Good day to all. Recently I went to visit a friend and saw on her wall a beautiful picture made of sequins. I really liked it and I wanted one too. I went to the store, looked at the pictures, at the prices. It turned out to be a little expensive. Then I decided to make a painting with my own hands, the kind that I need and without spending a lot of money. I want to show you what I did.
Materials for painting
To make it I needed:- - Styrofoam of the required size or cardboard covers.
- - Ruler.
- - Wallpaper.
- - Knife.
- - Scissors.
- - Glue (VPA, moment).
- - Sequins.
- - Beads.
- - Pencil, felt-tip pen.
- - Free time, patience and imagination.
How to make a painting from scrap materials with your own hands
I saw modular paintings on canvas difficult work, but since I have no experience, I decided to do something simpler first. And so, I took polystyrene foam (refrigerator packaging, although a cardboard box will do). Using a ruler and pencil, I drew a square of the required size and, armed with a knife, cut it out.
Then I covered it with wallpaper. You can take plain wallpaper (or fabric of any texture). I chose one with a not bright pattern.
The next step was to apply the selected pattern. I wanted to draw a couple in love, since the day before was Valentine's Day. First, I penciled the sketch onto the canvas, and then outlined 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 subjects of the paintings from the Internet.
Taking glue and sequins, I began to glue them one after another end-to-end on all the competition lines, except for the thin lines on the face (lips, eyes, eyebrows, ears).
I glued beads to the 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 different drawings.
Here is another small painting made from cardboard using sequins.
Despite the fact that the sequins are black, they shimmer beautifully when the sun hits them. With such paintings you can decorate not only the living room of your home, but also the bedroom or kitchen. They will be a good gift for family and friends for any occasion. You just need to choose the desired subject for the picture.
Goodbye, see you again.
