never would have thought of this one. A embroidered Map of your trip or vacation


Take a (road) trip down memory lane with this instant art. Hand-stitch the route you took on a vacation, and frame it. You�ll have a gallery of getaways and a reminder to look back fondly on family adventures -- including that time the car broke down.

Materials

Road map
Frame
Embroidery needle
Embroidery thread

Steps

Step 1

Cut the map to fit the frame.
Step 2

Use the needle to poke holes in the map along your route.
Step 3

Sew along the route, using a backstitch: thread needle from the back of the map through the second hole in the route. Then insert needle into the first hole, and pull it back out the third. Continue along route.
Step 4

Embellish the map with an X at your destination.

Sorry Nita, there isn't enough thread to do yours! ha ha
