Using a cabbage to paint a wall doesn't sound like something that would give successful results. Try this technique and see. Read on to learn how to paint a wall using a cabbage.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cabbage
  • Two shades of paint
  • Paint brushes
  1. Step 1

    Choose two shades of paint that complement each other. Keep in mind they will both be on the same wall and one will over lap the other.

    With one of the shades of paint, paint the entire wall. Paint at least two coats. Allow the wall to dry for 24 hours.

  3. Step 3

    Once the wall is dry, cut a cabbage in half. Make sure you test the cabbage before applying onto the wall. By cutting the top versus length-wise you will get a better result. The cabbage print will appear more like a flower.

Tips & Warnings
  • You only get one chance to stamp the cabbage so make sure to test it before you apply it to the wall.
