Making a collage from a window frame

Finding a suitable window frame is, in principle, not difficult, most importantly, to guess the size of the future collage, so that he stands on the place chosen for him. First of all, it is necessary to remove all the glasses from the frame and clean it of paint. Or at least to smooth the irregularities.

Now cover the frame with fresh paint, the color of which can be selected in the color of the surrounding situation or use some neutral: white, beige and others.

Cut out a piece of cardboard according to the size of the frame. It can be cut out of the box from under the refrigerator or washing machine. We choose a suitable material and make a tight hose from the fabric. Material is fastened on the reverse side with the help of adhesive tape.

Selected fragments of the collage are glued to the glue or attached to the fabric with a double-sided tape.

We paste the collage inside the frame.

Do not forget to cover the back side of the collage, gently pulling the edges inside.

That's all, it remains only to install a collage.

5) The creation of new lampshades for old lamps was used by our grandmothers when there was not such an abundance of jewelry for the house. You can remember the old techniques, but you can use the new ones.

6) An excellent option to use for decorating the house is a large panel, for example, from butterflies.

Of course, such butterflies are sold, there are special vinyl stickers that you just need to attach to the wall. But who prevents us from saving money and doing it on our own using a stencil? We attach it to the vinyl film and cut out an unlimited number of butterflies. When removing the protective film, we take into account that it must remain on the wings, otherwise they will stick to the wall. We make the necessary markings, the shape of which you can think up yourself, and the central part we attach butterflies to the wall. Varieties for the sake of insects can be made in different colors and sizes. In the end, you get a great panel, giving the impression that these are real butterflies that sit on the wall.

7) Vintage technique has always been popular. Especially often it is used in decorating furniture, for example, bedside tables.

Do you think that special rhinestones were used to decorate this bedside table? Nothing of the kind is old mother-of-pearl buttons, and under the glass lies the grandmother's handkerchief with embroidery. Agree - not bad?
