I’ve been sitting on some fabrics from.
It looks like it should be pretty quick and easy to paint these thin little strips of nothing, but let me tell you: It can get some kinda tedious!.If you’ve seen my pretty beadboard and you’ve been thinking about attempting this project too, I have some tips for you!.
Tip #1: Set aside a couple of days to get it done.Make them “painting days”.Wear your painting clothes the whole time and just plan to be a general mess.
At first, each pack of 6 beadboard strips was taking me about 45 mins total to get done, but it was spread out over a couple of hours including drying time.I was thinking originally that I could just set aside 5 minutes per coat and kind of do it without making a mess hopefully in between all of my regular activities.
Well, then it took much longer than 5 minutes per coat (more like 20-25) and sometimes I was wearing clothes that I didn’t want to risk getting painty, because the whole process was a lot drippier than I expected, so it just wasn’t convenient to get done in my day-to-day life.
Then I took a weekend and made it my “painting weekend” and things got done.Still totally functional!.
