Would your little girl like a bedroom fit for a princess?

With not too much difficulty or cost, you can create a simple but effective mural that will not only look beautiful but also give your child the pleasure of helping to make it. Above her bed would be an ideal position for this mural design.

You will need

• Artists’ acrylic paint in the colours of your choice. Choose colors to tie in with the rest of the room.
• Large sheet of paper approximately 1.5’ wide. You could use a sheet of newspaper if you can’t find paper big enough.
• Masking tape to tape the design to the wall
• An overhead projector (optional)
• Overhead projector transparent film (optional)
• Strong contact adhesive
• Pretty buttons, stars, beads, sequins, stick-on jewels or any jewel-like bits that can be found in craft shops.
• Soft graphite, charcoal or colored chalk
• A helpful little girl

Directions
Draw a simple crown and stars shape. You can find crown shapes to copy in children’s storybooks that you may already have or from your local library.

The crown shape is quite a simple shape, so you may be able to simply copy it onto some large paper and transfer it onto the wall without the use of an overhead projector. If not, borrow or rent a projector and draw the design onto overhead projector film and project your design onto the wall, where you can trace the outline to the size desired.

I suggest making the width of the crown approximately four feet wide.
