Step-by-Step Photo Demonstration
|
|
|
First prep your walls and gather your paints and supplies. (In the following photos, the walls were first prepped with a cloud and sky background.) Many paint stores can color match to your bedding and existing decor. Many also sell small sample size amounts of paint - these are perfect for murals.

Unpack your Bug on a Wall mural patterns. The patterns arrive full size and ready to use - no projector needed. We supply transfer paper, complete instructions and a paint-by-number guide with every order.
|
|
|
|
|
Cut out your patterns and decide where to locate them on your walls - kids love to help with this step! Loosely tape the patterns to the wall with masking or painter's tape.
|
|
|
|
|
Slide the transfer paper between the pattern and the wall and firmly trace the design with a pencil, moving the transfer paper as needed under bigger patterns.
|
|
|
|
|
When the outline and all interior lines are traced, remove the pattern from the wall. Darken any light lines with your pencil. Now you have what amounts to a "coloring book" on your wall.
|
|
|
|
|
Follow the paint-by-number guide to fill in between the lines, or better yet - use your creativity and imagination to design your own color scheme! Be sure to allow plenty of time for painting, darker colors generally require at least two coats.
|
|
|
|
|
Bug on a Wall patterns allow you to paint one pattern at a time and add to your design as your schedule allows. You can outline your design with a fine brush and add your own creative touches.

Finally - Stand back and let your child's imagination take over...
