Decorative plaster confidently pressed the traditional wallpaper in homes and apartments. These masters can simulate using a conventional filler marble, fur and even the skin. Get a very original interior, not like anything else. All this can be learned, and it has proven Christina Glandin from Petrozavodsk. She suggested the owl version of "reptilian" plaster, for which she also produced and tools. About his experience Christina wrote to the editor HouseChief, and we are happy to share with you her story.
All greetings from Karelia! Girls, have you ever been called a snake in jest or in earnest? I am now lucky I is not offended. Well, what if born in the year of the snake. And I must say that have a weakness for everything that has something to do with the Reptilians. I only bags in crocodile design four pieces. My husband too often jokes about it. Then one day he doshutilsya. Now he sleeps in the bedroom with crocodile plaster.
Tools for creating a "leather" plaster
In principle, the tools for the job can be found on sale or on the same Aliekspress. But to make their own hands is not difficult, so do not waste time and money. You will need only a rubber rollers and gun with hot glue.
The markup is ready. Now on the rollers need to make a relief that will be to push the surface of the plaster to form the desired pattern to us.
When the glue hardens - rolls ready to go. Everything will go on from strength half an hour. Agree, this is not difficult. And there is a ready to roll from 600 rubles. Saving almost tripled!
Formation of the decorative surface
To create a relief surface does not require any special structure, you should use an ordinary mortar, which is used for plastering.
Staining of plaster under the "crocodile"
For the result, close to the natural, it is important to choose the right color. Than it is naturally better.
This plaster - very bright element, so that it is easy to overdo it. In my version of it to decorate the wall behind the headboard, and the rest of the walls are smooth and bright. So it is possible to make panels for decoration or even some decorative elements. I hope someone does come in handy.
Christine gave us excellent photos and very detailed description of the process. The result is really very close to the original. This experience will be useful to many who seek the original design. As additional material, we offer you a similar workshop on the creation of such a pattern in the design of the room:
