Paint wall decor / wall tattoos yourself

Who would like to paint motives on the wall instead of sticky wall tattoos / wall decor, here is a method I just practiced again:

You google for a suitable motif, in my case it was a seagull that I wanted to paint in the bathroom on the wall. After you have found a suitable image, paint the outline with pencil in the desired size on a not too thin cardboard and then cut the image carefully.

The cardboard with the cut out motif is applied to the desired place on the wall with Tesakrepp. Then you paint the subject with matching color (I have taken pale blue tinting color from the bottle). It can be quite a bit uneven in the paint, which looks compared to a finished tattoo beautifully "hand painted". After drying, the cardboard is removed from the wall and the outlines of the decor are still slightly tightened with a fine brush. Finished!


And because a single seagull is so alone, I fix a second dazugemalt. The whole action took less than an hour.

Soon I will paint the wall in the child room of my godchild with his favorite animal (kangaroo). There are also motives in abundance on the net.

Of course you can do it with PC-expression, but I think painting on cardboard is more fun! And difficult are these tattoo pictures not to trace.
