How to Decorate Walls With Clemson Paws

Someone who loves Clemson University might want to show off that love in his home. If you are decorating a sports-themed room, or the room in which you like watching Clemson sports, consider painting Clemson Tiger paw prints on the walls. Use a stencil to create the paw prints so they are uniform. Stenciling is also a good option because it is easy and most people can handle it. Just remember to take it slow and to let the paint dry completely between coats for a professional-looking paw print.
