2. Beautiful things for the home with your own hands: carpets

Perhaps the most pleasant thing about creating things for the house with your own hands is when one of the guests asks: where did you acquire such beauty? A stylish rug with a zebra print (or any other motif of your choice) will certainly deserve such a compliment. And more than once.

The fabric can be any. The main thing is that it is not too demanding in care: it is not afraid of moisture and can be easily cleaned. In this case, the master chose vinyl fabric. It is heavy and durable enough to look like a true rug. What's more, the quality of vinyl is very impressive these days and is available in a wide variety of colors and interesting textures.

Everything necessary materials and tools:

  • Thick paper;
  • Vinyl upholstery fabric;
  • Scissors;
  • 2 Krylon pens or regular fabric paint.

Procedure:

  1. Create a stencil out of paper. Draw and cut out the outline of the zebra skin, then the drawing itself on it. Don't worry about your artistic talent - a zebra skin doesn't have to look uniform or symmetrical. As a last resort, the pattern can be copied from a picture on the Internet or even printed to cut.
  2. Attach the stencil to the vinyl fabric and trace the contours of the stripes with Krylon pens (spray paint or brush). After that, the stencil can be removed and continue painting the areas inside the paths.
  3. Let the paint dry and you're done! To be sure that the pattern will stick, you can “seal” the carpet by spraying a clear coat of acrylic spray paint on it.

Krylon handles create a stunning gold leaf effect on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the paint in them dries quickly and adheres very securely. If you cannot buy them in your city, then use ordinary paint for fabrics or walls. As the next hero of our article.

He took a cheap white rug as a basis and decided to give it interesting view do it yourself using a chevron pattern. All he needed was thin duct tape, scissors, a thick paintbrush, and two different shades of latex paint.

Finally, another inspiring example that uses an impromptu stamp instead of a stencil. The master had a rubber bath mat, remnants of wall paint (to achieve a vintage effect, it was slightly diluted with water), a roller and an old IKEA wool carpet. We look at the photo of what he managed to cook from these ingredients.

7. Turn photos into wall decor

It's so much cooler than just hanging your photos in frames! Your personal photos or any images you like from the Internet can turn into beautiful wall art for any room. To make such a decor with your own hands, you can apply any of the following methods.

  1. Find or buy a backing. It can be played by a thick sheet of polystyrene or expanded polystyrene (as in this case), a board and other materials at hand.
  2. Print a photo after editing its dimensions so that they are about 5 cm larger than the substrate. These "extra" centimeters will go to the folds.
  3. Cut the photo and backing into pieces if you want a modular set, not a whole picture. Otherwise, skip this item.
  4. Place the photo on a substrate and wrap the ends. The author of this product used a double-sided duct tape for pinning photos. You can attach with regular glue or others available funds... The surface of the photos can also be treated with glue or glitter paste.

  1. Print the image and prepare the canvas to transfer it to.
  2. Stretch the canvas over the frame and apply a thick layer of Medium Gel to it. These gels are widespread and can be purchased at any home furnishing store today.
  3. Blend the photo onto the blurred canvas and press down. Leave so for several hours, but occasionally sprinkle with water from a spray bottle.
  4. Carefully, using your fingertips, begin to erase the back surface of the image from the canvas. Remove all paper in this way.

The result is a handsome, frayed look that will only give it a vintage look. It remains only to apply the last layer of the medium gel to it as a protective coating.
