I fell in love with these latitude and longitude signs from the L. L. Bean catalogue and knew that I could make my own version. I couldn’t figure out how to get the text to curve in Toronto, but that’s a minor detail.
If you would like to make your own, I found a website that allows you to type in your city and state and it will give you the coordinates. Go to Satellite Signals to get them. How cool is that!
I used vinyl and cut out the lettering with my cricut. The font is Garamond. I really wish I had a better camera because some weird colours are showing up that are NOT on my sign LOL
Here is my inspiration
