This method of decorating the wall involves stuffing wooden slats around the entire perimeter of the wall and filling the free space with a sintepon. The edge of the fabric, wrapped several times, is attached to the top rail using a construction stapler. Then the material is evenly stretched, excluding creasing, and fixed on the sides and on the lower rail.
Remember:to fix the lower end of the fabric you will need an additional rack taking into account the preliminary measurement of the length of the material to the bottom of the frame. Then the rail, mounted on the bottom edge, is fetched behind the bottom edge of the finished frame and fastened with nails.

Often, the capiton is found both in the design of upholstered furniture, giving it a refined and even aristocratic appearance, and when creating decorative soft panels on the walls.
To perform such a tightening on the surface of the sheet, it is necessary to make holes in the areas of future installation of buttons from which any decorative pattern or pattern can be formed.
Such panels can be made independently or bought already ready. On the back of the sheet a fabric stapler is attached with a construction stapler, then foam is laid. From the remaining sides with a small tightening material is fixed, and the pressing buttons are attached.
Remember:to fasten the buttons, it is better to use kapron thread. It is strong, does not stretch and does not rot. Fixing the thread on the button, pull them through the fabric and filler, thread into the holes in the base sheet. Using a stapler, fix the thread from the back side. To strengthen soft wall panels, use liquid nails or dowels.
4. Creating soft tiles
Technology creating soft panelssimilar to the previous version, when sheets of plywood or chipboard are used. In this case, pieces of plywood of square or rectangular shape and dimensions of 450-600 mm are used as a basis. The material is attached around the perimeter from the back side of the sheet, and the finished soft tiles are fixed to the liquid nails back to back, avoiding dust and dirt.
