Fancy a movie night with a real projector screen? Building one is easy. Here are the ideas, plans, and tutorials to get you through the project.
It’s a lovely idea. You want to gather all your family to watch a movie, but a TV isn’t big enough (even if it’s reasonably large). And what about an outdoor movie party in your backyard during the summer? You need a big projector screen for this. And if you were still pondering this idea, you will want to get to it now.
It’s easy too! A simple makeshift screen takes only cheap materials (fabric and poles) to make. But if you want to create something more serious, something that would make a feature in your home, we have plans for that too. Now, go through all of these ideas and decide on which would suit you best.
