How To Paint Scallops On A Wall

Karla from  Its the little things that make a house a home   posted a tutorial on how to paint scallops on a wall.

It's such a great idea for a simple wall treatment. I used this very same method (with a plate) to make scallops for a window treatment. Another way of doing this is to make a template out of cardboard with a plate. Karla describes the process:

You will need:

a level (a long one),

a pencil (or something to mark on your walls),

a saucer (or a round object that fits the size that you want your scallops to be),

and painters tape

  7. Those are great! Love the colors especially. That process looks like it might be easier than the stencil version I did. You can see my gray & white scalloped wall here:
