How to Paint a Fairy Theme Room
- 1). Tape off around the doors, windows, ceilings and baseboards with painter's tape. Select two adjacent walls for the water feature of your painting and tape off a slightly wavy line of painter's tape two feet from the baseboards. Fairies love water almost as much as they love flowers, so you may prefer to have the water feature run around the room on all four walls. Roll the deeper blue on the wall below the tape line.
- 2). Run another line of tape all the way around the room that is four to five feet from the baseboards. This is your meadow so make the line uneven and hilly in places. Paint the meadow with the green wall paint. Paint the remaining section of the wall sky blue. Remove the tape and use a small paintbrush to fill in the lines left by the tape with either blue or green. Let all of the wall paint dry completely.
- 3). Draw a tree trunk in one corner of the room with branches extending along both adjacent walls. Perfection is not an issue so you can free hand the tree or project on onto the wall and trace it. Paint the trunk brown with patches of green to simulate moss. Fill the branches with green leaves that you can free hand, stamp or project.
- 4). Place bunches of flowers throughout the meadow at the skyline, waterline and among the solid green of the meadow. Again, project these onto the wall and trace them if you aren't comfortable drawing them free handed. Fill in the colors of the flowers with acrylics.
- 5). Add fairies, butterflies and dragonflies around the flowers, in the tree, over the water and in the sky. You can purchase decals instead of painting these intricate creatures, or you could project them and then trace them on the wall.
