How to Make a Pink and Zebra Print Bookcase

Paint a Zebra Print Bookcase

• 1

  Paint your bookcase pink using a paint roller or paint brush. Remove the shelves and paint them separately for an easier job.

• 2

  Paint tapered zebra stripes in an uneven pattern with black paint on the two outer sides of the bookcase. Use the 1-inch-wide brush for the thicker parts of the stripes and switch to the 1/8-inch-wide brush for the tapered points of each stripe. Make fatter stripes for a bolder look and thinner stripes for a more subtle design.

• 3

  Remove the shelves of the bookcase and paint a zebra pattern on the inner sides and back of the bookcase if you want to exaggerate the zebra theme.
