Create a circle outline
You need to choose where you want to position your circle, so consider where your furniture and accessories will go. Tie a piece of string to the pencil and the other end to the pin point, which should then be pushed into the wall where you want the center of your circle to be. The length of the string will determine the outer diameter of your circle. Holding the string taut, draw a circle on your wall. Next, tighten the string slightly to draw the inner edge of your circle outline.
Paint in the circle design
With a fine straight brush, carefully paint in between the two penciled circles, working away from the top, in both directions in turn, to avoid any smudges. More circles can be created in this way as desired.
