Map It Out
In my wanderings I have found some very creative uses of maps...
 |
| Marcelle Crosby on Etsy |
...folded into a tiny dress as a charming wall decoration in a young girls' room.
 |
| Rifle Paper Co. |
...as an enchanting way to tell the story of a bride and groom (and a great piece of art for the couple).
 |
| DLK Designs on Etsy |
...as cuff links or charms to remember a special place.
 |
| Savannah Jacks on Etsy |
...using nautical charts to create a custom platter.
 |
| Martha Stewart Weddings |
...as uniquely matted frames for photos from your travels...this is an easy DIY by simply covering a plain mat with a map of your favorite destination.
 |
| Cavallini Wrapping Paper - Paris Monuments (20x28 inches) by Paper Source |
...as wrapping paper (I used the above paper to wrap plane tickets to Paris for my daughter's high school graduation gift)...recycled old maps make excellent wrapping paper as well.
 |
| Cavallini Wrapping Paper - London (20x28 inches) by Paper Source |
...or even framed as inexpensive art...wouldn't this London wrapping paper be amazing framed in a boy's room? Each sheet is only $3.95!
Any of the Cavallini papers would be good for making the DIY frames above, as well.
Have you done anything special with maps? I would love to hear more!!
