Sometimes literally.
Even if you use a high quality tape, you’ll still often end up with paint bleeding and little blips here and there just because of user error or weird humidity or something like that.After I show you this little trick in a second here, you’re going to LOVE your painting tape.
So here’s what I did for this little project:.After painting my base color (the grey) and letting it dry, I decided I wanted a total of 5 stripes, so I just needed to tape off 2 stripes that I would paint on top in the aqua color.I measured where my lines for the edges of the aqua stripes would need to go and marked 3 little dots per line, then I connected the dots with my painting tape, making sure to tape OUTSIDE the stripes that I would be painting on.. Now it’s time to go ahead and paint the aqua stripes on, right?
Here’s the trick!I went back over the inside edges of the tape (where the aqua would be going) with the grey color again to really seal the tape down.
Any bleeding that occurs when you do this will be the base color and will be invisible!
The second part of this tip is to use a thin.Did I tell you I found the paint in my basement?.
It’s going to be stunning about 10 15-minute installments from now..I feel like I should tell you that I can’t wait to show you the big reveal, but the truth is I can wait.
I’m loving this!Well, yes, actually I am.I’m sure that I like all these cafe curtains that I’ve been seeing around.
