Mum turns her backyard into a boho movie paradise using a Big W camping buy!

There's something about watching a movie outdoors under the stars that just makes you feel more relaxed. Whether it's the fresh air, the quietness of nature, or the blanket of stars above you, there's something special about experiencing a film in this way.

While outdoor film viewing seems to grow in popularity among many people, not a lot of spaces are dedicated to it.



This prompted one South Australian mum to take matters into her hands to create her own DIY outdoor movie-watching experience with her two kids.

Using a camping tent from Big W, Carissa Wright managed to create a boho outdoor cinema for her family.

Sharing her tip on Instagram, the mum said that it only took her 15 minutes to assemble the $269 Bestway Lay-Z-Spa Dome outside her home.

'Movie night with the kids trying out our new huge gazebo from Big W. They were stoked and the sunset really turned it on for us too!' Carissa wrote along with a video of her children curled up in warm blankets, sitting on a carpet beneath the dome, and watching a movie that was being projected into the back wall.

'Perfect for camping with a quick and easy setup, removable sides and it gives us an extra room as we all know it's a little squishy with four people in a Kombi!’ And it ‘Folds down into a compact bag for storage!'

The mum also put some fairy lights on the movie frame to complete the magical look.



The video has captured the attention of hundreds of Instagram users, with many expressing their admiration for the 'dreamy' setup.

One user wrote: 'This is amazing!! So awesome!'

'It does look good, something different,' another said.

That looks very cool.
I'd like to do this with my grandkids next summer, but what sort of projector do you use? How is the sound?
What else do I need for the set up?
