Thanks so much😁

I have seen some people do that before and it works but I wanted to have a mix of colours for my bricks so some of them are grey toned and some orange etc. I feel like it would be harder to achieve that mixed brick look doing it that method🤔

Hahaha thank you😂🥰

thanks so much!:)

Thank you❤

Thank you❤

Thank you! I think it took a full day to paint, maybe 2, it was a while ago I did it😂 Let me know how you get on!😁

Thank you💗

Thank you💗

Hi, it's better to start with a clean base so if there is wallpaper it's better to remove that. Did you do it on top of satin paint? Maybe it's just not sticking well🤔 You could always try sanding the wall to give it something to grip to instead of a flat smooth surface💗

​@@MEASURETWICE thank you for the advice.👍 Because it wasn't plaster I used (it was pointing cement) this gave me the problems. So I followed the advice you gave in your video and bought the Diall smooth finish plaster and it's all worked a treat just wish I could stick a picture here. It's looking good🎉

@@captaintriker2671 Glad to hear everything worked out!😁💗

It may be a little harder to paint in between the bricks neatly doing it that way but it would be possible. I would recommend buying quite a few little paintbrushes for painting that method so that when the paint brushes get clogged with the sand you can swap to a new one so it can continue to be smooth and not messy😁

@@MEASURETWICE perfect - thank you much for the advice, looking forward to it

@@mickeykat92 No problem, let me know how you get on!😁

It will probably give it a realer looking effect to have the texture but it will probably still look good without it😊

I think it was about 2.5-3 full days if im remembering correctly. Thanks so much♥

@@MEASURETWICE thank you the quick response! I appreciate!! 👍❤️☺️

Thanks so much! I actually did this technique again but in my mums bathroom but used mortar in between the bricks and it stuck really well and looks completely real. I am planning on making an updated video at some point with the mortar technique. I haven't quit youtube, I have just been really busy and my computer that I used to edit broke and I haven't had a chance to fix it. I have about 10 videos filmed though and I'm planning on getting back into it soon😁

Hi, thank you😊 I thought about removing the tape after the second coat of plaster and the paint but I felt like a lot more could you wrong with that. If the plaster ended up being too hard, it would've been really hard to remove the tape without it breaking. I also felt like to much plaster might chip off when removing the tape when it was completely dry. I decided to paint the bricks after because I thought painting it before removing the tape would make the colours look like they all blended too much. Like rather than having one brick be one colour and another be a different colour, they would all just look like they blended in together, if that makes sense. I would've also had to go back and paint the edges of the brick once the tape was removed anyway so I just decided to paint it all together😊

Thank you💗

No, literally nothing has fallen off😁

Thank you!❤ I am planning to start uploading soon but my computer I edit on broke so I need to buy a new one first😅

Muito obrigado!❤

Thanks so much for the tips!❤

Yes, I have done it in my bathroom and had no problems😁

I’m Scottish!😁 Thanks so much💗

You’re welcome

I started with a grey wall so that when I went over with the paint at the end, to touch it up, it would be a lot quicker to paint because I wouldn't have to carefully paint everything between the lines😊

@@MEASURETWICE aaaaha, logical ! I thought it was to prevent the brick from " peeling off" . Thank you👍❤️

@@xy8929 I have done it both ways, painting first and not painting first and both work. The plaster actually sticks really well to most surfaces it seems😊

I actually did this brick wall technique in my bathroom again and used mortar haha it will be in an upcoming video. It honestly looks exactly like brick, you couldn't tell the difference😁 Thank you❤

@@MEASURETWICE hi. I’ve just finished the plastering part of the wall and will be painting soon. I’m interested how you would use the mortar instead of paint.

@@keex1000 That's great! Basically paint the bricks and then mix up your mortar and I just put gloves on and used my finger to apply the mortar in between the bricks. I kind of pushed it in with my finger so the middle of the mortar line was deeper than the edges to give more of a 3D look like this: sullivanengineeringllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/img_2632-1024x768.jpg Let me know if you have any more questions😁

each to their own i guess😂 i wanted it to look like actual brick😁

not too much faffing around for me!

I read online that some people were having issues peeling it off so I was worried about that. It would also chip of some plaster that hadn't been painted so I thought it would be best to peel it off first☺

It was pretty time time consuming but worth it😁
