Decorative Art Rollers are a great tool for adding extra detail to any project you are working on! From walls and ceilings to furniture and cabinets, texture rollers work well on all surfaces.
The most common technique for using texture rollers is a "negative" imprinting technique. This means the roller will leave an impression on the surface of your project after it is rolled through wet material.
These patterned rollers work best when rolled through products like Texture Medium, plasters, and glazes.
They can also be rolled through paints that are not quick drying. Chalk-based paints tend to work well with the rollers.
The roller is made of high-quality, durable rubber, measure 7" long and comes with their own handle.

Basic Instructions for Decorative Art Rollers
Texture Rollers are designed to imprint into a medium. Meaning that you first apply wet material to your surface and then roll through while it is still wet. Here are some instructions for different mediums I use. Also, check out the videos below.
Working with Glazing Medium:
Start by applying the glaze to the surface area you are working on. Glaze stays wet longer than any other medium so you can allow the glaze to "set-up" a little before rolling through. Once it has "tacked up" a little, you can roll through. From time to time you may want to off-load the roller so that the roller will continue to remove the glaze. Once you are done rolling through, allow it to thoroughly dry.
Working with Texture Medium:
The ArtsSyVille Embellishments Texture Medium (TxM) was developed as an easy medium to use with the rollers. The TxM can be applied with anything that has a flat side: "room key", spatula, putty knife, trowel, etc. You'll want to apply a thin layer, about 1/8" to 1/16", of the TxM. This will be just enough to allow the roller to leave an impression. Again, you may need to off load the roller depending on your project. Allow to dry completely before painting on the textured finish.
Working with Paint:
You can use any paint brand you want with the rollers, but I personally like working with the Chalk type paints. My favorite brand to work with is Debi's Design Dairy DIY Paints. You can use the paint straight from the jar, just apply to the surface with a brush or roller. If the area you are working on is small enough, the paint will stay wet long enough to roll through with the roller pattern of your choice. If you are working on a large area, you may want to add some clear glazing medium to the paint first, this will allow it to stay wet longer.
