How to make a wall panel for the New Year with your own hands: 30 master classes with photos and videos

The panel is a decorative element, in the manufacture of which various materials are used: wood, felt, paper, salt dough, beads, etc. It is usually placed on the wall in the living room, bedroom, kitchen or hallway. In the article we will tell you and show in photos and videos how to make a New Year’s panel on the wall with your own hands and decorate everything in the house in a festive way: the ceiling, walls, doors, windows, furniture, fireplace, etc.

Felt

The most popular decorative material is felt. It is easy to sew and is offered to the buyer in a varied color palette and a wide range.

Before you start doing original work for the New Year, you should familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the material and the correct use of it, so as not to make mistakes and waste fabric.

What you should know about felt

• when sewing toys, soft wool blend fabric with a thickness of 1.4-1.6 millimeters is used;
• felt up to 4 millimeters thick is sewn on a machine; you do not need to purchase a special needle for this;
• When sewing very thin fabric, a problem usually arises with the stitching of the outer row. To prevent deformation of the panel elements on the hoop, pre-gluing it to double or non-woven fabric allows you to prevent it from deforming. The materials have one adhesive side; they are connected to the felt by ironing the outer side with a hot iron. To obtain clear, durable patterns, non-woven fabric is used;
• no less attention is paid to the choice of threads, because the neat appearance of the product depends on them. So, if they are too thick, then sloppy holes remain in the places where the needle punctures; otherwise, the edges of the material break.

We use available means given by nature

Eco-friendly material is very popular and is used in the implementation of various design ideas:

• wood cutting;
• landscapes with branches and dried leaves;
• photo frames.

Abstractions made of bars and inlaid with stones look beautiful and original. Wood products will look elegant in any setting. To preserve wooden structures, they are treated with special means and varnished.

Select flexible branches so that they take a position in the composition and do not break. They are secured with staples and self-tapping screws (the caps are rubbed down). Thin ones are tied together with wire. For the background choose cardboard, fiberboard, burlap. Suitable for interiors in the bedroom, hallway, living room. You can always diversify and add new elements. They go well with dried leaves and flowers.

Salty dough

A New Year's panel made from salt dough is an incredibly popular form of creativity that is loved by children and adults. Working with the material does not cause any difficulties and is accessible to everyone.

From the outside, stucco molding looks like an exclusive and original piece of interior decoration.

Preparing the dough

The material for stucco molding includes three main components: wheat flour, fine salt, and water. There are recipes that also consist of hand cream, wallpaper glue, and starch. Flour contains a lot of gluten, salt gives the products the desired smooth shape.

Classic recipe:

• flour - 1 tbsp;
• fine salt - 1 tbsp.;
• water - 120 ml.

The ingredients are thoroughly mixed with a mixer or by hand - you should get a mass of homogeneous consistency. The test is performed as follows: a piece of dough is torn off, a ball is rolled off it and pressed down with your fingers. The mass does not spread and retains its shape - it is suitable for work.

Advice! When mixing the above ingredients, you need to add a little nourishing cream or vegetable oil and then the dough will not dry quickly and will not stick to your hands when modeling.

The working material is painted with natural juices from beets, carrots, spinach, cherries, watercolors, and synthetic pigments.

How to store leftover dough?

There are many known ways to use such material. Various figurines, toys, photo frames, and festive Christmas tree decorations are made from it.

The figures can be three-dimensional, flat, with or without a base. The work resembles molding from plasticine; crafts made from salt dough are stored for a very long time.

Leftovers are placed in a container with a plastic lid or carefully wrapped in film and stored in the refrigerator.

Advice! To extend the shelf life of the dough, add citric acid to it at the rate of 1 sachet per 2 cups of flour. Without lemon juice, working material can be stored in a cold place for up to three days, and with it - about 30 days.

How are crafts dried and painted?

There are several known methods:

1. The panel dries in natural conditions for a month.
2. The product is placed near the heating device.
3. Or in the oven, preheated to a temperature of 60°C for 10–15 minutes, after which they are browned at 130°C.

To make crafts shine, they are glazed or covered with several layers of acrylic varnish. The first method is suitable for white products, the second - for all other tones.

To add shine, the panel is often coated with an aqueous salt solution and dried in an oven at temperatures up to 50°C.

Advice! To give the craft a pleasant golden hue, it is coated with egg yolk or white.

How to place it correctly

To place it correctly, you should consider some points:

• integrity and volume - do not cut off or hide part of the work, then the meaning will be lost and it will look ugly;
• purpose of the premises - for what purposes it is intended;
• harmony in combination with decoration - selection of things and palette.

The kitchen will be decorated with thematic items: fruits, vegetables, still lifes, grain products, cereals, spices, including cutlery and dishes.

The bedroom creates an atmosphere of lightness, peace, and tranquility. Here people relax not only with their bodies, but also with their souls. Heavy objects will be out of place.

Light bright colors, the child’s favorite characters, animals, collages of children’s photographs and other interesting objects are chosen for the child’s room.

In the hall, the design is complemented with wood products, macrame or abstractions.

Paper woven panel

It’s easy to make such a paper composition; from the outside it looks luxurious and interesting. To do this, two New Year-themed images are selected so that one provides a general background, the other is more graphic (black and white) or contrasting.

Materials and tools required for work:

• steel ruler;
• pencil;
• sharp knife, scissors;
• cutting pad;
• PVA glue;
• images of the same size that you want to print with margins.

Making wall crafts is done in stages:

1. The pictures are lined into strips about 10 mm wide, one horizontally, the other vertically. To avoid confusion, they should be numbered with a pencil and cut along the lines with scissors. In this case, you need to leave a small indentation from the edges, the result should be a “fringe”.
2. Weaving is done by alternately placing one strip on top of another, the ends are bent, cut, and connected with glue. The panel is decorated with a baguette or photo frame.

Birds using quilling technique

You can make almost any bird and place it on a cardboard or wood base. The technique is based on rolling rolls. Step by step process:

1. Take quilling paper or a strip of colored paper 0.2 cm wide to the required length.
2. Clamp one edge into a special awl or a split toothpick.
3. Holding the other end of the strip with your hand, roll it into a tight roll.
4. Glue is applied to the end of the strip and secured to the roll.
5. The finished part is removed from the toothpick.

The roll is shaped in accordance with the intended design. The bird's feather is made from rolled paper, flattened at one end. The result is an elongated element in the form of a feather. Rolls can be made flat on both sides.

In contour quilling, you can do without complex twisted elements, but the picture will still look great.

Panel made of threads and small nails

Even a schoolchild can make such a panel, because no special knowledge or skills are required for this. You just need to create a sketch or print a ready-made one on a printer.

Having a picture with a New Year's motif on hand, it is worth preparing the base - a cut of a wide tree or a board that has been cleaned, polished to a shine, coated with varnish or acrylic paint. Sometimes it is covered with cloth.

Tools required for work:

• small nails, their number is selected depending on the complexity and size of the panel;
• hammer;
• multi-colored threads;
• fabric when used as the main background;
• thin-nose pliers for holding nails;
• scissors.

Stages of work:

1. The layout is placed on the base, the outline of the drawing should not go beyond its limits. Nails are driven along the line to ½ length. To avoid hitting your fingers with a hammer, you need to use thin-nose pliers when working.
2. The remaining nails are driven in in increments of 5–10 mm until the outline of the pattern is completely filled.
3. The paper with the layout is removed - torn off at the edges.
4. The center of the picture is filled with threads. To do this, one end is tied to the cap, then the thread is randomly wound around the remaining studs with movements along the contour, then to the opposite caps. This is done until all the light spots between the threads are smoothed out. The panel for the holiday is ready, it is decorated with colored scales, beads, etc.

Advice! By diluting acrylic varnish with glitter and carefully covering the canvas with threads with the mixture, you can get an elegant design with small lights flickering in different colors.

Performing a contour drawing, a complex pattern

Contour drawings also look unusual - when the thread fills only the background, and the center of the panel is left empty.

To make it yourself you will need similar materials. In the obligatory case, a wooden frame is made, small nails are hammered along the outline of the substrate, and then along the border of the selected pattern.

The thread is attached to the nails located along the edges and stretched to the caps that form the border of the design. The result is a beautiful, unique pattern.

A New Year's wall panel can be made without a layout. To do this, take a dark base and a bright thread. The nails are attached only along the edge of the backing, the thread is pulled to the opposite edge, carefully wrapped around the head, returned and attached to the nearest nail. This must be continued until all the space inside is hidden. The result is an original, spiral-shaped figure. Using the technique described above, complex designs with a three-dimensional effect are created.

Select a pattern

Without much experience, it is better to select a simple and small sketch of a multifaceted or round shape for the panel. Having mastered the technique, you can move on to making more complex paintings, where the threads are arranged according to a certain pattern.

From the outside, such crafts look luxurious; they can become an exquisite decoration of any modern interior. Using multi-colored threads in the work and placing them at different heights, it is possible to obtain a 3D effect, externally similar to a tapestry.

As a New Year's plot you can use:

• Christmas tree;
• Santa Claus;
• asterisk;
• snowflake;
• bells;
• fairy-tale characters or animals, etc.

Beautiful panels made of threads

Tips from experienced craftsmen

1. When you use small nails in your work, the hammer must be of the appropriate size.
2. The foam backing must be covered with glue or acrylic varnish - this will prevent the balls from crumbling.
3. If you are making a large panel on the wall, then you first need to make the main silhouette from threads - this will greatly facilitate further work.
4. It is better to use beads, rhinestones, broken Christmas tree decorations, etc. as small decorative elements.

The theme for a children's room can be anything, including a New Year's theme.

Experienced craftswomen create paintings that combine several techniques. The combination of quilling and kanzashi looks amazing. The latter was originally conceived as making flowers from fabric and ribbons. But you can do something similar from paper. The main thing is that it must be dense to form volume. The panel, decorated in soothing colors, looks very advantageous. Suitable for a classic interior.

The variation of tropical leaves in 3D looks bold and beautiful. To make it, take two sheets of paper: green and black. The design is transferred to dark and carefully cut along the edges. The two sheets are folded and fastened with glue, with the exception of the cut out fragments. The slits are folded back so that the green color underneath is visible. To enhance the effect, you can apply glow-in-the-dark paint along the edges of the cuts. In the evening the panel will look very unusual. For weighting and fastening you will need a contour of wooden slats.

Paper has many uses in home interior decoration. With its help you can create a design on any theme.

Cones

Crafts made from pine cones can become a wonderful decoration for interior decoration, an original and memorable gift for loved ones. From natural material you can make luxurious garlands, toys for the Christmas tree, wreaths for the wall, or the front door.

When making panels, New Year's toys, and other decorative items, it should be taken into account that natural material changes shape in warmth. To prevent this, the cones should be prepared in advance in a special way.

They are placed in the adhesive composition for half an hour, after which they are allowed to dry. If you want them to open up and change their original shape, they should be soaked in water for several hours, tied with twine, and then dried well.

To give the panel a more impressive appearance, it is coated with gold and silver paint from a spray can. It lies flat and allows you to hide the smallest visual defects.

Original crafts

A wall panel with pine cones is made in several ways. The most optimal is when natural material is used as decorative elements in the manufacture of toys, Christmas tree decorations or various accessories. Such crafts are easily combined with other products made from branches, leaves, acorns, etc.

If we consider specific crafts, you can make from pine cones:

• figurines of animals and people;
• decorative ornaments;
• houses, baskets;
• Christmas tree garlands, etc.

All you need is paint, glue, and plasticine. Note that natural material can be perfectly combined with artificial material, allowing you to create wall panels in Scandinavian, eco, rustic and any other style.

3. When making panels for a bright and colorful room, you should stick to calm and soft shades. Ideally, the number of shades should not exceed three;
4. When combining several small panels on the wall, you should remember that they must be of the same theme or represent a specific large picture. Decorations that have nothing in common will look disharmonious.
