Oh the places you’ll go!

At long last I've framed and hung my vintage US Map.  I love the way it turned out! It was much harder to attach the cork to the frame than I expected, it took a few attempts and methods to get it right; but at long last it is hanging on the wall.  I still need to get map pins, right now I'm using quilt pins I had laying around.

Hey Leigh,

Love your vintage map project! It looks just like one we made last year:

Isn't it a small world?! Good thing we're both tracking ourselves as we globetrot! Here's hoping we can add a lot more pins in the future:)

I am trying to attempt this craft project. Where did you get your cork backing and how did you get it to attach to the frame?? Thanks!!
