The technique of faux painting adds grace and sophistication to any room. Striped effects create rich textures and handmade detail that cannot be matched by wallpaper patterns, and they make a room with a low ceiling appear taller.
Step 12: Repeat steps #10 and #11. After you apply the pattern to the first stripe or two, put aside the cotton rag and paint the process color on the next masked areas. Apply the process color with smooth, even strokes. Wad up a new, clean, cotton rag into a loose ball. Lightly pressing the rag to the wall, apply a pattern to the next stripe by removing some of the process paint.
Use a new cotton rag for the next couple stripes.
