Free Plans: How To Make A Million Wall

how to make a
Million Wall

Basic Description

We hear about a 'million' all of the time: a million people, a million dollars, a million years etc. It's difficult, though, to get a handle on the concept of a million. This fun project addresses the issue and simultaneously transforms your wall into a conversation piece. You simply paste 100 sheets of paper in a grid pattern over a large painted square area of your wall. Each of the sheets contains 10,000 dots (from the file included below) and the whole wall yields the million dots right in front of you to ponder. Read on for all the details; the plan itself is free!
