Process

Here’s the step-by-step process to create the feature wall start wing the paint design!

Paint

First, remove any furniture away from wall.
Next, prepare the wall by giving it a light cleaning to remove any dirt, dust, and scuff marks.
Then, cover any nearby items with a drop cloth or plastic sheet to protect them from paint splatters.
Next, select your first paint color and carefully, dab, drag, or sling the paint on the wall in a random pattern.
Layer on your next paint colors using the same techniques, alternating your paint brush size as you go for more texture and variation.
Let the paint completely dry.

Wall Mounts

First, decide how many balls you want to mount on your wall and how far apart you want them to be. (Map them out on the ground before working on the actual wall).
Use a measuring tape and or/laser level to mark the drill holes for the display mounts.
Follow the instructions on the ball holders you purchased to anchor them to the wall.
Finally, arrange the balls on your display wall, take a step back, and admire your hard work!
