Color Blocking {DIY}

Hello There Readers!

[Color Blocking] What is it? In the hair world it means to take a section of hair in any shape and color it a solid color. It can be positioned anywhere with any color and any thickness.

After staring at this wall in my living room for two months, I had to come up with something. I went with my gut and did this technique. I AM OBSESSED!

[Supplies]
Painters Tape
Paint
Brush/Roller

Decide where you are going to do this and what you want your design to be. I chose to do Triangles, and frankly that is my favorite go to for hair too.

[Steps]

Tape off the sections you want painted. I first started with one triangle and then built off that.

As you may or may not be able to tell I do have the walls already painted in a warm gray. I took my painters tape and eyeballed where I wanted my tape to lay. I then made sure that it was pressed down nice and snug. For the next part please DO NOT skip. It is the most essential, beneficial, perfect line maker trick ever created. Take whatever your original wall color paint is and paint over the tape. This is creating a bond between the tape and wall, so your next color will not be able to bleed out and give you those ugly lines. TRUST ME, I am warning you.

This is what it will look like once you painted over the tape. Once that dries color in the lines.

I needed to do three coats to achieve the right saturation. (Color is Naval from Sherwin Williams)

I then decided to go ahead and a do a smaller triangle below, following the same exact steps.

There you have it. I promise it is super easy to do. Where are you going to color block?
