Today I created a colorful world map and this is the tutorial.
I started with a map on google, and used an Exacto knife to cut out the map.
I got my specific paint color ready and created a paint pallet.
Next I cut a sponge into a small square big enough to dab paint with.
I started to dab the sponge in my colors and gently press it on the stencil I had created careful not to let any paint go underneath the paper stencil.
Once I had painted the entire thing, I removed the stencil carefully as to not drag it in the paint.
The finished result is a clean world map. The most time consuming part of the whole project is cutting the template. The painting process from start to end took maybe 5 minutes. I made mine on extra thick posterboard so that it would hold up to the paint and would not fold easily if handled.
