Imitation masonry with a minimum budget

I decided to arrange a corridor in her apartment brickwork. When I found it, how much will it cost to tile laying, I realized that I was absolutely not satisfied with the price. Then I decided to do an imitation of brickwork independently with the help of plaster and tile adhesives.

Most crucial and tedious stage - drawing marks on the wall. Armed with a ruler, level and pencil draw our future bricks. At this stage, it is important that it was drawn as straight as possible, otherwise then everything can go wrong. After marking the need to take tape or duct tape and put on the wall - do gaps between the bricks.

The next step - the creation of a mixture for future bricks. I used the stucco and tile adhesive, mix in a ratio of 1: 1. Knead solution, take the spatula and put on the wall and with a marking tape. It is important to try to keep a uniform layer thickness on the entire wall, otherwise the resulting blocks of different thickness are obtained. After applying the solution, gently begin to withdraw tape, making the gaps between bricks. The main rule - do not need to wait until the solution has hardened, remove the need to immediately. Then attach the bricks desired shape. This can be used for everything - I leveled hands, apply the tiles, bricks, made a dent as I wanted.

After drying the bricks you can start painting. I wanted white corridor, so I painted bricks, respectively, in white color. Thus, in the corridor area of ​​5 square meters, I spent a few days of active work and less than 5000 rubles. But I treated the work with a high degree of perfectionism - if I did not like concrete, brick, I reworked it again. The result makes me very happy, wall look great.
