Here’s what you’ll need…
- Paint & brush or sponge
- Painter’s tape
- Drop cloth
- Cardboard (7-8 in. wide)
- Utility knife
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Ladder

Step 1: Make your stencil. I drew a line and then cut from the center to about 2 inches down, on each side.

Step 2: Prepare your paint in an easy to grab container. You don’t need much.

Step 3: Practice your paint strokes on your stencil.

Step 4: Apply painter’s tape 4 inches from the left wall, then 8 inches thereafter. The tape marks the center of the herringbone pattern.

Step 5: Take your stencil and paint your first strokes.

Step 6: Hand-paint the remaining strokes in the column, using the surrounding marks as your guide. Repeat steps 5&6 until you’re done.

Remember this does not need to be perfect!

Good luck!!

Alex
