Easy to repeat!
Turn your walls in to very realistic stone brick with this stencil. The
bricks are 7 1/2" x 4 1/2" each with two large bricks on the top and one
center set brick with two 1/2 bricks on each side on the bottom for "end of
the wall" treatments.
Try adding powdered fabric dye close to the color
you want your bricks right in to the joint compound (for instance, rich,
dark beige?) to make your project go much quicker! Once the compound is dry,
sponge a coordinating brick color over the top just here and there and maybe
add just a tich of gold acrylic paint with a liner brush in long, wavy lines
for truly elegant stone bricks! What fun!
You can do your bricks in any colors you choose!
How about browns and deep reds for that "common" brick look. Grays for
softer more neutral bricks, or even greens and cream with splashes of silver
here and there. There is no end to what you can do! Painting your wall the
color you would choose for your "grout" eliminates the need to go back and
then add grout color after the plaster is applied. |
