words to live by - map wall art!

i'm pretty obsessed with 30 rock. i want to be best friends with liz lemon. better yet, tina fey. we could be best friends. we could!

this project is definitely lemon inspired. "i want to go to there" is usually uttered not re: a place, but (as joselyn so aptly put it) re: jon hamm. and i honestly couldn't agree more. still, the quote looks nice on a map, so here's some super cheap fairly fun wall art:


did i mention travel is among my other obsessions? 

you should obsess too:


1. get yourself a map. cut out some letters.


2. iron the map. paint the backs of the letters with rubber cement. make sure the cement is slightly damp (not completely dry, not adhere to your fingers wet). stick those suckers on your map.


3. paint over those layers - make sure not to peel back the letters with your brush. also, you may want to put something underneath your map to protect your work surface (i.e. craft paper).



i painted thinly so that the map would show through. you could spray paint to get a thicker layer if that makes you happy.


4. let dry, peel off letters.
