften made in mosaic technique. Are used natural stones which are considered noble: basalt, marble and others. Rarely in such products there is also an artificial stone.
from ceramicsThey are made using ceramic tiles and are usually placed in the bathroom or kitchen.
sculpturalVolumetric version of the product, which is made of special plaster, gypsum or metal.
GraphicEverything done with various kinds print. It can be reproductions of paintings, photo printing.
Other typesHere 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 fantasy 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, as it is very simple to perform. The bright, colorful design of this creation is perfect for the kitchen.

For manufacturing you will need:

  • Solid vegetables or fruits (it can be apples, any citrus fruits, pears, cabbage, etc.);
  • Paint (gouache, oil, acrylic);
  • The basis on which the decoration will be made. It can be cardboard, a board, a fabric stretched over a sheet of drywall.

The surface of the base is pre-degreased and painted in the desired shade. Cut fruits and vegetables in half and dip them in the paint. The dye is best poured thinly into a plate. We apply the painted fruit with the cut side to the base and get a stamp.

Stamps are made anywhere on the base, but images that look symmetrical look best.

From paper

There are many options for making paper creations. Let's look at the main ones:

From round paper structures

This product can be made with your own hands in an hour and is a great way to decorate the interior, as well as get a lot of positive emotions.

Let's prepare the materials:

  • colored paper;
  • Paperclips;
  • Scotch;
  • pins;
  • stapler.

Procedure:

  1. A sheet of paper is folded into an accordion, like a fan.
  2. We bend the accordion in half.
  3. 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.
  4. Harmonicas different colors can be combined into one circle, then the panel will turn out even brighter.
  5. 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 shape.

From photos

In fact, this is a collage of photographs or artistic pictures, which can either have a specific theme or be completely abstract. Photos are combined into one composition and fixed on the wall or other base. Design option: combine many images of 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 Hearts", which is suitable even for children's master class. It is very simple to perform, is an excellent tool for the development of fine motor skills of the child, and it looks amazing!

We will need:

  • Office colored paper;
  • The basis for the panel;
  • Pencil;
  • Scissors;
  • Cardboard;
  • Paints;
  • Tassels;
  • Frame.

Let's get started:

  1. Cut out the heart template. To make one flower, we need eight of these hearts. All hearts in a flower should be the same size.
  2. Fold the heart in half and get a petal.
  3. We glue a flower from such petals onto the base. It can be cardboard or a wall.
  4. To make flower leaves, you need smaller green hearts.
  5. We lay out 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. Show your imagination and bring it to life!

From newspaper tubes

Newspapers can be great for making DIY panels.

Necessary materials:

  • Newspapers;
  • Knitting needle;
  • Glue;
  • Wire;
  • Brush;
  • Knife;
  • Acrylic paint.

Procedure:

  1. We cut the newspaper sheet into two parts with a knife.
  2. Apply a thin layer of glue to these parts.
  3. We wind sheets of newspapers on a knitting needle diagonally. You should get thin tubes.
  4. We take acrylic paint and paint over newspaper tubes in the desired color.
  5. We coat the resulting flagella with glue again and wrap the ends of each newspaper tube so that a spiral is obtained. Both ends must 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.
  6. We fix the spirals with rubber bands and leave for 24 hours to dry.
  7. We remove the rubber bands and make up the desired pattern from the resulting elements. Elements can be immediately mounted on the wall, or create a panel on a pre-prepared basis.

Circles from newspaper tubes can be painted in different colors, combining several shades in one circle. Circles with a gradient look interesting: a transition from one color to another.

From wallpaper

This interesting solution, which will enliven your interior and give it even more comfort.
There are several ways to make a panel of wallpaper yourself:

  • Patchwork technique

Cut out fragments from existing wallpaper. Pieces can be of any shape, but must fit together. Consider general form all future composition. For example, you can cut out squares with flowers from three different types wallpaper and combine them together in several rows in a certain sequence. In this case, paired elements do not have to be arranged 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.

  • Style Combination

The design here is only limited by your imagination! Combine whole pieces of wallpaper with small cut-out fragments. This is a modern and inexpensive way to decorate your home.
Important! If you can’t decide on the style of the future composition, then you should take a closer look at the image of flowers and plants in soft colors. 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 a stucco panel, where the arms and legs of your child will be printed. This creation will allow you to decorate your baby's bedroom original way and keep the memory of his childhood for a long time.

We will need:

  • Flour;
  • Salt;
  • Colored gouache (optional).

Procedure:

  1. We take flour and salt in proportions of two to one. Two cups of flour are mixed with a glass of salt, then water is added. The approximate volume of water for this amount of flour and salt will be 125 ml.
  2. Knead a stiff dough. If it sticks to your hands, add more flour. The dough should be elastic and not stick to your hands.
  3. If you want to make the panel colorful, then it's time to add gouache, decorating the dough with it.
  4. Roll out the dough. Its approximate thickness should be about 2 centimeters. The shape of a piece of dough can be any.
  5. We bring the dough to the baby and gently press his palm and foot into the mass. The pressure should be light, but sufficient to leave a mark.
  6. We make two through holes in the dough - this is for the future ribbon, on which the panel will then hang.
  7. Put everything on a baking sheet and cover with baking paper.
  8. Preheat the oven to 90 degrees and put the dough there to dry. This will take approximately two to two and a half hours. It is necessary to turn the dough gently once, in the middle of drying.
  9. We paint the resulting panel with colored or white gouache, thread the tape into the holes - voila! A very touching and cute decoration for your home is ready!

From fabric

Making panels with fabric came into fashion not so long ago: only in last years hand-made lovers turned their attention to the fabric. Such a product is ideal for an interior in the Provence style. 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 they all have one thing in common: this is the use of scraps of fabric in the work. There are many patterns of such products on the Internet. Panels can be both on a fabric basis and on rigid structures. You will need any fabric for making: from pieces of tulle to scraps of old bed linen.

Felt for creativity

The felt panel is one of the most popular among needlewomen. You only need pieces of felt of different colors, 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 very fertile material for creativity: it will help to bring all fantasies to life. A felt panel will be a great decoration for your living room or hallway.

Burlap looks like an extremely nondescript material, but it begins to play with completely different colors when craftswomen use it in their work. Burlap can be wrapped around a frame for a panel, can be used as a basis for other materials: beads, lace and others. This coarse material perfectly emphasizes the tenderness and sophistication of other fabrics.

A wool panel is the simplest product in the wet felting technique. This is an interesting process in which the wool is compacted in a certain way to make 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 one-color piece of fabric and draw a certain picture on it, then keep in mind that this is not as easy 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 version of 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, framed.

From thread and nails

It's far from new, but very interesting way make a panel with your own hands! Minimalism reigns here in the choice of materials, but this panel does not become insipid and boring, but, on the contrary, attracts admiring glances.

The whole point is that carnations are hammered onto a solid base. This can be done randomly, or it can be done according to a certain scheme, which can be successfully found on the Internet. Threads are stretched between the nails in several layers. Thanks to this, a certain pattern is created.

From buttons

Ideal option for beginners! Buttons can be used to decorate a panel made of fabric or paper, or you can create a product made entirely of buttons. This will require

  • PVA glue;
  • Buttons;
  • The basis.

Order of execution:

  1. Draw on the basis of the sketch: where the buttons will be located and what pattern they should depict together.
  2. Glue the buttons with PVA glue to the base.

The design can be anything: inscriptions, abstraction, flora and fauna, and others.

Mirror panel

A modern panel created from pieces of mirrors. Its complex variants can only be made by specialists, while simple ones are very affordable for independent work. The mirror panel will become an additional lighting in the room.

Necessary materials:

  • Mirror tiles;
  • Liquid Nails;
  • Base with wooden planks, if you plan to stick the mirrors not directly on the wall.

The principle of operation is clear: we combine various mirror pieces and fasten them in the right order to the wall or other base with liquid nails.

Made usually in an abstract style from the most different breeds tree. Very beneficial in classic interior look wooden panels with inlaid semi-precious stones.

Dry flowers and leaves

Great for kids creativity. We decide on the plot of the future work, and then on a solid base (cardboard, fiberboard) with glue we glue dried flowers and leaves (juniper twigs, tree leaves - any flora will do). Grains, seeds and twigs will be an excellent addition.

Grains and seeds

A sketch of the future picture 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 each individually, and a small scattering, for example, rice, should be poured onto the glue already applied to the base.

Paper flowers can brighten up a room on cold winter days when real colors are scarce around us. new trend is to make such decorations really big. They are suitable as props for fabulous photo shoots or just a decorative element. And the larger the flower, the more impressive it will be.

Paper flowers of large size are perfect as a decoration for any special occasion. Save money on buying boring ones balloons and decorate your birthday party or wedding celebration with such lovely flowers. You do not need special equipment to create them, and the price of materials will be much less than the cost of the usual decor.

You will need the following tools and materials:

  • patterns for leaves and petals;
  • glue gun;
  • scissors;
  • pencil or pen;
  • compass;
  • wooden dowel.

First you need to make a petal pattern. You can use ready-made templates by printing a picture from the Internet, or you can build one yourself. Cut out the template from very thick cardboard, because it will have to be used many times. After the template is ready, transfer its outline with a pencil to colored paper. For a flower, petals of several sizes are needed. Make petals the same shape three or four different sizes.

If you are printing a template on a printer, just zoom in or out a little each time. And if you have a freehand drawing, from the smallest set aside a few centimeters in each direction and circle the outline in dots.

Once all the petals are drawn, cut them out. To complete this operation faster, simply fold the petals of the same size together. You can even just draw one detail, attach several layers of paper to it with clerical clips and cut it all together with sharp scissors.

Now, at the bottom of each petal, make small cuts in the very center. 2.5 cm on small petals, and a little more on large ones.

Now put some glue on one half of the bottom of the petal and glue the other half overlap. Do not connect the parts too tightly.

Now you need to curl the petals on top. This can be done by hand, or by wrapping paper around a pencil or pen.

Next, you need to glue the petals together. Connect them, laying one on top of the other, at an angle of 45 degrees, coat with glue and hold for a while.

Glue the petals in a circle until you get a whole inflorescence. To be sure that the petals are enough for the whole circle, to begin with, simply lay out the petals and try on how far they need to be glued on top of each other.

Using a compass, cut out a small circle to be glued in the middle if the edges of the petals do not close tightly enough.

Now glue the second layer of petals. Each smaller one is attached in the gaps between the larger petals.

Now we attach the third layer of petals.

And finally, the smallest petals in the middle.

Next, you need to make the core of the flower. Choose paper in a contrasting color and fold it into a rectangle. Fold it in half as shown in the photo and cut. Now fold each of the short strips in half lengthwise and cut again. You will get 4 long narrow strips.

Fold the strips together and cut one end so that it looks like a fringe.

Divide the strips in two. Each should have two.

Now we roll the strip around the pencil, smearing it with glue. It is even easier to use a wooden dowel as the basis for a roll.

After twisting the first layer, add a second strip on top, continuing to wind it.

Bend the edges of the core a little and glue it to the center of the flower.

Now, having built a template in the same way as the first one, cut out a sheet of green paper.

Fold the sheet in half lengthwise.

Now fold the sheet like an accordion.

Here's what the end result should be.

Now expand the sheet. It should look like in the photo. Add these leaves to your flowers.

The magical world, the world of flowers,
Secret whisper of petals.
There is no name for those colors.
The story comes to life there.


Magic flower.
Words by Y. Entin, music. E. Krylatova
I drew a magical flower
I gave my soul to drawing.
And perhaps an angel helped me,
A painted flower came to life.
A magical flower, alluring to itself,
Not in the picture, but real.
I touched a living miracle
The magic flower is with me everywhere.
I live as if in a good fairy tale,
My flower changes colors
And now I'm not bored alone
Little rainbow with me


An unconventional way to tint paper.
I want to introduce you to a new way to tint paper using multi-colored stickers for writing. Such simple materials will always be at hand for everyone. Stickers, painted in bright saturated colors, have excellent color rendition.
For work, we need: multi-colored stickers for recording (the adhesive side can be cut off), white printer paper or landscape sheet, a bowl of warm water.


We dip the stickers in water, then put them on paper. Here you can show your imagination: cut out different stickers geometric figures, flowers; lay out on paper in a variety of patterns.



After the paper dries a little, remove the stickers. Our paper was dyed and acquired the same pattern, which was lined with multi-colored notes.


Now you need to let the paper dry well, then put it under the press.
Our paper for creativity is ready. Can be used for background or decoration, but we will make rainbow flowers out of it. When working with such paper, children's hands do not get dirty, the paint does not wear off and does not change color.


Corrugation- this is a very simple, familiar and accessible to everyone since childhood way of folding paper, fraught with great opportunities. Making crafts with corrugated paper accessible even to preschoolers. Corrugation of paper consists in bending the sheet alternately back and forth. The result is an "accordion" from which you can make various crafts.
This type of creativity develops in children fantasy, imagination, spatial thinking, hand motor skills; aesthetic taste, accuracy, diligence are brought up.

Equipment:
- tinted paper;
- the basis for the panel;
- colored paper (green);
- gold foil;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- brush;
- stapler;
- rod ballpoint pen;
- decorative tape;
- figured hole puncher.


Safety precautions when working with PVA glue.
1. Work carefully, trying not to drip glue.
2. Try not to get the glue on clothes, face and especially in the eyes.
3. If glue gets into eyes, rinse well with water.
4. After work, close the adhesive tightly and remove.
5. Wash your hands after work.
Safety precautions when working with scissors.
1. For work, medium-sized scissors with blunt rounded ends are used.
2. When working, pay close attention to the cutting direction.
3. Do not hold scissors with the blade up.
4. Do not leave scissors with open blades.
5. Scissors should be placed on the right with closed blades pointing away from you.
6. Do not approach a friend during work.
7. Pass the closed scissors rings forward.
8. While working, hold the material with your left hand so that your fingers are away from the blade.
Stages of work.
We take a strip of paper 7 cm wide, the length of a standard sheet of printer paper.
We begin to make corrugation.



Fold the "accordion" in half and fix well.


On both sides, cut off the corners, sharpening them.


On the reverse side we fasten with a stapler and we get a blank for a flower.
Similarly, we do all the other flowers.


Cut out circles about 5 cm in diameter.


We cut each circle diagonally and make funnels.



Now we glue our flower with a funnel. We get such rainbow flowers.


To perform the application of the stem, we need to make paper tubes. To do this, you need colored green paper and a ballpoint pen. We wind the paper onto the rod, coat the edge with glue and glue it to the tube. Our preparation is ready.





With a simple pencil, draw a bend of the stem and begin to stick it, laying it out with paper tubes.



We glue the flowers, placing them along the stem up.



Cut out elongated leaves from colored paper.
