How to paint a Chevron Stripe

 Chevron Stripe step-by-step Tutorial

If you've struggled with how to paint a chevron stripe this tutorial is for you! 

 

I tried to paint a chevron stripe when I made my friend superstar a pallet wood sign for her annual Halloween party. To say it was challenging for me would be an understatement!  For my mother's sake, I'll say I ended up calling it the freaking chevron stripe.  My coocoo mind can take about three directions then I start to wonder if I have any wine skim.  I thought all those people that said, "easy and simple" when they were talking about how to paint a chevron stripe were liars (or geniuses).

 

I still don't think the process for painting a chevron stripe is easy or simple (there are more than three steps) but I believe  I've created a simple tutorial.  This tutorial is so Easy to Understand my five year old sat beside me and drew the stripes.  See his pic below!

How to Paint a Chevron Stripe 

This white piece of paper (below) represents your object (could be a wall, piece of furniture, a wood sign, etc...) 

 

The process is the same regardless of what you paint on.

 

My lines are slightly crooked because you are seeing photos of the paper I drew on. Bare with me!


Now your object is divided in half.

 

 

Now your object is divided into four equal sections.

Now your object is divided into several small boxes

 

Now you can see the chevron!

 

  

 

Now paint your chevron stripes and erase or paint over your pencil marks

 

 

Here is the YouTube video I did with my son explaining the tutorial (I am a little nervous). 

I hope you find it to be helpful!
