While I am away, and basking in the sun, I leave you with these clever ideas and a blog hop:
I am joining Ann from Apple Street Cottage who hosts a group of clever bloggers 6 times a year for Do It Over Designers.
I am sharing a few ways to use old school maps or travel maps.
My first idea is to simply frame a map for a child's bedroom. This will encourage them to see other countries are located and realize how large our world is!
I had an old black frame and I simply stapled the map around the frame. Hobby Lobby often sells frames that might have a damage corner, or a small crack, for little money, and would be perfect for this idea. I used an old school map which was vinyl and easy to attach!
This is an old school chair, very sturdy, but the seat was worn and scratched.
Using Mod Podge, a map can be applied to update a desk chair for your home office:
Using the same procedure, I covered a damaged leather top wine table with a local paper map:
One of my favorite things to do with vacation town maps is to use them as gift wrap paper!
Another idea is to use a map to create an envelope:
Just take apart and envelope and use it as a pattern....
...and glue or tape it back together!
Attach a mailing label for the address:
You can also create gift bags in the same manner:
Thanks, Ann, for hosting Do It Over Designers!
