DIY: Map It! Initial!

DIY: Map It! Initial!

What kid doesn't love to see their initial on their room wall?  I've taken the popular map craze to the letter and added a few fun toy cars for added interest. 
 

MATERIALS:


  • Cardboard Initial
  • Mod Podge and brush
  • Outdated atlas or map
  • Scissors and pencil
  • Small toy cars


INSTRUCTIONS:

Begin by tracing around the entire letter on the map or atlas pages.  If using pages, it is possible you will have to piece the map together.  Make sure to trace around the edges of the letter too.



 Here are my front and side pieces all cut

 

Starting on the side, apply a generous amount of Mod Podge
 

 


Place one of the cut side pieces and smooth on the edges. Continue until all the edges are covered.



Using the same method, apply the front map pages to cover the letter



Apply a layer of Mod Pdge to the entire letter, using your fingers to smooth out any wrinkles



Glue on your toy cars using hot glue



I always use 3M Command stips to hang these letters.  Easy!



Hang on the nearest wall for you...and your kids enjoyment!
