DH and I are thinking about doing stripes on the walls or boxes on one wall in the nursery and are wondering if anyone had any hints/tips on how to make clean lines when taping. We have read in a magazine that you can use like a clear paint to seal off the tape so paint doesn't seap underneath but that seems like an additional step we don't wait to take if at all possible. Any ideas?
Re: Stripes/Boxes on Walls
I did stripes in one room, and diamonds in another room, best tip I have it to tape the entire wall, then go back over the tape and do a thin coat along the tape edges with the base wall color (white or whatever color you plan on having the color under the tape be. THat way when you paint around the tape, nothing can blead through b/c the base wall color will have sealed the tape lines.
Pictures of both rooms in my bio.
This sounds really pretty. I want to do stripes but not too many. Can I see pic of the diamonds?? Also I will like to see pictures of the BOXES that some of you are speaking of.
thanks
Silly me...I am headed to your bio,,,,
This is how we did our stripes as well, the lines turn out perfectly straight!
Love them both!! You did a GREAT job!!!!
Also...I can't wait to try that FROG tape. Thanks y'all!
