How to make a picture for a wall yourself
A great popularity, as a variant of interior decoration, have acquired modular paintings. They can consist of two parts: a diptych, three, a triptych and more, a polyptych.
Of course, today they can be bought in many stores, but would it not be more pleasant to make a modular image with your own hands? That is why you are given a master class on how to create such an element of decor. And for this you will need:
1. Fabric with a beautiful pattern (choose a pattern so that it harmoniously matches the style of the room, which will decorate the image). The pattern can be the ornament itself and perhaps the plot. If you are based on the plot, you will need to measure the canvas, so that the divided parts are coordinated in different parts of the modular image.
2. Base 1 – wooden slats and plywood pieces.
3. Base 2: fiberboard or foam (even foam with a ceiling plate is suitable).
4. Glue PVA.
5. Scissors, hooks, furniture stapler, centimeter.
6. Pencil or chalk (for markings on fabric).
It is quite easy to make a modular picture with your own hands, and therefore we will consider this process step by step:
1. Finished base
It can be purchased from the store in the quantity required for your modular box. They are sold with a fabric already stretched at the base. And then, having studied in detail how to draw a modular picture yourself, you can use the ready-made frame. If you want to make a modular picture with your own hands, using the desired fabric or print, you need to carefully remove the fabric from the stretchers.
2. Make the base yourself
And you can make your own base for a modular image. The first option – the creation of stretchers with wooden frames. Here you will need to take the stretcher slats of the same length in pairs, cut the ends and join them with glue or a furniture stapler. At each corner from the wrong side you can fix plywood pieces in the form of triangles, to strengthen the frame of your picture. For a higher density on the stretcher, as an additional base, you can pull the fabric, also securing it with a furniture stapler.
The second option is that you can take the entire base – a piece of fibreboard or polystyrene, but then do not forget to process the edges. This is the simplest version of the basics, if you decide to make a modular image with your own hands and spend a minimum amount of time on this. Of course, making modular paintings with your own hands in any case will cost a certain amount of effort and time, but this option is especially recommended for teachers, because there is less work with tools.
3. Fixing the fabric
In addition, we cut and fix the sheet on the stretchers. Be sure to measure the size of the canvas at the base, taking into account the location for the fixing on the back of the picture with the help of furniture staples.
Distribute the cobweb evenly, stretch it to avoid wrinkling and wrinkling. Special attention and precision will require corners. First, fasten the long opposite sides, then the short ones.
4. Decorate the interior!
As a result, you get an excellent decoration element for your room. Now you can fantasize about placing the images together. Making your own modular paintings can also generate income if you reach a certain skill level.
If you are interested in how to draw a modular picture, then everything is simple. Everyone who did not miss drawing lessons at school will be able to do it themselves. Your end result doesn’t have to be a work of art of the highest class – you can find pattern or color images and redraw them by distributing them across your image modules.
At the same time, remember that the arrangement of the parts to each other may depend on how you draw a modular picture. For example, the elements may not be located horizontally, but diagonally or even vertically, or the middle may be higher than the rest. The combination of the pattern will determine the location of the modular image. An even easier option is to protect already printed images.
