Krafty Korner: Murals

Murals are an easy and cheap way to personalize a room. All you need to accomplish this project is a pencil, some paint and a little imagination. We use all different kinds of paints in tubes and cans. We always try to use the left overs of previous projects. The one thing to remember is never use oil based paints as they take a long time to dry. My project tip is to put a clear coat of gel medium over the finished piece of art. This glaze gives a little luster and protects the precious work of art. If you use gel medium, covering the entire wall to give a consistent look. Over the years our homes have been filled with birds in dining rooms and landscapes in entries. Murals are fun and if you tire of the scene all you need to do is paint over your last creation. Have fun with the space you create. Attached are our
nursery creations thus far. Enjoy!!
