After the repair just done, I so want to decorate the apartment or house, creating coziness and a unique atmosphere. Of course, you can buy paintings or hang photographs on the wall in expensive frames that you bought in luxury boutiques or ateliers .... However, there is little to compare with the things done by your own hands. Even after years, they keep the warmth and care of the person who created this masterpiece. Try to make a panel of fabric, and you will understand how easy and pleasant it is to decorate the house yourself! It can be done in several ways, but we will consider the simplest one available to a person who has never encountered needlework.
Types of panels
If you decide to make a
panel on the wall, then there are a lot of options for the materials from which it can be made! In any case, you will need a frame and fabric on the base. And then it all depends on your imagination! You can make an
applique from fabric or leather, use natural plant materials or beads. You can even make panels of buttons! Just allow yourself to create, and you yourself will be surprised what magnificent and original things will start to turn out!
Fabric panel
This panel can be done very quickly, but it looks just fine with the right material. When choosing fabric, try to harmonize with the color of furniture, curtains or carpet. Or just a beautiful pattern,
decorating the room and giving the room color and style. After you have decided on the fabric, you can do the frame. This is one of the most critical stages of work. The frame should be strong, smooth. The surface is necessarily smoothly sanded, otherwise after you pull the fabric, all defects and irregularities of the frame will be visible in full view. All cracks should be puttied, then the frame should be thoroughly sanded again, and corners should be strengthened with brackets if necessary.
Now you can pull the prepared fabric. It should be washed and dried first. After that, it may slightly decrease in size. If not, then at least the finished panel from the fabric will be clean and beautiful. We iron the matter, and then we pull it very carefully onto the frame. We fix it with a thermal gun. Additionally, you can fix using staples from the stapler. We make sure that not the slightest fold or crease of tissue is formed on the outside. This will spoil the entire appearance of the panel. That's it. The glue is dry, the panels can be hung on the wall or given to friends as a housewarming gift!
Panel of shreds of fabric
This panel is made in the same way as the previous one, but instead of a whole piece of fabric, you sew individual pieces to fit the finished product. You can immediately connect the various elements according to the selected drawing, that is, make the so-called “stitched picture”. If this presents a certain difficulty for you, then prepare the fabric of the required size, and then using a thermal gun just stick the pieces in the form of an application. Draw in advance the contours of the future sketch, and then it will be much easier for you! It is very simple to make a panel of fabric, and the result is worth the effort!
