The gingham pattern is created by painting vertical stripes in Water Bead, followed by horizontal stripes in Blue Cashmere, and finishing with squares in Ocean Plunge. Using white as a base color enhances the pattern's visibility. Jaharn emphasizes the importance of high-quality painters tape, applied carefully to avoid paint bleeding. She advises practicing the pattern on smaller surfaces before committing to larger pieces. The cost of the entire project, including the shelf, was about $50, demonstrating affordability while achieving significant style impact.
To create a gingham pattern, Jaharn first painted vertical stripes in the lightest blue (Water Bead) onto her shelf, then added horizontal stripes in a mid-toned blue (Blue Cashmere), and completed the gingham pattern with the darkest squares in Ocean Plunge.
Use the best painters tape possible. Take the time applying the painters tape at every stage, and make sure you push it down firmly to prevent paint from bleeding underneath.
Jaharn recommends using white as your base paint color to make the pattern pop.
Her project cost about $50 - including the shelf - and certainly has big style.
