I love the “Favorite Map Panel but cannot find the written instructions. Please help me.
Hope this will help Mary Jo, cut out the map of the state or country you’d like to use then place the big headed pins around it. Once you’ve covered all the area, put several pins in the middle to form the heart. Once that’s all set, gently remove the map. Get your string out and start at the end. Carefully tie the end of the string and start wrapping the string from the edge towards the pin on the heart that you’ve made in the middle. It would be best to divide the number of pins you used to make the heart with the pins you have at the edge so you can evenly space out the string when you wrap them. Once you’ve gone through all the pins in the edges, carefully tie the end of your string to the last pin. On the tutorial, they painted it after they’ve made the string map but you can also try to paint the panel first before making it. Hope this helps!
I would love to do the map one for my man and my own hometowns, but it won’t work for either. His is the Hamptons of NY and mine is the Outer Banks of NY. Both little islands off the coast of the state. It’s really cute idea though and I love it.
