We are taking a break from posting about our trip to Japan to post about a project we just finished. We have always wanted some sort of map to hang on the wall and got this idea from pinterest. We bought some canvas at Joann's, bought a map on line, and cut the map into three pieces to wrap around the canvas. We then modpodged over the map to give it a shine and put map pins in all the places we have been to or lived (both individually and as a couple).The white pins are where Alex has been, the black pins are where I have been, and the red is where we have been together. Below are pictures of some of the steps, along with the finished project. All pictures were taken with our Nikon J1.
