Within your home, the personal touches you add can bring a welcoming feel to any room. In many households, stone tiles accent the kitchen or bathroom. A popular trend is painting your own murals on the stones. Painting these murals yourself may be more cost efficient than purchasing ready-made stones. Whether you cover a few tiles with separate designs or create an entire showpiece emulating a window or other large scene, murals painted on stone are a beautiful addition to your home.
Instructions
1. Lay out newspaper on a flat surface and place ceramic, granite, marble or any natural stone(s) on top.
2. Put Styrofoam plates onto a flat table surface and squeeze desired acrylic paints onto the plates.
3. Place the stencil on the stone, or plan your freehand design.
4. Apply paint onto the surface of the stone. Continue until you have completed the mural you want.
5. Wait a full 24 hours and then apply the acrylic glaze over the painted surfaces. Wait another 24 hours before using the stones. The glaze prevents surface damage such as scratches and makes your designs waterproof.
