Top Tip – Paint a children’s mural easily using an overhead projector

Have you ever thought of painting a mural for your child,
but didn’t know how to enlarge the design onto the wall?

The answer is easy!

An over head projector.

You can hire or borrow a projector from a school, church office or hire shop. 

Simply trace your design onto overhead projector film and project the image onto the wall. Play around with the size and postion of your design then trace onto the wall and paint it in.

How to do it

1. Place your overhead transparency onto the overhead projector.

2. Project the image onto the wall.
Spend some time moving the image around until you are
happy with the position and the size on the wall.

Trace the design lightly onto the wall using a soft pencil crayon.

3. Paint your mural
