how well do patterned rollers work
Basic Texture Roller. Place a roller pad with 1-inch or thicker nap (padding) on a roller frame. An old pad that has been used and not thoroughly cleaned (so some of the tufts clump together) works best for this. Stretch and twist rubber bands around the pad at a variety of angles, creating clumps and random patterns with tufts and lines. Apply paint to your walls with this roller as you would with any roller, but slightly adjust the rubber bands periodically as you work to renew the texture.
