When buying household appliances, electronics or other goods in the store that need careful transportation, a large amount of packaging foam accumulates in the house, which, if you show creative imagination, you can try to use to decorate the walls.
An interesting solution to decorate the walls would be the use of figured foam blocks from the packaging of household appliances with recesses and protrusions. You can also use foam rectangles, which are used to insulate or soundproof walls. The foam will serve as a base (stretcher) for photographs, posters, colored fabrics or drawings. This creates a volume effect. As a result, you can create a whole gallery of three-dimensional diptychs, triptychs and polyptychs.
For work, we need the following set of materials and tools:
- thick foam or expanded polystyrene boards (in this example, polyethylene foam boards are used);
- image, photo or fabric - the canvas of the picture;
- scissors;
- glue;
- tape for the side decor of the picture.
Where to start? First of all, you need to prepare the image. It can be a photograph, a picture from the Internet, a poster, or even pieces of fabric of different textures. If you want to make a diptych, the drawing must be cut into two parts, the triptych into three parts, and not necessarily the same.
After that, the image should be glued to the foam. If you know how to draw, then you can make a drawing on the foam with paint.
The side parts of the foam also need to be decorated by pasting them with paper or tape of similar colors with the main background of the picture.
A hook or eyelet must be attached to the back of the picture so that it can be hung on the wall.
Thanks to creative imagination, you can experiment widely with the parameters of the paintings. They can be of any geometric shape, and must necessarily fit into the style of the room in which they will hang. You can emphasize the combination of small details of the interior with the picture by making small vases, candlesticks, pencil holders, etc. from polystyrene foam, and pasting them with the same material as the pictures.
You can hang the polyptych on the wall above the bed in the bedroom, pasting over the foam blocks with fabric in contrasting colors to match the bed linen, which will give the atmosphere a special cosiness.

- a template for a panel;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- Styrofoam;
- brush;
- glue;
- paints.
First, print out the template on paper and cut it out. Now prepare a square of styrofoam, which you can stick on a wooden base. Circle the blank on the foam with a pencil and use a clerical knife to make indentations approximately to the middle of the thickness of the foam.
