DIY Banksy Wall Art♥

Hello everyone! i am so so sorry that i haven't been sticking to my posting schedule, however today i have something very exciting that i want to tell you about, because i did this during the summer holidays but i have just been too nervous to put it up! It is my Banksy Wall Art Video....

Now this is the first video i have ever put on YouTube  and i know its terribly edited and i have no makeup on, but give me a chance! I'm still a bit cautious about the whole thing but hopefully i will get better. Anyway the video doesn't really go into much detail about how i actually did it, so i thought that i might do it on here even thought it was actually surprisingly easy :P

1. Print off the image that you want to the size that you want it to be on your wall (remember the image will be the opposite way around on your wall, so bare that in mind when printing off the image)
2. Trace the image using tracing paper (i stuck mine to the floor to stop it from moving)
3. Tape the tracing on the wall the other way around where you want it to go. Then go over it with a pencil to transfer the design onto the wall (i then went over the lines straight onto the wall to make them clearer and so hopefully there was less chance of me making a mistake!)
4. Paint your design! You can use specially designed paint, but i just used some from the 99p store and it worked just as well.
5. Once its dry go around the edge of it with a rubber to remove any pencil smudging that may be left.

And there you have it! I hope this might have given you some encouragement if maybe you have wanted to paint a mural on your wall or just something to change up your room a little :D

(ps. Song of the day is "pencil full of lead" by Paolo Nutini, because i have always loved this song but have never found out the name of it until recently!)
