An illustrated guide to hand tracing and painting a perfect wall mural you did yourself
46By wishuponamural
Instructions:
- First tape your mural design to the wall that you purchased from www.wishuponamural.com and hold or tape the included transfer medium underneath.
- Start tracing on top of the mural with a pencil, and move the transfer medium underneath from section to section as go.
- Once you have the entire design traced to the wall, lift up the mural and make sure you traced all the lines, then when your sure your done remove the medium and mural design and your ready to paint.
- There are many types of paints to us. Most of my customers use acrylic paints. Other paints can be used as well such as water colors, paint pens, paint markers, chalks, sparkle paints, as well as others on the market. Personaly my favorite to work with is water colors because they go on light and can be the colors can be layered, but I recomend using a flat spray on sealant afterwards to keep wet fingerprint smudges at bay. (experienced this with kids who love licking their fingers and smudging the design)!
- Please visit my website where I have painted wall murals sent in by customers of ours, there is a lot of beautiful ones tht will spark your imagination! There will soon be over 1,000 deisgns and growing.

I absolutely LOVE these wall murals! These are the easiest traceable designs that go up fast and the results are amazing. I did a whole wall this weekend and am doing a second bedroom. Can't wait to get more. Thanks.
