Map Bookcase

Supplies paint for item, map, mod podge, foam brushes, bowl for mixing mod podge in lots of paper towels

I choose a microwave cart that was ugly. I then sanded it and painted it light blue on the areas that were not going to have maps on it. Let it dry completely for 24 hours.

This is my first attempt with mod podge. I watered it down so as not to rip the map, I first coated the top of the microwave cart then "glued the map to the top". I let it dry completely before going to the next step.

After I glued the map in place and it was completely dry which took 24 hours, I mixed the mod podge 3-1 ratio. I then added a thin coat on top of the map.

I glued the map to the back wall in 2 pieces as there is the shelf dividing it. I laid the cart down to make it easier to attach it. Let it dry 24 hours

The shelf seemed plain so I found a round earth picture with my map and glued that (with the mod podge) to the center. Let dry 24 hours.

Now all maps have been secured I went back and applied the mod podge to each one, allowing 24 hours to dry. I settled on 2 good coats on the shelf and back wall and 3 coats on the top to add durability!
