More with Maps

First it was V. and me, but now we have another one..Little Z. She just came to live with us this week, so we haven't had much crafting time. I have to admit, this craft I did on my own because it took a little more attention to detail (and my two mini divas are very random). I hope to do something crazy with paint and glitter this weekend....we'll see how much stamina I have on Saturday.

I still had lots of maps and wanted to do one more project with them. This was the end result:

Supplies: 
Block of wood
Paint
Modge Podge
Letters -I got these at Michaels for 50 cents a piece
Old Maps
Scissors
Glue Gun

Steps: I found an old block of wood in the garage and painted it blue. While the blue paint was drying, a put the letters on the maps and traced them. 

Step 2: I used the Modge Podge and glued the maps to the letters. 

Step 3: After the letters dried, I painted the edges a dark blue color. 

Step: After everything dried, I glued the letters to the block of wood and Voila! 

I display this next to our travel pictures frames. It was fairly easy and is a great memory of our various travels.
