Technology of making a panel in the form of a heart
Figure 1.A large heart-shaped wall panel will become a stylish element of living room decor. First, you should prepare a large number of hearts of different sizes from designer cardboard. In order to get one flower, you should cut out 8 hearts, but it is not necessary to prepare a number of hearts that is a multiple of eight, since incomplete flowers will also be needed in the work. Each heart should be folded in half. If you are using not ordinary paper, but designer cardboard or something similar with a more impressive density, it is preferable to use a ruler when bending. After this, you need to apply glue to one of the outer halves of the element. The workpiece must be attached to the place on the base where you intend to form a flower. The element should be pressed well, which will allow it to be fixed well. Using the same technology, you will have to strengthen the remaining petals to get a flower. Now you can fix the remaining flowers on the base, but small flowers will help to form the contours of the heart, and you can use not only whole ones, but also those that have several petals. In conclusion of filling the empty space, small flowers should be attached to the surface. The flowers can be supplemented with figured holes made with a hole punch. Beads, which can be attached to the base of the panel, will also be an interesting solution. The main element can be not only a heart, but also a tree, the crown of which will be the same blanks bent in half. The trunk can be made of cardboard using a template.

Textile decor in a frame
Figure 2. Template for making a heart panel.You can decorate the wall by making your own crafts in the form of textile decor, which can be combined, for example, with curtains or upholstery of upholstered furniture. This will bring coziness to the house. A lush flower made of knitted stripes or a chamomile made of triangular petals can serve as the basis for such decoration. To carry out the work, you will need to prepare:
- three frames;
- cardboard;
- fabric for the background;
- scissors;
- knitwear;
- dense fabric;
- glue;
- paint;
- double sided tape.
Before making such a craft with your own handsThe frames should be covered with paint. It is better to use an acrylic composition in a spray can, since such application allows you to achieve an even layer. In order not to spoil the finish of the floor or walls, it is preferable to carry out work outdoors, lay out the prepared frames on an old piece of rag. In the process of applying paint, you should strive to ensure that all sides of the frames are painted. Rectangles should be cut out of cardboard, which can be replaced with corrugated cardboard, which will correspond to the size of the frames. At the same time, they should be slightly smaller than the frames themselves, since the rectangles will go under them. Then you need to take a piece of fabric, lay it down, turning the front side down. You need to put a cardboard back on it. The fabric should be folded over the back of the back and secured there with double-sided tape, but glue will be a more reliable fastening.
Figure 3.To make a decorative flower, you need to take a button and decorative paper. The back needs to be put into a frame, secured with nails or other fasteners that are included with the frames. The same actions need to be done with the other frames. Now you can start making a textile flower with individual petals, as in Fig. 3. To make such a craft with your own hands, you should cut out 12 petals from fairly thick fabric. On one side, they need to be given a rounded shape, and on the other - cut off the end. At the cut base, you need to fold each petal in half and fix it with glue. From these triangular petals, you need to lay out a flower on the surface of the decorated back of the frame. Each element must be secured with glue. The central part needs to be twisted and glued. In order to make a wall panel with your own hands, the basis of which will be a rose made in the form of a curl, you should prepare several strips of fabric. The strip should be folded in half, twisting the curl, turning the fold upward. The curl should be loosened a little to create space between the walls. In this form, the element should be fixed to the back with glue. Leaves can be cut out of the fabric, bending them in half at the base. Each of these elements must be glued at the bottom and glued to the main element. For another frame, you can prepare a lush rose. For it, you will need strips of stretch fabric. The strip should be twisted, and its end treated with glue and tied in a knot. The strip should be twisted until you get something like a flower. At the end, the resulting element should be glued to the back. This way, you can get three panels, each of which will have an original flower as a basis with a background in the form of fabric of the same color. This set can be placed on different walls of one room or on one in different variations - diagonally or in a row. Return to contents</a>
Corrugated board decor
The basis of the decor can be cardboard from boxes,which will have to be disassembled before starting work. Using bowls, you can depict circles on the blanks, which will then have to be cut out. The largest element will be the basis of the decor. Next, you will have to make flowers from the circles by cutting out the petals. After placing one flower on top of another, you will be able to get a three-dimensional picture. You can also use ordinary cardboard, then the decor will not be so voluminous, but it will be acceptable to place accents using paints. When painting, it is most convenient to use acrylic paint in spray cans. After applying, the elements must be left for 20 minutes, this will be enough for drying. Application can be done in two layers. After everything is ready, the elements can be connected together with glue. On the back side, you should attach a rope to fix it to the wall.</ ul> </ ul>
