Paint Background
To begin, cut scrap wood to 11″x 11″.
Then apply blush paint (Ceramcoat Normandy Rose). Once the paint is dry to the touch.
Use a ruler to make a small pencil mark at both the top and bottom edges to determine the center of the wood.
PRO TIP: Use a hairdryer on medium heat to speed up the drying time of paint.
Tape Pinstripe
Once the center of the wood has been marked, take a piece of masking tape and apply it to the center of the wood.
I was able to see the pencil mark through the tape, so I was able to see that the mark was in the center of the tape.
Then place a strip of the 1/4″ painters tape next to the masking tape.

Repeat these steps to create the pinstripe pattern over the entire piece of wood.
Once all of the tape has been applied, simply remove the 3/4″ masking tape.
As a result, you will have a perfectly aligned pinstripe pattern.
Firmly rub your fingers across each strip of the painters tape to ensure that it is adhered well.
Paint Pinstripe
Next apply another coat of blush paint on top of the painters tape.
This will ensure no bleeding under the tape!
Once the blush paint is dry to the touch apply a couple of coats of white paint to create an opaque finish.
PRO TIP: This technique will ensure a perfect crisp line everytime!
