Are you looking to enjoy movies on a projector but don’t want to spend a fortune on a fancy projector screen? Look no further! In this post, we’ll teach you how to make a projector screen for under $4 using gift wrapping paper, double-sided scotch tape, regular scotch tape, and scissors.
Start by purchasing two rolls of gift wrapping paper. We recommend a high gloss paper with dimensions of approximately 100 inches by 40 inches. Unwrap the paper and tape it along the top mark so that it’s hanging down nicely. Then, tape the bottom market in the same way. This will give you a flat surface to work with.
Next, tape the entire surface of the gift wrapping paper with the double-sided scotch tape. Once that’s done, take the regular scotch tape and tension the paper out by taping it up halfway up if possible. If not, a little bit lower will suffice. Make sure the bottom is flush with the surface.
Once you’ve completed the project, it may not look super professional, but it will definitely get the job done. You can now enjoy movies on your projector with more of a brightness without the need for a fancy screen. In fact, the difference between using a standard wall and a projector screen’s reflectiveness is huge, making the colors pop and giving you a great viewing experience.
So if you’re looking for an affordable way to make a projector screen, give this DIY method a try. Spend only $4, and you’ll have a great viewing experience in the comfort of your home.
