DIY Workshop: How To Paint A Shed Mural

While we chose a fairly simple design for our mural, the possibilities are endless. Your shed mural can be a great place for you to get creative and introduce a bright and bold addition to your backyard. Add an accent wall, a bright pattern, and more to express your backyard style. No matter what design you choose to create, we’ve got a few tips for creating a great mural.

DIY Painting Tips

1. To start, we painted over the back wall with white primer. Depending on the color of your shed, you may not wish to add primer, but be sure that your walls are clean and ready for paint.

2. If you plan to use painters tape for your design, paint over the tape with the base paint color of your mural for a cleaner line once the tape is removed.

3. Be sure to paint over the tape with your top colors for a clean line.

4. Wait for the paint to fully dry before removing the tape to ensure straight, clean lines.
