DIY: Map Letter Decor

$

So, I have a horrible addiction to that front part of Target with the dollar items (I know you know exactly what I’m talking about!).  I never need anything there, but I always manage to buy something.  Well, on one trip, the gentleman showed me this adorable letter “A” that I’ve seen at craft stores, and I knew I had to do something with it (plus, it was only $1)!

Anyway, I have an addiction to attempting to make things that look like they would be sold in Anthropologie.  I adore that store, but I don’t always adore the prices.  So, for about $1.25, I made a cute little decor item that could easily be sold for $12+!

 

Materials:

Cardboard Letter (mine was from Target, but I believe craft stores carry them as well)

Old Map (I always pick these up at estate sales)

Mod Podge

X-acto Knife

 

Directions:

1. On the back of the map, trace the outline of your letter.

2. Cut out the traced map with an X-acto knife.

3.  Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the cardboard, and the back of the map. Place the map on the cardboard and let it dry for about 20 minutes.

4.  Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the front of the map.  Let it dry.

5.  You’re done!   Of course this is an extremely customizable project, so hopefully I gave you a few ideas!
