Paint word on wall - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

The web is covered in tutorials.
I have a personal aversion to the “7 Easy Steps to being a Better Wife” type tutorials.
But …. a tutorial on painting? I can do that!

Through the years, I have seen walls that were painted with accent stripes or designs.
I would rip out the magazine page and stuff it into my “walls” manila file folder
and file it in my file cabinet.
Today, my ideas/inspiration pages are pinned Pinterest … like THIS example.
But, I still have inspiration boards around my home.
THIS magazine page that hangs on one of those boards!

See that number three? It almost fades into the wall.
That Banana Republic ad gave me the idea to use words on my wall
rather than a design or stripes.
And I would make it appear to fade or hide depending on where you are standing in my room.

This is my living area upon first entering my home. The words on the wall are invisible.

As you walk into the room and closer to the wall
the sunshine from the bay window to the left
bounces off the words and they begin to appear … like magic!They are also invisible from other angles of the room, as well.
When seated at my dining table, you can only see a hint of them.
You have to draw closer for them to truly be revealed.Depending on where you are standing in the room depends on which words reflect the light.From certain positions, you can see more words.

Depending on where you are standing, different words are more fully revealed.
Here is “PREPARE” fully reflected … among other words that are just hinting of their presence.“STAND” …. and “PREPARE” again. And “rest” … is a really good word, isn’t it?
That is at eye level for small kiddos (none of those in MY family). Here is “foster” …
and “ponder”and “disengage” (my Word of the Year for 2011).

Would you like to try doing this to a wall in your home? I know you can do it!

Gather your supplies first. You’ll need
Gloss paint in the exact same color as your wall paint
A list of words, printed in different font styles
2-3 different paint brushes
Paper towels to dab water off your brush
A cup of water to clean your brush
Low-tack/painter’s tape
A level
a 2-3″ spacing guide (I used a ruler)
A step stool
Some sort of spot light

Let me mention first three things I learned that you want to know up front.
1) Words that are higher than eye-level or below eye level will not show up. I put some words near the ceiling and some near the chair rail. Unless someone is on a ladder or seated, those words will never be seen by the average adult. So, my suggestion is to place your words within a 2-3′ expanse that is right at eye level for an average adult. If you have young children, they will see the words at the chair rail … so you may want to use words there for them? Like “obey” HAhaha Very few people will see anything above around 6′ high on your wall.
2) If you can, paint your words freehand using your printed words as your guide. If you write in pencil … even lightly …. the marks will show through your paint, especially if you’re painting in a light color like white/cream/tan or any pastel color.
3) This will not work in a room without good light. For example, it wouldn’t work in a windowless hallway. You need natural light entering through a window that is at or below eye-level to allow your paint to reflect so that your images/words will show up well.

You’ll want to start with a list of words. I began jotting mine down a few weeks before I began so I had a large list of words. I used a thesaurus to help me. I chose verbs … you might choose adjectives. Or you could choose a phrase or a poem?

When I had my words gathered, I put them into a word processing program in my computer and then chose a different font for each word … one that felt like it represented the word well within the typography. I printed out those words and then cut them out so I could tape the word on the wall for reference as I painted.

We’ll assume that your wall is freshly painted and clean.

I’m a Lowe’s girl so I used Valspar Eggshell paint (more scrubbable and not quite as flat as “Flat paint”) on my walls and Semi-gloss for my words (it is also the trim paint in my living area).

Using pieces of tape that are around 8-12″, begin placing the tape on your wall.
Using a level, make sure each piece of tape is straight so you will be able to paint your words straight on the wall. If you place all the pieces of tape upon the wall at one time, you can best see spacing. I painted some words and then came back weeks later to add more … so you see some words already in place with tape interspersed. I sized my paint strips so that they were longer for longer words (like “contemplate”) and shorter for smaller words ( like “love”). I added a second piece of tape above the lower one so I had a guide for the height of each letter. I used a ruler that was 2″ wide to help me make sure that my top guide/tape was an equal distance from the lower one. If you don’t have a ruler that is wide enough, a straight piece of paper would work just as well. Since I already had the lower guide strip level, this helped me make sure that each letter was painted a consistent in size from end to end. And I make some words larger than others.
And for letters with a ascenders (like “h” and “l” that extend above the mainline of the word) or descenders (like “g” and “f” that extend below the baseline), simply paint the bulk of the word then peel away the tape and finish your letter. I set up a spotlight to help illuminate the paint while I worked. Since the paint is the same color as the wall, you really can’t see it without light for it to reflect. I used just a few brushes. A thin round one is better for skinny letters (like the top two). A wider, flat one is better for wider letters (like the third one down). An angled one (like on the bottom) that is flat and has sharp edges (rather than rounded) can be helpful with words in a calligraphy style font.So, choose your words and print them out,
give yourself tape guides for placement,
paint your words
and remove your tape.

That’s it!

If you have any questions, I’d love to try to fill in any gaps of instruction that I don’t realize I left open. If you try the project, take a photo and post your link? I’d love to see how you make this work in your home!

You can do it! Really, you can!

Painting a quote on your wall is a great way to personalize your space! Pick a quote you like, such as an inspiring phrase or catchy saying. Print out your quote at home, and transfer it to your wall using graphite, chalk, or pastel. Then, grab some paint and a brush, and fill in your outline. Touch up your lines after it dries, if you’d like. You can easily add a hand-painted quote to walls in your bedroom, living room, or bathroom!

1
Select a quote or phrase you enjoy and want to paint onto your wall. Pick a quote you like, and consider what wall you want to paint it on. Then, choose a wall without many other decorations in an easy-to-see spot, such as across from your door. You should place your quote about 2/3 of the way up your wall.
- You can paint short phrases or longer expressions, depending on how much wall space you have. Paint things like, «Follow your dreams,» «Always kiss me goodnight,» or «Be grateful.»
- Paint the name of your son or daughter over their bed, for example.
2
Find a font for your quote online. Once you select your quote, go online and search for fonts appropriate for your quote. There are countless font generating websites online. When you find a font you like, type in your quote, and press the “Print” button to download your font.^[1]
- For example, look up “Dr. Seuss font generators” if you are using a Dr. Seuss quote.
- Use kids script if you are painting your son’s name above his bed.

3
Print out your quote on paper so you can trace it onto your walls. When you download your font, select a photo file option like JPEG. Then, copy your image into Paint or Microsoft Word. Make a new document, and select «Insert» from the options at the top. Click on «Image» or «Picture,» and go to your Downloads folder to select your image. Adjust the sizing to your liking with the image resize tools. Press “Print” when you are finished.^[2]
- Depending on the desired size of your quote, you can print out your quote on 1 page or print each letter on their own pages.
- Print on letter or legal sized paper.
- If you don’t have a printer, you can purchase a plastic stencil with a quote or go to a copy center, such as the UPS store or your local library.

1
Shade the back of your print-out. You can use either a graphite pencil, piece of chalk, or pastel stick. Flip your paper over so the front is on a table. Take your medium of choice, and shade over the back of your paper. Be sure to thoroughly cover your letters.^[3]
- After it’s covered, you can dump away any excess pigment in your trash can or onto another piece of paper.
- Graphite pencils tend to work best. If you don’t have a graphite pencil handy, you can also use a piece of chalk. Alternatively, pastel sticks also work to make your transfer. All 3 have about the same chance of leaving residue behind.
2
Hang your paper to your wall with 2-4 pieces of painter’s tape. Be sure you place your paper exactly where you want to paint your quote. Place 1 piece of tape on the top left corner, and 1 on the top right. If you’d like, you can stick additional pieces of tape on the bottom 2 corners.^[4]
- You can easily rip painter’s tape with your fingers. Use scissors if you need assistance!
3
Draw over your letters using a ballpoint pen. Start with your letters on the left side, and trace over all of the edges. As you trace, the pigment on the back of the paper will rub onto your wall, creating your outline. Press down on your pen with moderate pressure as you write.^[5]
- Make sure you trace over the inner and outer edges!
4

Remove the paper and reveal your outlines. Peel off your tape, and take down your paper from the wall. Your letters will be transferred to the wall, so you can easily fill them in with your paint.^[6]
5
Purchase a stencil with a quote from a craft store for an easier solution. Visit a local craft store in person or online and browse stencil inventories. Many offer various quotes and phrases. Purchase 1 you like, and tape it to your wall. Then, use a pencil and trace the letters of the stencil onto your wall.^[7]
- You can also order a custom stencil with any quote you’d like online.^[8]
- Plastic stencils are a helpful way to paint quotes if you don’t own a printer yourself.

1
Grab your paintbrush and acrylic paint and fill in your lines from the left. Squeeze out some of your paint in a bowl or onto a small plate, and add more as you need it. Dip the tip of your brush into your paint, and paint over your quote.^[9]
- If you are painting a small quote or few words, squeeze out a few small globs of paint
- For painting a sentence or more, squeeze out ¼ of the bottle.
- You can use paint in any color you’d like! Dark colors look best on light walls, and vice versa. Go with your favorite color, or use dark brown or black for a bold quotation.
2
Paint over all of your lines and add a second coat if you’d like. Apply an even, smooth layer of paint over all of your letters. After you finish 1 layer of paint, you can go over the letters with another layer if the paint appears transparent.^[10]
- Most of your letters should be pretty dry after you finish your first coat. If they are still wet, wait 30 minutes or so for your paint to dry in between coats.
3
Let your paint dry for 1-3 hours and wash your materials. When you finish painting over all of your quote, wash your materials with soap and water. You can squeeze a dime-sized amount of soap into your palm, and rub the bristles of your paintbrush into the soap. Then, run it under warm water. Give your walls a few hours to dry to avoid smudging or smearing your painted quotes.^[11]
- To test how dry your paint is, very lightly touch the center of a bold line with the tip of your finger.
4
Wash off any remaining markings from your wall after your paint is dry. If you have smudges or marks on your walls, you can easily wash them off when your paint dries. Wet a washcloth with water from your sink, and squeeze out the excess. It should be damp, but not soaking wet. Then, lightly rub it over the marks on your walls.^[12]
- Avoid rubbing your washcloth over your paint to avoid smudging or messing up your lettering.
5
Touch up your lines once the paint is dry and your walls are clean. Grab your brush, dip it in your paint, and smooth over any uneven lines or smeared spots. Make precise, smooth lines over the edges, and look for any places where the paint may still be transparent.^[13]
- If your painted quote already looks fabulous, skip over the touch-ups! You only need to do this if your quote could use some finishing touches.

If you’re panting outdoors, I would recommend using 1-Shot. It’s an oil-based, exterior-rated painting that’s great for lettering.

You could use a grid system. Print out your quote with a grid over it, then make a larger grid on the wall using the same proportions. Start in the top left square on the wall and draw just what’s in that square on the paper, and then go square by square until you’ve drawn the whole quote on the wall.

It is helpful to lay down a drop cloth before you start painting. That way, if you spill any paint it will not ruin your floors.

Although these empowering words were painted on a wall in a baby’s room, it could just as easily be painted in an older child, or teen bedroom. Words can motivate, inspire and empower us at any age.

By viewing words regularly, we can absorb their meaning both consciously and subconsciously. This Mama wanted her daughter to absorb good things. Lucky baby!

How do you incorporate empowering words into a wall mural?

Here is one way to paint words onto a wall.

My client wanted the words “I AM” to be painted very large and onto the center of one wall. She also wanted 50 more words painted. One of them, was her daughter’s name, Grace.

The idea is that she wants her daughter to grow up reading all of these meaningful words and to know that she is all of these things. By reading and saying, “I am grace. I am beauty. I am happy….” these attributes would become instilled into her being.

The baby room bedding was the inspiration for this mural. It was full of pretty colored words. So we painted the wall words in colors that matched this bedding.

Here is a picture of the bedding.

And here are the paint colors I hand-mixed, to match the bedding.

This image also shows my layout for the words.

Now that we had our master plan, I sketched all the carefully chosen words onto the wall, in 4 different fonts. Then I hand-painted the words onto the wall.

This video shows empowering words hand-painted onto a wall.

The blue tape on the wall in the video was to mark off where wall sconces will be hung. We wanted to make sure there would be enough space to hang the custom light fixtures without covering any words.

I really like to think out each space with my clients, before beginning, so we have the best layout possible.

Do you like the the idea of painting words on the wall? I love it. And as I painted each word, it felt like I was wishing blessings for this sweet little girl.

Positive words can uplift our spirits. They can also infuse us with confidence. Apparently they can decorate, too!

After painting Grace’s mural I felt inspired to create some word-art of my own.

See some custom framed word art that I made for friends.

I love writing meaningful things. So I also created some empowering quotes about things that I wanted to remember everyday.
A recent client even asked if I’d paint a few of my original quotes, on the walls of her office. A win-win!

If you live in the Los Angeles area, I could paint words on a wall of your home or business.
