What you need
- Sponges (regular dish ones are fine)
- 3 different yellow tone paints
- 1 green paint
- Paint brush
- Scissors
- Drop cloth
How long it will take // 1 hour for about 5 square feet of wall - it's quick once you get it down
Steps //
- Cut out the general shape of a lemon from the sponges - I found it easiest to trace it first. One for each shade of yellow you have
- Cut out two thin ovals for the leaves
- Starting with the lightest shade, use the paintbrush to coat the front of the sponge - you don't want the sponge to be dripping or over-saturated
- Carefully stamp, starting at one of the corners of the wall. I found that I could get a couple of stamps out of each paint dip.
- I was pretty sparing with my stamps the first round, just to be careful, and ended up going in with a few more once the whole wall was done
- Once I had finished the walls, I cut the sponge in half on an angle and used it to place a few lemons on the edges of walls and under cabinets.
- After letting the first color dry a bit, repeat with the two darker colors. I overlapped some, left others on their own - it's up to you
- Once the yellow is fully dry, repeat the process with the leaves
