💕 Tutorial How to create stone walls by using cardboard and acrylic paint

How to make a stone wall out of cardboard and acrylic paint for your medieval projects 

This is a nice and easy way to create a wall that looks like stone just by using some acrylic paint. I made this, because I am working on a old medieval tavern. You can also use this technique to make the exterior walls of your house look old and dirty.  NOTE: choose the cardboard in a thickness that will be suitable to paint on, so that you have an even wall at the end (I recommend at least 5mm)

If you wannt to know how I made the wooden parts - please follow my blog, I am going to make a tutorial for that as well. 


Let's start! 💕




1. Measure a piece of cardboard in the size you want to have it and glue one layer kitchen roll on it (I recommend wood glue). Use a brush to make it uneven like shown




2. When you are happy with the texture you created let it dry and paint it with opaque white. 

3. Take ocher acrylic paint and speckle it irregularly on it. 
Next to no. 3 you have a sample
picture how it should look. 


4. Now mix ocher with some 
black and add it in the same way 
like in no. 3. Don't add much water to the acrylic paint in this step.



5. It should look like this now. 

6. Now mix opaque white with 
a little amount of water and 
speckle it on the parts that are too dark in your opinion. 

7. Continue by using your finger, 
to get a nice texture. 

8. Mix black with some water. Add a little amount of black on your finger and speckle it on the parts you want to have very dirty or old looking. 


If you are not happy with the result, just add more white/black/ocher in the technique we just
used, till your wall looks realistic. 

If you have any questions to that, please let me know!
