Description:
Easy mural kits for kids rooms. DreamRoomCreations.com sells them. Basically a trace and paint project. Looks great and so easy to do. Adorable murals and well worth the money (not expensive at all).

Materials:
-Mural Magic mural kit (sold at www.dreamroomcreations.com)
-colored paints
-painters tape
-paint brushes

Instructions:
1. Tape top of mural pattern to wall with painters tape (pattern provided in Mural Magic kit).

2. Tape transfer paper to wall under the pattern and trace over that section, moving transfer paper as you go along tracing (transfer paper provided in kit).

3. After image is transfered to the wall, trace image on wall with PAINT marker (provided in kit).

4. Paint image on wall with colored paint (it's like coloring in a color book).

5. Then, when paint is dry, retrace with PAINT marker to fine-tune the mural.

THAT'S IT!!! EASY!!!

My sister did this in one day (would have been in less than a day without all the distractions) and it looks awesome!!! I've attached an image from the Dreamroom Creations website so you can get an idea of what it's like.
