In general, liquid wallpaper - a kind of universal plaster, which is based on textiles.
Components of liquid wallpaper
By cellulose fibers we mean ordinary colored cotton wool. To produce this element it is enough to buy cotton in the shop, dye it with ordinary dye for fabric and cut it into small pieces.
Similarly, you can prepare wool fibers, synthesizers, flax fibers, polyester and other varieties.
To get textile fibers, you need to buy a sufficient number of coils of threads of different colors, to understand the necessary size of the fibers in advance and just cut them. The procedure is quite a long one, but the result can be achieved.
Pulp glue can be bought in almost any construction shop. Or find and read the recipe for cellulose glue with your own hands.
Acrylic is a binding component. It allows you to protect the finishing layer from moisture. You can buy it in specialized shops or on the Internet.
Glitter - this characteristic means such mineral components as mother-of-pearl, quartz or marble dust, mica and others. These components should be selected in the smallest possible fraction.
Anti fungal additives are similarly available in stores. It is important to note that these are fungicides. Pay attention to sodium silicate (so-called liquid glass).
How to make living wallpaper with your own hands
There may be a lot of options. Technically, the variations are not limited, in other words, the production of living wallpaper can be put on your fantasy (within reasonable limits).
It is possible to use a glue base made by hand. It is possible to use the glue bought from the shop. Also use a glue base, which is diluted on the basis of acrylic plaster.
So, we have already selected 3 variants of glue base preparation:
1.Glue of own preparation;
2.Natural adhesive base for professional development;
3.Acrylic plaster.
The filler will be the above mentioned fabric fibers, sequins, colored wool, etc. In general, everything that has been prepared by your imagination and long enough processes of crushing.
Preparation sequence
At this stage, we summarize all the above recommendations and preparation processes.
We extract and grind the filler. Here you need to work hard, because the more filler, the better the visual presentation, when the wallpaper will be on the wall.
We mix all the components with the adhesive base. Components should be mixed unevenly - it will look more effective. The basic shades are better to stir evenly. Everything else - in any way.
Apply to the walls and wait for it to dry completely. The lacquer can be applied if necessary.
