Using simple and inexpensive materials, you can make creative decor on the surface of the walls.
In this review, the author shows how to achieve a beautiful snake skin effect using a decorative roller.
Moreover, the decorative roller does not need to be bought. It can be made with your own hands. This will require a foam roller, silicone sealant and an old plastic card.
Apply sealant to the roller and use a card or other object to evenly distribute it over the entire surface.

The main stages of work
After applying the silicone, we wait about 10-15 minutes, and then gently draw a plastic card along the roller, forming a relief surface.
When the silicone is completely dry, again take the sealant and apply horizontal and vertical stripes.
Having moistened a finger in water, we press the resulting stripes a little.
After that, we pass one of the sides of the roller with sealant and loop it. This will make the seams more invisible.
How to make a "snake decor"
Tile glue with a plasticizer must be applied to the previously prepared wall surface. Layer thickness - at least 1 cm.
We wait 45 minutes, after which we spend on the wall surface with a decorative roller, constantly wetting it with soap and water from the spray gun.
At the last stage, it remains only to wait until the wall is dry, and then primed and painted.
