Yes, it’s absolutely possible to create a DIY projector screen. The basic idea is to build a frame and stretch a smooth, white material across it to serve as your screen. For the fabric, blackout cloth is a popular choice because it provides a better image by preventing light from passing through, but a simple white sheet or shower curtain can also work in a pinch. You’ll need to construct a frame, typically using 1x3 or 1x4 wooden boards, and secure them together with screws to match your desired screen size.

Once your frame is ready, stretch the fabric tightly over it, securing it in place with a staple gun, making sure to avoid wrinkles for a smooth surface. For a more polished look, you can add black felt tape around the edges to create a border, which helps improve the image contrast by absorbing any stray light. The screen can either be mounted on the wall using hooks or left portable by hanging it from a ceiling with ropes or hooks.

If you want an upgrade, using projector screen paint on a solid surface can give you an even better result. Regardless of your approach, keeping the fabric tension tight and reducing ambient light in the room will significantly improve the viewing experience.

I hope this helps!
