GIVE YOUR DECORATING A PUNCH WITH A DOSE
OF TRENDY PATTERN. HERE'S HOW TO PAINT A
CHEVRON PATTERN ON YOUR WALLS.

4. WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Paint in two colors Roller brush Yardstick
Ruler Pencil Painter's tape
Crafts knife
Level Crafts brush

5. STEP 1
Paint the wall with a base color and let it
dry. Use a yardstick to determine the
width and length for your chevron
stripes. (This chevron has stripes 12
inches wide and 30 inches long from
peak to each end on a 7-1/2x8 foot
wall.)

6. STEP 2
Decide where you want the chevron's
peak at the top of the wall; mark this
as point A. Measure down the width of
a stripe with a ruler and mark point B;
use the level to ensure the marks are
vertically aligned. Measure the length
of a stripe from the peak to the edge
of the wall and mark point C. From
that mark, measure down the width of
a stripe to mark point D. Use painter's
tape to connect points A and C, and
points B and D. Cut the tape with a
crafts knife to create sharp corners.
Tip: Mark the wall from the top of the wall to the bottom
for one side of the chevron, then move to the other side.

7. STEP 3
With a small roller
brush, paint on the
stripe color. Use
only a small amount
of paint on the roller
to prevent paint from
seeping under the
tape.

8. STEP 4
When the paint is dry,
slowly pull off the tape.
Use a small crafts brush
to make touch-ups.
