The first question I want to address before I start this post is, “WHY did you use spray paint?” Well, I tried a few different “metallic” paints, but nothing was giving me the finish I wanted, so I decided to try spray paint. It gave me the exact finish I was hoping for!
So, here’s how I did it:
1. First, measure and tape the outside of the stripes using Frog Tape. (I love this tape and would HIGHLY recommend it! It gives you perfect stripes. 🙂 )
2. Use a similar color to roll on as a base coat. I just got a sample for a few bucks in a “gold-ish” color.
3. Use craft paper or painter’s paper to cover the wall surrounding the stripes and the ceiling. Also, use drop cloths on all the furniture and flooring.
4. Spray paint over the painted stripe. (DO NOT remove the tape in-between steps!)
5. Remove the paper carefully (so you can keep reusing it) and the Frog Tape (don’t try to reuse the tape, you want your lines to be crisp!).
6. Stand back and marvel in the beautiful stripes! 😉
MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS IN A WELL VENTILATED ROOM AND USE A MASK, preferably a respirator!
I got fancy on the corners and used some of the metallic paint to add contrast, so get creative!
Have you experimented with anything lately? How did it come out? I’d love to know!

Girl, those gold stripes are awesome, so striking and really go so well with your gorgeous curtains. Where did you get your curtains? They both really compliment each other. The gold with the pretty tan is perfect.
I’ve been wanting new bedroom curtains so think I’ll be making them out of drop cloths and stenciling. Ones I want are way too expensive in stores. Love colors on your curtains also. Happy week
JaneEllen, I got them at Kirkland’s. You might be able to find them online? They were on sale, but I saw them the last time I was in their store.
Looks Amazing! Question though- How did you achieve the two-tone look on the edge of each stripe? – Thanks!
While going through different platforms that are accessible in Nigeria, I noticed how many of them still feel slow or poorly structured. It takes time just to understand how everything works, which can be frustrating. During this search, I came across 1win com and decided to explore it a bit. It seems to have a more refined setup, where things are placed in a way that makes sense from the start. You don’t feel overwhelmed, and the overall flow is easier to follow. For users in Nigeria, it looks like a more convenient and modern option compared to many others.
An influencer I follow in London, Ontario recommended this place for a fun night. I had been on a losing streak and was starting to get annoyed. I decided to try https://corgibet.ca/ and spent my evening on card games. The machine games were a total blast and I hit a major payout. I earned enough to be completely satisfied with my week. It is a great way to spend time in Canada when you are bored at home. I am happy.
