Love Map - A Tutorial

I have been receiving many requests on how I made the Love Map.

So here is a quick run down.

This is the frame that I started with. 

(smaller version of this tut)

I had a old frame & sanded it back

I really wanted to paint it white, but didn't have any at home & I really HAD to make this right away.

So I actually used Zac's paint. 

I used some paper towel and rubbed it back to give it a little texture.

I was going to use the insert that comes with the frame, but the shape was wrong, so i decided to the use the white backing paper that comes with the frame. (image below) Just make sure the picture doesn't show through.

I found my 3 pages & ripped them out, then on another map or plain paper. I freehand stretched one half of a love heart. 

 Cut it out

 Folded, traced & cut around the heart

 With the maps I intended on using I placed the heart over the exact spot where "we met". I tried to place it in the centre of the heart.

I traced & cut in the inside of the pen line.

Pasted all three hearts on the white paper evenly. 
Used Scrap booking letters for the wording.

Put glass over the top.

Hang & Enjoy!!

Better go cross another one off my list
