DIY Wallpaper Look For Less

Hello there! A couple weeks ago I decided to add a herringbone accent wall to our guest room. Before I took on this project I had been eyeing a modern white & black herringbone wallpaper. Although, I knew wallpaper wasn’t in the budget so I had to DIY the wallpaper look for less Using only paint & cardboard!. I love a good DIY budget friendly project so I grabbed my supplies & went for it.

So, this is how I did this project & it took less than an hour!

My pattern!

Supplies

  • Paint
  • 1″ Paint Brush
  • Cardboard

Super simple!

Steps

Tip: I used a dish sponge to reference my desired length for each line.

  1. Cut a few squares of cardboard. I used a thin smooth piece of cardboard. (Cereal or cracker box is perfect.)
  2. Pick your paint color for the pattern & decide if you need to paint the whole wall first.
  3. With the paintbrush & paint do a few practice runs of the pattern on the cardboard. (Make sure when making your stamp to try variations in spacing down the middle of the sets & between each line to get your desired look.)
  4. Once you have your desired look on your cardboard; cut evenly around your pattern.
  5. Start your stamp at the bottom or top corner of the wall & continue stamping vertically with even spacing, be sure to reapply paint when stamp begins to fade. (Be careful not to apply a thick amount of paint to your stamp or it will spread & misshapen when you press it on the wall.)
  6. When you are done you can keep the fading stamped look or go back over the lines to create a bolder look.
  • Reapply paint.
  • Press stamp with your fist.

I personally am SO glad I used this stamp technique because it kept the pattern consistent & the lines straight. I know for a fact without the guide of the stamp I would have started veering off if I did this free handed. hahaha!
