D.I.Y Framing Maps


A lazy Sunday morning D.I.Y became a full day project when I found some old maps around the house and they were seriously out of date. I just happened to have some A4 frames lying around which I was going to fill with family holiday photos but never got around to printing them. I decided to frame some of the places I love visiting in New Zealand and added subtle message representing my emotional attachment to the place.

Supplies: Photo frames, maps, craftknife/scalpel, glue, ruler, cutting mat and some paper
Select a part of the map that will go into the frame, you might need to piece some parts together.
Sketch the message and cut out carefully. 
Make sure the words are not too close to the edge of the map as it will be covered by the edge frame.
Using the back of the frame to cut 2 pieces of white paper, one for the edge frame and one for the map backing.
Now just put it all together.
