Maptastic



Lets go Moerkabout

I am a fan of vintage maps. 
Up until 4.30pm yesterday, I didn't have any decorating my house.
That is until I whipped up this baby.

I often look at pictures like these and marvel at the colours.



It takes me back to my schools days.
Hours spent pouring over the Jacaranda Atlas..



Some of the colours are so pretty.



There is an easy to follow tutorial over here at Skimbaco showing you how to make the map vase.




You don't need a tutorial for my garland.

Just cut out a bunch of circles.

Whiz them up on your trusty sewing machine.

Wrap them around a globe like object. ( I will tell you more about the globe in a later post).

Or dangle them from your chalkboard.....





If you wouldn't mind popping back tomorrow.
Miss B is doing a special tutorial post for her school passion project.
She gets to make something,
tell us how she did it and then she will show the blog to her class on the electronic whiteboard.
How good is that!

I would really appreciate it if you could show her some blog love.
