Tip: Painting Stripes

Okay, okay!  I know this isn't a crochet tip, but I wanted to share it somewhere, so here it is. 

I don't know how other people do it, but I came up with this:

 I wanted to do stripes and decided to make them all the width of the painter's tape.  Then, to measure, I used two small pieces of tape to decide the width. 

 I painted over the whole thing!

 And removed the tape!

 Voila!
