How to make a wall mural using projector

I can honestly say that a wall mural is very easy to paint once you are patient with it. A big empty wall can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning when you start drawing your designs with a pencil but I promise you that you will get over it quickly and will just have fun with it. My advice is don't think too much about it and just do it!

Since I painted the murals we had a few guests over who thought that we got new wallpapers. They couldn't believe that I painted the walls myself! My wall paintings made a huge difference to otherwise empty and boring looking walls. And the best part of it is that they didn’t cost me anything to make! I already had everything needed to make them.

I’m wondering are you brave enough to make a mural in your home? Did you get tempted, even just a little bit, after reading my post? Please let me know. It would be lovely to hear what you think!
