How to make this Tape Wall Art?
Step 1: Prep for the Wall Art
Remove frames, cabinets, storage racks and/or hooks from the wall you plan to paint. Wipe the walls with a damp towel or sponge and allow it to dry.
Use painters tape to mask off your moldings, sockets and ceilings. Press the tape evenly so that the tape sticks well.
This is to prevent any bleed-through. Cover the floor with drop cloth or plastic sheet to protect the floor from paint drips and splatters.
Step 2: Begin Taping from Right
From the right corner, measure 45 degrees from the corner point using a Speed Square/Protractor and mark the angle using a pencil. Stick the 0.75 inch Painters Tape passing through the marked point.
Draw lines parallel to the 1st line using pencil at distance of 5 inches. Make sure to use a light hand when drawing lines. Stick tape on the marked lines. You can change the distance between the lines based on the size of your wall and how big you want the diamond shapes. Keep doing this till you reach the other end of the wall.
Step 3: Begin Taping from Left
Mark your left corner so that it is at the same height of your right corner. Repeat the same taping process. You will start seeing the Lattice Design.
Now, cover some of diamonds using masking tape. You can pick your pattern.
Step 4: Time to Paint
Use a roller and begin painting the wall.
Let the Paint dry for 24 hours before removing the tape. This is to avoid smudging.
Step 5: Carefully Remove Tape
Carefully remove the tape and touch up using a small brush.
Your Diamond/Lattice Tape Wall Art is ready 😁
