Beautiful, but boy is it a pain to put up!
This World Map Wall Art is absolutely gorgeous and super cool looking once you get it up! My 9 year old son is super into geography so I thought this would be a cool decoration/educational piece. And it’s definitely all that I expected and more! It really does look awesome!<br /><br />That being said, this is a pain in the buttocks to put up! It’s basically like building a puzzle on your wall, but without any way to make sure it’s at the right angle, nor a way to know if it is spaced correctly. And since you have to add sticky tape that is included to every single piece… I was so over it by the time I finished like 6 hours later with a few small breaks in between. It was legit a whole day project!<br /><br />A few suggestions, lay this completely out on the ground with the spacing and angle you think it should be. Then step back and look at it as a whole to make sure it looks spaced correctly and the angles all same correct. You can even measure the spacing on the ground and then measure out and pencil mark a few spots on the wall I still had to take multiple pieces off the wall and move them even though I did do this! But it definitely helped. Also while putting this up step back frequently to see how it looks so far.<br /><br />The second tip I have is go buy some different adhesive than the stuff that comes with the package. I got some for about $15 bucks after checking out the stuff that came with this a few days before I put it up. The stuff that comes with this is hard to separate, so you spend nearly a minute every time you need a piece trying to get off the backing. It did stick well, it’s just irritatingly hard to separate.<br /><br />Overall absolutely gorgeous, but migraine inducing to get up!
