How- to create a checkerd design on your wall

This post will give you step to step directions on how to create a checked pattern on your wall. Its so easy to create and you don't need any fancy design skills.. You will need a blank wall and a few simple supplies. When you are finished you will have a beautiful design that will add character to any room.

Step One

-Before you begin pick out the surface you want to use.
-Make sure its clean and you fill in any holes with putty.
-After you fill the holes sand them down so the surface is even with the rest of the wall.
-Pick out 2 colors that you want to use. Have fun and be adventurous. Depending on the size of the wall will determine how much paint you need.





Hardware store shopping list:
1. Buy a large painters sponge  (you can cut into smaller squares depending on your preference)
2. Paint .0z
3.  Painters tray
4. Roller and paint brushes
5. Blue painters tape
6. Mixing stick


- The next steps will be easier than you think. You dont need a ruler or any fancy tools. Just a square sponge and a flat surface.

Step 1- Paint your wall one color and choose a different color for your checkerd pattern.

Step -2 Get a pan and pour your checker paint in the paint pan. Grab your sponge and dip it in the pan. Make sure you get an even amount of paint across the surface.

Step 3-Begin in the top left corner with your first square.

Step 4- Connect the corners precisely. For example connect the bottom right corner with the top left corner of your new square.

Step 5- Continue to do this across your entire wall until you have a checkerd design complete.

HELPFUL TIPS:

-Make sure you push down evenly so the square has paint on all corners.

-Match the corners up closest to the tip as possible to get the most out of your square.

- Its ok if you have to go back over the squares to make sure there filled in with as much color as possible.
