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.

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.

- 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.

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.

Fountain with ideas, create and get up - let the interior paintings made with your own hands please not only you, but also amaze, surprise, delight guests! The stylish interior of the kitchen and the whole house is the merit of enterprising owners who are not afraid to experiment.
Good day. Recently I went to visit a friend and saw a beautiful picture made of sequins on her wall. I really liked her and I wanted one too. I went to the store, looked at the pictures, at the prices. It turned out to be too expensive. Then I decided to make a picture with my own hands, the one that I need and without spending a lot of money. I want to show you what I got.
For making I needed:
- Styrofoam of the right size or cardboard covers.
- Ruler.
- Wallpaper.
- Knife.
- Scissors.
- Glue (VPA, moment).
- Sequins.
- Beads.
- Pencil, felt-tip pen.
- Free time, patience and imagination.
I saw pictures of complex work, but since I have no experience, I decided to start with something simpler. And so, I took polystyrene foam (packaging from the refrigerator, although a cardboard box is also suitable). With the help of a ruler and a pencil, I drew a square of the desired size and, armed with a knife, cut it out.
Then she covered it with wallpaper. You can take plain wallpaper (or fabric of any texture). I opted for a non-bright pattern.
The next step was drawing the selected pattern. I wanted to draw a couple in love, because the day before was the holiday of all lovers. First, I drew a sketch on the canvas with a pencil, and then circled it with a black felt-tip pen for better visibility.
If you have problems with drawing, you can transfer the drawing you like using carbon paper. I took the plots of the pictures on the Internet.
Taking glue and sequins, I started gluing them one by one back to back on all jumping lines, except for thin lines on the face (lips, eyes, eyebrows, ears).
I glued beads on thin lines in the same way.
This is how the picture turned out. I really liked it, so I decided to make two more paintings with other drawings.
Here is another small picture made from cardboard using sequins.
Despite the fact that the sequins are black, they shimmer beautifully when the sun hits them. Such paintings can decorate not only the living room of your house, but also the bedroom or kitchen. They will be a good gift for relatives and friends for any occasion. You just need to choose the right plot for the picture.
Goodbye, see you again.
