Need help creating brick wall out of cardboard?

Question:I need to paint a brick wall onto a piece of card board. I am wondering if anyone has an easy way to do this. It has to be on a smaller scale than an actual wall. The wall will be about 15 inches tall.

Make a brick shape out of a piece of sponge, dip it in the paint you want to use, then press the sponge into the cardboard in the pattern of the wall. If you dip it lightly into a couple of different colours before 'printing', you will then get a slightly better effect than a block of one colour.

Wow 15 inches is really small, Well, use white cardboard. Then use masking tape to make the "lines" then spray paint it red, take off the tape and you should have a brick wall

hmm. you could use white or brown cardboard. you need either black paint, or a black marker, and brown & red paint;; mix them together. make rectangles with blak, then paint then the inside the brownish red. the rectangles shouldnt line up though

and the next bricks should line up to these...
put tape on the board, then paint.

You could paint the cardboard white or tan, whatever color you want the 'cement' to be. Paint a piece of butcher paper, or construction paper with read and brown tempera paint. After it dries (about 5-10 minutes) cut the painted paper into rectangles in the scale you need, and glue to the cardboard. I made 3' by 3' fireplace prop using this method, and it took me about 30 minutes! Good luck...
