Mine Craft Wall Art

Hi ok here's my step by step guide on how to do a Mine craft Creeper face onto a wall. You will need. A spirit level, pencil, ruler, masking tape, and paint brushes approx 1" wide ones. And we used ready mixed paints that you buy from places like The Range or any craft shops, but you can also use any leftover paints around the house. I found it handy that I saved those tin foils that come off Yorkshire puddings and pies for dinner! I tipped the paint in them and it made it so much easier. I then searched online for the image I wanted of the creeper face and used that as a guide. So we were all ready to go. First of all my hubby used a spirit level to draw a square on the wall. Ours was approximately 4ft wide and 4 1/2 feet tall, of course you can go as big or as small as you like. . We made a grid of 8 sections and made the squares 6"x6" square. I started off by choosing one colour first and then deciding where I wanted that to go. I then used masking tape and taped around those squares. I did one coat first and let it dry completely then did a second coat but soon as I painted it and before it dried I carefully pulled the masking tape off. Then I repeated this again using a different colour and so forth until it was finished! You can always touch in afterwards.
