This month Joel Ricks & his Daddy gave a demo on Brown Bag Walls. The three necessary ingredients are:

-DRAW TITE® CLEAR NO RUN primer

Prime your walls with DRAW TITE® NO RUN and allow them to dry. Then tear your paper into random pieces about 15" in diameter. Paste about 15 pieces at a time using undiluted GH-34. Apply adhesive to the inside of the paper 's curve.
Veronica Willemin of Veronica's Wallcovering (Newport, OR 541-574-9843) tries her hand at Brown Bag Walls.
Install the straight edges along the ceiling line, above base boards, around doors & windows, etc. first. Then fill in the missing pieces. Don't use pieces with straight edges when filling in. Allow the paper to dry overnight, then top coat generously with DRAW TITE® NO RUN.
This recipe for Brown Bag Walls will give you an aged leather look. You can substitute red rosin paper to achieve a rose leather color. You can paint the paper before or after installation for a more faux painted look. Another variation is to use liner paper and tint your adhesive any color you wish.
In addition to using DRAW TITE® in our demo, Scotch Paint donated samples of their original clear, NO RUN clear, and white primers to our chapter. For more info visit www.scotchpaint.com
