We love maps and we love travel. (Give Scotty a globe and he is entertained for hours). I want to incorporate this somehow into our home. It just so happens, there is a ton of map decor out right now!
...AND IT'S ALL OVER-PRICED.
Have you been to World Market lately? (Will I mention World Market in every post?) Maybe I will. Stay tuned.
When I saw these, my eyes bulged and my jaw dropped.
Did you catch that price? You can bet that I let out a "HA!" and put those little letters back on the shelf they were sitting on.
Let's just head on over to Joann's and see what we can find, shall we?
OH! Thanks Joann, for the $19 in WOODEN letters (Not paper like WM's)
I already had this map-tastic scrapbook paper at home...In TWO options!
Now we stencil. Trace those babies out and get to cutting. Get as many letters as you can on that paper. We don't waste around here!
Mod Podge the letters using a brush. Just a thin, light layer is best or you'll have bubbles and probably end up tearing the paper. Put the paper cutout on the letter and smooth out with a credit card.
A perfect fit. I may end up putting another layer of Mod Podge over the top to seal and protect.
BOOM! I can dig it. I actually like these so much MORE than the letters at WM. They look pretty cool on that table but I think I want to hang them on the wall. They'll look snazzy against the warm gray paint I chose for the house (future post coming).
Well, as usual, you are the shit! Love you and your creative, talented, cute little face!!!!
