Ever have a bare wall that is just begging to be covered? Well then, consider using post-it notes to make your very own bit of pixel art.
Lasse Laursen, a resident of Tokyo, has put together a great guide on YouTube showing you how to do just that. By taking a picture of anything at all (he uses one of a pair of headphones) and putting that picture into photo editing software (he uses Gimp), you can convert the photo into the color pallet of regularly available post-it notes. From there you just pixelate the image and get to sticking those post-it notes on your wall.
The whole placement process in the video took Lasse between seven and eight hours.
As the video begins with a time-lapse of the project, skip to 2:35 in the video if you want to skip to the start of the tutorial.
