WALLIES®
can turn your simple walls into a unique personal statement in a matter
of minutes. And with just a little more time and effort, you may even
surprise yourself with how dramatically you can change the look and feel
of any room.
 |
| Apply
a base coat of ivory latex paint on the wall to be decorated. Let
dry. Measure and mark your wall every 8" with a vertical line (use a pencil lightly or a pink colored pencil). Using the rose pink paint, create a color wash by diluting the paint half and half with water. Remember that the more water you add to the paint, the lighter the color will be on the wall. Expect the paint to be "watery." Dip the 4" brush in the pink wash and wipe the sides of the brush against the edge of your paint tray to remove any excess paint. Using your pencil line as a guide, paint a stripe from the top to the bottom of your wall. Don't be fussy here - because you are using a wash, any irregularities in your pink stripe will look great! Repeat making stripes around your room. Let dry. |
 |
| Using
green paint and a small brush, paint "squiggly" lines
down the center of each pink stripe. Let dry. |
 |
Apply
Dusty Rose WALLIES® Cutouts on the pink stripes and Dusty Rose
Leaf WALLIES® Cutouts on the remaining white stripes. |
