Hi Cheryl, I've also seen walls decorated with cheesecloth for texture prior to painting.

I love this idea! This may help and remember to post pics if you do it! https://www.house-painting-info.com/articles/crinkle-paper-painting/#.YDrYHi1h1O0

Applying a fresh base coat isn't necessary. For this project, we used latex paint in an eggshell finish (Sweet Daphne #529 from Benjamin Moore), and an antiquing glaze (Tea Stain from Ralph Lauren).

Use an old paintbrush or China bristle brush to dust baseboards, trim and crown molding before taping them off (use painter's tape with paper attached to protect the baseboards). Overlap seams by at least an inch to avoid seepage between pieces, and then seal the tape to the surface with your fingers or a rag.

Paint and Apply the Tissue Paper

Starting in the upper left portion of a wall, paint an area slightly bigger than the size of the tissue paper you're using (use a paintbrush to apply paint to corners and near baseboards and molding). Crinkle a piece of tissue paper to create texture; open it up, and adhere it to the wet paint surface, smoothing it as desired. Don't worry about ripping the paper, just smooth the surface with your fingers and continue.

Load the roller again and paint over the tissue paper. If you don't like the way the paper lays against the wall, smooth it out with your fingers before painting over it again. Tear off excess paper around the wall edges, corners and baseboards.

Continue in a horizontal line across one wall, overlapping the tissue paper each time so there aren't any flat areas. Cover the rest of the wall in the same fashion, making sure to apply the tissue paper in neat rows.

If desired, take this technique one step further by colorwashing antiquing glaze over the dried surface for an Old World feel.

I've seen people use paper bags or newspaper clippings on the wall with mod podge over it.

You can use the same paint that you plan to use to finish it. Crumple the tissue paper, paint the spot on the wall for it and gently place the tissue paper on the wall. Smooth it as much (or little) as you want. Continue the process with more tissue paper.

Hi Brenda,

Tear it up into workable pieces, then screw it up and them paste it and stick it to the walls. You can if you wish dab it with a cloth or a dry paint brush or anything you wish to give it a unique look before it dries. Then, when it does you can paint it or stain it if you wish.

You could brush the walls with the paint and set the paper in it. Then gently paint over it again when the first coating has dried.
