Paint the wall entirely with the lighter of the two colors, then use a tape measure to space where you want the stripes to be and mark them lightly with a pencil. Then place a laser level on your pencil marks and apply painter's tape over the laser. Then paint your stripes carefully between the pieces of tape.

The best way to paint stripes on your bedroom wall would be to measure with a ruler and mark the wall in pencil. Then use painters tape to mark off the edges of the stripes. Using the painters tape will give you clean lines.

You can do this by first painting the wall with a solid color of paint. Use a paint color that you want one of the stripe colors to be. Next use painters masking tape to mark the even vertical stripes on your wall. Paint between every other set of pieces.

The best way to do this is to first envision what you want for width of stripes. Use masking tape to keep lines straight and paint in between the lines.

Take any thick or hard paper or any thick book cover.And then cut into design whatever you wants. You cut that design properly.Then you place into that wall and apply paint after that u take it out.It will come very nicely.
