I ironed each strip and folded over a seam that was about 3/4 of an inch wide for each.
After I show you this little trick in a second here, you’re going to LOVE your painting tape.So here’s what I did for this little project:.
After painting my base color (the grey) and letting it dry, I decided I wanted a total of 5 stripes, so I just needed to tape off 2 stripes that I would paint on top in the aqua color.I measured where my lines for the edges of the aqua stripes would need to go and marked 3 little dots per line, then I connected the dots with my painting tape, making sure to tape OUTSIDE the stripes that I would be painting on.. Now it’s time to go ahead and paint the aqua stripes on, right?Here’s the trick!
I went back over the inside edges of the tape (where the aqua would be going) with the grey color again to really seal the tape down.Any bleeding that occurs when you do this will be the base color and will be invisible!
The second part of this tip is to use a thin.
or even something like a q-tip to do this step.I don’t hate it, but I wouldn’t exactly call it “amazing.”.
As much as I thought I wanted a little curtain in here to bring in some soft fabric, I’m now pretty sure that I’ll just put the wreath back up that was there for the last year.So you see, it’s a good thing that I have a fear of commitment and didn’t go out and buy a curtain rod like a sucker..
So the hot glue will be popped off the frame and the wreath will go back up.Oh, and I guess I should finish painting the walls too, huh?.
