The Letter E ~~Map Style~~

E as in Edna, Eloise, Eileen, Eleanor, Edwina, and Ellen!

 

I started with a 25 cent letter E from the thrift store…traced around it onto a map and cut out the map.

My letter was white so I just glued on the map with Mod Podge…

My tracing didn’t exactly fit my letter (of course!)

So I took some sandpaper and trimmed the edges that way…

Just sanded them off and

even took some of the paint off as well.

The next step was easy…I added a few drops of acrylic paint to the Mod Podge and covered the map.  So you get a white washed look (except with blue of course!). 

I painted the edges with a shade darker blue and it’s all done!

Here is my E wall…I keep adding them as I find them, either thrifted or gifted or found on sale (like the dark blue/turquoise one on the dresser).

Looking pretty good!  The little blue jewelry chest is my latest chalk paint project. 

I love the piggy mama and babies that my niece Ruth gave me…they sit on top of my dresser to keep watch!  They came from Italy!

I may be linking to these great parties!
