How do you make a zebra print wall?

Question

iam painting my wall in my room && i want to make it zebra. what is a cheap && simple way to make this possible. i dont want to hire a painter.

Answer 1

Use painter's tape to tape off the stripes. Buy a can of black paint and paint inside of it. Peel tape when dry.

Answer 2

Smart move.  I recently wrote a short piece on the subject of zebras.

I would find a pattern you like (on a pillow or even a photo of a zebra), create a template for each type of stripe and then transfer to the wall.  Please note the way in which actual zebra stripes run when you begin applying the pattern. You might want to consider a blackish brown and note the variation in color on a normal zebra hide.  Good luck.  Send me a photo when you're done, and I'll showcase it on Strange Closets.
