Ever notice
that your blank bathroom walls are a bit boring? Considering the
fact that you and your family probably frequent this location
a lot you might want to do something to liven it up a bit. My
sister Dana has a great idea for a treatment, guaranteed to make
those walls bubble over with fun.
Supplies:
- firm paintbrush
- various-coloured
paints (we used pink and white, but feel free to use your favourites)
- iridescent
paint
- tiny disposable
cups
Method:
Pour the
paint into cups.
Starting with the pink paint, begin to create circles of various
sizes on the wall. Continue until you achieve the number that
you want.
Use iridescent paint to create the sheen part of the bubble. If
it doesn't show up well, you can go over it again once it's dry.
Using white paint, create shadows on the bubbles by imagining
where the light source would shine on them.
Complete the look by adding some bursting bubbles by painting
tiny lines, which shoot outward.
This faux
bubble treatment looks great when framed around shampoos, conditioners,
or anything in the corner of your bathroom. Keep in mind that
the look can also work well in your laundry room.
As an option,
if you don't want to do such a drastic change to your wall, you
can paint onto your light switch plates. Using a variety of colours,
paint various things on them, such as fish, balloons, happy faces,
or flowers. Anything goes!
