The 1-2-3's Of Paint By Number Murals

One of the easiest ways to put up a child wall mural is with paint by number. And before you think it's far too difficult to do, think again. Here's a look at how you can do your own beautiful paint by number mural.

To start off with this type of child wall mural there are two different methods you can follow with these types of wall murals. You can use an overhead projector mural which enlarge the picture up against the wall for you to trace, or you can use transfer paper murals which you trace the designs on your wall.

Either way works great so it comes down to a personal decision.

The overhead projector mural is nice because you can adjust the size of the wall mural design. You can also move it around on the wall to find the perfect spot you want.

Using the transfer mural method is also nice because you are not having to do anything free-hand. You simply trace the design on the paper and you'll end up with a great paint by number mural.

Once you have everything traced, you can begin painting the mural. You can purchase the paint from any type of store you wish.

The type of paint is also a personal preference, but using a semi-gloss is often your best bet due to ease of cleanup.

One of the only things to be careful with is in tracing the numbers. Do them lightly so they will not show through when you begin painting them.

As you can see, a paint by number mural is not difficult at all. In fact, you will quickly find it to be a lot of fun as you get going.
