Since I was non going to purchase the stencil I laid to exercise my template.
1. Using a poster board I began drawing on the dorsum of it circles. I used a plate, together with drew the maiden off circle on a corner of the poster board (fig. 1 ), thence I continued drawing together with connecting circles every bit you lot run into inwards fig. 2.
2. Another circle was depict inwards the middle of them ( fig. 3), creating the basic design.
3. Using a foursquare ruler I drew at 1 time lines throughout the middle of the circles (fig. 4), doing it both ways (fig. 5), that helped me to move along drawing perfectly aligned circles.
4. I cutting the poster board to discard pieces that didn't convey perfectly total or one-half circles (fig.6,7).
5. Now it was time to cutting amongst the utility knife. I cutting the figure within each circle, making certain non to larn all the means to the corners (fig. 8). Do non discard the cutting out pieces yet, afterward on you lot are going to involve some of them.
6. I did non cutting throughout the pattern at both ends to maintain the stencil sturdier (fig. 9). The diameter of each circle was 8-inches (fig. 10).
7. With the stencil cook it was fourth dimension to depict the pattern onto the wall. I began at the overstep left corner (fig. 11), continuing correct together with down, making certain it was level. I used a pencil simply its amend to purpose a coloring pen that matches the coloring of pigment you're going to purpose to pigment the design.
8. With the cutting out pieces it was easier to draw to a greater extent than or less those difficult to arrive at places together with corners (fig. 13).
9. I was unsure of what coloring to use, I painted my 3 options together with settle onto the left one, metallic element gray on grey. Fig. 14. ( Even though I did painted my choices on the wall, it's non a adept idea! I had a difficult fourth dimension roofing the ones that were non chosen!)
10. I used FolkArt arts and crafts pigment Metallic Gunmetal Gray, it worked amend for me using a apartment angled artist's paintbrush (Fig. 15).
11. I set painter's record all to a greater extent than or less the surface area to endure painted.
Then I had to paint, together with paint, together with paint!!! Believe me I am a rattling patient mortal spell doing something similar this, simply past times the fourth dimension I was inwards the middle of it I was non happy :/
Total icon time: 10 long hours!!! Thanks goodness it was a modest wall! At the maiden off I was thinking of applying 2 coats simply after my tertiary hr of icon I knew that was it!! I was non going to exercise a instant coat. period! You tin run into my "when am I going to finish?" confront (fig.16)! together with that was the beginning!
Well, I similar how it turned out, simply I wonder if it was all worth it!
Spending $40 addition S&H or pass 10 hours of icon amongst a rattling sore wrist?! What exercise you lot think?
I involve to spruce it upward a litte bit, that's going to endure until side past times side time!
