Making a checkered wall in this nursery makeover using FrogTape Yellow. #diy #makeover
What happens here
Once the paint has dried completely, begin carefully peeling off the yellow painter's tape from the wall. It is recommended to pull the tape at a slow, consistent pace and at a 45-degree angle, pulling away from the freshly painted line. This technique helps ensure crisp, clean lines and prevents the tape from pulling off any of the newly applied paint or the base coat. If any paint has bled under the tape or edges are not perfectly sharp, minor touch-ups can be done using a small artist's brush later.
Goal: Uncover the crisp checkered pattern by removing the tape.
