They used to be hand-drawn to scale, from careful measurements of the distances and angles between landmarks. USA and Canada Maps | World Projections | US States | US County | World Countries | World Regions | World Globes Using a bit of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey we gave the entire globe a light wash. All this means is that we mixed a tiny bit of water with a tiny bit of paint and put on LIGHT layers. We wanted a slight grey sheen to the top of the globe so that the surface would be easier to write on… but we didn’t want a solid grey globe. The point of the globe was that it was a GLOBE… not a giant grey orb. We painted the base with a solid paris grey mixture.
I was worried about the whole painting the globe thing (it was so pretty! I didn’t want to screw it up!) but it turned out so good! Even my little brother looked at it when he got home that night, screwed up his face in that way boys get when they’re thinking and went “It looks good, I think this will be easier to sign then before”. Which was impressive since he knew nothing of my internal should-I-paint-my-globe-or-not-list-of-pros-and-cons-debate. He (of course) had been tuning out wedding talk for months at this point.

Apply a quality oil-based primer to the surface with a spray gun or a roller (allow full drying time as stated on paint can instructions).

I love antiques, all things blue and traveling around the globe… so when I found the idea of using non-traditional items for a guest book I knew immediately what I wanted to use. A globe. A REALLY big globe. Not a teeny tiny globe that my guests would have to fight over real-estate on but a big honking one that would blend into my decor at home… while standing out.
