Things You'll Need:
- Paint
- Pencil
- Stencil
- Painter's tape
- Stencil brush
- Paper towels
-
Step 1
Clean your wall thoroughly to prepare it for painting. Allow the wall to dry after cleaning. Wipe a towel along areas that are still wet.
-
Step 2
Paint your base color on the wall and then allow the base to dry.
-
Step 3
Use a pencil to draw your design on the wall. The designs are generally closed geometric shapes. Place painter's tape over your pencil marks to divide the areas and prepare for painting.
-
Step 4
Place the end of your stencil brush into your first color. Take the brush out and brush it onto a paper towel using a circular motion. Continue brushing until there is just a little paint left on the brush.
-
Step 5
Brush the paint brush onto the wall within the boundaries you set with the painter's tape. Apply the paint to one area at a time in a wide circular motion and then reverse the direction. Allow the paint to extend over the tape as you brush.
-
Step 6
Add your second color using the same technique. As you add each additional color, note that the previously applied undercoats should continue to show through.
-
Step 7
Apply a third layer of paint if desired. Use the same technique you used for the first and second colors.
