And what wonderful lessons...What a nice Christmas. And what wonderful lessons you are teaching your children!<BR/>Thanks for the comment on my blog. The stripes were pretty easy. <BR/>First I got a level and marked off horizontally where I wanted the top of the stripes to be (with a pencil). <BR/>Then I painted, using the lighter of the two colors to do the entire area I had taped off. (a useful tip I learned is to take a small brush after you have taped everything off and using your current wall color...i.e.I used the beige color...just go along the edges of the tape. this acts as a seal and prevents the other color from bleeding through the tape.)<BR/>Let this paint dry thoroughly before continuing. (do not remove the tape.)<BR/>Next, get a ruler and mark the length of your stripes (I think mine were 7 inches). Then using the level, mark your lines diagonally with a pencil and tape them off. Place the tape on the inside of the lines that you want to remain your base color. I also used the non-bleed technique here to keep the blue from running into the green.<BR/>Let your paint dry well before removing the tape. And you're done!<BR/>Sorry it was so long. But really it is very simple. <BR/>Hope I explained it well.<BR/>Thanks!<BR/>ashashley bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359784100834039169noreply@blogger.com
