Map Craft

October 9, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 10 Comments

If you have been following us on Pinterest, you will have noticed that I have been slightly obsessed with Map Craft recently. I love the many and varied ways that maps that been repurposed by crafters to make some stunning pieces of work.

Here are some of my favourites:

Bestoke Heart Map – Bombus

Map Covered Frames by In The Wabe
Map Bouquet by I Do It Yourself

To see more Map Craft, check out our  Map Love Pinterest Board. Have you used maps in a project?
I am hoping to find some time this week to play with an old Atlas from my High School days.

    These are amazing! I saw a feature in Mollie Makes a while ago with map-based loveliness, this reminded me of it and inspired me… stacks of old OS maps needing a new lease of life 🙂 xxx
