How to process branches for decoration?
In order for the composition of branches to have a neat appearance and retain its original appearance for a long time, the parts must be pre-processed.
Hardwoods need to be treated immediately after they are cut. For simple and small compositions, a more obedient birch is suitable.
Preparation of material:
- You need to thoroughly wash the cut branches.
- The surface of the wooden branches should be sanded with sandpaper so that the parts are smooth and even.
- You need to dry the branches by placing them in the oven for 1-2 hours. The main thing is not to overdry the material. If the branches are dry, they need to be moistened with water before starting work; it is difficult to work with overdried wood.
Wood staining
To color branches you can use:
- water-based paint;
- gouache;
- acrylic paint;
- spray paint.
Aerosol paint has a number of advantages compared to other painting materials:
- it is easy to use;
- no brushes are needed to apply it;
- shade matching;
- allows you to achieve the effect of professional painting of any surface.
Most often, acrylic paint is used to paint branch decor. It has no unpleasant odor, is non-toxic, is easy to apply to the surface, dries quickly, and is resistant to external influences. The disadvantages of the material include: high cost, fading of certain types in the sun, delamination of paint during long-term storage.
Wall decor
Dry painted rods with a large number of branches will be a wonderful decoration for the living room, however, here are some points to consider:
- The main secret of this decor is that the rods should be of contrasting color to the wall.
- If the wall is dark in color, then the decoration elements should be either light or have a metallic sheen. If the wall is in a light tone, then it is advisable to use sticks of their natural color or painted in dark colors.
- It is also advisable to think about the lighting of such wall decor made from branches. For these purposes, you can use small candlesticks attached to sticks with glue, spotlights on the ceiling, or a garland wrapped randomly.
Important!
It is thanks to the lighting that this original version of wall decor looks impressive and can turn an ordinary, discreet wall into a stylish part of the room.
Aging wood
To achieve the effect of aged wood, you need to choose branches of pine, oak, larch or walnut. Other types of wood cannot be treated in this way.
Treatment:
- You need to clean the surface of the branches with a stiff wire brush or a drill with a wire brush.
- Apply an ammonia solution, which darkens the wood and gives it an antique effect.
- You need to apply 2-3 layers of varnish.
- To give the product a finished look and add even more shine, you need to rub the wood with a cloth.
