These decorative pattern rollers are so much fun to work with - you can roll through just about any material and shown in the video.

Simplicity Roller

Here is the finished sample from the Video - I used a tinted Metallic Plaster and troweled a sheer layer over the pattern that was created with the Simplicity roller.

Crocodile and Artsy Leaf rollers

They can be used on many different surfaces as seen in the photo above - creating furniture and cabinetry finishes - Crocodile Pattern roller and Artsy Leaf roller were used.

    What was the process to use the artsy leaf roller and have it turn out like the tan/ cream leafy picture on your website? It states that you used multiple textures. Thank you!

  • Marjorie Marjorie on Mar 19, 2019

    What the product you used to achieve the pattern? Besides the roller?

  • Marjorie Marjorie on Mar 19, 2019

    I'm trying to do this project but am having difficulty determining what material you are used to create the design you are rolling out. You mention you go over the pattern with a metallic tinted plaster...what creates the plaster effect on the wall? Is there a product you recommend?

    Just one. Shipping cost seems way out of line for the size and weight of the roller.

    With certain designs on the rollers, do you ever have to line up your design with the previous row so they match up?
    • Jennifer Weber Ferguson Jennifer Weber Ferguson on Jan 31, 2017
      Sharon - sorry for my delay, just saw your message. Some of the designs have to be lined up to match, but most do not......I don't even try! :)
