Stencil painting walls with your hands

Ready the surface for painting must meet all standards of SNIP. In our case the walls are already painted white. For decoration we need one wall: for this we use the molar polyethylene tape and glue over the rest of the wall and the skirting Board to paint on them got.

Once closed the areas that should not be painted, start painting. Take the paint (in this case we have pre-tinted at the hardware store) is based in a single layer 7-10m2 per 1 litre of paint (depending on the type of surface) and use an electric mixer to stir it. Once stirred, pour it into a paint tray and paint roller with a long NAP. The whole process of coloring the surface should not take more than 10-15 minutes, otherwise it may stain and streaks on the surface. When painting on the cushion not to push and not let him “dry out”.

Reminder: on packaging inks there are recommendations to perform the work, strictly stick to them.

After the first layer dries, apply the second. Drying time depends on the type and manufacturer of paint, the first layer, are indicated on the package.

After drying, the second layer carefully remove the tape molar. The resulting finished painted surface.

Now, while the paint dries completely (1-3 days), make a stencil. In DIY stores sold ready-made templates, but we need to be exclusive, so we will make the stencils yourself. To begin, take the paper and draw sketches.

Take the scissors and cut.

As you can see, turned out to be 3 large and 3 small birds. Now transfer the template to a more rigid base from MDF and using a jigsaw cut.

Once done the templates you need from the remaining paint to prepare 3 different shades for a painting. To do this, take 3 containers of 1 liter (can be less) and a mixer.

In the first vessel, pour 5 parts white paint and one part of the core. The second container is white and the basic mix is 1 to 1. The third capacity 300 ml base paint mixed with 20 ml of black tinted paste.

Here I have provided mixing proportions of paint, which was done this room, you can make tones that will have you liking.

Now, we mix.

Get three different shade than the original color.

1. — main color; 2. — color from the first vessel; 3. — color from the second tank; 4. — the color of the third capacitance

Before painting, prepare the bucket with clean water and sponge to wipe drips or blobs.

Now, everything is ready, I recommend to practice on any surface. Best done in pairs: one holds the template, the other painted. Do not dip the brush much, otherwise there will be streaks. Only take paint on the brush tip and stretch it over the surface.
