Step 8: Remove Tape

Measure the blocks and use

a straight edge and a pencil

to lightly sketch out the entire

block pattern.

For set one, you’ll paint and

glaze every other block. Tape

around each square that you’ll

be painting, making sure to

overlap the pencil mark by

about 1/8 inch.

Use a brush to apply paint /

glaze mix to a block. Dab your

sponge in another colored

glaze, then lightly dab sponge

around the block to create a

mottled, textured look. Do this

for each block masked for set

one. Let it dry for 24 hours.

For set two, mask the glazed

blocks 1/8 inch on the inside

edges of the ﬁnal blocks. Hint:

grout lines are created by the

overlap of the blocks.

Remove tape at a 45° angle. If

adhesive begins to transfer, use

a 90° angle. If paint starts to lift,

use a sharp tool to cut along the

painted tape edge.
