Video: How to creatively decorate walls with decorative plates

Every housewife strives to ensure that her kitchen is decorated in an original and beautiful way. Especially if the hostess has creative skills, then with the design kitchen interior there are no problems at all. Modern stores have a very large and rich selection of different kitchen utensils, among which there are also quite unique and unusual factory-produced items, but all of this is somehow standard and familiar. But creating something in an original design is quite interesting and entertaining. Decoupage in modern times is a very popular handicraft technique, thanks to which a wide variety of interior items, especially kitchen ones, are decorated.

The range of products for decoupage is simply diverse, so if you add some imagination to them, you can get a great result.

We present to your attention a master class in the decoupage technique - creating stands for hot plates. What we need for production:

Two blanks measuring 15 by 15 cm - I have blanks made of hardboard.

Napkin for decoupage with a kitchen-themed design.

Glue for decoupage, glossy acrylic.

White acrylic paint.

Kitchen sponge.

PVA glue.

So let's get started. We cover the table with oilcloth so as not to stain anything, and place the blanks on the table. Kitchen sponge dip in white paint.

Using tangential, as if dipping movements, we paint over the blanks with the first layer of paint. Leave it for about forty minutes for the first layer to dry.

Carefully check whether the paint has dried - the surface should be completely dry. Then we cover it again with a second layer of white paint.

Two layers of white paint, as a rule, are quite enough for wooden and hardboard blanks, but if the surface is not completely painted over, then we cover it with a third layer. Let it dry completely. The second layer takes longer to dry than the first.

The process can be speeded up a little by drying the surfaces with a hairdryer. We turn the painted side down and now paint the other side in the same sequence, then coat the edges of both blanks in a circle.

Now the second side is drying. When the blanks are completely dry, we begin decorating them. We take a napkin, unfold it and iron it. It is better to iron it with the picture down so as not to damage the design.

All napkins for decoupage are three-layer, so we remove the topmost colored layer, only very carefully so as not to tear the napkin. Cut it in half.

Place one half of the napkin on the workpiece and, starting from the middle, coat it with the adhesive mixture. Glue mixture first prepare from water and PVA glue (1:1), mix in a small bowl.

The top side is glued, we wrap the remaining napkin on the back side, carefully coat the fold line.

2. Divide the spaghetti evenly between the bags and pour enough alcohol into the bags to wet all the sticks. Next, add 10-40 drops of food coloring to each bag.

1. Seal or tie your bags, then place them in additional bags to avoid leaks. Slowly shake and turn the bags to mix the coloring into the alcohol and pasta. Next, place the bag on one side and leave for 30 minutes, then turn the bag over again and leave it for another half hour. Continue soaking the spaghetti in this manner (no more than 3 hours) until it reaches the desired shade.
2. Cover your baking sheet with aluminum foil, then paper towels(or oilcloth). To protect your hands from staining, it is advisable to wear gloves. Remove the spaghetti from the bags, after draining all the liquid, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and leave to dry. From time to time, the spaghetti needs to be sorted to dry evenly.

1. Once your spaghetti is COMPLETELY dry, start placing it in the container.
2. Shake the filled container and smooth out the spaghetti. Insert your knives to determine the optimal filling density, adding pasta or removing excess if necessary.
3. Now, using kitchen scissors or other very sharp scissors, trim the spaghetti to the desired length without removing it from the container (it's best to do this over the sink). It is important that the spaghetti does not exceed the height of the container by more than 2-3 cm, otherwise it will break quickly.

Idea 9. Jars for storing spices and bulk products

Today we will talk about an express technique for making a paper basket, which can be used to store small items (keys, stationery), yarn, and also for unusual presentation of fruits, easter eggs, bread or baked goods festive table or as a gift.

Even a child can weave such baskets quickly and easily

You will need:

• About 15 sheets of thin A3 paper, cut in half lengthwise (this can be printer paper, a full sheet of newspaper, or even baking paper);
• A container of suitable size with straight sides (for example, a jam jar);
• Glue in stick;
• One skewer;
• Spray paint (optional).

Instructions:

1. Starting at one corner, begin to roll the sheet of paper tightly around the skewer to the diagonally opposite corner to create an even and long tube. Once the tube is ready, add a few dabs of glue to the corner of the paper to hold it in place and remove the skewer. Do the same with all the remaining sheets. In this master class, 30 tubes were required to weave 2 baskets.
2. If necessary (for example, if you used newspaper sheets) or if desired, paint the tubes with acrylic paint.
3. Take an even number of tubes and connect them together as shown in the photo in the upper left corner. In this master class, for a basket the size of a jam jar, 6 tubes were required, for a larger basket - 8 tubes.

1. Start braiding: Take one of the outer tubes (which is under the grate) and lay it over the adjacent tube, then pass it under the next tube, then run the tube again over the next tube, etc. Continue weaving by lifting the already entwined tubes vertically (from now on we will call these tubes stands).
2. When 2-3 cm remains from the first working tube, increase its length. To do this, apply glue to the new tube and insert it into the remaining “tail”. Continue weaving over and over again, adding paper tubes as needed.
3. Once you have weaved a base of the desired diameter (the same size as the container), place the container on it and begin weaving around it, pulling the stand tubes close to the walls.
4. Having weaved the basket to the end, remove the jar and carefully wrap the end of the working tube into the weave.
5. Tuck the ends of the posts inside the weave and trim if necessary. Next, you can spray paint from a can as in our master class.

Idea 11. Wall holder for towels and kitchen utensils

From an ordinary grater you can make such a convenient and beautiful holder for a towel and storage of kitchen utensils or even live or artificial plants.

From a flat grater you can make your own kitchen decor in a country, Provence or shabby chic style

To make a heated towel rail and a tray for small items you will need:

• A grater (preferably an old one, but a regular new grater will do, as long as it is metal);
• Patina for metal (for artificial aging of the grater);
• Small cutting board or just a wooden board;
• Wooden die (for the bottom of the grater);
• Glue.

Instructions:

1. Following the manufacturer's instructions, cover the grater with a metal patina, for example, green as in this master class.

1. Install in the inner part wooden bottom. It must first be cut to the size of the upper part of the grater. As a rule, at the top of the grater there are protrusions from metal handles; it is on them that the bottom will be attached.
2. Screw the grater to the board using self-tapping screws, after making holes in it with a nail and hammer.
3. Place the board on the wall near the sink, hang a towel on the handle, and put your spatulas, ladles or flowers inside.

Idea 12. Flower vase

Glass bottles for wine, milk or other drinks are almost ready-made vases that are just waiting to be painted with acrylic paints and/or trimmed.
