Home Decor DIY: Travel Map

We wanted to have a travel map where we could pin the cities we've been to.
However, we couldn't find anything that fits our budget. So a DIY is in order and this only costs about $10.


Materials I used: map, canvas, sponge, antiquing medium, candle and glue.

First, I applied the antiquing medium to both the map and the canvas.

Then, I tore the edges and burned it with a small candle.
As a safety precaution, I did this process outside.

Next, I glued the map to the canvas.
