DIY Heart Frame {A Guest Post}

Howdy Life, Love & Pinterest Fans!  I'm Rachel and I blog over at Can't Google Everything!
Since it's Heather's birthday week I wanted to help her celebrate by sharing a fun and easy craft with you guys that you can make for someone special for their birthday, anniversary or other holiday!  I found this idea on pinterest and decided to make it for my husband for Valentine's Day last year!
Pinterest Version:
So there wasn't much with the pin as far as directions go so I kind of made up my own!  Here is my version:
I picked out 6 places that are meaningful to me and my husband, but you could really do any amount with this idea!  You could even do just one big one for your wedding or something!
First step- I found the places I wanted on google maps and printed out the maps on nice paper.
Step two- I took a heart stencil and traced it around my places so all the hearts would be the same size.  Cut them carefully and erased any pencil marks!
Step three- Glue the hearts onto nice paper and then add the captions!  I printed the words on on nice paper but they aren't perfectly even!  I used craft studs to keep them in place on the background paper.
And there you have it!
I think this is an easy and cute gift for anyone you want to shower with love or even to give a couple for a wedding gift with spots that are meaningful to them!  There are really so many uses for maps!
I hope you enjoyed my easy DIY!
