Unusual paintings from fabric. How to make a picture with your own hands from various materials - step by step instructions with photos and videos for making at home

Self-decoration of your home is a matter of honor for masters and craftswomen who prefer an original and unique interior. Modern trends in interior decoration dictate the use of relatively modest and concise items.

Do-it-yourself modular paintings are just such minimalist types of jewelry. Their simple geometric shape, the absence of frames, glass and other unnecessary details, allows you to create them yourself.

What are modular paintings

As the name implies, these decorative elements consist of several separate parts (modules), which are united by a common artistic idea and are placed on the wall in a certain order.

As a rule, do-it-yourself modular paintings from photo wallpapers or other materials, like factory products, have a certain thickness. That is, they form a three-dimensional composition. The depth of individual modules can be the same (most often) or different. In the second case, the difference in volume allows you to create the effect of a three-dimensional image.

Do-it-yourself modular paintings: types

As the main material for creating such a decor, you can use:

• wallpaper (regular or photo wallpaper);
• Photo;
• colored paper;
• the cloth;
• canvas.

Really original are products painted by hand on paper or canvas. However, the ease of making modular paintings opens up great opportunities even for those who are far from the world of creativity. When using ready-made painted materials, the main necessary skill can be called the accuracy of a home master.

The arrangement of elements can be linear, diagonal or abstract. The shape of the modules is given completely different: square, round, arbitrary. True, the simplest for making a house still remains rectangular.

How to place finished products

When thinking about how to make a modular picture with your own hands, you should think about its placement in advance. As a rule, empty sections of walls above sofas, along stairs or between doorways need decoration and filling.

The diagram below suggests various options for arranging the elements of modular paintings, which will also be useful to those who plan to place a large number of photographs or panels.

Paintings on canvas

Do-it-yourself modular paintings, created as an alternative to original canvases, imply the use of quality materials and specific technology. The canvas serves as the basis for applying the decorative layer.

Artist stores stock a wide range of different blanks, including a sturdy wooden stretcher with a canvas stretched over it. The assortment of such stores often depends on the demand for such products, so finding materials in provincial cities can be problematic. The way out is to search and buy everything you need in online stores.

The selected drawing is applied to the finished base using any available technique (oil, pastel). Such modular paintings, made by hand, are a real work of art.

In the event that the image cannot be drawn, it can be applied to the canvas using a special printer. For this task, a ready-made base with a stretcher will not work. You will need to purchase separately a canvas and a mount for it. Canvas printing is a fairly common service that many printers offer.

An important point: before you make a modular picture with your own hands, you should carefully plan the location and boundaries of each of its elements. The printed canvas must be stretched on a stretcher, which means that each element of the composition must be printed separately with a sufficient margin of clean canvas around the edges.

Use of improvised materials

Unlike the previous method, do-it-yourself modular paintings from wallpaper are much easier to make. As a decorative material, you can use any wallpaper you like, a drawing printed in a printing house, family photos, portraits of your favorite film artists or decoupage cards.

For such paintings, you will also need a stretcher with chipboard or plywood. You can buy it or make it yourself. The color image is drawn, cut out and attached to the flat base of the stretcher. For fixing, use special glue, double-sided tape or a construction stapler. The disadvantage of using liquid glue is the softening and deformation of the paper, so you should experiment in advance on an unnecessary fragment and choose the right material.

Before you make a modular picture with your own hands from photo wallpaper, you need to make sure that the finished elements are correctly matched on the wall and create a single plot. Therefore, cutting wallpaper should be carried out taking into account allowances for hem. An alternative would be to glue the end of the subframe with another material. In this case, the area of ​​the picture is the same as the surface area of ​​the subframe.

Do-it-yourself modular painting: master class

A fairly popular material for the manufacture of modular paintings is fabric. Its color can be any, at the discretion of the owner of the house. To work, you will need the following tools and materials:

• stretcher;
• decorative fabric;
• scissors;
• meter or tape measure;
• glue or construction stapler;
• additional elements (fasteners for hanging, tape for end processing, decor).

For cutting fabric, it is better to make a pattern according to the size of each fragment. Cut parts with hem allowances should be carefully, especially when it comes to material with a geometric pattern. If you allow a bias, it will be very noticeable, you will have to redo it.

The beauty of using fabric is that you do not have to try to match the edges of the future modular picture. This greatly simplifies the work.

The subframe can be wood or foam. When choosing the second option, it is worth abandoning the use of glue, since it will be almost impossible to achieve uniform gluing of the fabric.

Sequence of work

The cut fragments are placed on the surface of the stretcher and fixed with temporary fasteners at several points (pins or thin nails). Then the workpiece should be turned over, allowances should be made on the wrong side and sequentially attached to the stretcher. You should start with the long sides, then move on to the short ones. Lastly, fold and fix the corners.

Excessive stretching of the canvas must be avoided, as this will lead to deformation of the pattern. If desired, the ends can be processed with tape, and decorative elements can be attached to the front surface of the picture.

Last of all, loops are nailed from the inside and then the pictures are hung on the wall.

To give a hateful interior design a new character and color, as well as to bring a fresh stream into the design of the kitchen, bedroom, nursery, paintings created by yourself will help. You can make unique paintings with your own hands from any available materials; this absolutely does not require professional art education. Stylish works of art that rightfully occupy a dominant role in the house are the bright accent that can enliven the interior, filling it with individual features.

In fact, you can make a picture with your own hands from almost anything. Yes, yes, this is not a joke. Having applied imagination, all creativity and creativity, it is really possible to use any materials at hand: coins, shells, buttons, threads, fabric cuts, leaves, dried berries, small branches, cutlery, sewing accessories, personal photographs and even miniature children's toys .

An excellent solution not only for the kitchen, but also for the bedroom, living room, nursery. Such modular compositions look holistic due to a single trunk and branches extending from it. The background of each individual element corresponds to a certain season (autumn - orange, summer - emerald, spring - light green, winter - blue). The button foliage is also made in a tonality corresponding to the presented seasons.

Despite the fact that the skin is quite easy to process, the picture is not so easy to handle. Here you need an understanding of working with the material, knowledge of the basic properties of the skin, considerable patience and perseverance. Therefore, it is recommended that you first try to make small trial compositions, and then move on to voluminous, fundamental works.

The most commonly used color palette in genuine leather paintings is brown-beige. But some daredevils are happy to use green, red, orange, yellow patches.

The main advantages of leather images:

• Exclusivity - due to the originality of the material, it is impossible to repeat the picture one to one;
• Relief - depth, elevation, highlights and shadows create an unsurpassed 3D effect, thanks to which the picture "comes to life";
• Availability - small pieces of leather can be found both at home and purchased at the "flea" market or from shoemakers literally for next to nothing.

Panel of products

One of the most relevant techniques for creating paintings for the kitchen is subject application. Moreover, in this case, cereals, coffee beans, small dry vegetables and fruits, citrus peels, spices and the like are most in demand.

Food panels look harmoniously in the interior of the kitchen, as they look not only stylish, but also appetizing.

Paintings from wallpaper are a very budgetary addition to the interior. Moreover, you can create in several techniques at once: appliqué, 3D format, stretching on a wooden base, etc. Wallpaper is good because it fits perfectly into any room in style - after all, the remnants of rolls purchased in excess are used.

Photography in the interior of the kitchen

For those who prefer to follow the path of least resistance, a wonderful way to add color to a room is photographic paintings. In this case, it is enough to pick up a photo on the Internet or from a personal archive, and print it on a large-format color printer.

Fabric drawings

Fabric paintings are also widely applicable in the design of kitchens. They always look original, colorful and stylish. To prevent dust and grease from penetrating inside, upon completion of the creation of a work of art, textiles are usually treated with varnish. For fabric products, synthetic material, burlap and silk are best suited.

• When creating a picture for the interior with your own hands, it is best not to dazzle with colors, but to use a tone that matches the design of the kitchen. You also always need to adhere to the style of the overall concept of interior design. For example, in a classic room, leather goods and canvases painted in oils are acceptable. The following materials are suitable for high-tech style: glass, metal, mirror. Provence can be filled with floral ornaments and paintings from cereals. Volumetric works harmoniously look in modern kitchens and combined styles.

• The color palette should include three primary colors and several (at the request of the owner) close shades. Cold tonality is allowed to be diluted with warm accents, but you need to take colors from the opposite spectrum.

Color spectrum: the right principles for combining shades

• For convex shapes, you should always use an alternation of light and dark tones. Moreover, oversized dark volumes look best on a light plane. Approximately the same principle of a tandem of glossy with matte materials: matte should protrude above glossy. Thus, a greater depth of paintings and a maximum 3D effect are achieved.

• When making paintings on your own, whether it is an application or a drawing, it is important to observe the basic compositional principles, dynamics and balance.

• An easy way to make a painting original is to move the inner drawing outside of the base outline. For example, to extend the image to the frame or, with relief forms, beyond the border of the frame.

Four simple master classes

You will need:

• empty candy box or any deep frame
• double-sided colored paper
• simple pencil, eraser
• cardboard scraps
• sharp scissors
• PVA or transparent stationery glue.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. At the bottom of the candy box you need to draw a big heart. It is desirable that the distance to the frame is at least 20 ... 50 mm (depending on the size of the box).
2. Make several templates of different sizes from cardboard in the shape of hearts.
3. Cut out multi-colored paper hearts according to cardboard templates. Fold each heart in half vertically.
4. Glue two hearts of the same color and size. Gluing is done along the edge of the upper figure.
5. Lay out a composition of double miniature hearts inside the frame. Important - you can not go beyond the contours of the drawn big heart.
6. Glue all the elements according to the laid out scheme. Glue should be applied only to the edges of the hearts.
7. Volumetric 3D picture is ready! Then you can decorate it by painting a plain frame or using a hanging decor (candy on ribbons, paper butterflies on a fishing line, and the like).

Tip: The drawing can be left in monochrome or painted with colored pencils, watercolors, wax crayons to match the interior.

How to make modular composition yourself

Photo of the final result

You will need:

• piece of fabric (the size should be with a margin - for each detail you need a margin of at least 10 cm in width and 10 cm in height)
• pieces of plywood and wood slats for the frame
• foam or chipboard for the base
• furniture stapler
• scissors
• tape measure or long ruler
• a simple pencil or chalk (chalk is useful if the fabric is dark in color)

Step by step instructions:

1. Two options for creating a base for a do-it-yourself painting:

• Making a stretcher with your own hands. Saw the ends of the rails at 45 degrees and connect them with glue or a stapler. For reliability, it is recommended to fix small isosceles triangles at the corners of the frame. Triangles can be made from plywood or fiberboard. Also, for structural rigidity, you can stretch the fabric around the perimeter by attaching it with a stapler.

  

  Making a stretcher with your own hands

• Cut the finished base strictly in size from chipboard (16 ... 25 mm) or prepared foam.

  

  Chipboard base

  1. Fixation of textile fabric. Cut the fabric to a size larger than the stretcher, taking into account all the folds. Next, you should slightly moisten the material and only after that proceed to pulling on the base. Corners require special care and attention.

  Tip: first you need to stretch the long sides of the future picture, and then the short ones.

  Before fixing one of the sides, you need to make sure that the material is not crumpled and not crushed.

  

  

  

  1. That's all - the modular picture is ready. By the same principle, you can make a photo decoration for the interior.

  Fountain with ideas, create and get up - let the interior paintings made with your own hands please not only you, but also amaze, surprise, delight guests! The stylish interior of the kitchen and the whole house is the merit of enterprising owners who are not afraid to experiment.

Decor completes the design of the home, but it also begins, perhaps, the most exciting and creative stage. In modern interior solutions, it has become fashionable to replace purchased elements with ones created by oneself. The handmade technique is becoming overwhelmingly popular. Gizmos are not only made for themselves, but also given to loved ones, and especially talented craftsmen even sell their works. If open shelves can be made with souvenirs brought from travels and cute little things (vases, figurines), then decorating the walls is sometimes confusing. Usually a layer of putty is applied to their surface, and then plaster or wallpaper. However, "solid" walls, albeit with a beautiful coating, still seem "bare" and create a feeling of incompleteness.

Unusual decoration will be paintings for the interior, made by hand. They will transform the home environment and add creative touches to the decoration of the room. The most famous and complex technique for creating paintings, which first comes to mind, is painting. The art of drawing images with paints is not for everyone, but there are a number of other options, one of which talent can wake up completely unexpectedly. Original pictures can be obtained from improvised materials: fabric, cereals, flowers, twigs, leather, beads, paper, accessories, threads. There are a lot of techniques for creating genuine masterpieces, and the creative process is so exciting that it will drag you into a whirlpool.

Where to start and where to look for inspiration

You are on fire with the idea of ​​creating a picture with your own hands, but you are completely lost and do not know which end to untie this knot from. Try to go into the room where the canvas is supposed to be placed. The very atmosphere of the room, its decoration should inspire the right thoughts, or at least set the vector. Choose a wall to hang the picture on. Evaluate the color scheme, textures of materials, the play of light. Close your eyes and try to draw a sketch in your mind. If you stood like a pillar in the middle of the room, but could not come up with anything, then it's time to turn to the works of other authors for help. Other people's art objects sometimes become a storehouse of interesting ideas.

Learn the technique, determine the level of complexity of the work you like, select the necessary materials. But, perhaps, the most important thing is to correctly assess your capabilities and talents as a decorator. If your level is below average, close to the initial, then it is better to test the pen on simple options. One desire is not enough, the full set also includes talent and skill. If the latter comes with time after persistent practical training, then the absence of a gift cannot be fully compensated by diligence. The muse, as you know, is a lady with character and does not come at the first call. The sacrament of her call does not involve special rites. Each person has their own sources of inspiration, but most of us draw it from nature: its smells, sounds and sights. Be it a tree, a flower bouquet, bird trills, the aroma of freshly cut grass, the play of sunlight on the windows or tentacles of mist on a morning field. This source of inspiration is inexhaustible. You can always fall for it.

Ways to create a picture

There are a lot of methods for creating paintings. Every year there are new original techniques. Popular methods include:

• Silhouette paintings;
• Glass or eggshell mosaic technique;
• Volumetric compositions;
• Pictures from beads, cabochons, shibori ribbons, crystals, sequins;
• Styrofoam images;
• Illuminated decor;
• Images from shreds of fabric, ribbons and accessories;
• Threads and cloves as a base;
• Compositions from grains, cereals and legumes;
• Eco-friendly products made from natural materials;
• Herbariums on paper;
• Embroidery.

This is a list of only popular methods, and the entire list of their names will not fit on several pages. Any material can be used in different ways, and each result will be completely different from the finished composition created in another technique. Most of the work will require only scissors, a stationery knife, needles and glue. A basic set of tools can be found in every home.

Light paintings look spectacular at night, they also serve as decorative lamps. Prepare a template with a picture. Each element is cut out separately and its contours are transferred to a sheet of plastic. It is not recommended to use a completely transparent material, but a dense MDF sheet will not work either. Find an average option that will let light through. The picture should have several levels for a three-dimensional effect, so the composition of plastic parts is divided into layers. Styrofoam ribbons are laid between them. All layers are glued to each other and to the base. After drying, it is inserted into the frame. On the reverse side, a special groove for the wire is cut out in it. Then, an RGB tape is stretched around the perimeter. The groove is necessary for the output of the controller. The picture is ready to appreciate its beauty, just turn off the light and press a couple of buttons on the remote control.

Twenty years ago, these works became a new word in art. You will need a wooden base, small cloves, a hammer and thread. First, of course, you need to put a sketch on the canvas. Then carnations are hammered along its contour. The distance between them usually does not exceed 0.5 cm. The closer the carnations are to each other, the less "voids" are formed in the picture. It is advised to start with simple forms to fill your hand. Then they take the first thread, carefully fasten it and begin to wrap each carnation. Individual modules are made in different colors. In another technique, thick woolen threads are used. They begin to be glued to the base with the printed pattern. The end of the thread is attached to the center of the element and begin to wrap it around it, forming concentric circles. Finished canvases are soft, voluminous and pleasant to the touch.

Stylish silhouette paintings

Perhaps this is the best option for those who can only draw flowers on the back pages of notebooks. Paintings-silhouettes are universal and resemble both classical styles and modern ones. They are made of paper, use paints or a marker. To make such an element, it is enough to prepare the source. The sample is transferred to the canvas on its own or duplicated from the template, and then painted over. In order to get a silhouette portrait for the source from an ordinary portrait, you need to adjust the contrast settings in any simple Photoshop program.

To create eco-pictures, any natural materials are used: pieces of wood, twigs, stones, blades of grass, leaves, moss. The components are glued to a dense base and placed in a frame. Triptychs consisting of several modules look unusual and beautiful. For example, the decor is based on three colors: gray, black and purple. Take dry branches and divide each across into three parts. The lowest "bundle" is tightly fastened with a thread. It is painted purple, glued to a black canvas and surrounded by a gray frame. The next module will be slightly smaller. Inside the purple frame, the second part of the black twigs is placed on a gray canvas, which serves as a continuation of the previous composition. The last module consists of "tops". The twigs are painted grey, placed in a black frame on a purple canvas. The triptych is placed vertically with an offset to one side. It is not recommended to close such a composition with glass, since its relief looks natural and organic. You can decorate a bedroom or a hall with peculiar moss paintings. Art object will bring harmony to the room, make it more peaceful.

Paperwork is represented by many techniques. In recent years, quilling has experienced a real "boom": creating images using ribbons twisted in a special way. The finished product turns out to be voluminous, and masters who have filled their hands can recreate huge canvases with precision in small details. You can also make a relief coating from papier-mâché (soaked paper pulp). The canvas is painted on top and placed in a frame. Separate elements are created from the material using the origami technique, which are then glued to the base. Modular paintings look great from small paper pieces folded into three-dimensional triangles or squares using the same technique.

For products of this type, perhaps the shortest master class. All that is required for work is the base, cereals (you can not limit yourself to legumes) and glue. A sketch of the drawing is applied to the canvas. Then its individual parts are smeared with glue, and a loose decor is applied on top of it. You can use not only chickpeas or peas, but also pasta, rice, buckwheat, coffee beans and even salt.

Foam sheets are made in two popular techniques. Both types use foam plastic solely as a base, which requires fabric to decorate. The first method will allow you to create abstractions that emphasize the features of the interior with complex geometry. Solid pieces of fabric with various patterns are applied to the foam plastic of a special shape (usually square). The canvas is cut along the edges, which are wrapped to the back of the base and fixed on it (paper clips or glue). These paintings do not need frames. Compositions from several canvases usually flaunt on the wall. Another technique - kinusaiga - will require more patience. A drawing is applied to the foam base with a pencil. Start with simple geometric patterns. Then the contour is carried out with a clerical knife. Fabric patches slightly larger than the element itself are applied to it. Their edges are pressed into the cuts with a thin, flat tool (metal ruler, nail file) so that there are no wrinkles on the surface. After a simple picture is ready, you can try more complex images with “torn” features.
It's important to know. The kinusaiga technique, as the name suggests, originated in Japan. Usually, fabrics from old kimonos, which are not customary to be thrown away, were reused in this way.

To create three-dimensional canvases, any materials that have a relief are used. However, paintings made of silk ribbons, leather and foamiran look more elegant. The better the element will keep its shape, the easier it is to compose the composition. Leather can make very neat pictures. Separate pieces of fabric are simply glued to the base, while maintaining folds for volume. Luxurious bouquets are created from silk ribbons. The advantage of the material is its pliability: it is enough to fix the fabric in a certain position with threads, and it will keep it. Some achieve volume by duplicating details. Usually paper products are made. Cut out two identical elements. Several "legs" of foam are attached to the front side of one. They are glued to the wrong side of the second similar part. It turns out the effect of volume. A similar technique looks original in flat paintings, where individual sections become accented.

Almost everyone at one time collected maple leaves in autumn parks and dried especially beautiful flowers between the pages of books. Many people forgot about the "secret" and years later, the find, accidentally falling out, reminded of the times of carefree youth. Flowers and leaves for the herbarium must be dried before the harvesting process. They are placed between layers of rice paper or napkins. The material perfectly absorbs excess moisture. Then the components of the future herbarium, surrounded by several layers of cardboard, are placed under a press. About a week will be enough for high-quality drying and leveling.

Flowers and leaves are attached to the base with decoupage glue. The composition depends only on the imagination of the creator. These can be bouquets of wild flowers, decorated with silk ribbons or abstract paintings. To keep the canvas longer, it is coated with a layer of varnish or epoxy. Decorative canvases with sakura flowers on gouache-painted branches look spectacular. A similar picture can be used to decorate interiors decorated in Japanese style or minimalism.

Painting with beads and crystals

You will not surprise anyone with products made of beads and glass beads. Jewelry from them became popular thirty years ago. For work, it is better to purchase high-quality materials, of the same size, which will help to make a neat picture. The best is the Yakut beads and Japanese tono. To create accent elements, it is recommended to use cabochons of the appropriate colors. Semi-precious and precious stones are polished in a special way. As a result, they are convex, but with a flat base. Beaded pictures are embroidered. Instead of threads, it is better to use a thin fishing line: it is stronger and more reliable. Paintings with crystals are sold in sets. The standard set includes crystals in individual numbered bags, two types of tweezers, a tray for small parts, a special sticky bar into which a stick is dipped to press the "diamonds" to the canvas, and a canvas with an image printed on it. Each package contains instructions. The canvas is pre-coated with a special adhesive layer that perfectly holds the crystals. The latter can be round or square. More often, the canvases are solid without voids, but sometimes they create brilliant drawings-outlines of animals, birds, people against a spectacular black background. The finished work is covered with a cloth and fixed by walking with a rolling pin over the surface with effort. The main advantage of crystal paintings is that they do not fade, unlike embroidery, and will retain their original appearance even after years.

Beaded decor should also be done according to the finished scheme. It can be found on the Internet or bought in special stores for needlewomen.

Paintings on fabric

Fabric paintings are usually made from scraps. Begin work by stretching the canvas-base on the stretcher. The procedure is performed carefully, avoiding the formation of unnecessary folds. Then a drawing is applied to the canvas with a pencil. If you do not have the talent of an artist, then you can use the template. Even special sets are sold, where the canvas already has a pattern with numbered zones for individual colors. Then for work you will need scissors, threads, a needle and pieces of fabric. The shreds are cut out according to the shape of the element that they will “close” with a small margin and sewn to the base.

Conclusion

Pictures in the interior will become the center, the highlight of the situation. Originally made decor cannot be used as a background, it will attract other people's views. Having tried themselves as a decorator once, many are not limited to this and continue creative experiments. When the scale of works goes beyond satisfying a personal need for decoration, they begin to give them to loved ones, and then even sell them as author's paintings.

Not every person decides to hang beautiful pictures in their own kitchen. And this despite the fact that designers highly recommend decorating the kitchen with their own hands.

Paintings for the kitchen (photo)

Each interior should have its own zest, and often the simplest and most elegant option to bring originality to the room is a picture.

But how do you find what will decorate your bedroom, living room or other room? Most likely, for the author's work, you will have to pay a large amount of money.

But if you do not count on additional expenses, but you still want to have something original, then it is quite possible to make an interesting picture with your own hands.

However, you don't have to be good at drawing. After all, paintings in the usual sense have long been replaced by three-dimensional images on the walls, abstract ideas embodied in a variety of techniques.

DIY fabric paintings

All quality canvases are made on a fabric basis. However, the modern interpretation of such paintings changes our view of art.

Modular fabric paintings have gained great popularity. But it's not that hard to make them yourself. In stores now you can find a lot of fabrics with a very beautiful, interesting and bright print.

If you liked one of them, then you can safely buy it and make an author's decor item.

Modular picture

To create such a room decoration as a modular fabric picture, you will need a base in addition to the selected material. It can even be a door from an old cabinet or a piece of chipboard, which could well be lying around somewhere in the garage after repair.

Cut out a few pieces from the base to the size of your fabric and fit the tree with it. Make sure that the fabric is well stretched and does not form wrinkles. Your painting is almost ready. It remains only to attach the hooks for which it will be attached to the wall.

Most often, such paintings consist of three or more modules, which can be either the same size or different. Their shape can also be different.

The most common and easiest to manufacture are square and rectangular elements. But there are round, oval and other forms of modules for paintings. Frames for picture modules in this case are not needed.

Pictures from clothes

Even a T-shirt can decorate your interior. It often happens that on clothes that you have not worn for so long, and their colors are still bright, stains or holes appear. You can not throw away a seemingly spoiled thing, but make an original picture out of it.

Cut out a rectangle with the image from the clothes, glue it on paper and place it in a frame. The photo shows that such paintings depicting cartoon characters will fit perfectly into the interior of a children's room.

Embroidery

In some way, embroidery can also be attributed to fabric paintings. This method of decorating the interior is not new. Even our great-grandmothers had at least one image embroidered with their own hands in the house.

However, to embroider a picture, you still need some skills and patience. This method is not suitable for everyone, but if you are engaged in needlework, then hand-embroidered pictures can say a lot about you as a hostess.

Volumetric paintings

Relief images on the wall are also very popular as decorative elements in the interior. Volumetric paintings can be made with plaster on the wall even before it is finished.

But such a decoration can only take place when it is not planned to stick wallpaper on the wall.

Note!

The method of making such paintings requires training and a considerable amount of time. Therefore, it is not suitable for everyone.

paper pictures

There is an easier way to make a 3D image. To do this, you will need colored paper or cardboard. Cut out several figures of the same or different sizes from it. It can be, for example, butterflies.

Using pins or double-sided tape, attach them to the wall in a chaotic manner or forming some kind of pattern. Your paper painting will look more impressive if you choose a color that contrasts with the tone of the wall itself.

Butterflies themselves can also be of different colors. Such a picture will sparkle with new colors when artificial lighting is on, so it will look most advantageous in rooms where the light is turned on most often, for example, in the corridor.

If your house has a staircase to the second floor, then the kittens in different poses, placed on the wall, to which the steps adjoin, will look original.

Paintings from bushings

To make a voluminous decor with the image of flowers and leaves, toilet paper or paper towel sleeves will help. It is enough to flatten the cylinder a little and cut it into equal parts about 2-3 cm wide.

Note!

In order for the flowers to be brighter and the leaves to stand out in color even before work begins, the bushings can be painted in different colors. The individual parts of the sleeve should be placed in such a way that a flower forms, so that you can compose entire compositions.

Paintings made of artificial flowers

The easiest to make are pictures of artificial flowers or other decorative elements. The main thing here is to beautifully glue the finished parts to the base.

For this technique, you will need a frame, solid material and the actual image itself. Wrap a sheet of paper with a cloth, wrapping its edges and gluing it on the back.

Then, after removing the glass from the frame, insert the base of your picture into it and glue artificial flowers or other details (shells, dry twigs, etc.) to it. At the end, you can decorate the frame with beads.

If you already have a finished canvas, then there are many master classes on how to decorate a picture that has already bothered you and thereby update the interior.

Note!

A flat image of nature or still life can look completely different if you attach a few volumetric details to it.

It can be either an image cut out of paper or natural materials in the form of dry leaves or even butterflies.
