Get your bedroom in the fast lane with a painted tire track wall border.

Step 1: Download the stencil. Cut out the tire marks and trace onto two pieces of green sign material. Cut out stencils. 

Step 2: Decide where on the wall you want the border to be. Tape the stencil to the wall at the correct height. 

Step 3: Using a sponge brush, fill in the stencil with black paint. Don’t worry about perfect even coverage; some uneven spots help this stenciled border look like the real thing. 

Step 4: Remove the stencil. Tape your next stencil so that the pattern is even, level, and continues unbroken. This is easiest to do if you use a level with the stencil. 

Step 5: Continue around the room.

That blue wall clashes horribly with the bedding. Otherwise, cute idea. Like the tool cabinet for a night stand too.
