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.

two. 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.
