Panel from leftover wallpaper in the living room

To make panels, no special skills or precise design calculations are required. You also need a minimum of tools. The production itself takes place in three stages: preparation, main part and decoration.

Preparatory stage

Before you start creating a wall panel, you should think about it in advance. appearance and location. The resources needed for its manufacture will depend on this. Here it will be a simple wallpaper panel for a small kitchen.

Modular panel made from pieces of wallpaper

At this stage, all materials and tools are prepared. To create a simple panel you will need some kind of base and decorative elements for it. Let it be a large sheet of chipboard and part of the wallpaper. Then the tools you will need are sandpaper, a regular saw and glue.

The main part of making wallpaper panels

After all the components of the panel are assembled together, you can move on to the main stage. On it, the workpiece should be given the required shape. In our case, the wallpaper panel will consist of four plates, each of which is in the shape of an isosceles triangle.

Accordingly, to begin with, on the sheets of chipboard you need to draw the outlines of the shapes along which the cut will be made. After this you can cut out four triangular plates. Next, combine them with each other, checking the mutual sizes. In case of discrepancy, saw off individual parts so that everything is even.

Now you should mark the necessary contour of the wallpaper for individual parts for subsequent gluing. To do this, you should attach the blank to the roll, and then redraw it in four copies, and then cut out the desired shape. With this approach, the wallpaper will turn out to be slightly larger than the plates themselves. This is not scary, because after sticking they can be cut off. But with a smaller wallpaper size, there will be gaps on the plate that will not be so easy to fill.

The workpiece is completed, you can begin processing. The cut areas should be sanded down with sandpaper so that the side edges of the plates become even. Additionally, you can round the corners of the joints.

After this, you should prepare the surface of all panels for wallpapering. The area must first be degreased and free from unevenness. This can also be done using sandpaper. If the surface of the workpiece is curved, the wallpaper on it will look uneven. And such a situation should be avoided.

An important aspect of the product is the installation method. In the case of the resulting wallpaper panel, it can be attached to the kitchen wall using double-sided tape. It will withstand a lot of crafts and will last quite a long time. If the panel is planned to be made of heavier materials, then a system of brackets or something similar should be attached to it. In this case, you need to build separate elements into the wall in order to hang the craft on them. Here you need to be careful; the unreliable fastening may not withstand the excessively heavy weight. And the massive panel will end up on the floor, possibly breaking something along the way.

Decoration stage

The production of the product will be completed by applying a sticker to the wallpaper panel. Since the piece is already cut, it's a simple matter of attaching it. No special glue is needed for these purposes. You can use just a little Moment or apply a layer of PVA. Any other wallpaper adhesive will also work. The main thing is to use it according to the instructions without applying too much.

You should take into account the fact that when glued to PVA, thin wallpaper can become transparent. For this reason, it is better to take thicker ones or use glue that does not give such an effect. Classic for wallpaper is the best option. However, it will take a long time to dry.

After the decoration is glued onto the plates, the product is ready. Now all that remains is to place the wallpaper panel on the kitchen wall. Individual panels can be glued with double-sided tape with arrows facing outward or inward. A more fanciful composition is also possible.

As a result, the kitchen is decorated with a cozy product that the owner of the house made himself. By analogy with the methods described above, step by step, you can create any decorative crafts type of panel that can decorate the walls of your home. It doesn’t take much time, but it gives positive emotions.

Contemplating a composition you have compiled yourself brings more pleasure than installing a ready-made one.
