The Instructions of Patterned Paint Rollers

Stunning DIY Decorative Paint Rollers to Create Elegant Design Patterns

When a U.S. client stumbled across these paint rollers in the official website of G.SB paint tools (Professional Manufacturer of Decorative Patterned Paint Rollers and Paint Tools), he was so excited that he bought the lot and spent the next four months of his hiking trip regretting his cumbersome purchase.

They have been used there for the last 100 years as an alternative to wallpaper. As an ardent up-cycler, he has been using them ever since to bring unloved fabrics and wonky old walls back to life.

He adapted the traditional roller system for use in fabric printing. There is also a simpler foam roller for paper and walls.

How it works

The first part is a patterned paint roller, a rubber paint roller with a raised pattern embossed on its surface. The second part is an applicator consisting of a frame, a handle, and a special foam feeder roller.

To use the patterned paint roller, roll the feeder roller into some paint (any paint can work, no special glazes needed), snap on the patterned paint roller, and you're ready to roll!

As you roll, the floor of the patterned paint curler picks up a thin, uniform layer of paint and deposits it on the wall to print a flawlessly uniform pattern.

You can't run out of paint midway because the foam feeder roller holds sufficient paint for three full passes down the wall. It will seem perfectly uniform across the entire wall since the sample won’t drip.

Decorative painting with patterned paint rollers is easier than it looks. You don’t need artistic skill. You can begin in any corner of the room using the corner as your guide. Each pass becomes your guide for the next. Allow the passes to overlap slightly, which eliminates the appearance of seams. The pattern will unfold before your eyes almost like magic! There’s no need for measuring, plumb lines, or chalk lines because with our Laser Pattern Alignment Guide, you can always keep the pattern perfectly straight.

A strip of masking tape protects the ceiling, and a subtle and very distinctive half-inch border creates an attractive framed-in look. All parts are completely washable and reusable, so you can apply a complete faux-wallpaper look to any room within just one hour.

This could be the smartest decorating investment you will ever make. K brand patterned paint rollers can be reused with different color combinations as often as you like. They'll never wear out. The money saved in doing your first room more than pays for the entire investment.

How to use Patterned Paint Rollers step by step

Before you start, it's worth practicing the technique on a bit of hardboard, a large piece of paper, or on the walls you’re intending to roller before you paint the base color. We recommend using old household paints you might have. Look at written instructions on Google for different paint options on how to use them. Ensure the roller is really dry from the previous use as it's made from high-density foam that can carry a lot of paint.

Instead of using a paint tray, pour some paint on a flat bit of board and work across until the paint is absorbed into the foam roller. Lay off the excess paint on the foam roller on a piece of paper, then add in the design roller. Get a full covering of paint on the pattern; once covered, test it on paper to ensure it’s the right way up.

Always work from the top left-hand corner, passing from top to bottom in vertical columns and moving across the wall towards the right-hand side. Use the left side of the wall as a vertical guide, holding the applicator at a 40-degree angle to the wall and maintaining that angle.

Keep even pressure as you run down the wall. If small gaps appear in corners, place paper there to fill them in later. If imperfections appear, touch them up with a brush and continue. Alternate between a plus and minus mark on the roller for consistency and after each pass.

Sufficient paint for three to four passes should be available on the roller, refresh the paint accordingly to maintain density. Don’t try to stretch the paint as it will lose consistency. If paint runs out mid-pass, mark the point and continue from where you left off.

The same techniques apply to furniture or other upright surfaces. You may need masking tape for clean applications. If sections are missed, they can be retouched with a brush.

Additional Tips for Patterned Paint Rollers

The Preparation

Walls: Put a 2-inch width of masking tape along the ceiling where it meets the wall and on the top of the skirting. Remove any light switches and socket covers, rolling over the holes as you pass down the wall.

Practice the technique on hardboard, large pieces of paper, or the walls you plan on painting. Only use dead flat matt paint without vinyl sheen.

The System

Insert the design roller into the elongated slots in the handle bracket, ensuring it spins freely. Each design roller varies slightly in length. Insert the foam roller into the middle of three holes in the bracket. To load paint, use a flat board, not a tray. Roll until the foam absorbs paint, then mount the design roller and roll to test.

Begin rolling from the upper left-hand corner, maintaining a 45-degree angle from top to bottom, and overlap slightly to avoid gaps. Switch between plus and minus marks on each pass for neatness.

Cleaning

Wash the rollers in hot soapy water. Let them air dry without touch, storing them in towels to avoid deformation. Ensure they dry completely before reuse.

The History of G.SB's Texture Pattern Paint Rollers

Our workshop is similar to a small industrial museum with machines from the 2010s. Textured rollers made from a rubber-plastic mixture can create decorative patterns, like wall designs. The production saw a decline as patterned wallpaper gained popularity, but the method is being preserved and modernized.

The idea emerged in the mid-19th century, expanding to a wide variety of patterns including floral and geometric designs, making it an important part of the decorations.

Today, we produce these tools in China, adapting historical techniques. By injecting liquid PVC into molds, these textured rollers are made, reworked for precision, and used for various materials.

This practice combines history and art, making it accessible for anyone to create beautiful wall designs, enhancing every space with unique patterns.
