Map of hometown on Initial

How to put a map of your hometown on a initial! 

Materials you will need: 

Map (mine is from circa 1988!!) 

Paint for the sides* it is optional  

X-acto knife to trim the sides

Scissors 

Wood letter (I got mine from Jo-ann)

Mod podge 

Step 1: Paint the sides of your wood letter. (This step is optional.) I used Slate Grey by Americana 

Step 2: Flip you map and wood letter over so the side you want to use is face down. Your wood letter should be backwards at this point. 

Step 3: Align your letter on the paper. I want a specific area of the map on my letter. If that is the same for you double check to make sure your letter matches up before you cut!!

Step 4: Once you have cut out the shape, flip your paper and letter back over. Take mod podge and apply a generous amount on the letter. Work quickly because the mod podge dries quickly.

Step 5: Place your paper over the wood letter and press all the air bubbles out. Let that dry for a couple of minutes

Step 6: Lastly, apply a couple thin coats of mod podge on the top of your letter.
