Have a small piece of wood approximately 3/16” wide ready to use. This will be used as a spacer. Place the spacer next to the first brick, and then place the second brick. Do this all along the bottom of the wall until you reach the end. |
|
|
|
Start the second row staggering the edge of the brick to the center of the row below (just like doing shingles). Again, use your spacer stick between the row you are working on and the row below. This will keep the spaces between the rows even. |
|
|
|
When you reach the end of the row, a brick will have to be cut in half. Save these half pieces as you will need them in every row. |
|
|
|
Do not worry if one brick is a tad wider than another; you can compensate with the grouting later. Try to keep the top of the rows as even as possible. Carry on up the wall all the way to the top. |
|
|
|
When doing an adjoining wall, draw on the lines to match the lines used on the first wall.
When gluing the bricks, on the corner if there was a short brick on one side, then place a full brick on the other, doing this all the way up the wall. If possible, try and match or closely match the bricks on the corners. |

Using Matte Mod Podge, apply 2 coats to everything, letting it dry well between coats. Use a stiff brush so that you can get into the crevices. On the second coat, brush in the opposite direction to ensure that you have good coverage. |

|
Put some polyfilla into a separate container, and add a few drops of acrylic paint using the same colour as you used on the background of your wall. Mix thoroughly. |
|
|
|
Fill a syringe with your mixed polyfilla. I used a spatula and plunged the polyfilla to the bottom. It isn’t necessary to have a needle on the end.
|
|
|
|
Slowly press down the plunger so that the coloured polyfilla will fill in the spaces between the bricks. Let dry 30 minutes to ½ hour before going on to next step. |
|
|
|
Use a sharp blade or a knife and clean up any polyfilla which has gone over the bricks. Be careful not to scrape too far down. You can also use a dampened cloth to wipe up any unwanted polyfilla.
|
|
|
|
Using a sgraffito tool, obtained at any ceramic shop, or using a pen which has run out of ink, scratch each line of polyfilla which will then form a V shape between each brick. |
|
|
|
Use a stiff brush to remove any excess. |
|
|
|
When completely finished and satisfied with your brickwork, either spray or brush on two coats of matte sealer |
