Step 3Sketch, Paint & Cut
Use your design idea sheet and a pencil to sketch your design on the sheet of contact paper. If necessary, draw grid lines on the paper to make it easier to draw to scale.
Once you're happy with your design, paint it. The paper is transparent so it takes at least 2 coats of paint to cover the design evenly.
Let the sheet of contact dry for at least an hour before you handle it. If it's a humid day, you will need to put a fan on the sheet to speed things up. You want to make sure the paint is completely dry so you won't get any on the wall.
Don't throw away or ruin the scrap pieces of contact paper! You can use them to add stuff to your design or you can use them for another design.
