Paper bags and plastic bags can also be used for a different look. Pour the paint into a container large enough for your hands. Instead of dipping your rag into the paint, use your hand to put the paint on the rag, so it wont get too saturated. After the paint is on the rag, fold in the comers. Roll the rag randomly with lots of crinkles and folds so you can get texture, in the shape of a hotdog. Now roll the rag diagonally across the wall, avoid sliding. You dont want it uniform. When you start losing a little detail, add more paint. Ragging gives delicate, subtle, d effects. To make lint-fre- eeEi It is better to underwork the corners than to overdo them, she said.

You can clip the ends of the duster to get a straight edge. Put some paint into a plastic paint tray liner. Dip the feathers into the paint and tap off the paint on the bumpy end of the tray. $229500 497-911- V ffidAWdyl) honored Beltnii Ar-ro- w roundtables at 7 p.m. June 4 at Clearfield High School.
