When you are decorating the rooms in your home, you may not want to paint the walls using the standard flat, basic paint colors. One solution is to apply a few paper decorations on top of standard wall paint to create a wall decoupage. You need to use only a few basic craft materials to add paper decorations to wall paint.
1 Cut out 12-inch shapes from decorative papers using scissors or pinking shears. Cut out as many shapes as you prefer. Scissors will cut the edges of the shapes with a straight edge, while pinking shears will cut the edges of the shapes with a scalloped edge.
2 Paint your walls using colored latex wall paint with a roller paintbrush.
3 Press the cut-out shapes onto the wall with the patterned side facing out. Slide your hand over the shapes to remove any air bubbles. Allow the walls to dry for 12 hours.
4 Paint on a layer of clear latex wall paint using a clean roller paintbrush. Cover the walls and cut-out paper decorations completely. Allow the walls to dry for another 12 hours.
