I am attempting a denim paint effect on my walls. Can you help me with the steps?

Hi Eva,
The faded look of denim is a great effect for a kids room or den. I applied it to my son's room on the lower half of the wall. It's easier to work on a small section. This effect is applied in 3-foot patches using a blue glaze and a rough wallpaper brush or dragging brush. Please click here for more instructions.
This brilliant new section is amazing.
