Step 2

Our next step will be to age the bricks so the wallpaper needs to be very dry or it will wrinkle.

To age the bricks, dip a cotton swab into a light grey paint and rub off as much paint as possible. The swab should be almost completely dry. Using a light touch, gently smudge the bricks with the swab, focusing on the edges of the bricks. You may need to use another clean cotton swap to rub the paint till it has a soft, natural look. Using another swab, apply a dark grey paint in the same way. Touch this paint a little harder, but in smaller amounts over the lighter grey. This gives the bricks texture and realism.
