Supplies Needed
Step 1
To get started on this DIY nursery decor, gather all of your supplies. To keep things simple, Christin ordered shelves that were already stained. And, these are the nursery paint colors she chose for the nursery décor:
Step 2
Next, tape off your pattern using FrogTape® Delicate Surface Painter's Tape. The dresser and the crib for this nursery have a chevron pattern, so Christin decided on a variation of that.
Tip: Stack the shelves together as if they are one unit to tape off the pattern. Then use scissors to separate the pattern and fold it down.
Step 3
Now it's time to lightly sand the area you’ll paint — a 120 grit sanding block works great to smooth out any uneven areas.
The last step before painting is to seal off and tape the sides of the shelves. This way, you will only paint the section you want. Christin uses a plastic card to smooth out all the tape and ensure a secure seal.
Step 4
You're ready to paint! It took Christin a few light coats of paint to get the desired shade.
WRAPPING UP
Finally, while the paint is still wet, remove the tape to reveal your custom nursery décor.
