Get the look of hand-painted tiles by cutting out images from wallpaper and applying them to tile. Use the same technique to apply wallpaper images to a roller shade. Wallpapered Tile Materials: Tiles
Prepasted wallpaper
Utility knife
Spray-mist water bottle
Sponge
Clear varnish (matte or glossy)
Paintbrush
- Pick a wallpaper pattern that looks hand-painted but isn't too intricate (figure A).
- Carefully cut out the design with a utility knife (figure B). Use a sharp blade, and cut the pattern with precision, as imperfect edges will show up clearly on the tile.
- Mist the back of the cutout with water (figure C).
- Position the cutout on the tile, and press into place (figure D).
- Smooth with a damp sponge.
- After the wallpaper dries, seal the tile with a clear coat of varnish (figure E).
