Introduction: Map of the World on a Wall

About: I'm just a groovy girl making groovy instructables ;).
It is really easy to make this wall mural, and it looks like a million dollars when it is done!
Materials:
- Paint Pen (To outline the map)
- Projector
- Projector Sheets
- Image of a Map
- Choose an image online that you would like to use. I recommend using a map that is very basic, so you don't have many lines and curves to trace.
- Print out the map you have chosen on the projector sheet.
- Turn on your projector, and place the map on the clear face of it. Project the image on the wall you want it to be on.
- Get your paint pen and trace over the outline of the continents. You may want to go over it 2 or 3 times so that it is fully painted.
- Turn off your projector, and then you're done! Let the paint dry and admire your creation.

Cool! My son wants a New York skyline on his walls. I was planning on doing it in vinyl decals cut out on my Silhouette Cameo (plotter). I never thought to use a projector, but I'm sure it would save me a ton of time and money to do it that way. Thanks!

Pretty simple idea, but very clever. I like the simple finished look. I guess if someone were inclined, they could very easily add countries, states, names and so on. Nice work!
