Three easy steps to create a tissue paper finish in your home.



Video Transcription:

Three easy steps to a tissue paper finish.

The first step is a two-part process that begins with applying Duration Home Interior Latex Matte paint in your basecoat color.

Cut in with a brush and use a ⅜ inch nap roller to cover an area about four feet square.

Then quickly move to the next part of the step.

Prepare your tissue paper in advance so you can work while your paint is still wet.

Press a crinkled sheet of tissue paper against the wall and use your hands or a soft brush to gently smooth it out.

Random folds and creases are desirable.

Immediately roll over the sheet of paper with your basecoat color to encase it in paint.

Continue this process across the wall overlapping adjacent areas with paint and paper.

Allow the wall to dry completely.

Next apply the Faux Impressions Metallic.

Use a brush to cut into corners and edge near the ceiling and around windows.

Then, continue across the entire wall With a nine inch microfiber roller using a random overlapping pattern.

Once the metallic is dry, mix Faux Impressions Latex Glaze with your glaze coat color of Duration Home Interior Latex Matte paint to create your glaze mixture.

Evenly spread a small amount of the glaze mixture onto a moistened sponge mitt.

Then, rub the glaze on the wall using a random circular action.

As your mitt dries out you may go back over any areas to lighten the glaze coverage and reveal more of the texture and basecoat color.

Continue working across the wall repeating this process and blending areas as you go.

This completes your beautiful tissue paper room.
