Painted Maps

First, you need to get something to paint on, like a small canvas. I used the back of a picture frame. you can even just use cardboard. Then, choose your colors and prepare it to paint.

Step 1: Paint It...

Then, paint the canvas.

Step 2: Let Dry...

Let the canvas completely dry.

Step 3: Choose a Place...

Next choose a country, continent, or state. Pull it up on maps, or print it out so you can see it easily.

Step 4: Outline...

Then outline the place you've chosen in pencil, then go over it with Sharpie. You can either leave it as it is, or color it in. I usually color mine in, but I liked this one as just an outline.

Step 5: The Back...

When the front is finished, hot glue a safety pin or paper clip to the back, right in the middle, to hang it up.

Step 6: Finished!

Now it's finished! A super easy way to make custom maps...and I've made lots of them :)
