Make Yard Sale Finds Fabulous With Decorative Painting Patterns

By Jose Turner


Often people look at craft renovation shows in awe at the designs experts are able to make with just a few brush strokes. While some things take years of practice, just about anyone can give new life to a decorative or functional item to be used in the house. All it takes is a few coats of paint, the right clothing, and protection of valuables along with a few decorative painting patterns in the desired shape or size.

When using these for the first time, it helps to secure these with removable tape, especially if a surface is smooth or the user is not accustomed to handling a brush. Long, broad strokes are great for uniformity but if a certain texture is desired short, abstract strokes can create a nice visual. There are also tutorials on how to create various textures using a sea sponge or toothbrush.

What most people like when creating something new is the colors. When making functional items or just a simple image to frame, using a combination of favorite colors is probably the highlight of the project. Although it can take a moment to get the perfect blend, using a pattern can make this process a lot easier.

Although there are no boundaries when creating a new look for personal space, it is best to take as much time as needed. Some people get discouraged when their items do not come out perfect the first time. Sometimes these mistakes can be hard for others to detect but anyone who wants the professional look will find their way with practice.

Those who want to experiment with various patterns or templates can do so when color combinations are used for a project. Borders, diagonal lines, or circular shapes are complemented by most subjects but it is a good idea to do a test for starting a major project. Having measuring tape or a ruler is the best way to ensure that enough space is allocated for the best effect.

A fast way to use patterns or templates in decorating is to use textured finish paint. These combine a number of colors and designs that can simply be sprayed on most surfaces. Depending on what is being covered, it helps to read the directions carefully before buying. Some surfaces may require a primer or other preparation for better adhesion.

There are also more complex surfaces in terms of preparation. Often metal requires a primer to stay on surfaces permanently. When working with a wood project, it helps to get educated about different type, as some may benefit from staining instead of color. In some cases, a pattern may be compatible with the different shades of stain but there are books that can act also as a guide.

If a person finds something that they like but wants to change the look, getting ideas from craft or home decor magazines helps a great deal. There are even books that show how to navigate and flip items found at a yard sale or outdoor market. People who learn to master these techniques and receive compliments may find themselves able to make a nice side income.
