I have been dying to make one of these for awhile now.
It’s bookmarked with all the rest of zillions of DIY posts that I find across the internet… I’m sort of a DIY junkie.
There’s just something to be said for making things from scratch, and I love the homemade quality of decorating. Paired with anything vintage, it just makes the energy of a room so… home-y. And cozy.
I recently took on cleaning out and re-decorating my bedroom, and realized that it was the perfect opportunity to make a dent in my saved craft list.
So I pulled a world map out of one of our atlases, and got to work. With this project in mind, I bought a couple of cork squares at a craft store a couple of weeks ago.
I glued them together, and then glued the map on top of it.
Simple!
And now, the fun part:
The clear pins are where I’ve been, and the colored pins are where I am dying to go sometime in my life.
Obviously, I plan on doing a lot of traveling.
Does this have vital function in my life? Obviously not. But sometimes it’s important to have things just because. Isn’t that what inspiration’s all about?
This is such a great idea & a great reminder that traveling is important. I have the travel bug bad, and honestly, I’d just love to travel/work around for a year after college. I am dyinggg to go to New Zealand!
New Zealand is on my list too! But I would love love love to spend the year after college working in Paris!
