I want to do that, how did you do that?
flickmyswitch143
I made a stencil with a shelf shaped like a hexagon from Marshalls by tracing it on foam board. I leveled it then taped around it.
xuriV
Ohh, thanks. it might be possible to trace all the horizontal lines at once, then diagonals. then just mass cut the right lengths of tape..

I'm literally just redoing my bedroom and was trying to think of things I could do and this is perfect since it's gonna be my tech area

Hexagons! I love me some hexagons~<3
BrotherOwl
...why not patch out the hole? Planning on keeping the old equipment? Can't imagine it still works
flickmyswitch143
Definitely should have but my skills are limited. I'll have to get someone to help me with that.
BrotherOwl
It's actually super easy. Once you see it once you can do it - wall pattern looks cool either way!
ElbowDeepInUserSub
So are you a Protractor, or a Contractor?
losboccacc
but why didn't you align the outlet and switches goddammit.
flickmyswitch143
Hmm I guess I should have done that. I centered the first hexagon with the center of the wall.

I feel sorry for whoever has to paint over that
TheCrispiestNoodles
I applaud your patience to tape all that up.

Jesus! How big are the bees?

How did you make it so even. That must take hours. Gj op
flickmyswitch143
I used a level and a stencil. Once putting a whole row of hexagons up the following hexagons had less lines to tape because of previous.

@op don't know if you've noticed, but there's a hole in your wall.
Tinyfish3
What was your method?

Your pullout game is weak. Why else would you be making wallpaper for children
Lowktar
Did you start with a 30° angle and pencil in lines with a straight-edge. Tape out the whole grid then removed the excess tape? Howd ya do it
flickmyswitch143
I made a stencil with a hexagon shelf from Marshalls and traced it on foam board. I found the center of the wall and started there.
Lowktar
Nice! Thanks for replying. I forgot about stencils lol
barnsandnobel
As a painter myself, i can see you didnt tape off the base board.... For shame.
JayCurls
As a foreman for a painting company. You taping is a crutch or for diy shit like this I overcharge to avoid doing. Looks cool though.
RelartOfGivia
I thought professional painters didn't need to tape edges like that. Don't y'all feehand that shit?

It's called cutting in...
PawelSlok
Damn right. Only amateurs use tape HA HAHA.
Kittynomnoms
Obviously whoever did this did not possess that skill.
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
Also didnt run a wet rag over the tape. Didnt pull up clean
flickmyswitch143
I wish I would have know this tip before! I'll do this in the future, thank you!
flickmyswitch143
I actually didn't paint it myself, I just taped it
ohnophile
tombofscabs
Or the ceiling!
miramirameow
The baseboards would look cool grey
willyjohnfargo
But you DIDN’T tape the baseboard.
KeepDisturbingMe
When accurate taping by yourself is easier than painting.

You didnt tape the base board
