I won't lie and say it was easy, because it wasn't. I scored some free pallets. Disassembled those with a sawzall, then reconstructed it into the sign.
Then I used my Cameo to cut the map out on vinyl to create a stencil. This sign is large (40"x28") so it was difficult getting it all laid out. Then I painted using the stencil. To ensure the paint didn't bleed under the vinyl, I used a sponge and lightly dabbed the paint on. Too much paint would make the crisp lines run.

How beautiful OP! I think your idea is fabulous but if you don't have the time to finish I know it's great as is!

How did you make this? Any tips?

Like everyone else said.
You did a great job!

Why can't I have friends like you ????

Words and I second the heart idea. But I would also outline the words in whatever color you put the heart in.

Thanks! I'll add the words and see if I can add a gold heart or something over Nicaragua.
Great ideas!! Thanks!

Considering the recipient & meaning if the gift I would absolutely add the words!
If your friend just liked travel I'd do only the map outline.

With the words. What a thoughtful gift! She's going to love it!

Def with words.

I like pps idea too. But I would combine them. Maybe use red or gold and put a heart in Nicaragua?
deleted-user·
I might skip the words and instead paint Nicaragua with a silver or gold color. Subtler, but with meaning.
deleted-user·
I agree, add the words.
