Go Faux: Sleeping Under the Clouds

Jul 14 2003  

Kids love make believe and there may be no better way to facilitate that creativity than by creating a faux sky with clouds. Here are brief instructions from Behr's Disney Paint Project cards, available at The Home Depot.

Sleeping Under the Clouds

Behr's Classic Pooh Collection painting project card offers step-by-step instructions for creating delightful fluffy clouds.

You'll need faux glaze, white paint, a sea sponge and clean rags to make the clouds:
  • Mix together four parts faux glaze (one gallon) with one part pure white paint (one quart) to create the glaze color.

  • Use a brush to coat a water-dampened sea sponge with the glaze color. Blot excess onto a clean cloth rag.

  • Apply the glaze color onto the surface gently, creating random patterns that are light and airy and shaped like puffy clouds.

  • To keep a subtle and natural looking cloud-shaped pattern, do not squeeze the sponge or push down too hard onto the surface.
