To paint a honeycomb design on a wall: 1. Create a base line using masking tape and a spirit level to mark where the hexagon shapes will be placed. 2. Use a cardboard template to draw hexagon shapes that will then be cut out of masking tape and arranged along the base line. 3. Paint the shapes using a small roller or brush, then peel off the tape while the paint is still wet to reveal the honeycomb pattern.

Use your triangle as a template to draw a
six-triangle hexagon. Duplicate this shape
for as many honeycomb hexagons as you
will need.
Using a tab of masking tape, arrange these hexagons along your
base line, spaced as you like. Completely mask around the outer
edge of each hexagon, then remove the cardboard shape,
creating a stencil. Repeat with a smaller inner hexagon if you
wish to create outlines rather than solid shapes.

5. Pop on the paint Peel to reveal
Using a small roller or brush, fill in the shapes
with the paint colours of your choice.
While the paint is still a little wet, remove the
tape to reveal your shapes!
