How To Transfer A Design To A Wall Without A Projector
By Silverspoonmurals.com If you have been scratching your head trying to figure out how to draw a proportionate and accurate picture on the wall so that you could paint it, well, here is everything you need to know to do the job with just a few handy items. As you probably know transferring your design to a wall without a projector will be a bit more time consuming, but here are the steps to make this happen:
You will use a grid pattern to enlarge your finished design.
1. First create your finished design
2. Overlay a square grid pattern on top of it in one inch squares. Each square box will be equal to one foot when transfered to the wall. The size of grid you use will depend on how much detail is in the drawing.
3. Once you have established your grid size, you can draw a grid pattern directly on the wall using something you can easily paint over like chalk, light pencil or charcoal pencil.
4. Once the grid is drawn, sketch the image inside the corresponding square from the original drawing to the enlarged drawing on the wall.
5. You can also create the enlarged image on large pieces of craft paper and newsprint. Then perforate the drawing with a pounce wheel. (You are basically outlined the large image by putting holes in the paper) Then tape up each piece of paper to the corresponding grid on the wall and use a chalk bag (a cotten cloth bag with powdered chalk in it.) Pounce the bag outlining the drawing on the wall. This will leave chalk marks on the wall with your design.
