At Christmas time when I was making all of the Framed LDS Temple pictures, a neighbor of mine asked me if I could build her a frame for a poster of a map that she had. She came up with the idea of putting it on cork so that her son could put in pins in the places he wanted to go. I LOVED that idea!
I picked up a cork board at walmart and just pulled off the basic frame on it. We wrapped the poster around it and put on masking tape to hold it in place.
Then we just used a staple gun to attach it to the frame that we built.
Easy Peasy and such a cool gift for a kid who is really into geography!

love anything with maps, and doing something like this to pinpoint where we've been is on my list. great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love the cork board for pinning places. We just found a coloring map at Dollar Tree my boys colored. We put it up in there room and they LOVE it. Maps are so great for decorating and learning. Thanks so much for sharing. Visiting from blissfulroots.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to do something similar to post pins where all our friends are from and where we've traveled. :D

that's awesome. I've always wanted to have a map that I could pin all the places I've been on and attaching it to a corkboard is a great way to do that!
