Handmade decor items are becoming more and more popular every year, as everyone wants to have an exclusive decoration in their home, and not a replicated faceless souvenir from the store. For example, three-dimensional paintings can be a good choice. It is quite simple to make them with your own hands, especially since there are many techniques, and it is not at all necessary to immediately start creating super-complex masterpieces.
Materials and tools
A three-dimensional painting can be made from a variety of materials. Most often, paper is used to create such decorative crafts, but leather, fabric, plasticine and other improvised means may also be suitable. At the same time, pre-treatment of materials is sometimes required in the form of soaking, staining, etc., the choice of which depends on the technique chosen for the manufacture of the picture, and its content.
As for tools, you should definitely have a pencil, scissors, glue (universal), silicone gun, varnish, threads and needles (for fabric options), etc.
Volumetric paper paintings
Very simple and original crafts can be obtained using only paper of several contrasting colors and glue.
For example, to make a gorgeous Japanese-style carp, you just need to print its silhouette on the printer, make neat cuts and cut holes in the right places with a clerical knife. Then you should bend the fins and scales and stick the blank on a sheet of colored paper. After that, it remains just to insert your work into a simple frame and hang it on the wall.
Volumetric paintings from paper can be made in other ways.
"Orchid"
Do-it-yourself volumetric paper paintings are often made as a gift. For example, a craft depicting an orchid can be a good option for a present. This is a very beautiful three-dimensional picture that will decorate any interior.
You will need:
- colored paper;
- wooden frame;
- corrugated paper;
- gouache;
- tassel
- scissors;
- thin stick;
- glue stick.
Production order:
- a flower with one large, rounded, and two sharp petals is cut out of plain paper;
- bend them with scissors;
- 3 pairs of petals are cut out of corrugated paper;
- stretch the edge of each element in such a way as to get wavy semicircles;
- take thin petals and twist them twice in the center;
- smeared with glue at the place of twisting and attached to the centers of the shamrocks;
- 3 centers are cut out of pink paper using a stencil;
- dots are applied to them with gouache of a darker shade of pink;
- when the paint dries, give the middle volume, using scissors;
- lubricate the wrong sides with glue;
- glue the pink centers in the center of the white paper petals.
- several oval leaves are cut out of green paper;
- give the elements volume;
- 3 strips of 3 x 20 cm are cut out of green paper;
- moisten them with water and tightly wind them diagonally onto wooden skewers;
- when the paper dries, take out the sticks and get the stems, which are then given a bend;
- two buds are cut out of white paper;
- give them volume by gluing;
- 2 sheets of blue paper in dark and light tones, as well as one light blue sheet, are glued onto each other;
- when they dry, insert the background into the frame;
- stick stems, leaves, flowers and buds on it
Such voluminous paintings, made by hand, will look beautiful in any interior, and will also be a wonderful gift.
Paper "tunnel"
A three-dimensional picture in this technique, if done carefully, will turn out to be very stylish and beautiful. For the first time, such interior decorations appeared in the 18th century and depicted scenes from the performances of English theaters. To make them, you will need multi-colored paper and glue, as well as 4 identical sheets of cardboard for the picture and 2 for the accordion. The latter should be the same length as the former and reach a width of 11 cm.
Making crafts is quite simple:
- cut holes of the same size in sheets of cardboard so that when superimposed on each other they coincide
- draw and cut out trees, figurines of people and mountains from colored paper;
- on sheets of thick paper, you need to apply 10 lines with a pencil with an indent of 1 cm and bend as follows: towards yourself, away from you, towards yourself, away from you, etc .;
- glue the protrusions so that they alternate with "flat" areas;
- do the same with the second "accordion";
- stick ready-made "layers" with "portholes" on the ledges of the "accordion";
- place the product in the finished three-dimensional frame.
Volumetric fabric paintings
A great home decoration can be made from foam and scraps. This technique came to us from Japan and is called kinusaiga.
A three-dimensional picture of fabric flaps can be of any size, but for starters it is better to choose a relatively small option.
For manufacturing, you should:
- transfer the drawing to the foam;
- cut out details from the fabric;
- make cuts 2 cm deep throughout the pattern on the foam;
- apply the desired fabric blank to the place where it needs to be used on the basis;
- with a blunt table knife, fill the edges of the patch into the cuts in the foam;
- do the same with all other details;
- wrap the edges of the picture with tape, fixing it with decorative buttons, or insert it into a frame.
Bulk materials panel
Do-it-yourself volumetric paintings can also be made from cereals. For example, for such a panel, which is presented below, all bulk materials that are at hand will come in handy.
First, on thick cardboard, the contours of the future picture are marked and a specific area is smeared with glue. Then they fill it with cereals of the desired type, for example, buckwheat, and lightly press it. Glue the grains so that they densely fill the surface of the picture. Do the same with other details.
After filling the entire surface of the canvas, varnish the product and insert it into a suitable frame.
Spring panel
As already mentioned, do-it-yourself volumetric paintings can be made from almost any material. For example, “Spring panel” will look very organic in an eco-style interior.
For its manufacture you will need:
- a piece of plywood;
- paint in a can;
- a piece of plain fabric;
- golden spray paint;
- tassel;
- glue stick;
- LED garland;
- several branches of mountain ash, acacia or any other tree.
Operating procedure:
- branches are placed under pressure for several days so that they straighten;
- a piece of plywood is covered with a cloth;
- if necessary, paint it with a sponge or brush;
- glue the branches to the fabric;
- lightly spray the picture with spray paint from a can;
- fix the LEDs on the branches with adhesive tape;
- mask the cable or make a hole and bring it out through the fabric and plywood;
- put your work in a frame.
Now you know how to make a three-dimensional picture from different materials, and you can decorate your interior with an original piece of decor.
To give a hateful interior design a new character and color, as well as to bring a fresh stream into the design of the kitchen, bedroom, nursery, paintings created by yourself will help. You can make unique paintings with your own hands from any available materials; this absolutely does not require professional art education. Stylish works of art that rightfully occupy a dominant role in the house are the bright accent that can enliven the interior, filling it with individual features.
In fact, you can make a picture with your own hands from almost anything. Yes, yes, this is not a joke. Having applied imagination, all creativity and creativity, it is really possible to use any materials at hand: coins, shells, buttons, threads, fabric cuts, leaves, dried berries, small branches, cutlery, sewing accessories, personal photographs and even miniature children's toys .
An excellent solution not only for the kitchen, but also for the bedroom, living room, nursery. Such modular compositions look holistic due to a single trunk and branches extending from it. The background of each individual element corresponds to a certain season (autumn - orange, summer - emerald, spring - light green, winter - blue). The button foliage is also made in a tonality corresponding to the presented seasons.

Leather goods
Despite the fact that the skin is quite easy to process, the picture is not so easy to handle. Here you need an understanding of working with the material, knowledge of the basic properties of the skin, considerable patience and perseverance. Therefore, it is recommended that you first try to make small trial compositions, and then move on to voluminous, fundamental works.
The most commonly used color palette in genuine leather paintings is brown-beige. But some daredevils are happy to use green, red, orange, yellow patches.
The main advantages of leather images:
- Exclusivity - due to the originality of the material, it is impossible to repeat the picture one to one;
- Relief - depth, elevation, highlights and shadows create an unsurpassed 3D effect, thanks to which the picture "comes to life";
- Availability - small pieces of leather can be found both at home and purchased at the "flea" market or from shoemakers literally for next to nothing.

Panel of products
One of the most relevant techniques for creating paintings for the kitchen is subject application. Moreover, in this case, cereals, coffee beans, small dry vegetables and fruits, citrus peels, spices and the like are most in demand.
Food panels look harmoniously in the interior of the kitchen, as they look not only stylish, but also appetizing.

Photography in the interior of the kitchen
For those who prefer to follow the path of least resistance, a wonderful way to add color to a room is photographic paintings. In this case, it is enough to pick up a photo on the Internet or from a personal archive, and print it on a large-format color printer.

Fabric drawings
Fabric paintings are also widely applicable in the design of kitchens. They always look original, colorful and stylish. To prevent dust and grease from penetrating inside, upon completion of the creation of a work of art, textiles are usually treated with varnish. For fabric products, synthetic material, burlap and silk are best suited.

- When creating a picture for the interior with your own hands, it is best not to dazzle with colors, but to use a tone that matches the design of the kitchen. You also always need to adhere to the style of the overall concept of interior design. For example, in a classic room, leather goods and canvases painted in oils are acceptable. The following materials are suitable for high-tech style: glass, metal, mirror. Provence can be filled with floral ornaments and paintings from cereals. Volumetric works harmoniously look in modern kitchens and combined styles.
- The color palette should include three primary colors and several (at the request of the owner) close shades. Cold tonality is allowed to be diluted with warm accents, but you need to take colors from the opposite spectrum.
Color spectrum: the right principles for combining shades
- For convex shapes, you should always use an alternation of light and dark tones. Moreover, oversized dark volumes look best on a light plane. Approximately the same principle of a tandem of glossy with matte materials: matte should protrude above glossy. Thus, a greater depth of paintings and a maximum 3D effect are achieved.
- When making paintings on your own, whether it is an application or a drawing, it is important to observe the basic compositional principles, dynamics and balance.
- An easy way to make a painting original is to move the inner drawing outside of the base outline. For example, to extend the image to the frame or, with relief forms, beyond the border of the frame.

How to make modular composition yourself
Photo of the final result
You will need:
- piece of fabric (the size should be with a margin - for each detail you need a margin of at least 10 cm in width and 10 cm in height)
- pieces of plywood and wood slats for the frame
- foam or chipboard for the base
- furniture stapler
- scissors
- tape measure or long ruler
- a simple pencil or chalk (chalk is useful if the fabric is dark in color)
Step by step instructions:
- Two options for creating a base for a do-it-yourself painting:
- Making a stretcher with your own hands. Saw the ends of the rails at 45 degrees and connect them with glue or a stapler. For reliability, it is recommended to fix small isosceles triangles at the corners of the frame. Triangles can be made from plywood or fiberboard. Also, for structural rigidity, you can stretch the fabric around the perimeter by attaching it with a stapler.
Making a stretcher with your own hands
- Cut the finished base strictly in size from chipboard (16 ... 25 mm) or prepared foam.
Chipboard base
- Fixation of textile fabric. Cut the fabric to a size larger than the stretcher, taking into account all the folds. Next, you should slightly moisten the material and only after that proceed to pulling on the base. Corners require special care and attention.
Tip: first you need to stretch the long sides of the future picture, and then the short ones.
Before fixing one of the sides, you need to make sure that the material is not crumpled and not crushed.
- That's all - the modular picture is ready. By the same principle, you can make a photo decoration for the interior.

Stages of work "Rowan"
source http://stranamasterov.ru/blog/35917
1. We select the frame of the required size, cut out the fiberboard - this is the basis of the work.
2. Sketch.
3. Prime fiberboard (water + PVA glue), paint with water-dispersion paint + gouache.
4. While drying, prepare the dough of the desired color. You can dye with aniline dyes during kneading (tint the water), and we are like this ... We rolled out the dough, covered it with a layer of green gouache, kneaded it, mixed it, it became too soft - we added flour
5. Picked up branches, it's mostly birch or elm. Light lines marked the direction of the branch.
6. Leaflet - roll up the ball, flatten it to make it on both sides with sharp tips. Flatten into a cake and work with a cutter - streaks and sharp edges.
7. We start from the bottom layer and on top of the branch. Leaf after leaf, somewhere they are on their own, somewhere they overlap, somewhere they bend. Wet the joint with water + glue.
You see, the work is not molded at once, but the branch grows. We mask the junctions of the branches under the leaves.
8. We simplified the painting - we decided to paint the leaves first, and then sculpt the berries. Practical!
Painting in gouache mostly, but also watercolor side by side. The work is delicate, because don't mess up the base.
9. Dirty work again! Dough dyed with gouache is brighter after drying than with food coloring.
10. Helpers!!! The berries were formed into bunches, for this it is better to look at your work from a distance.
There are no photos of how bunches of mountain ash were painted. It’s boring if they are all the same tone, so they tinted them a little.
11. This stage is also difficult - varnishing, concentration is required. The background is not touched at all (matte and rough), only a branch with berries is varnished.
12. Another raisin - ladybugs. Separately blinded, painted, varnished and glued.
Here is a triptych in the end. "Gifts of Autumn"

It is very remarkable that today more and more owners prefer to decorate the interior of their homes with handmade paintings. And this is wonderful, because the variety of modern materials allows you to make needlework in all kinds of techniques. It's great that such handwritten creations can not only be hung on the walls of your home, but also presented as a gift to loved ones, colleagues or even children.
It is a mistake to think that a picture is something drawn on a piece of paper. But in our modern time, it is a design element that is performed using completely unusual techniques.
Today you can find a large number of photos of homemade paintings on the Internet, they will help you decide on the direction and design of future products.
In the article we will describe some of the most interesting workshops on how to make beautiful and, most importantly, unique paintings. It is important that the following methods for the manufacture of such decorative elements will not require exorbitant amounts. And the list of necessary materials will not be prohibitive.
Paintings using beads
Surely you know a lot of materials from which you can make a beautiful picture. In addition to the painted products familiar to our eyes, there is a very remarkable technique using beads, which will sparkle with bright colors on the walls of your kitchen or bedroom.
Depending on the chosen theme, the product can be hung in the children's room or in the living room.
Note that this type of creativity requires considerable physical effort and time, but the result will exceed all your expectations and will certainly attract the views of households and guests.
For manufacturing, you will need not so many materials, half of which can always be found in any home:
- frame on a strong frame;
- finished picture (pre-printed);
- small beads (1-2 mm);
- Super glue;
- tooth stick.
The work process is simple. To get started, take the base (frame) of our future picture and glue the selected drawing on it. Next, carefully start gluing the beads, evenly distributing it on the canvas.
Do not allow the formation of empty "holes", for this you should use a toothpick, with which it is easier to get to the smallest corners of the picture.
Do this procedure separately, that is, visually divide the canvas into several elements and gradually fill these parts with beads. At the end of the work, let the painting dry completely by placing it in a vertical position.
If necessary, you can arrange a beaded masterpiece in a beautiful frame and then choose the most suitable place for the product.
Custom fabric paintings
Here is another interesting idea with which it is easy to make a picture. In this manufacturing method, you do not need to invent patterns, composition and select paints or pencils. Here only an idea is useful, how to choose the right fabric for the interior according to the color and shape.
It is not at all important that intricate plots are depicted on the fabric - the choice of elegant abstraction is quite suitable, which can be beaten on canvases of different sizes in order to create overall harmony.
Making such modular paintings at home is very simple, the main thing is to find the right fabrics and choose the perfect stretchers. One large pattern or drawing harmoniously looks, smoothly stretching over two or three paintings.
"Golden" paintings
Sounds expensive, doesn't it? But in the manufacture of paintings from gold, you will not need large expenses, but on the contrary, the necessary materials are easy to find in simple stores with building materials or household goods. And the execution technique itself is extremely simple, and even a schoolboy can handle it.
So, for work you will need:
- thick cardboard or a piece of unnecessary flat plywood;
- plain fabric;
- acrylic paint;
- glue in a stick;
- tassel;
- a branch from any nearby growing tree;
- aerosol with gold paint.
Work process
We glue our base with a cloth, carefully smoothing all the edges to avoid the appearance of bends or excess glue. After waiting for complete drying, we proceed to painting the fabric. To do this, very carefully apply an even layer of the paint you like and wait for it to dry. This stage can be avoided if you select a ready-made colored fabric for our composition in advance.
And now the most interesting thing is the creation of the golden branch. We take a twig and apply it to the dried canvas, and on top we apply spray paint in a plentiful even layer at a distance of 25-30 cm from the picture
Again we are waiting for drying. The drawing, made at home, is ready! If you want to add a twist, you can manually finish the missing elements: a bird, leaves or berries; you can glue rhinestones, beads for greater pomposity.
conclusions
As we found out, each of us can create a truly unique masterpiece in a single copy for the interior. Making paintings can be done not only by a mother on maternity leave or an art student. The creation of such canvases brings great together, so working on them is perfect for a young couple or a mother with a child.
On the Internet, it is easy to find many ways and instructions on how to make a picture. It is worth noting that sometimes the cost of materials and tools will cost a little more than a ready-made purchased product, but the result of our own work casts this shortcoming into the background.
Develop your imagination, creative skills and you will certainly be able to please your family and friends, because a handmade painting is an ideal housewarming gift, a boss or just a good friend for his birthday.
