Hello friends! Today I am going to show you how to make a scratch map for travellers.


The materials we need are:

  • 1 A3 World Map
  • Transparent auto-adhesive paper (contact paper)
  • 1 Birthday candle
  • Dishwasher
  • Acrylic paint
  • Brush

The Map

The first thing we are going to do is download and print the map...

The Contact Paper

Then we will paste the transparent contact paper on the map ensuring that there are no air bubbles (we can help with a ruler)

The Birthday Candle

Then we will pass the candle over the whole continental part of the map

Let´s Paint!

Then proceed to mix 2 parts of acrylic paint (the color is optional) with a part of dishwasher on all the countries, avoiding to paint the white outline between them. Then let dry to apply another coat of paint later.
