Panels on the wall, their types and placement, preparing the basis of the composition, techniques for making it from various materials.

The main types of wall panels

• Any material can be used: plastic and fabric, wood and cardboard, paper, wire and fur, postcards and photographs, buttons and yarn, mirror fragments and mosaics, branches, dry leaves, etc.
• Execution techniques using knitting, embossing, embroidery, wood carving, gluing and inlay. In this case, the 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 panels on the wall are made in the form of ovals, polygons, curvilinear figures and often consist of several individual elements. Depending on the size, paintings 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 possible. The three-dimensional effect in this case is achieved using voluminous paper applications, various protrusions, etc. Applications can imitate bas-relief, high relief and unique carvings. “Soft” ones look beautiful volumetric panels with a pattern created using small wallpaper nails equipped with decorative heads.
• Lighting, which makes the panel not only a decorative element, but also gives it practical properties. LED lights allows, for example, to use the panel as a night light. The 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 available materials look great on free space. Therefore, placing such decor near other interior items, such as shelves, photographs and paintings, is not recommended.

Preparatory work before making a wall panel

If fabric is used as decoration, you can use a piece of plastic, a board or any material with a hard surface as a base. You need to stretch the fabric over the base, and secure its allowances with back side blanks. 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.

The panel can be made without a frame. This will require a piece plasterboard sheet or plywood. The front part of the workpiece must be covered with foam rubber or padding polyester, and then the resulting “pillow” must be covered with fabric. After this, the product can be decorated.

How to make a wall panel with your own hands

Below we will look at the manufacturing process of the most popular panels from various materials.

Wall panel made of colored buttons

To make it you will need a base, which can be a board, cardboard or fabric stretched over a frame, glue, copy paper, buttons, a pencil, a selected drawing or your own imagination.

An original solution could be to create a panel on the wall with your own hands " Money Tree": 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 picture with coins.

You can make such a panel like this:

1. The base should be painted with a drawing of a tree with a powerful trunk and a lush crown.
2. Choose brown and green buttons of various sizes and shades.
3. The necessary places of the base need to be coated with glue and buttons should be glued to them one by one. Pasting should begin from the tree trunk, since it will be partially hidden under the crown. Buttons imitating leaves need to be glued by placing them on the trunk - the green “foliage” should hang down.

Dough wall panel

To prepare salt dough you will need two glasses 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 oil is often used plant origin.

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 by adding oil. The dough can be given color using food coloring, and flavor can be added with turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices.

The panel is made in the following order:

• From the prepared dough you should make a picture or make separate fragments for it in the form of figures, which can then be assembled into a single composition. Its theme and detail depend only on the imagination of the performer and his artistic taste.
• After completing the sculpting, the panel should be sent to dry 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 take 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

The production of panels from nails and threads is carried out in the following sequence:

1. First of all, you should cut out the stencil and secure it firmly on the board with tape.
2. Then, along the contour of the drawing and its parts, you need to stuff nails, duplicating them with the location of the stencil parts. At the same time, the meaning of the drawing should be clear even if, after printing, the stencil is completely removed from the board. Detailing it with nails will help you avoid getting confused in the future when highlighting fragments of the picture by covering it with threads of a certain color.
3. After driving in the last nail, the stencil can be removed and you can begin working with yarn. To do this, you need to secure the end of the thread to one of the nails and wind the yarn on a specific area: for example, on a flower petal. The specific order in this work is not important. The main thing is to maintain uniform winding of the threads everywhere.
4. In a similar way, each individual fragment of the pattern should be “painted over” with yarn.

Tile wall panel

Further actions are performed in this order:

• It is necessary to select whole tiles of different types and additional decor. The tiles can be cut into the required fragments with a grinder or tile cutter.
• The surface of the base of the future panel should be cleaned. This could be plywood, board or part of a plasterboard sheet.
• After cleaning or washing, the base surface should dry.
• Using transparent glue, the main fragments of the panel should be fixed to the base. For the main layer of coating, you need to use neutral shades of tiles to highlight the sophistication of the remaining fragments of the tile panel.
• Making a preliminary sketch can simplify the work. To do this you need to decompose everything decorative elements and tag them. After this, you will be able to understand where and in what order each piece of tile should be glued.
• The composition can be further diversified small details: shells, beads, pebbles, which you can find at home or buy.
• After laying the tiles, grout the joints. The space between the panel elements must be filled with special mastic using a rubber spatula. After this, excess mastic must be carefully removed with a damp sponge and allowed to dry.

Wall photo panel

It is not difficult to make panels from photographs. To do this, you need to buy a large glass frame and fill it with memorable fragments from life. However, creating a unique photo panel with an openwork pattern will be even better. For this, a special quilling technique is used (from the word quill “bird feather” in English), which does not require any special expenses.

To work using this method 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 this, between the frames you should lay out a pattern consisting of strips of paper twisted using the quilling technique. After completing the design of the panel it load-bearing structure worth spray painting.

Mirror panel on the wall

1. Create a sketch indicating the required dimensions.
2. Cut out the elements of the future panel from a sheet of mirror and number them.
3. The edges of the parts should be processed and laid in the required order on a plywood sheet.
4. When creating a composition from fragments, its parts should be glued on “liquid” nails.
5. The mirror panel can be decorated with small mosaics laid in the form of a rectangle or diamond.

To prevent the canvas from moving, its edges are fixed with glue. In this way, a base is obtained on which the applique elements begin to be attached.

• They take wooden slats and form a frame from them, then they cover it with fabric. To do this, cut out the canvas rectangular shape according to the dimensions of the frame, adding 2-3 cm so that you can wrap it on the wrong side. After the fabric is stretched, the edges are fixed to the frame using a stapler or small nails.

• Styrofoam is also perfect as a base. On such a blank, a drawing or diagram is drawn with a pencil, then scraps of fabric are selected different colors and textures. Along the marked lines, the edges of the patches are deepened into the foam using a sharp tool.

After the base is ready, they begin to select the elements from which the drawing will be created.
