I Decided to Do the Post-it Method Since I Have a Huge Boring Wall in My Living Room and a Lot of Spare Post-its

Crop the Photo So You Can Use Less White Post-its, Save Time and Money

Count Each Pixel One by One to Find Out Exactly How Many Post-its You Will Need for Each Color or You Estimate How Many You Need and Hope for the Best (I Would Not Recommed Estimating)

I Suggest to Buy the 3x3 White 90 Sheet 5 Pack Post-its at Any Office Store Such As Staples. You Can Then Color the Post-its With Colored Pencils, If Necessary.

Color the Post-its in Advance or Mark Them While Assembling Them and Color Them Afterwards

Be Precise: When Placing the Post-its, Ensure They Are Centered and Try Not to Rush the Process.

Use Clear Tape for Any Post-its That Are Sticking Up or Not Sticking to the Wall

Color the Red and Black Marked Post-its When All of Them Have Been Place on the Wall (skip This Step If Post-its Were Colored Prior to Placing on the Wall)
