Create a border from vibrant food packaging labels, bags or wrappers, like those on rice and imported foods. Trim all the labels or packages so that they are all the same height. Apply a strip of painter’s tape 6 to 8 inches lower than the ceiling all the way around the walls, or at the desired border size, indicating the base of the edge. Use a level to be sure the tape is horizontal. Apply the food-themed decor to the wall using decoupage medium, painting it over the wall edge area using a foam brush or roller, then smoothing the packing in place.
