Learn how to create this elegant and sophisticated wall finish for any room in your house in 3 easy steps.
You’re going to be shocked at how easy and inexpensive this wall finish is to create.
I also want to thank Gerri Lewis Mooney for naming this wall finish on my Facebook page. The name of this finish is Capizo.
In Gerri’s words: “Capizo“ shells is what this luxe wall design reminds me of. ???? it’s Stunning!
Capiz shells are shells that are found in a province in the Philippines called Capiz. A capiz shell, which is found on the coastal waters, is the outer shell of a marine mollusk.
Here is a picture of a Capriz shell. Soft and delegate.

Step #1:
Crinkle up the tissue paper in a ball. You can get this at the Dollar Tree or any department store. It’s the same paper you wrap your Christmas gifts with.
Step #2
Apply wallpaper paste to the wall. Full coverage but not thick.
Step #3
Use a large soft brush to lightly apply the tissue paper to the wall. Apply in a crisscross fashion
When you get to the outer edge of a wall, leave the excess to dry. You can remove it the next day.
If you want to cover the switch plates spray some primer on them first so the paper sticks. I just go right over it when it’s on the wall.
If you don’t want to cover the switch plates, then tape them off. You can use a utility knife when you’re done to remove the tape.
Apply two coats (eggshell or satin) paint on wall. Let dry overnight.
Use a car sponge to apply the metallic paint.
You can use any color you wish. I used Pearl for this wall.
Here’s is the finished room. It’s difficult to see the true beauty of this finish in this picture. Look at the one below in gold.
I also did this finish in gold. It’s absolutely stunning!
