DIY kitchen crafts

Even the most expensive kitchen renovation requires finishing chords in the form of unique decorative elements. This space will allow the owners to apply their talents to create interesting crafts that add zest to the interior. You can use ready-made ideas, develop them, and then bring them to a new original solution.

Fresh paint, new wallpaper, sparkling tiles are all beautiful, but there are not enough bright accents for the room to reflect the passions and moods of the residents.

You can revive the interior if you first decorate the walls. To do this, you can use:

• stickers and stencils;
• panels;
• plates;
• artistic painting.

The selection of themed stickers is huge. These are butterflies, fruits, flowers, berries and so on.

You can cut cute images from self-adhesive film. Such pictures are usually used to decorate a wall in the dining area or an apron above the work table.

Outlines are drawn on the back of the film and then cut out. Connect to the surface carefully using a rubber spatula to expel air from under the sticker.

Various images are created on the walls using a stencil made of thick cardboard or plastic. They are glued to plain walls, having marked out the places for the pictures in advance so that they are located exactly.

If someone from the family owns artistic skills, then they will find use of their abilities by painting a free wall or a fragment on it. It can be a kitchen-themed painting, for example, a still life, or just an original abstract painting.

For work, you can take acrylic paints, decorative plaster.

The image you like can be printed on a printer, glued to a plate and varnished. It can be just a beautiful picture from the Internet or a personal photo that reminds of something important and pleasant that once happened in life.

For framing, it remains, using ordinary table napkins without a pattern, to create a volumetric decor in a circle (for this, the napkins are crumpled and glued). Then, using PVA glue, the workpiece is hardened and covered with several layers of varnish.

Each of these additional elements has a different meaning. The hostess, engaged in the manufacture of such a decorative item, invests in the amulet those protective functions that, in her opinion, the family needs most of all.
