How to make modular pictures from the remains of wallpaper

After each wallpapering, there are always extra pieces of wallpaper. What can be done with them if it is a pity to throw it away. And if they are still expensive or you really like them, then it is doubly sorry to throw them away. Do not do what you do not want. You can think of anything with them. One of the easiest options is to make a modular picture. It may consist of a different number of parts. It will complement and emphasize the character of your interior.

If you have part of the walls covered with plain wallpaper and one wall of decorative drawings, then just from the remnants of decorative wallpaper make a picture and hang it on plain wallpaper. It will look very nice. Or you can hang on the same decorative wallpaper, the effect of volumetric pattern. How to make it? Very simple. To do this, you will need:

• Glue (clerical, PVA, silicone gun);
• Any flat surface (foam piece, plywood, dense box);
• Wallpaper;
• Scissors;
• Ruler;
• Stationery knife.

First you need to find a flat surface for the future picture. Foam sheet, plywood, a thick frame or a tight box will do. We will wrap it in wallpaper. It should be dense and have a thickness of at least 3 cm. This is necessary to create volume.

Now we put our surface on the wallpaper and start wrapping it, lowering the edges. We cut off the excess. Then we take glue and glue the wallpaper to the surface of the workpiece. It will be more convenient to use a hot gun with silicone rods. It leaves no residue and can always be peeled off if you make a mistake with the mounting location. Wipe with a cloth and push on the sizing.

Further, to fix and to avoid wrinkling the wallpaper on the blank, we lay a blank sheet of paper and a weighting agent on it. In this form, leave for 2-3 hours.

Remove to weight, and check if everything is stuck. If all is well, then on the back side of the picture you need to attach a double-sided adhesive tape, if you have a picture on polystyrene foam. The foam is lightweight, so the tape will be enough to hold it against the wall. And if you have chosen a heavier surface, here you will be helped by picture hooks, technical double-sided tape or, in extreme cases, screw a screw to the wall and hang a picture on it. Each technique for performing such paintings is individual. Here is an example flow chart, your case may vary, and depends on the individual approach. That's all. I wish you creative success!
