DIY Chevron Wall Painting

Chevron Wall Painting

I'm a sucker for chevron! I really am. I was dreaming of how I could spruce up Audrey's room the other day. I dreamt up painting a chevron design onto a canvas that can be hung on the wall. I love the result and it's so easy! It's the perfect project for an afternoon. You could really scale this to any size.

Here's how to make your own...

Chevron Wall Painting

You will need:

A stretch canvas
Masking tape
Paint
Brush
*A ruler and pencil (*Optional, if you really want to line things up)

Begin by masking off the areas you'd like painted in the chevron pattern.

Paint the canvas! Tip: Make sure the masking tape is firmly pressed against the canvas to prevent any seepage.

Allow the painted canvas to dry and then remove the masking tape carefully!
