Step 1:

You're going to need to cut the sheet into a rectangle that covers the whole wall. The size of the rectangle will depend on how big your projector screen needs to be, so if you're planning on a huge one, then get a bigger sheet.

Start off by taping a corner of the sheet onto your wall, and just keep taping it down as you walk around it until you reach the end of the wall.

The next step is to put some more tape across it at about two feet from each end so that you can use it like a sling later on.

Step 2:

Now, you're going to cut it into four equal pieces. Take one of the corner pieces and fold it in half, then fold the other two corners in half as well.

Then, take the two diagonal pieces and fold them in half. The last step is to take the remaining piece of tape and fold it over itself to make a small tent, with one side hanging down.

Ever done any camping or backpacking? Then you'll know that these steps are exactly how you pitch a tarp before bed at night. So, you simply use the same technique, but with a sheet instead.

Then, once you feel that it's right, fold the tent wall in two and it's ready to use.

Step 3:

Now that you've got your projector screen hooked up to an extension cord, plug in the power strip and use it as a power source for your screen.

To make sure that it'll work with all projectors, just make sure that you buy a power strip which has an S-shaped socket (not the usual rounded ones), or better yet, get one with two sockets - one for input power and one for output.
