Sun Accent Wall
I had a blank slate in my son's nursery and decided to spice it up a bit! I grabbed some paint, a brush, pencil and some string and made a super cute sun!
Before - started off with a blank slate
Materials Needed -
Paint
Paint brush
Something to open paint can
Pencil
Tape measure
String
Step One - Measure length of wall
To get an idea of how big I wanted my sun to be, I measured the length of my wall
Step Two - Map out sun
I started off thinking I was going to make the length of my sun 6ft, I later made it bigger.
mapping out how big to make sun
Step Three - Draw Arch
I used my pencil and string to make my arch. I tied the string on the pencil and held the end of the string without the pencil to the center of the marked out length. I then took the pencil to the end of one side of my marked out length and drew the arch. After drawing out the arch to 6ft, I stepped back and decided it needed to be bigger. I made the length of my arch roughly 8ft with my wall length being just about 11ft.
Step Four - Paint!
I used the color Quirky Gold by Sherwin Williams
This is after the first coat, loving it so far!
Step Five - Add rays
I then free handed the 'rays' of the sun while waiting for the first coat to dry. I used my hand as a general reference of how far to space them out.
I did a second coat and that's it! Super simple pop of color to a nursery or play room!
