I wanted to introduce you to my newest favorite decorating tool. Yes, this magical device can take this novice artist and make me look like I know what I am doing. I can project on the walls, on furniture, the ceilings....you get the picture. This little machine was purchased through a Craigs listing for pennies on the door.
I got my graphics from
Graphic Fairy...her pieces are great. I am even tracing one on kitchen towels tonight.
This dresser is a cast off from my daughter. I mod-podged the top with scrap paper and stained the rest of the piece....still tooooooooooo boring.
You just set your machine over the image you want to project onto your surface.
You will have to adjust the distance by moving the machine closer or further back.
Just like in school...now that was really years ago.
This looked great and I think I will reduce it and put it beside the sewing machine.
I decided on the sewing machine since this dresser holds my sewing supplies.
Now just trace...it is that easy. I traced first with pencil and then with black sharpie pen. The finished piece will be revealed later.
This is fun...now to find other places. I am looking for a wall to project a table onto...it won't take up room space, yet it will look like a piece of furniture. Where might you enjoy projecting?
My first project with my projector was my son's room. Here is the full blog post of his room - http://janettessage.blogspot.com/2012/05/cowboy-room-reveal.html
Let your imagination take you beyond your abilities with a projector!
