Framing Maps

• You can frame one map or cut one map into equal pieces and frame them separately.

• It is really important to have a sharp knife for cutting the maps to fit the frames. Take care of your craft tools. If they do become dull, replace the blade. If you cut with too much force, you can end up hurting yourself.

• Decide on your wall composition. Decor is a personal choice. You can hang them in two groups of three (three on top and three below).

• You could try a group of six (vertically or horizontally).

• Or, you could try hanging two larger prints in the middle of the six framed prints (figure A).
