Creating mural for your child's bedroom is a long and complicated process but well worth
the effort. As long as you make sure you have the necessary supplies on hand. You want to
make sure you have everything you need so you don't have start and stop and go all the
time and that you're able to do a great product. First, we're going to need to have a variety
of rollers. I recommend having two small rollers two large rollers so that then you can alter
if you're using them in a different paint colors. You don't have to wait to wash them
and dry them. Also of course, need painting trays at least two of these. Again the same
reason with the rollers so that you can be working with multiple colors at the same time.
Also a good flat head screwdriver really great for opening up paint cans. A variety of brushes
big just typical painting brushes nothing special about these guys just yet some nice
masking tape. Of course, the paint roller covers they're going to be very important
to us. I recommend having a foam brush. These are very good for some of the random detail
work that we're going to be doing later on moving on, a good painting stick, a sponge.
A sponge both to clean up the mistakes we have and also to again add some of the painting
effects we're going to do today. Some good painting tape to cover up those surfaces a
good strong sharp pencil so make sure you also have your pencil sharper on hand. Now,
we're getting more specialized. These are brushes that are actually usually used for
oil painting and acrylic. So, we're actually going to want these because these are going
to be some of the detail work we're going to do that work pretty well also for doing
detail on just wall paint murals. A painting pole preferably extendible if you can get
one but also like one of the wooden poles would work just fine too this would make it
both easier to paint, quicker to paint and also would help be able to adjust pole to
have greater control over how you paint which is critical for a mural. At last but not least
of course paint, paint lots of paint. Paint in small cans, paint in big cans lots of paint
in addition to having a drop cloth to cover up everything to protect your surfaces.
