DIY: World Map

ps-Map
It seems I have been bitten by the DIY bug lately and been all about making decorations for our home. Being a new graduate and freelancing doesn’t leave too much in my pocket to spend on decorations. So I have turned to Pinterest for help and have found that their is something special about making something yourself and saying “I made that!”. Needless to say, you may be seeing more home decor DIYs in the near future. This by far was the easiest and funnest DIY project I have done yet!

Dése que empece a vivir en mi nuevo lugar e querido decora toda las casa pero acabando de salir de la escuela y empezando a trabajar tu primer trabajo no siempre te deja mucho dinero para compra decoraciones. Entonces lo mejor que se puede hacer es ser los yo misma en casa por casi nada o muy barato. Esta idea claro lo agarre de Pinterest y fue el proyecto mas facil que hecho hasta ahora!

1. Select a map image, I used this map image
2. Open it in Photoshop and add the font you like in a light grey color
3. Take it to the nearest print shop and have them print it in their black and white printer. If it’s printed in any other printer it will cost you more.

I printed mine the size 24×36 and it cost me about $5

1. Encuentra tu imagen yo use esta mapa
2. Crea las letras que te gustan en color gris en Photoshot sobre la mapa
3. Imprime lo en la tienda, pide que lo hagan en su impresora color blanco y negro, si no te costara mas.

Yo imprime el mio por cerca de $5 en la medida 24×36

You will need a black sharpie and a metallic gold paint marker, I got mine for about $3 at Michael’s.
Necesitarás un sharpie color negro y un metallic gold paint marcado, solo me costo $3 en Michael’s.

 Use the black sharpie to color in the few white spots the printer didn’t completely fill.
Usa el marcador negro para llenar las partes que la impresora no lleno.

Begin to fill in the lettering with the gold metallic marker or color of your choice, this part takes the longest so be patient.
Llena las letras con tu marcador de color oro o el color que prefieres, esta parte es la mas largar entonces ten paciencia.

And you are done, just find a frame, hang it up and start getting all the complements when your friends come over!
Y eso es todo, ahora compra un cuadro, cuelga lo y disfruta los comentarios de tus amigos cuando viene a tu casa y se dan cuenta que tu lo hiciste!
