Haylee, from Home With Hay, created a fun, striped mural in her craft room to enhance the creativity and uniqueness of her space.
Check out her step-by-step project below!
Supplies Needed
Decide the Stripe Thickness
Mine are about 2.5 in. wide. Then, pick a prominent corner to start and measure that thickness down the length of the wall. Make small marks with a pencil.
Tape off the Stripes
Use a level or laser level as the guide and use FrogTape® Multi-Surface Painter's Tape along your marks, floor to ceiling!
Pro Tip: To achieve perfectly crisp lines, seal your tape edges with a wet rag or the existing paint color on the wall.
Add Some Color
Paint the color of your stripes on. I was painting the whole wall and leaving it to the FrogTape® to do its job!
Remove the Tape
To wrap up, remove the FrogTape® once the paint is no longer super wet. Pull off the green painter's tape slowly and then touch up any imperfections with a small paint brush.
