Disney4me Posted April 28, 2020 Report Posted April 28, 2020 This weird time is proving to be a great time for DIY projects and home improvements, so why not do both? ©Sara Hisle Take a look at that SUPER COOL Spaceship Earth wall that a major Disney fan, Sara Hisle, painted in her home (ALL BY HERSELF!). Um, sign us up! If you’re looking for something a little more Disney-specific than our parks-inspired paint colors — this Epcot wall might be the project for you! Check out the how-to! To make your very own Epcot wall, you’re going to need some paint. Sara used these greys from Behr.com in Elemental Gray, Dutch White, and Graphic Charcoal plus a plain Black! You can order these guys by the gallon online. This project took about half a gallon of each of the greys and 3/4 of a gallon of black paint. ©Sara Hisle The wall that Sara painted is 7.5 x 10.5 feet for your reference, but the design is easy to expand! To start, paint your chosen wall black. ©Sara Hisle Next, get ready to get taping! You’re going to tape 18-inch horizontal lines using painters tape. Sara used 1/4 inch tape that she found on Amazon! You can grab some similar tape here. ©Sara Hisle Then, you’re going to go back in with the tape at a diagonal. Start from the bottom and put a line across every 18 inches. To get this really accurate, every other line mark 9 inches in to offset and from there you can measure the 18 inches. ©Sara Hisle Then go the other way! Use your tape to connect all the corners! ©Sara Hisle Here’s where it alllll starts to come together. Put a mark 12 inches down from the point of the upside triangles. For the upside-down triangles, put the mark 12 inches up from the point. Then, use tape to connect the corners to your center mark. ©Sara Hisle Then paint the WHOLE wall black again to seal all the tape! Remember to let the paint coats dry between each step. ©Sara Hisle Moving on, grab your white paint and follow the pictured pattern. It doesn’t have to be perfect! You’ll be covering up those edges. ©Sara Hisle Here’s where it gets tricky. Now you’re going to paint in the dark grey triangles. Be careful! Try to stay in the tape lines as best you can. ©Sara Hisle The lighter grey is next. You can use a baby wipe if you make a mistake — that tape is tiny! Look! It’s really starting to come together. ©Sara Hisle Now for the best part. Once all is dry, remove the tape! Do so CAREFULLY! Chances are you’ll have a few touch-ups to do, but hopefully not too many. ©Sara Hisle And there you have it! You have your very own Epcot wall! Thanks again to Sara Hisle for the use of her pictures and the GREAT instructions! We can’t wait to pick a wall and get painting! Looking for more Disney-inspired ways to paint your walls?
