DIY Wall Murals

Let’s be honest, most wall murals and decals are pretty cheesy. I don’t think people really think it through when they have a family photo blown up to monstrous proportions and use it as wallpaper. Pretty soon, the sight of your own smile will start to creep you out. Or, those terrible city sky-line murals. What is it with people (especially New Yorkers) who need to constantly remind themselves that they live in a city? Just look out your window! Personally, I like my city apartment to be super tranquil and remind me of being out in the country. Which is why I find these wall murals so appealing.

If you aren’t the handiest with a paintbrush, here’s some methods you can use to make your own wall mural.

1. Use PosteRazor to slice an image into squares that can be printed out to make a large poster size image.

2. Construct a make-shift projector from a box, a lamp and some tape.
