At Cleverly Inspired, Tracie needed an overhead projector for one of her projects. Instead of trying to find one to buy, she repurposed a cardboard box and sheet protector to become an overhead projector.
Tracie recommends using an overhead projector to help you trace words or a picture onto a wall, rather than trying to paint them free-hand. To make her projector, she cut out one side of a cardboard box, taped her printed image to the opening, and used–get this–her smart phone as a light inside the box. This setup allowed Tracie to project a phrase on the wall so that she could trace it and go over it with paint. Smart, right?
