Polka Dots

Looking for an inexpensive way to decorate

your nursery? Try polka dots. All you need

is ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape, a little bit of

paint, and a few supplies you may already

have at home. With a few simple steps,

you'll have a playful pattern that your kids

will grow to love.

TOOLS

 ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape

 Paints, brush, roller & tray

 5-in-1 tool/putty knife

 Wax paper

 Utility knife

PREPARATION

 Remove any wall hangings (pictures, nails,

fixtures)

 Fill nail holes, then use sandpaper to smooth

the wall

 Make sure wall is clean, dust-free and dry

completely

Step By Step Guide:

Step 1: Mask & Paint Base

Mask trim, baseboards and non-

textured ceilings with ScotchBlue™

Painter's Tape. Hint: use the chart on

page 2 to find the right tape for your

project. Paint the wall your lighter

base color, and let it dry for 24 hours.

Step 2: Draw Template

Overlap strips of tape on a piece of

wax paper. Seal the edges with long

strips of tape. Then trace a circle onto

the tape using a coffee can lid or plate

as a guide.

Step 3: Cut Out Circles

Cut out the circle with a utility knife.

You now have one polka dot template

and one polka dot center. Repeat

steps 2 and 3 to create enough

templates for each polka dot in your

wall pattern.

Step 4: Lay Out Design Tape the polka dot centers (the circles you cut out) along the wall to lay out your design. This will allow you to easily adjust the pattern and make sure you like it before you set the template and start to paint. Step 7: Paint the Dots Apply the darker accent paint to the polka dot templates. Let the paint dry for 24 hours. Step 5: Set the Pattern Step 6: Seal Edges Place polka dot templates over polka dot centers, with the wax paper facing the wall.
