Overview
Fauxy Rollers, also known as Decorative Art Rollers, give you the ability to create a textured pattern and design on just about any surface you want!
These rollers are commonly used for creating a "negative" technique, meaning the design is imprinted into the medium being used. You can use a number of different mediums with these rollers including paint (thicker based paints like DIY Chalk Paint), glaze, plasters, or texture.
Rolling Through Texture
Rolling your Fauxy Roller through texture is a great way to add depth and texture to your project.
Step 1 - Prep your surface with a base color! Because the roller will be removing some of the texture medium, your base color matters.
Step 2 - Trowel on your texture medium. The texture medium Jenn uses in the video above is from her own line of products called ArtsSyVille Embellishments. You will want to trowel on about 1/8th to 1/16th of an inch thick. If you trowel on too thick of a coat, the product will clump up on the roller.
Step 3 - Make sure your roller is spinning well. If it's not, check out this video below.
Step 4 - Now you can roll through the texture. You can roll bottom to top, or top to bottom; whichever you prefer. If the roller slides or you don't line it up how you want, you can smooth out the texture again with your trowel and re-roll through.
