DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Faux painting techniques, like this double-process burlap strie, can add grace and sophistication to any room.
Step 4: Apply the first process strie color.
Using a quality 4-inch latex paint brush, apply the single-process color to the wall in the same direction you want the stripes to run, which is horizontally in this case. Leave a little more paint at the beginning of the run so that you have additional paint to pull across with strie brush. Apply enough paint to cover the width of two passes of the strie brush you will be using. Paint the entire length of the wall.
Apply enough paint to cover two widths of the strie brush.
