Do-it-yourself beautiful panel made of natural materials
You can create such a wall decoration if you take:
- canvas on cardboard;
- palette knife;
- embossed paste;
- semi-matt acrylic varnish;
- acrylic paints: green, gold, brown, magenta;
- synthetic brush;
- various natural materials.
Lay out the cleaned, dried elements of the painting on the canvas.
So that you don't forget where that will be, take a picture of how you decomposed natural materials.
Free the canvas and apply the paste to it with a palette knife. Where large objects will then be located, put the paste thicker, in a layer of 0.5 cm. This composition will help you create the relief of the sky and water.
In order to further make a beautiful panel with your own hands, you need to put natural materials back in, looking at the photo created before. Make the horizon lines by putting thin twigs or other elements here. At the edge in the foreground, place larger twigs to create a forest out of them. Place the leaves at the top, and at the bottom, where the water will be, put flat stones.
All these elements need to be pressed into the embossed paste so that they are fixed.
To remove air from under the leaves, brush over each leaf with a wide brush from the middle to the edges.
Remove the panel until the next day to dry it out. Then paint the surface with ivory acrylic paint. After applying the first coat, wait a little, cover with a second coat. Let it dry as well. In the meantime, you will place in a glass, blue, brown paint and a cuff. Dilute with water. Stir and fill the groove and cracks in the relief with this composition to get volume.
Take a semi-dry brush and use it to apply accents with white paint. Now cover some of the work areas with gold paint.
Using sandpaper, go over the places where the sky and water are depicted to make the necessary strokes.
Now cover the work with acrylic varnish. After it dries, the beautiful panel is ready.
Rustic panel technique
To create such a miracle, take:
- wooden frame 10 by 15 or 10 by 10 cm;
- a flap of linen fabric;
- canvas for the background;
- decorative or dollware made of clay;
- round and flat ice cream sticks;
- beans;
- cereals;
- seeds;
- plastic fruits and vegetables;
- transparent glue Titanium or Moment or hot glue;
- thermoplastic;
- cardboard and photo frame.
Cover the frame with fabric, attach a sheet of cardboard on the back, on which the loops will be fixed, to hang your masterpiece.
Cut an 8 x 10 cm rectangle from the linen cloth, sew a bag for cereals. Make a second blank and fill them with white paper. You can also use cotton wool.
Take decorative wooden barrels and cut them in half. And cut the wicker basket in half. To keep this part in shape, glue a strip of cardboard on the back, and also attach them in the corners and one at the bottom.
If you do not have small decorative or dollware, cut the containers out of the egg tray. Then they will need to be painted to make them look like ceramic.
To achieve a rustic flavor when you use the panel techniques, paint the cardboard blank first with yellow and then brown on top, but so that the yellow shines through. Now take a round ice cream stick and saw off to make a piece of sufficient length. And glue it to the top of the composition to create a kind of shelf.
Take other ice cream sticks that look like spatulas, break off the tips of two using nippers, then you need to grind these blanks.
Using available glue, attach these parts in place.
Pour cereals and seeds into bags of paper on top. To prevent these elements from spilling out, fix them with glue. Put various containers, artificial fruits on the shelf, hang a garland of pepper on the side.
You can decorate the panel in a different way. To do this, you still need to make a thermoplastic pumpkin.
You can also make a tea set from this material. Glue its elements to the shelf. Create bagels, bread from plastic, and lace and napkins will also be an excellent decoration for a rustic panel.
You can cut off a few twigs, which will turn into cinnamon sticks after staining. Tie them with linen rope and glue them in place. This picture of rural life looks pacifying.
If you show even more imagination, then the panel techniques representing the rustic comfort can be like that.
Also use thick cardboard as a base, you can take a sheet of hardboard. Cut out the components of the bouquet from cardboard, glue them in place. Make an appetizing pie and cake out of plastic, place them on a table made of cardboard and covered with a tablecloth.
Choose curtains that match the color, also trim them with lace. The decor for cardboard stools is made in the same style. A twisted rope will become a broom. Complete the interior details for such cozy beauty.
A beautiful panel glorifying rural life can be created as follows.
The basis here is burlap, the stove is made of cardboard, decorated with pictures. You will glue these little pads to the top of the stove, where the bed is. Make a rooster, pumpkin, pot out of plastic. And turn the halves of small plastic jars into containers for bulk products, into which you pour legumes or cereals.
You can also make a panel by making significant parts from salted dough. From it you will create such a colorful couple, which can be the heroes of Gogol's work "Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka".
When the dough is dry, color in the elements of this racy pair. From the fabric you need to make clothes for them, glue it in place. Create windows from cardboard, decorating them with a canvas that looks like towels. Make dishes out of plastic, you can also create kitchen utensils from it.

Decoupage technique for creating a panel with your own hands
On the eve of winter, you can advise to make a picture on a plate, turning it into a frosty window.
Take:
- alabaster;
- a mold for casting plaster;
- water;
- capacity;
- acrylic paints;
- crystal paste;
- acrylic lacquer;
- PVA glue;
- glitters and outlines.
In this case, a plate was cast from alabaster. To do this, you need to use a form. A cake lid or other container with hard sides is suitable for it.
First, see how to make a plaster cast. To do this, you will need to take a suitable container, such as a plastic mayonnaise bucket. Put some gypsum in here and add a little tap water. It should be warm. Stir to get a homogeneous sour cream consistency. Now you need to immediately pour it into the mold. If you will be making a similar blank, then use a regular plastic plate, pouring liquid gypsum here. Then you will need to wait until the workpiece is completely dry and remove it from the mold. Here's what happens.
These are the forms for the panel, but what kind of gypsum casting will turn out in them.
To make the liquid alabaster set faster, place the mold on a warm battery to dry. Then the casting will harden in half an hour. But this is if its thickness is about one and a half centimeters. But you cannot still use such a casting, you need to let it dry for a day.
Sand the back of the plaster plate with sandpaper.
Take the matched napkin, separate the top layer from it and glue the napkin on the PVA. To attach it and not tear it, use the file.
Now apply two or three more coats of varnish over the napkin. When it's dry, look for wrinkles. If present, sand them gently. Use fine sandpaper for this. Since part of the plate is not covered with a napkin, you can paint it in a suitable shade.
As you can see, a white tone has been applied around the circle. This creates the effect as if the viewer is looking out of a snow-covered window onto the street. But to make the snow even more reliable, it is necessary to apply crystal paste on the rims of such a panel. The pictures show what the effect will be. But first, dry the work for a day, then apply a little more "snow" with a white outline, and on the crystal paste draw some strokes with glitter.
Here is such an interesting panel on a plate. If you want to hang it on the wall, then carefully drill a hole at the top using a thin drill. Thread the thread here and tie it in a loop. You can just put such work upright on the shelf and admire.
This is how you can make a panel from various materials.
