How to Paint Diagonal Stripes on Chair Back Round Slats
-
AvonelleRed on Oct 04, 2014I would first tape the ruler diagonally to the chair back above or below where you want your first stripe to be, and leave it there while you wrap tape around the parts you don't want painted. Then move the ruler down or up and repeat the process. If you use one ruler on each side of the chair back, you can be more consistent with your tape placement.Helpful Reply

Carole on Oct 04, 2014Cut out a cardboard triangular template and then another a little larger to allow for the width of the stripe you want. Would that work? Would give you a straight edge and all edges would be same (in theory at least if you place the template right)Helpful Reply

Mickey Baron on Sep 10, 2016The ruler worked! When I did mine, I was just doing it for spit & giggles. Not worried about being precise. The chair only cost me 3.00, So I just eyeballed it & taped it off. As you can see the stripes aren't perfect. The lines don't match exact. It made it fun. Yours turned out perfect. Love your color & design.Helpful Reply
