DIY MAP PROJECT

I am a home decor junkie.  In my dreams, I flip houses and am every bit as fabulous as Joanna Gaines.  In real life, I do okay but like most people suffer from a case of budget-itis.  Recently, I saw a wall map that made my little heart go pitter pat.  It’s price tag, though, gave me cardiac arrest.  And as usually happens at my house, the conversation went like this:

Me: I LOVE this!! Wait! What?! It costs THAT much?! Nope. I’ll just make one.

Andy: Uh oh

And then it begins…

For this particular project, it was worse because I pretty much already had all I needed…  I just had to buy a little paint.  

I started with some raw duck cloth and a little paint.  Devin gave me a hand with the painting.

Next up, state outlines

Finally, we added a little wood trim and some sawtooth hangers.
