How to Make a Push Pin Travel Map

There is a variety of world map canvases for you to choose from. They vary in terms of size, color, and design. All you need to do is buy the color and size that suits your taste and home décor. If your living room walls are painted in bright colors, then a dull-colored canvas map can be a great addition. As for the sizes, you can get any size of your choice, ranging from 20 to 80 inches.

After purchasing the map, you will have the option of adding personalized text whenever appropriate. The text can be anything from a religious quote, your favorite music line, or even a quote from your favorite philosopher. Just be sure to choose the one that accurately describes your home, your travels, and your personality.

And now the most important part: using colorful push pins to mark off important places on the map. For optimal results, you will need three different colors for your pushpins: one color to mark where you have already vacationed, a different color for the places you’ve lived, and a third color to mark where you are dreaming of going. Keep the color scheme as consistent as possible in order to make the map readable.

Putting the push pins on the map can be a tedious process, particularly when done on the wall, so the best approach is to do it on the floor or a big table and then hang it after most of the pins are already well in place.
