Yesterday was spent cutting up an old road atlas of France. The purpose of this was to line my new glasses cupboard in my kitchen.
I love the look of maps and I justified cutting up the atlas because,
1- Its dated 1993.
2 - We don't own a car anymore.
3 - We certainly won't be doing a walking tour of France in the near future!
I cut out the shapes and stuck it all down with a light spray of display mount.
I was so pleased with the result that I moved onto my dresser and that was mapped too!
Et voila!

like it!
Can I suggest a coat of waterbased varnish over the top - to preserve it?
Yes most probably a wise move!
I also love maps, and I LOVE this idea. It looks so pretty. You are so clever and I wish I had your energy!
You are so clever!
Thanks Janine x
Just like you Makey Vicky - knitting genius!
Beautiful... I love this. A simple and effective idea... I just adore those colours too. xxxx
I know map colours are lovely. I would love to do something with doilies now. X
