I hope your weekend was fabulous!
This week, it's all about maps on my blog.
I admit to still using maps, especially when visiting a new city. They're very useful to find your way or discover a new landmark. But when you're done with them, what do you do? Turn them from blah to TADA! of course!
Here are a few talented folks who did just that and are selling them on Etsy:
A matchbook wrapped in an old map and the matchsticks
are trimmed to mimic a city skyline!
Old maps crafted into romantic roses.
Vintage map inspired throw pillows
If you love a city, I don't see why you can't wear it
as a belt buckle.
Or you can wear them as cuff links, too!
A map can also be laminated and
sewn into a bag.
Aren't these ideas terrific? Stop by this week and let's see what else we can do with maps. Have a nice day!
