Striped wall with stenciled flowers

Follow me on my facebook page
and never miss anything 

I've completed several projects lately but due to lappy break down i cant post anything new. Why? Because i can't transfer pictures from my camera.
 I am sooooo excited to share those projects because they really really are fun and beautiful ones, but now until i get lappy back i've decided to share the old stuff i did once. 
The draw back of sharing old work is i cant keep it detailed. I NEVER thought i'd be blogging some day but i'll try my best to explain well enough without pictures :)
 I posted 2 pictured on my Facebook page and you all selected this:
Ohhh... horrible quality :(
First of all, this is my childhood friend Haleema aka coco's bedroom. The fun memory of this room is I was there for a sleepover and we started this room at 12 midnight and were done with at 7 in morning. That includes emptying the room and then rearranging it :D yes it was that quick. 4 power girls (me, coco, rabi and zaini)  were at work, what else do you expect :D
You all must be wondering WHY THAT PINK PATCH? It was a specific area for random sized foto frames in black.
read the basics about striped wall HERE.
How to do it:
1. Paint the base color.
2. According to desired size make a rectangle with masking tape on wall. This is your photo patch. Here's a new idea to fill it up later

Yesssss...!!! A SELFIE WALLLLL...!!!! 
:D  even i cant wait to try this. Pinterest is love, isnt it.
3. Now start putting up masking tape on random distance from ceiling to floor. To speed up this process, one person should stand on ladder and bring the tape down to the other person on floor. Getting on and off would take alotttt of time and energy by a single person. yes! Kidnap your bff!
4. Let your stripe tape pass through the patch you've made for pictures. Once you're done with tapping, use a blade to cut the tape from edges on the inner part of the patch and remove it.
5. Start with painting the stripes. Once done,  paint the patch. Remove the tapes.
NOTE: DO NOT FORGET TO MAKE THE BALLS OF USED TAPE AND HIT THEM ON YOUR BFF'S HEAD. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. DO NOT SKIP IT :D
6. Draw 3 different sizes of a flower on a paper. Cover the paper in transparent contact paper and the flowers out with blade. This would make a stencil.
7. Now keep placing stencil randomly on the walk and use sponge to dab paint on it.
Andddd you're done!
Sit back and enjoy your masterpiece ;)
I hope the instructions are clear. Dont hesitate to ask me if you get stuck at some point :)

KEEP DREAMING... KEEP DIY-ING :)
XOXOXOXOXOX
