DIY Map Picture

As I was going through pounds of old things I came across an old atlas and couldn't help but love the idea of hanging the maps on my wall. I needed something new to liven up the room a bit so I thought I would share my little DIY project here.

First this is what you'll need:

















You'll also need a blank canvas to paper måché your map pieces too. I got mine from goodwill but you can also get them at any craft store.

First:
Cut out each state you want to use. I went for the states I've lived in but you can randomly choose them as well.



















Next:
Organize the pieces how you would like.

















Last:
Mix your glue and water together to glue down your pieces on your canvas!

















And You're done! You have a cute new picture to hang to your liking.







































Hope you all enjoy!

Fall Cleaning

It's time for a major cleaning and down size. I need to get rid of stuff and need a little face lift for my apartment. I guess I'll get started today!












don't judge me by how messy my house is.
