Beautiful ceramic tiles cost a fortune. Therefore, on our kitchen aprons, these wonderful pieces with patterns are inserted in places, as a highlight of the composition.

Today we will give you a tool that will save you from half measures. You can make beautiful volumetric tiles yourself based on a simple tile. And the range of its application is wide: you can lay out an apron, make an accent wall in a room or a frame for a mirror, decorate the surface kitchen table and risers on the stairs.

We will need:

1. Tiled tiles, preferably plain and matte. Size 10 x 10. Sold individually in specialized stores. The price for one piece is 10 rubles. By the way, sometimes in hardware stores you can run into a discounted tile for 1-3 rubles apiece. Ask sellers.

2. Wood putty. She has a different composition and color. I like the Lakra company: the putty does not shrink, dries quickly, adheres well to the tile. Sold in baths of 600 grams, costs about 70 rubles, enough for a long time.

3. Stencil with a pattern. I have a stencil just for a 10 x 10 tile. It is thin. But durable, it can be washed. Price - 50 rubles in needlework stores. Remember that the thinner the pattern, the easier it is to make a three-dimensional drawing.

4. Cellophane bag.

5. Rubber spatulas. Usually sold in sets of three, the price is from 30 to 50 rubles per set.

6. Brushes. Small, flat, preferably soft, synthetic. Now inexpensive ones can be taken at FixPrice - 30-50 rubles. Or buy a children's set of brushes from IKEA - it contains six pieces of different-sized brushes. The price is 250 rubles.

7. Paints. Any color, but if you want a contrasting combination, then it is better to take a bright color.

8. Water-based varnish. If you plan to use tiles in a kitchen apron, where it will come into contact with water, then by all means buy a moisture-resistant varnish. It is more profitable to take in a hardware store than in a needlework. Price from 500 rubles for half a liter of varnish.

Step 1. We apply a thin layer of putty. To make it even over the entire surface, it is better to take the widest spatula for this. Let dry naturally, no hair dryer.

Step 2. We apply a stencil. We collect putties and coat the pattern, as shown in the picture. The main thing is not to press hard, otherwise the drawing will spread. Try to do this in three or four movements: the less we fiddle, the more accurate the pattern will be.

Step 3 Without waiting for the putty to dry, carefully remove the stencil. Let the pattern harden.

Step 4. Coloring the tiles. There are many options, it all depends on your imagination. I will show you a simple but effective way - highlighting a pattern using the dry brush technique. We dip the brush into the paint (I have blue) and remove the excess with a napkin. Important: there should be very little paint, otherwise it will leak under the pattern. Have you penetrated? And now with frequent and quick movements we “sweep” with a brush according to the texture. You will see how the pattern is highlighted in blue on a white background.

Step 5. Varnish. The tile is ready.

Abstraction

Step 1. We put fatter putty on the tile.

Step 2. While the mixture has not dried, put a plastic bag on it. Smooth without pressure, let the film stick. Now let's remove the package. Ready!

Step 3. You need to paint the abstraction only after it dries and hardens. And then experiment. You can again try out the "dry brush", which will emphasize the broken texture of the tile. You can let streams of liquid paint flow over it, let the pigment spread intricately.

Step 4. For a beautiful work to live for a long time, varnish it.

Create with pleasure!

Stencil is a great way to decorate your home with unique tile. Ceramic tiles with a pattern are quite expensive. Moreover, if you want uniqueness, if you want a tile that is not like everyone else, then there are even more difficulties - it will be even more expensive with single copies to order.

But with a stencil, you have a great opportunity to turn an ordinary plain tile into a tile with a unique design. At the same time, you will not spend a lot of money and have an exciting time. How to do this - we tell and show in this manual.

Begin. We prepare everything you need. Required - a little. We will need:

Cooking tiles and stencil. The tile must be wiped from dust and dirt, even invisible. To do this, just wipe it with alcohol (vodka) or wash it under a tap with detergent for dishes. Then wipe dry.

While the tile dries, take the stencil and cover its reverse side with spray adhesive. In principle, you can do without it - then the turnover of the stencil must be moistened with water. However, spray adhesive is more convenient, simpler and more reliable.

Apply the stencil and start painting. What color to start with is up to you. We started with a darker one. The considerations were as follows - if the next color climbs onto the first, then on a dark light it will be less noticeable than vice versa.

Pay attention- the brush should be held perpendicular to the surface and apply the paint with dotted movements! This is not a hard and fast rule, but if you carry it over the surface, the risk of paint flowing under the edge of the stencil will increase significantly. Also, make sure that there is not much paint on the brush so that it does not run.

We draw with the second color. Since it is similar in tone to the first one (we got it by mixing colors), you can not be afraid to accidentally step over the line and get on the first color. Nobody will ever notice it. Moreover, often such "misdemeanors" even give expressiveness to the drawing.

This is what our tile with an unfinished pattern looks like. Nothing seems to save her. However, this is just an illusion, see for yourself!

We change the tool. Dye different colors may be of different consistency. If it suddenly turns out that it is too liquid, then you can change the brush to a sponge. We did it with blue. At hand was a special foam "brush". However, with the same success, you can cut off a piece of a dish sponge and draw with it. We draw with "blotting" divisions.

In fact, changing the "tool" gives one more, very useful and necessary, by-effect. If the brush puts paint with the effect of stripes, veins, then the sponge creates a completely different pattern on the surface - a uniformly rough coating. In our case, all this is very helpful - the leaves are veined, the berries are even.

Typical mistake. Upon closer examination, it turned out that the leaf that we drew first was defective. The reason for this is the too liquid paint that we used at the beginning. Unfortunately, we ignored our own advice to try the brush on paper and, dipping it into the paint, immediately began to paint. For which they paid - the paint on the brush turned out to be too much and it flowed under the edge. We drew all other parts of the drawing taking into account the initial oversight. But the first sheet came out - with a smudge.

We fix the defect. On the advice of one of our clients (stupid word, but how else?), we tried a new trick - removing smudges with the reverse end of a match. This must be done without delay - in an hour the paint will be all over the place!

So, we want to say Svetlana Ponomareva from Moscow Thanks a lot- remove smudges with a match is just perfect. And the surface is not scratched, and the paint is removed like a pencil with a good eraser, and the accuracy is high and easily achievable.

We clean the tiles from glue. In fairness, we want to warn you: our favorite spray adhesive leaves marks on glass and tiles. They are almost invisible, and are distinguishable only by touch. On any other surface - no, but on a smooth glossy surface, microscopic goosebumps remain. They must be removed. We do this with the help of ZIPPO lighter gasoline - it is clean, so it smells less and leaves no traces.

We impregnate a rag with gasoline and wipe the film with light pressure. We did this a few hours after the last stroke of paint, so that it had time to dry well. If you do not rub with all your might, then the GAMMA paint for ceramics cannot be washed off the tile with gasoline - it holds very well. We check the quality of work by looking at the surface of the tile at an angle. In reflected light, "goosebumps" are clearly visible, and the washed surface sparkles.

Finishing touch. The recommendations of the paint manufacturer - 24 hours after painting, bake the result in the oven. It's very simple, turn on the stove 150 degrees oven, put the tile there, hold for 15 minutes and let it cool without taking it out of the oven. When we turn on the light in the kitchen, you will see how it happened.

However, we would like to note- we conducted a cruel test, took a rag with gasoline, gave it to one of the men of our team, and he began to erase the drawing with an effort ... We did not notice any visible changes! Although a colored spot appeared on the rag (which told us that the drawing might suffer after two hours of hard work), there was no visible damage to the drawing. From this we draw a very important conclusion:

GAMMA paint adheres well to tiles even without fixing in the oven. It will withstand washing with water and a sponge, and more than once, even without additional temperature treatment of the pattern.

In practice, this means: you can decorate with a pattern not only a new tile that has not yet been laid on the wall! With the same success, you can give a unique look to the tile, which has long been glued to the wall. Imagine - without extra effort, without noise, without REPAIR, you can give your kitchen an exclusive, unique look!

A stencil is a great way to turn ceramic tiles into a work of art. If you have ever been to a store building materials, then you probably know that ceramics with a pattern cost a lot of money. But decorating the walls of the kitchen or bathroom with unique drawings is not at all difficult ...
What will be needed for this?

1. Naturally, plain tiles (or take a tile, by the way) and stencils, which can be purchased at any hardware store or in supermarkets like "Everything for Repair".

2. Acrylic paints, which are designed for drawing a pattern on ceramic tiles.

3. Special spray adhesive. Its use is not necessary, but it is it that allows you to better fix the stencil on the tile.

4. Stencil brushes, sponges, as well as a jar of water in which the brushes are stored during operation to prevent the paint from drying out.

Before applying a pattern to a tile, it must be prepared in a certain way. If we are talking about tiles or tiles: it will be enough to wipe it with a degreasing solution or rinse it under water using dishwashing detergent.

After washing, the tiles must be left to dry. In anticipation, you can attend to the preparation of the stencil, which is covered with aerosol glue on the reverse side - this will allow you not to worry that the stencil will “peel off” during operation.

When the tile is completely dry, the stencil is superimposed on its outer side: you can start drawing. You can choose the color from which the whole process will begin on your own, but it is better if the first color is darker than the next, then there will be no problems with the brightness of the picture later.

Remember that while painting on the tile, the brush should be kept in a perpendicular position, and the paint itself should be applied with dotted movements. It is important to follow this rule because otherwise the paint may “leak” under the stencil during drawing, which will make your drawing not so clear. It is also necessary to avoid that there is too much paint on the brushes, otherwise it will flow.

In the process of drawing, it is not necessary to use only brushes. After you finish working with one color or part of the pattern, you can use a sponge for another tone. The sponge allows you to draw with "blotting" movements, which will make it possible to create various effects.

If under the brush the paint often lays down in stripes or dots, then with the help of a sponge you can create a certain embossing. Then the veins and dots in your drawing will be mixed with the roughness that the sponge will create while painting.

After the drawing is completely completed, you can remove the stencil. If the paint that you used for painting is of sufficient quality, then it will not take long to wait for it to dry completely. The result will certainly exceed all your expectations: an exclusive pattern on the tile is a godsend for renovation!

After the paint has completely dried, ceramic tiles can be safely washed. By the way, even solvents are not able to harm acrylic paints. But if you want the pattern to last as long as possible, you can additionally heat the tiles in the oven. Just make sure that the instructions for the paint indicate the possibility of such heating.

If old cladding became ugly, but it’s impossible to wash it off just like that - paint for ceramic tiles can help renew coverage without complete replacement. In addition, such methods are sometimes used by designers for painting and creating a unique pattern on tiles.

You can paint tiles in several ways:

• Paint for tiles and glass (stained glass). It can be applied directly to a smooth surface without preparation. Usually, the contour is applied first, and then the acrylic background paint. Because of the high price, it only makes sense to use it as a decorative effect. As alternative You can use vinyl stickers.
• Epoxy paint. It is harder to find on sale, and it costs more.
• Latex or Oil paint. Pre-mandatory application of a special primer, for example, Tikkurila Otex.

Preparatory work

Before painting the cladding, it is necessary to remove the remnants of cement glue and excess grout from the surface with abrasive materials. The fallen off tiles are glued to cement glue or liquid nails and left to dry completely. If they were lost, you can replace them with tiles of a different color. You also need to replace the chipped tiles.

We glue the old tiles in place and rub the seams

See also the article:.

The surface is degreased with acetone, alcohol or solvent.

Apply Tikkurila Otex primer with a short pile roller and leave it to dry for 12 hours. She has White color, so it will partially help to hide the old color of the texture.

Primer Tikkurila Otex

Painting

Paint for tiles is applied in several layers to completely hide the old pattern and get a uniform color. A new layer should be applied only after the old one has completely dried.

Applying the first coat over the white primer

If you want to get not a monophonic surface, but divide it into several parts or diversify with an ornament, use masking tape to get even lines of the intended pattern.

The masking tape for creating an ornament is glued only after applying the base coat of paint. The easiest way is to make a geometric pattern out of it.

Once the paint has dried, the masking tape can be removed.

The video shows the result of painting an apron with oil enamel in the kitchen with a white and red ornament:

The joints can be additionally colored with a special tile marker (Edding 8200, PUFAS FRISCHE FUGE paint).

Using stencils

A stunning effect can be achieved if you use ready-made stencils. The photo below shows an example of decorating an apron made of white tiles with paint.

Conclusion

After painting, you should not expect to get a cool result for a long time, because along with a layer of paint, the tile will lose many of its important properties. The decorative layer will no longer be protected by glaze. It will be more difficult to wash it, fungus and mold can form on it, the seams will have the same color, over time the paint will begin to peel off. I would not recommend that you do such a tile repair in the bathroom without a special need, it will be more reliable to replace the cladding.

How best to decorate the walls in the kitchen - many people ask themselves this question. Of course, it is good if there is finance for expensive cosmetic repairs in the kitchen, but now not everyone has such an opportunity.

What to do if you want to decorate a wall or an apron without resorting to big expenses in decoration? Decorating the walls of the kitchen - here stencils and templates that you can buy or do it yourself will come to the rescue. Templates can be found in this article. We will also talk about vinyl stickers and apron tiles. In short, we need a simple, inexpensive, but decent wall decor.

Ceramic tile is a great finishing option. Decorative tiles decorate both part of the walls and aprons in the kitchen. Tiles for the kitchen are convenient because they are easy to clean, they are durable and do not require special care.

Ceramic tiles above the table, in the dining area, that is, between the countertop and wall cabinets, are an important part of the kitchen. Now such a variety of tiles for decoration is being sold: plain, with drawings, with ornaments, of any size and shape. Choosing ceramic tiles for an apron or wall in the kitchen is not difficult.

It is better to buy a large tile - there will be fewer seams with grout, which may become a different color over time. The stores sell mostly imported ceramics, but you can find good domestic ones. The most important thing is to properly prepare the wall for working with tiles.

Wall decor in the kitchen can be done using special glass (skinali). This surface is made of annealed safety glass. Photo printing is applied to the glass. A plus in using skinali decor is that there are no seams, a flat surface.

Usually, a wall in the kitchen is trimmed with such glass, more often a kitchen apron. It must be borne in mind that the largest width of one panel is 2.8-3 meters. If the kitchen is large, then one panel will not be enough, and you will have to dock 2 pieces. Also consider that the skins are fastened with metal parts (fasteners), which can be noticeable.

Mosaic is a small tile. It is ceramic (the most widely used), glass, ceramic-stone and metal. All types of mosaics are quite interesting, and each has its own characteristics.

Mosaic is an expensive decor compared to ordinary tiles and glass. What is a mosaic for the kitchen?

- it happens not only in the form of small squares or rectangles, but also in the form of larger fragments, they are mounted faster. The sizes of ceramics are different: it can be both 10/10 cm and 30/30 cm.

- small tiles made of glass. All glass tiles are glued to the base, which makes decorating easier. Glass expands the space of the kitchen and gives a festive look to a fragment of a wall or an apron. Glass mosaic on the wall is made of white quartz, mother-of-pearl and pigments are added here for shine and color. The main advantage is the resistance of decorative glass mosaic to fire.

Ceramic granite mosaic on the wall is a slab cut into small pieces. It looks like stone.

- This is an elite version of the decor. Mosaic is cut out of stones and minerals. The disadvantage of this finish is the high cost. Also susceptible to surface stains - beet or coffee stains can leave a permanent mark. In order to prevent stains from remaining on the surface, the stone is coated on top with acrylic varnish.

metal- these are ceramic fragments on which metal plates are put on, mostly stainless steel. Metal ceramics are easily soiled, all stains and smudges will be visible on it. Another, main disadvantage is the expensive decor.

This is a very simple and affordable wall decor in the kitchen with your own hands. You can choose stickers to match with kitchen set to complement the already finished interior.

In addition, vinyl stickers do not require maintenance, wash well, and traces of them are washed off with a regular brush or sponge. There are two types of stickers: mirror and matte. Matte - the most common, mirror are less common. Stickers are also used in cases where you need to hide ugly places on the wall or on the kitchen set.

You can make kitchen stickers yourself - for this you need to buy a self-adhesive film in a hardware store, it is sold in different colors and different patterns. You print a drawing or draw by hand on the back of the film, then cut along the contour, remove a thin layer of tissue paper, and you can glue the figure or flowers. If you wish, you can get a whole composition.

The easiest way to decorate walls is with wall stencils. Stencils for kitchen decor help outline the contours, and if desired, decorate walls or an apron.

Using one stencil made of cardboard or PVC film (a thick kitchen napkin or paper folder is good for making a stencil), you can decorate the entire kitchen wall.

Stencils and templates are different:

• plain template - one color of paint.
• Multicolor template - from several colors. To do this kind of work, you need experience and a certain skill.
• Volume template - applied with putty. The drawing is convex, voluminous.
• Back- the paint is not applied inside the template, but vice versa - outside. It creates an interesting effect, similar to the backlight.

If you have chosen a template with very small details, it is better to postpone this venture. Small parts it is very difficult to paint over, the drawing will look sloppy, no matter how hard you try.

You can buy a stencil, they are in hardware stores, or you can make it yourself. What is needed for this?

1. Selected drawing.
2. Cardboard, PVC film, plastic - for the stencil itself.
3. Pencil.
4. Stationery knife.
5. Scotch.
6. Flat, hard surface to work on.

After choosing a picture, it is recommended to print it, enlarge it, transfer it to cardboard or plastic using carbon paper (if there is no carbon paper, take a pencil and shade the back of the picture, and then trace the silhouette along the lines with a pen, everything will be printed on cardboard). The drawing is attached to the cardboard with adhesive tape - otherwise it may move. If you are making a stencil from cardboard, it is advised to glue it with tape on both sides, otherwise the paint will be absorbed into the cardboard. Next, cut out inside the stencil those areas that should be painted over.

You have chosen a template and decided on where you will make drawings. First you need to prepare an empty wall for painting. Clean the empty wall of dust and dirt - wash or vacuum. Then we outline the places for the drawing. To do this, it is more convenient to use the level. In order for the stencil to stick to the wall, use adhesive tape or spray adhesive.

We will need:

1. Roller or sponge.
2. Acrylic or spray paint.
3. Aerosol glue or tape.
4. Stencil.

If you chose spray adhesive, spray it onto the stencil, then press it firmly against the surface. In order to make a template, it is advised to use acrylic paint. Acrylic does not dry for a long time, this paint is suitable for any wall. If you are working with a roller, the excess paint must be removed - otherwise the paint will be unevenly distributed. There should be a minimum of paint, otherwise it will leak and ruin the entire template. If you are working with spray paint, keep the spray can 30 cm away from the wall.
