How to Create a Herringbone-Pattern Tabletop

If you want to make your own tool, it's easy with a plastic putty knife. Using a pair of sharp scissors, cut V-shaped notches into the tip of the knife to clip out teeth. The wider the putty knife, the fewer passes you'll have to make through the glaze.

Tip:
Reserve another plastic putty knife to adhere the tape to the table. Run the smooth blade along the tape's edges to ensure paint doesn't bleed underneath.
