Majority designer interiors united by one drawback - lack of warmth and home comfort. Of course, over time new interior it will take on a lived-in look and little things that will be pleasant for the owners will appear in it, but only hand-made decor can become a real decoration.
In this article we will tell you how to make a panel on a wall made of wood, and we will describe two methods of making it, and you can already choose which option is closer and more pleasant to you.
Wall panels are a decorative element designed to create thematic and semantic accents in the interior. Sometimes even the smallest panel can say more about its owner than a carefully crafted design.
You can make a panel from any available materials: paper, glass (see Glass panel on the wall: how to make it and hang it correctly) and even pieces of wallpaper. Much more important is the soul put into the product, and of course, the sense of style. In fact, there are no restrictions on the appearance of the panels, but we will tell you about two ways how you can make them yourself and not infringe on the family budget.
All the wooden wall panels presented below will not require any specific knowledge or skills from you, moreover, you will not even need a sophisticated set of tools. Everything you need will probably be found at home, and even if not, then in hardware store its price will not be more than one hundred rubles. So, let's start in order.
A very original and stylish wood panel for the wall, which can be made in just a few hours.
To make it we need the following set of tools:
- Hacksaw. It is advisable to use a hacksaw with a blade for metal work. She has more fine teeth and accordingly there will be no video jaggedness.
- Miter box. A tool that allows you to cut workpieces at an angle of 45 degrees. We will need it to make a frame or baguette.
- Gun for applying hot melt glue. By the way, you can do without it if you use simple PVA rather than thermal glue.
- Brushes for varnish or paint. It is advisable to take more expensive brushes, since hairs do not come out of them when working, and you will not have to carefully select them later.
Well, that's basically all. Although we can also include a drill or a hammer drill in this list, we will need them not for making a panel, but for attaching it to the wall.
Now that we have figured out the tool, it’s time to prepare the materials we need, and here we have a complete flight of fancy:
- Branches of different thicknesses. It is important that the branches be as diverse as possible. The originality and appearance of our panel will directly depend on this.
- As a basis for our panel we will need a sheet of thick cardboard or chipboard. In fact, it doesn’t matter what the backing is made of, since it will be completely hidden under the decorative layer.
- Wooden slats with decorative carvings or baguette. We will need them to make the frame. If you have any ideas of your own for making it, feel free to use it. Originality is very interesting.
Advice! If you are using a sheet of chipboard as a backing and PVA as an adhesive, use the side of the sheet that does not have a glossy finish. This way the glue will adhere much better, and decorative elements will not move from the base.
So, first of all we need to make a frame. It doesn’t matter what size your wooden wall panel is. It all depends on personal preference.
A miter box will help you cut the corner evenly. We simply put a strip in it and use a hacksaw to cut it along the tool stops. Thanks to the miter box, the corners will be smooth and the diagonal of the frame will be accurate.
Now lay the frame face down and apply glue to the joints. It will take quite a long time to dry, and the parts will have to be constantly held in place, so it is more convenient to use hot-melt adhesive, which hardens in just a few minutes after application.
When the frame is dry, inside We attach the backing to it. This can be done using construction stapler or small nails.
The foundation is ready, and it's time to take on the most important thing. And first of all, we need to cut nickels from branches different sizes. There is no need to strictly observe the thickness of the heel; the more varied they are, the more natural the panel will look.
First of all, we place the largest nickels on the canvas. They should not stand close to each other; it is advisable to place them in different parts canvases. Now we take smaller nickels and arrange them just as chaotically. Lastly come the smallest cuts, which completely fill all the voids on our canvas.
Look at the work of your hands from the outside. All good? Then you can start gluing them. We carefully take each patch and apply glue to it, after which we return it to its place.
After all the elements are glued, all that remains is to wait for the glue to dry, and as an additional decoration, you can apply a layer of transparent varnish to the entire composition, which will highlight all the nuances of the wood and make the picture glossy and shiny. That's all, our panel is ready, all that remains is to hang it on the wall and enjoy the result, while we move on to the next, no less interesting option.
Ikebana panel
Ikebana – japanese art creating artistic compositions from various plants. Strictly speaking, our panel cannot be called ikebana, since it implies a three-dimensional composition, and a wall panel is a two-dimensional composition. But this is not so important, the main thing is that we will use tree branches as materials, and such a work looks very original.
So, we need a frame or baguette. We have already described its production in previous section, there will be nothing new here.
Any material can be used as a base, and it can be painted to give a certain style. We will not give any advice on this matter, as well as on the placement of branches in the composition.
It all depends entirely on your imagination, but there are several general advice and recommendations that must be followed when making such a wooden panel for the wall:
- Be sure to cover the branches with paint or varnish. This way they will last much longer, and most importantly, they will not lose their appearance.
- If you are using bark-covered branches in your arrangement, be sure to clear a small area where the glue will be applied.. This is necessary in order to ensure reliable adhesion to the surface and so that our work simply does not crumble.
- If you decide to paint the substrate, do not use nitro paint for this.. It will quickly lose its color and the panel will peel off. A good option There will be car paint in aerosol cans.
- Shoe nails can be used as fasteners instead of glue.. They themselves are very small, and when hammered in, their caps will not be visible.
Important! Never work with aerosol paint indoors or without any means. personal protection. It is best to go outside for this work, but if this is not possible, then at least put on a respirator and open all the windows in the house for ventilation.
As you can see, the process is very simple, but it is difficult to describe it in words, so we invite you to watch the video in this article, which shows instructions and a master class on making wooden wall panels.
And in conclusion
In fact, this is only a small part of what can be made from wood. Wooden wall panels can be so diverse that your imagination is not limited at all. And most importantly, don’t hold back. The more extravagant your work is, the better, the more soul invested in it will be felt, and this is the most important thing for any work of art.
By the way, do not forget to involve your child in this process. This will not only give you the opportunity to spend time doing something together, but will also help your child better feel the process of the birth of a work of art, and who knows, maybe one day he will become a famous artist, and it was you who started his journey.

They also need to lubricate the wooden base. You can find glue at an art supply store. After this, the image is carefully transferred to the surface.
A paint roller, which carefully smoothes the canvas, will help to avoid the appearance of wrinkles and small accumulations of air. The minimum time for drying the applied glue is 70 minutes. A hair dryer will speed up the process.
When the glue has dried, use a small brush to gently moisten the design with water. The wet image is removed using a dishwashing sponge.
If everything is done correctly, the paint with the pattern will remain on the plywood. A layer of transparent varnish is applied on top of it, providing shine and durability. Creating a panel with your own hands will take no more than 3 hours. The main thing is that when choosing design solution the characteristics of the premises were taken into account.
