I did have a fan on the whole time but the first one was dry before I finished the 2nd one. (to the touch anyway) Doing it outside is a good idea but just try to have a really flat surface to roll on. (Driveway maybe?) Even the tiny grout lines in the tile I painted on gave me a little trouble. I had to roll over them a couple times to make sure the paint soaked in. Hope it goes well and I understand having to keep toddlers away from drying paint! lolWhile They Snoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020409984066455310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876175041541762024.post-45388767493087120512014-02-25T13:16:36.214-05:002014-02-25T13:16:36.214-05:00I loveeee this idea!

How much paint did you need for the two panels? I don't want to over buy!<br /><br /> Also how much time did it take to dry? I'm thinking about doing it outside so my toddler doesn't walk all over them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016120762177819970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876175041541762024.post-35539408176107185922014-02-25T13:09:49.757-05:002014-02-25T13:09:49.757-05:00I'm obsessed with this idea!

We are getting a new couch black and red couch, and we don't have any accessories yet, so I'm going to do red chevron curtains, about how much paint did you need for this project?

Have you heard of it? It's pretty much chevron tape already on a roll. Just stick it on... no measuring! :) It wasn't out yet when I made these curtains but I'm really hoping to give it a try.While They Snoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020409984066455310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876175041541762024.post-34583400116338795962013-12-11T08:45:37.527-05:002013-12-11T08:45:37.527-05:00I think it would actually be easier on burlap!

I'm currently "creating" a big boy room/nursery for my 4 yr old and my 7 mo old; and the pattern that I've chosen (fallen in love with) is this chevron pattern. It's fun and so very kid-appropriate.
