🖌 As I made lace plaster on the wall of old curtains

textured plaster or draw patterns on the walls - it is usually the work of high-level professionals. Such work requires a lot of effort, so it is worth not just expensive, but very expensive. But the craftsmen are constantly coming up with some kind of life hacking, which can achieve the original result in unexpected ways. Svetlana Krylova of Moscow sent HouseChief edition vivid master class on how to use the old curtains to make an exclusive wall coverings.

Hello my dear craftsmen! I want to join your community and make a contribution to the treasury of ideas. I like to experiment and try something new. I have great interest in studying the materials of the different variants of textured plaster, and I really liked the one experience in which the author used a lacy cloth to form a pattern. Lace I do not have, but there are some old net curtains with a very beautiful pattern. I use them at home for the decoration of the walls, and individually prepared for you a master class with a detailed description.

Option 1: the easiest to obtain a clear pattern

The most important thing in this business - quality training grounds. On uneven walls achieve a good result it is very difficult. So, if your intention is to repair - do not spare the time for preparatory work.

The walls must be pre-applied primer deep penetration, so that subsequent layers of paint securely held on the surface

Apply primer on top of any color that fits your decor. It is desirable that the dye was intense, so get drawing bright and contrast

When the paint is dry, attach to the wall a piece of tulle. So that it securely snaps, use masking tape. Good stretch fabric to avoid wrinkles and sagging

Using a spatula, apply directly on top of the fabric textured paint or plaster. Iron the paint to penetrate through the mesh pattern. Doing this will have quite quickly, because the further manipulation of the tissue must be performed while the paint is still wet plaster,

Once the entire surface is filled, it is necessary to remove tissue from the top down movement, taking it away from the wall and trying not to damage the image

Depending from the lower tone image will be brighter or whiter. The second layer, you can do a simple white or tinted in a contrasting color. If we take two similar tone pattern will Just noticeable and hardly noticeable, if you need just that - please

The difference in the figures depends on your tulle. Than it transparent, the greater will be the second tone and vice versa

Very good in the old "Soviet" tulle with a clear and voluminous drawing. After use, while water-soluble paint is still wet, rinse and tulle can be used for this purpose again.

Option 2: the imitation of noble antiquity

If your wall is not quite perfect, and you do not want to get a clear picture, we can imitate noble old days, when the figure barely seen and looks like its 100 years.

This wall must be covered with plaster on the entire surface. Of course, again on the primed base

Then, as in the first case, it is necessary to fix the curtain masking tape or another convenient way for you

Now - second layer: it, in contrast to the first embodiment need not be applied over the entire surface. You can put it thicker or thinner in places the wall irregularities. So figure manifest not uniformly, but as if he had been lost over the years

This plaster can be subjected lissirovke. This method involves adding a small amount of caramel in a transparent acrylic varnish. If the cover wall in such a composition with a sponge, drawing manifest

But you can go a little bit the other way: to paint the wall the color you want, and then make the image appear a bit by removing the surface layer. First, you can do it with a scraper, not too pushing it so as not to tear the entire layer

After that, it is necessary to walk on the wall cloth with zero grain: patterns begin to appear lighter shades

Do not get carried away, to simulate the image of antiquity should just barely shine

Thereafter, it is possible lissirovat wall acrylic lacquer, slightly stressing the result.

What happens as a result of: lacy plaster

So, using the same tulle you can get two results:

Here is the noble old man, in which there is no contrasting colors, but there is a textured surface, accentuated abrasion and lissirovkoy

But Frosty pattern looks as obtained by means of two contrasting colors

I hope that my small workshop useful to someone. Thank you very much for your attention!

We thank Svetlana for a great story and informative illustrations. Using a tissue to create patterns on the walls - a technique that is rapidly gaining popularity. In this case, it acts as a tulle stencilWhich partially transmits paint or plaster.
