  Step 1

  Make sure that your bag has a flat area on which to place your map. I had to remove a bunch of plastic buckles and straps from mine to achieve this, so don’t let that put you off!

• 

  Step 2

  Cut out the size and shape of the area on which you want your map from the leather or faux leather (mine was in two sections, so I had two pieces of faux leather, which I painted with a base paint of acrylic paint first, though this isn’t completely necessary).

• Step 3

  Print out your map image. (I just did this on normal printer paper at the print shop down the road!)

• Step 4

  Modge-Podge your map onto the leather or faux leather, ensuring that it is completely stuck down and secured.

• Step 5

  Cover the map in another layer of Mod-Podge and wait for it to dry completely.

• 

  Step 6

  Sew the leather or faux leather onto the backpack, covering the appropriate section.
