Need techniques on painting stars on the walls.?
Question:We are building my 15 y/o daughter a room and she wants her room to have stars on the walls. Does anybody have any cool ideas or techniques to apply stars? I was thinking about using vinyl cut outs and appling a glitter acyrlic paint over them to give a neat affect. Any opinion or ideas will help. Thanks Mindy

Everyone seems to use stencils and they look great. BUT I am not a stencil person, so when my daughter did her stars, she cut out a stiff sponge in the shape and size of star she wanted. It worked great! Someone else told me they cut a star shape on the end of a potato for painting! You can purchase sponge-shaped anything at the paint store and some dept. stores, sometimes located in the hobby dept. Have fun!
Stencils!! I painted a whole outside fence with flowers and butterflies and it was over 60 ft. long. Stencils are the only way to go and you can use pretty much any paint that suits your fancy. It doesn't necessarily need to be stencil paint.
Take your time if you get tired stop and wait for the next day.

Plus you wouldn't want some messy stars up there on account of your arm got tired and you had to use your left.or your right...
Overhead projector. It sounds weird, I know. Just print out a star, or some stars (whatever pattern you want) onto a transparency (found at office depot or walmart) and project it onto your wall. I painted an entire garden scene on my wall using this method. It's basically like a huge coloring book! :) I just borrowed an overhead projector from my church. It only took a few days to finish the whole thing.
