Decorative Art Rollers, give you the ability to create a textured pattern and design on just about any surface you want. -You can Roll through Texture or Roll On Texture- Decorative Art Rollers are a great tool for adding extra detail to any project you are working on! From walls and ceilings to furniture and cabinets, texture rollers work well on all surfaces. The most common technique for using texture rollers is a “negative” imprinting technique. This means the roller will leave an impression on the surface of your project after it is rolled through wet material. These patterned rollers work best when rolled through products like Texture Medium, plasters, and glazes. They can also be rolled through paints that are not quick drying. Chalk-based paints tend to work well with the rollers. The roller is made of high-quality, durable rubber, measure 7” long and comes with their own handle. Rolling Through Texture- Step 1 - Prep your surface with a base color-Because the roller will be removing some of the texture medium, your base color matters. Step 2 - Trowel on your texture medium or alternating paint color. You will want to trowel on about 1/8th to 1/16th of an inch thick. If you trowel on too thick of a coat, the product will clump up on the roller. Step 3 - Make sure your roller is spinning well. Step 4 - Now you can roll through the texture. You can roll bottom to top, or top to bottom; whichever you prefer. If the roller slides or you don't line it up how you want, you can smooth out the texture again with your trowel and re-roll through. Roll On Texture- Step 1 - Again, you will want to prep your surface with a base color! The roller will be removing some of the paint you are rolling through, and you will be able to see the base color. Step 2 - Paint on a layer of the paint you choose. Make sure this coat isn't too thick, but thick enough that the roller imprints properly. Step 3 - Make sure your roller is spinning well before you roll through your paint. Step 4 - Now you can roll through the paint. You can roll bottom to top, or top to bottom; whichever you prefer. If the roller slides or you don't line it up how you want, you can smooth out the paint again and re-roll through.
