We create a panel from natural material with our own hands

Decorate your home, make it cozy and give it an individual, non-standard look - our natural desire. But what if there is no time for cross-stitching, rug weaving or decoupage, and complex techniques - like sawing, embossing or beading - require special knowledge and tools? There is an exit! Anyone can make panels from natural material with their own hands, and the effects can be simply amazing! Suffice it to mention that both venerable artists and designers do not neglect this kind of creativity.

Learning by imitating

This is the easiest way. Walk through art galleries, clubs, cafes, bars. Pay attention to the trends: do-it-yourself panels made of natural materials are increasingly decorating the walls of such establishments, giving them originality. What is the beautysuch decorations? Just because they are unique. It is impossible to find absolutely identical pebbles, branches, shells. But it's always worth looking into the idea. By the way, artists often decorate various establishments by hanging wall panels made of natural material for a reason. After all, visitors pay attention to the decor, to the decor - and they can buy the thing they like. Such a "functional" gallery is also one of the new trends in exhibition art. Keep this in mind when you want to sell your natural material decorative panel.

Preparation steps

After looking at the works of others, we go … to the forest, to the field, to the meadow, to the beach. Who likes what. Ecostyle in art is good because the "raw materials" for works can be found literally under your feet. A trained eye will immediately pay attention to the original coloring of the stones, to the bizarre bending of the twigs, to the outlandish patterns of the tree bark. We stock up on everything that we liked - and go home. How to fix parts for panels made of natural material? When assembling the entire composition with your own hands, you need to make sure that the joints are invisible. Large parts (pieces of bark, branches) are usually not glued, but are attached to a thin wire. In the substrate - and it can be canvas, wood, plywood, thick cardboard - holes are made. A twine or metal wire is inserted into them, a part is tied (which can also be imperceptibly pierced) and tightened from the back. Light elements (leaves,dried flowers) can be sewn or glued with a special thin gun.

Frame

The finished composition - that is, our hand-made panel made of natural material - will most likely hang on the wall.

If the parts are large, without varnishing, sanding, and the base is a board or a saw cut of a tree, they not only can not be framed, but you should not do it. Otherwise, you can lose the bizarre shape of the background itself and its natural beauty. If the whole composition is created from small, elegant, lacy fragments (for example, dried flowers, leaves, small shells, sand), then the frame will give it a finished look. Its color will depend on the dominant shades in the panel. It can be selected by contrast or by the principle of halftones. Most often, a simple wooden frame is chosen, which can also be decorated with applications or painted. Wall panels made from natural materials can also be made on felt, on dense fabric, or you can make them openwork - without a background.
