This simple DIY project is perfect for important trips such as a honeymoon, a destination wedding, missions trips, ect. I also have done something similar to this with the places we’ve lived since Mr. Sthole joined the military. I found this at hellolidy.com
What you need:
A map – We found a used map at a book store while in Ireland, it has a lot of the cities we stayed in or passed through!
A frame – I went to Target and found my frame on sale for $8!
Some Mod Podge
Paint Brush
Scissors
Picture – I decided to put a picture of my husband in I while we were in Ireland. I’m sure you can imagine, there were thousands to choose from! The sad thing is, there aren’t a lot of pictures of us around the house so this seemed appropriate!
What to do:
Disassemble your picture frame so you can retrieve the mat board. Lay out your map on a flat surface and place the mat board on top. Trace the outline with a pencil (dark enough so you can see). Take your scissors and carefully cut out the outline. Once you have your piece, take your mod podge and put a nice layer on top of your mat board. With as much precision as possible, carefully lay your map onto the mat board. Take another layer of your mod podge and gently put another coat on top. Allow to completely dry. Once the mat board is dry, place back into your frame. Place your picture securely behind the mat board and return the back onto the frame! That’s it! Now hang it somewhere so you can be reminded of your special trip!
