Thank you for choosing handmade! I can't wait to help design something special for you.

Custom travel themed globes are the perfect way to celebrate and remember all the amazing places you visit in the world. You can combine a piece of home decor with a keepsake of your travels. They're perfect for world travelers, military families, adventurers, and missionaries.

These globes are 12" in diameter and are hand painted with the ocean, continents, and a quote, song lyrics, or Bible verse in the colors of your choice. Pins in the color of your choice are inserted into the destinations you list so you can remember all the fun trips you've taken.

You can choose the option for extra pins so you can continue to add new destinations as you travel.

The continents may be left exposed like in the photos, or you can choose to have them painted before the pins are inserted.

************************************

Please list your preferences for all of the following in the COMMENTS/NOTE TO SELLER section of the order form:

1. Ocean color
2. Continents color (or leave the countries exposed)
3. Base/stand color (gold, silver, rose gold, copper, oil-rubbed bronze, white, and black currently available, or I can find another color if you have one in mind)
4. Lettering color
5. What lettering you want on the globe (Names and wedding date, a quote, song lyrics, a Bible verse, etc. that you want lettered on the globe – 15 words or less looks best on the globes, but longer quotes can sometimes be accommodated if you check with me first to make sure they'll fit)
6. Font layout
7. List of places to mark with pins (if applicable)
8. Color of pins (if applicable – gold, silver, white, and black currently available)

**The pins used to mark the locations you list are included (up to 20 locations), after that there is an extra charge for additional pins. There is an option to increase to 40 pins or 60 pins in the ordering process if you need more to add additional destinations later.**

*************************************

The globe is hand painted with acrylic paint, gold/silver leaf paint, and spray paint, and sealed with a clear coat to protect the paint.

All globes and supplies are sourced in the USA, and we upcycle for sustainability wherever possible.

Many of these globes are vintage or repurposed items, so there may be small imperfections, but overall they are of high quality. Some of the globes may be topographical, so there will be raised portions where the mountains are. Because they are hand painted, there will be brush strokes as there would be on a painted canvas.
