![]() I tried all sorts of flashlights, lamp lights, halogens….nothing was as bright as the smartphone light. Most smartphones can be flashlights (did you know?!) Sometimes you have to download an app. The only light that worked for me was my smartphone light. You will need a box…cut out one side and tape your printed image to the opening. ![]() You will need to trace over the words (or image) with a sharpie. I used an adhesive roller and pasted the plastic to a sheet of cardstock so that it would go through the printer. You could also use a printable transparency sheet-I was using what I had. To print my words, I used a sheet protector (cut the sheet protector at the seams so it is just one piece of plastic). If you want to do a short quote….make it a simple font. This projector would be fabulous if you are wanting to paint an object on the wall (like a picture…or words) I would caution to not pick a font that is too crazy…words are difficult to transfer…a picture would be much easier. Through some trial and error….I found a set up that worked great. I call it a “creative process”…you may call it something else (maybe, half box of crazy?….moving on… ) Please excuse fuzzy picture…the Hubs photography skills at work… )Īny who, I wanted to show you how I went about making this cheap DIY overhead projector. It just wasn’t what I had in mind…and after I found an amazing old mantel for the wall (in my new office) where the quote was written…I went about a whole new idea. ![]() I went about painting it on the wall…and then a week later I painted over it. I love this quote…and I really wanted it up on the wall. I try ideas sometimes…not knowing if I will like the outcome or not…but I need to get it out of my head (know what I mean?) This was one of those ideas. ![]()
