How to Add a Paper Decoration to Wall Paint
- 1). Cut out 12-inch shapes from decorative papers using scissors or pinking shears. Cut out as many shapes as you prefer. Scissors will cut the edges of the shapes with a straight edge, while pinking shears will cut the edges of the shapes with a scalloped edge.
- 2). Paint your walls using colored latex wall paint with a roller paintbrush.
- 3). Press the cut-out shapes onto the wall with the patterned side facing out. Slide your hand over the shapes to remove any air bubbles. Allow the walls to dry for 12 hours.
- 4). Paint on a layer of clear latex wall paint using a clean roller paintbrush. Cover the walls and cut-out paper decorations completely. Allow the walls to dry for another 12 hours.
