Majority design interiors unites one drawback - lack of warmth and home comfort... Of course, over time new interior it will take on a habitable look and pleasant little things for the owners will appear in it, but only handmade decor can become a real decoration.
In this article, we will tell you how to make a panel on a wall made of wood, and describe two methods of making it, and you can already choose which option is closer and more pleasant to you.
Two different wall panels
Wall panels are a decorative element designed to create thematic and semantic accents in the interior. Sometimes even the smallest panel can say more about its owner than a carefully crafted design.
You can make a panel from any available materials: paper, glass (see Glass panels on the wall: how to make and hang them correctly) and even pieces of wallpaper. The soul invested in the product is much more important, and of course, the sense of style. In fact, there are no restrictions on the appearance of the panel, but we will tell you about two ways how you can make them yourself and not infringe on the family budget.
All the wooden panels on the wall presented below will not require any specific knowledge and skills from you, moreover, you will not even need an ingenious set of tools. You will probably find everything you need at home, and even if not, then in a hardware store the price will be no more than a hundred rubles. So let's start in order.
A very original and stylish wood panel on the wall, which can be made in just a few hours.
To make it, we need the following set of tools:
- Hacksaw... It is advisable to use a hacksaw with a blade for metal work. It has smaller teeth and, accordingly, there will be no video chipping.
- Miter box... A tool that allows you to cut workpieces at an angle of 45 degrees. We will need it to make a frame or baguette.
- Hot melt glue gun. By the way, you can do without it if you use not thermal glue, but simple PVA.
- Brushes for varnish or paint... It is advisable to take more expensive brushes, since hairs do not come out of them during work, and you do not have to choose them, then carefully choose.
Well, that's basically all. Although you can also include a drill or a perforator in this list, we will need them not for making the panel, but for mounting it on the wall.
Now that we have figured out the tool, it's time to prepare the materials we need, and here we have a full flight of imagination:
- Branches of different thickness. It is important that the branches are as diverse as possible. Originality and originality will directly depend on this. appearance our panel.
- As a basis for our panel, we need a sheet of thick cardboard or chipboard. It doesn't really matter what the backing is made of, as it will be completely hidden under the decorative layer.
- Wooden slats with decorative carvings or baguette. We will need them to make the frame. If you have any ideas on how to make it, feel free to use it. Originality is very interesting.
Advice! If you use a chipboard sheet as a substrate, and PVA as an adhesive, use the side of the sheet that does not have a glossy finish. This will set the glue much better, and decorative elements will not slide off the base.
So, first of all we need to make a frame. What size is your wooden panel on the wall does not matter at all. It all depends on personal preference.
The miter box will help to cut the corner exactly. We just put a rail in it and use a hacksaw to cut it along the tool stops. Thanks to the miter box, the corners will be even, and the diagonal of the frame will be accurate.
Now we lay out the frame face down, and apply glue to the joints. It will dry out for a rather long time, and at the same time, the parts will have to be constantly held, so it is more convenient to use hot melt glue, which hardens in just a few minutes after application.
When the frame is dry, attach the backing to it from the inside. This can be done with a construction stapler or small nails.
The base is ready, and it's time to tackle the essentials. And first of all, we need to cut the dimes from the branches different sizes... It is unnecessary to strictly observe the thickness of the heel, the more varied they are, the more natural the panel will look.
First of all, we place the largest dimes on the canvas. They should not stand close to each other, it is advisable to place them in different parts canvases. Now we take the smaller dimes, and place them just as randomly. Last but not least, there are the smallest cuts, which completely fill all the voids on our canvas.
Look at the work of your hands from the side. All good? Then you can start gluing them. We carefully take each patch and put glue on it, after which we return it to its place.
After all the elements are glued, it remains only to wait for the glue to dry, and as an additional decoration, you can apply a layer of transparent varnish to the entire composition, which will emphasize all the nuances of the wood and make the picture glossy and shiny. That's all, our panel is ready, it remains to hang it on the wall and enjoy the result, and in the meantime we move on to the next, no less interesting option.
Panel-ikebana
Ikebana is the Japanese art of creating artistic compositions from various plants. Strictly speaking, our panel cannot be called ikebana, since it implies a three-dimensional composition, and a wall panel is a two-dimensional composition. But this is not so important, the main thing is that we will use tree branches as materials, and such a work looks very original.
So, we need a frame or a baguette. We have already described its production in the previous section, there will be nothing new here.
Any material can be used as a basis, and it can be colored to give a certain style. We will not give any advice on this, as well as on the placement of branches in the composition.
It all depends entirely on your imagination, but there are some general tips and tricks that must be followed when making such a wooden panel on the wall:
- Be sure to cover the branches with paint or varnish.... So they will last much longer, and most importantly, they will not lose their appearance.
- If you are using barked branches in your composition, be sure to clean the small area where the glue will be applied.... This is necessary in order to ensure reliable adhesion to the surface and so that our work simply does not crumble.
- If you decide to paint the backing, do not use nitro paint for this.... It will quickly lose its color and the panel will peel off. A good option there will be car paint in aerosol cans.
- Shoe nails can be used as fasteners instead of glue.... They are very small in themselves, and when hammered, their caps will not be visible.
Important! Never work with spray paint indoors and without personal protective equipment. It is best to go outside for this work, but if this is not possible, then at least put on a respirator and open all the windows in the house for ventilation.
As you can see, the process is very simple, but it is difficult to describe it in words, so we suggest you watch the video in this article, which shows instructions and a master class on making wall wooden panels.
And in conclusion
In fact, this is only small part what can be made of wood. A panel on a wooden wall can be so diverse that your imagination is not limited by anything. And most importantly, you shouldn't hold it back. The more extravagant your work is, the better, the more soul you will feel in it, and this is the most important thing for any work of art.
By the way, do not forget to involve your child in this process. This will not only give you the opportunity to spend time together, but will also help the baby to better feel the process of the birth of a work of art, and who knows, maybe one day he will become a famous artist, and it was you who planted his path.
Any wall decoration after renovation is boring, you want to change something and find a way to show your imagination, talent and creative skills.

Looking at the spectacular artwork in the illustrations, it may seem difficult. But if at school labor lessons, figurines from plasticine and salt dough turned out to be excellent, there is experience of working with beads or natural materials - everything will work out.
What material to choose for wall decoration

The choice of material and technique for implementing an idea depends on many factors:
- Room functionality;
- Wall decoration;
- Creative inclinations;
- Tastes and preferences;
- Availability of materials and tools;
- Skills in working with materials (sewing, knitting, modeling, weaving, drawing).
It is better to place a large panel on the entire wall in a large room, where there is a lot of empty space. The easiest way to buy a painting or to stick a wallpaper is. But there is nothing original in this, plus high costs, and the new object will soon get bored.
Another thing is your own "masterpiece", which you can proudly demonstrate to all visitors at home.
Looking at a unique work, friends and relatives will be interested in how to make such a panel with their own hands?
First, it is better to choose a free wall, and then decide what it will be - a collage from a photo, a drawing, modeling or a mosaic from broken tiles. The general concept and plot of the image should correspond to the functionality of the room and the practicality of care.
For example, it is easy to independently paint aquarium fish on the wall of the bathroom on a smoothly painted wall, but the paint should be durable and indelible.
If the material is susceptible to destruction or dust accumulation, it is better to cover the finished product with a colorless varnish, like a photo panel made of salt dough.
The basis of the paint for the panel must match the material of the wall cladding. For example, if it is acrylic enamel, then acrylic paints are also suitable for wall painting.
The walls in the nursery can be decorated with a wallpaper panel, which is easy to build with the child from the leftovers roll materials left over after renovation.

The work is carried out in several stages:

- The finished areas should dry naturally, after which you can move on to the neighboring elements until the whole picture is finished.
Tip: To avoid disagreements, it is recommended to agree on the plot of the panel with all family members.
Any "appetizing" materials are suitable for the kitchen:

- semolina is an excellent light base that can be additionally painted, it is also filled in empty areas;
- coffee beans (green and roasted) are excellent material in brown and green tones;

The image can be left as if unfinished or limited to a side (frame). Decorating the kitchen together is fun and easy to involve family members from three generations.
Interesting ideas will be suggested by specialists who have recorded a master class on making panels with their own hands:
Those who are good at sculpting figures, small sculptures or making dolls from any material should master the technique of working with salt dough.
For a relief panel, mix fine salt with flour 2: 1, adding a little vegetable oil, water and dry wallpaper glue, kneading like a regular dough. It should be flexible, but firm enough.
The finished mass should not stick to your hands. Small pieces or balls are separated from it, from which the faces of the characters, fruits, leaves and other elements of the panel are decorated. It will hold better if attached to a frame as a portable decor or attached directly to the kitchen wall.
Note!
You can add any other material to complete the plot, such as embroidered fabric, beads, or yarn.
The relief picture dries for about a week, but then a solid durable material is obtained. The finished creation can be decorated and opened with varnish, like a photo of the presented panel.

What should be done:
- Initially, it is worth choosing the necessary picture, according to which the layout will be created, or in other words, the image is detailed using the marquetry technique, in which every detail of the picture must be marked with its own specific shade.
- After that, you need to pick up veneer and wood. The tracing paper on which the sketch is applied is fixed on the veneer, which will become the basis of the canvas with the selected composition.
- The overall background is created using details of various kinds and the type of wood to which the layout of the picture is transferred.
- With the help of a knife, you need to cut out every detail in order to exclude cracks, chips and notches, and also the selection of veneer species is carried out according to shades and the corresponding details of the future picture.
It is worth noting that the details should be cut larger than they really should be. After that, all the elements of the future panel are placed for firing in heated sand or salt, where they are saturated with color and its specific depth.
A selection of parts for the required dimensions is carried out, and each edge of the veneer is coated with contact glue and a complete picture is assembled.
In order to make a volumetric carved image, you will need to use a special cutter, which is used on the finished wooden canvas. At the end of the work, the picture is covered with varnish or special paint on wood.
