Romance and decor
With your own hands to create decorations for the interior, a romantic dinner or a holiday is quite simple. All are made from affordable, affordable materials that are easy to buy. You can decorate everything: walls, floor, furniture, table, cooked snacks. Based on any idea, you can improve it.
How to make edible decoration
Beautifully designed table for a romantic dinner and make spectacular snacks will help carving. It is an artistic carving of decorative objects from food. Most often they use vegetables and fruits, less often fish, greens. As for tools, special knives are used. As a first experience, try to do something simple with improvised means. The only important point is that the knives must be sharpened sharply. Do-it-yourself romance and decoration is very simple. The main thing is to show imagination and creativity.
Try to make a flower arrangement from vegetables, a heart, or cut out the name of a loved one on a watermelon or melon.
Easier to work with solid homogeneous objects. You can use the most common and affordable things - raw potatoes, carrots, apples, cucumbers.
Mirror Decor
A special atmosphere of romance is created by the numerous reflections of lamps and candles in glossy reflective surfaces. Mirrors are best suited for this purpose. They can decorate a bedroom or a meeting room in a very original and unusual way. Arrange several mirrors of different sizes so that they can be seen in the reflection of candles and your silhouettes.
In this case, the mirrors play the role of interior objects, and do not serve the direct functional purpose. You will not straighten your hair and do makeup looking in them, so beautiful decor is quite appropriate.
The reflective surface itself may be small. Beauty and romance will be created by the frame. It is performed using decoupage technique, decorating with hearts, romantic images of couples in love, flowers, butterflies. Ready-made wide frames with mirrors and drawings that are applied to the surface are sold. To master this technique is not difficult, and the result will be worth the effort.
On a mirror without a frame, you can independently apply a picture with paints and a brush. Stained glass sets or even ordinary gouache pigments are suitable.
The most effective method of decorating glass and, in particular, mirrors is sandblasting, when the drawing is applied by a jet of sand emerging under pressure from the nozzle. In fact, it scratches on the surface. The technique is not very complicated, but requires certain skills and equipment. If we talk about a simple way to simulate sandblasting at home, it is easiest to do this with paint or applying a matting composition on a stencil. The sequence of actions will be as follows:
- Clean and degrease the surface.
- Apply self-adhesive film.
- Draw the desired pattern on it (monograms, heart, names, initials).
- Cut out the contours.
- Paint over the inside of the stencil.
- After the composition dries, remove the film, clean the impurities with alcohol.
The romantic decor of the mirror made in this way perfectly complements any room.
Volumetric letters
Nowadays, do-it-yourself interior decorations are fashionable. To add romance to a room, holiday or intimate dinner, make an original volumetric inscription that can be hung on a wall, put on a table, back of a sofa or even placed on the floor. Performing such home decor is easy. You will need the following:
- thick paper, cardboard;
- scissors, knife, pencil, brushes, paints, glue;
- surface decoration material (fabric, designer paper);
- backlight.
Text ideas might be:
- traditional "LOVE";
- "I LOVE YOU", where the second word replaces the heart;
- "Sasha + Masha", where your names are indicated;
- "May you live happily ever after";
- initials.
It all depends on your imagination, relationships with your loved one and sense of humor. You can choose a phrase with a touch of eroticism or any other that you two understand.
So, we make a romantic decor with our own hands. Volumetric ideas and their implementation may vary. The meaning of the actions is as follows:
- From paper, cardboard, plastic or other suitable material available, make a frame. Letters are made in the thickness of the base or in the form of "boxes" that have a front, back wall and side connecting surface.
- Glue every element of the text with decorative materials.
- In letters, you can cut holes or make the front wall transparent so that the bulbs installed inside light up the text. It is easiest to take a ready-made Christmas garland and place it inside the volume letters.
Illumination can be done from the outside by putting candles. However, such an inscription will look beautiful and spectacular and apart.
Paper hearts
The most affordable and easy to process material is paper. From it you can make a wonderful romantic decor. The style of design or the technique of iris folding will help you with this. Its meaning is that the cut out certain form is filled with beautiful pieces of designer, textured or simply bright colored paper. Made hearts can be glued to the wall or hung from the ceiling.
Scrapbooking
It is also a paper method. This is usually how romantic photo albums are made out. In addition to different types of paper, voluminous stickers, ribbons, small eyelets (rings) and other decorative elements are used. So you can make a frame for a photo, and a panel on the wall, and a postcard, and any other object. In fact, romance and decoration with your own hands are created very simply and from available materials. Show your imagination and put your feelings into the manufactured product.
