Tips for making a winter panel from experienced craftswomen will help you add New Year's magic to your home with your own hands.

Despite the similarity of forms, the panel differs significantly from the picture. You can create a picture using canvas and paints, while a panel requires volume and additional decorative elements, depending on the chosen execution technique. Usually, needlewomen can create a masterpiece from any available materials, because they always have skeins of multi-colored threads, ribbons, rhinestones and beads.

It is harder for a beginner in this field, because more materials have to be purchased. The most popular materials for making winter panels:

• wool;
• woolen threads;
• cereal;
• branches and bark of trees and other natural material;
• cotton wool;
• beads;
• cardboard templates with the image of birds, animals.

The topics are:

• winter landscapes;
• bullfinches, tits, sparrows;
• children's pictures with the image of New Year's festive heroes.

• scissors;
• PVA glue and superglue;
• acrylic paints and gouache;
• varnish to fix the result.

In order to create a winter panel with your own hand, it is important to present a future picture or sketch it. When engaging in creativity with children, you should start with easy and accessible paintings. One of these can be a panel with elements of woolen threads. Birds made of multi-colored finely chopped woolen threads, which are glued to the sketch after cutting, look especially warm and realistic. At the same time, bullfinches or tits can be part of the picture, or they can be separately cut out of cardboard for a larger volume and, after filling with wool, glued to the finished landscape using double-sided tape.

Together with children, you can make a panel on the theme of winter with your own hands using an equally interesting method that will certainly interest young creators. For white fluffy snow, in this case, shaving foam and PVA glue are used in a 1: 1 ratio. Light snow-white paint is applied to the picture, turning into relief snowdrifts and weightless snow on the trees. After drying, the volumetric panel can be framed.

Another stylish painting on the wall is done using classic asphalt crayons. To do this, wires, garlands and sockets are drawn on a black or any other dark background, a lamp holder is applied and boldly painted over with chalk. The template is removed, and the edges are smeared with a finger or cotton wool. A bright and original wall panel made in this way is perfect as a craft for a kindergarten or school.

If the desire to create goes further than completing an assignment for a kindergarten, then you can try to create an amazing landscape on glass. For this you need a ready-made printed winter landscape, which is installed in a frame with glass. Further, trees, bushes and Christmas trees are filled with cereals, for example, rice or buckwheat, depending on the type of trees. The trunks are made of thin twigs and attached to the glass with superglue, the snowdrifts become voluminous with the help of paper torn into small pieces. Completes the work with a primer and painting with acrylic paints. The background from under the glass can be removed and the details can be drawn on a piece of Whatman paper with your own hands.

Pictures in the form of windows with a landscape, created from wooden slats, look interesting. The frame in such a work can be made with your own hands or purchased, but painted to match the overall color scheme of the picture. As you can see, you can create from any material. In the hands of craftsmen, cereals become the foliage of trees, and shaving foam - luxurious magic snowdrifts, painted bunnies and bears become fluffy when decorating them with wool. This is the main joy of needlework - to create unique things from simple things and transform them beyond recognition.

Winter outside the window is a mesmerizing three-dimensional picture created by interweaving various materials and techniques. Twigs and bullfinches made of threads are harmoniously combined with cotton wool snow and cozy wooden window slats. A small Christmas wreath complements the picture. An amazing winter panel made of thin twigs reflects the beauty and appropriateness of using natural materials in paintings. A felted wool bullfinch complements the cozy creation.

The voluminous landscape of a winter village is made from a mixture of shaving foam and PVA glue. An additional highlight is the frame, which merges with the picture into a single whole.

A light and unobtrusive panel made of natural materials can decorate any home. Branches and leaves of trees are skillfully primed, which gives the picture a special structure and relief. A cute childish image is made using multi-colored patches sewn into a single picture. The panel is perfect for winter decoration of a children's room.
