How To Paint Bamboo Shoots~~

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm back with a new wall. This time it's my MBR. I didn't have alot of time , so I decided to paint these bamboo shoots. So really easy and fast.

What you need :

Just A4 paper , recycled ones are better :D

Scissors

Paint

Small foam roller

Patience

( That's it ) :sport-smiley-018:

When adding paint to roller , ensure that excess paint to removed. You want to use as less paint as possible so that the paint won't smudge or drip :paint:

Simply fold paper & cut long rectangles.

Any width will do,coz bamboos comes in different sizes and thickness anyways :)

What I did was cut 4 pcs of paper at the same time

Start from the top and work your way down

Complete the bamboo shoots 1st , then proceed with the leaves.

For the leaves , it doesn't have to be perfect.

Ramdomly place the leave stencil in any position and your done :notti:

any idea how to paint a wall with cat silhouettes? :wub: :wub:

Hi Applefreak,

Silhouettes are easy , esp cats . But i depends on the movement & position of the cats. It's the same thng , use A4 paper , for biger projects I sometimes use vanguard sheet, it's thicker.

After cutting , stick a small double sided tape ramdomly behind the paper and stick to wall.

This will prevent the cutouts from tearing or paint from smudging.

Then use foam roller to paint. use as lil paint as possible. That's it. Surf the net to find cat silhouettes.

Example :

eh, the paper wont go soggy with the paint ah?

and do you tape them in place while stencilling?

Hi hi...

The paper will not get soggy provided you don't use too much paint.

That's why its inportant to remove any excess paint.

And yes , I tape the corners of the stencil :):):)

Hi clockwork, I'm really amazed by your creativity. Been a silent admirer of your artworks. haha :)

For each new bamboo, do you use a new paper or do you "reused" it over and over again? And what kind of paper to use - ordinary A4 paper?

I thought of doing a Chandelier for my room but still waiting for my "boss" approval.

Hi Yellow ,

I use a new stencil for every new bamboo. Recycle paper of coz. Take from office :P

I just use normal A4 paper.

I cut 4 pieces of paper at the same time , the great thing about bamboo stencil , it doesn't have to be so perfect.

What I do is , I cut the stencil the day before :D

I watch TV and cut at the same time. :D

So I have all the pieces of stencil ready when I'm ready to paint.

The whole painting process took me only barely 1 hr to complete :paint:

:yamseng::yamseng::yamseng:

Thanks, clockwork. At least now I got a bit of idea how to do it.. :)
