This creative roller is used to create a mini twisted pattern on your project. Use a bristle brush to apply a layer of paint all over the raised pattern, and while your paint is wet on your roller, roll across your surface and watch the fun pattern transfer onto your project. You will need to reload your paint as you go. Another option is to spread a texture medium/plaster, like Wood Icing Textura Paste or VP Antico, over your surface. While the plaster is still wet, roll your clean roller through the plaster and an impression of the pattern will appear. Each roller comes with a handle that can be removed for easy clean up.
