In Gerri’s words: “Capizo“ shells is what this luxe wall design reminds me of. 😲 it’s Stunning!
Capiz shells are shells that are found in a province in the Philippines called Capiz. A capiz shell, which is found on the coastal waters, is the outer shell of a marine mollusk.
This is a picture of the shell she named this finish after.
Crinkle up the tissue paper in a ball. You can get this at the Dollar Tree or any department store. It’s the same paper you wrap your Christmas gifts with.
Apply wallpaper paste to the wall with a roller. Make sure it has full coverage.
Unwrap the tissue paper and lay it on the wall. Them use a large brush to apply the tissue paper to the wall. Brush it in different directions.

This is beautiful. How much tissue paper did you use? And what paint did you use for the metallic sheen?

hi Kathy. Sorry i'm just getting back with you. I was in Cancun on vacation. I can't remember how much tissue paper I used but my guess is about 4-5 pages. You can use the tissue paper from the Dollar tree. I used the modern masters metallic paint. But you can use anything you want. Here's a link to my blog https://www.subscribepage.com/diy-projects there is a blog that shows you how to do it.
Have a blessed day
