More Fun Art Ideas with Preval

Posted on Monday, September 26th, 2011 at 12:01 PM

I'm finding myself more and more great ideas for homemade art for the home! It's really easy to find so many great projects to use the Preval Sprayer for! I came across this great set of 4 art pieces on Etsy.com! I just knew it was something I could recreated on my own!

Materials Needed:

  • Vinyl stickers
  • Stencil
  • X-acto knife
  • Craft paint (color of your choice)
  • Thinner
  • 11" X 11" square stencil, or ruler and marking pencil
  • 2" Painters tape
  • Preval Sprayer

What to do:

  1. If you have a square stencil, mark out the square with the marking pencil. If you do not have a stencil for this, using a ruler, measure out 11" X 11" squares to the wall of your choice!
  2. Apply painters tape along the pencil markings to avoid excess spray.
  3. Using your stencil of choice and marking pencil, trace the design you want to use inside the squares.
  4. Using the X-acto knife, cut out the design.
  5. Carefully remove the backing of the vinyl sticker and apply within the traced squares.
  6. Once the designed stencils are applied, mix your paint with thinner (2:1paint to thinner) in the reservoir.
  7. Attach power unit and test on a small scrap of paper to prime the nose.
  8. Spray paint over vinyl stickers within the squares.
  9. Allow to dry and see if you want a darker or richer color, apply a second coat.
  10. Carefully remove painters tape from wall.

Now you're all good to go! Fresh new art work on your wall.
