    Yes! If your wall is a dark color, trace it on a computer paper & then on the back of it use chalk and go over the area you want to trace. Once finished with that, placed the chalk side on the wall & trace over it wil pen or pencil.


    If it’s a white wall or lightly colored, use a sharp pencil. :)


    hope that helps!
