Totally bunted dudes!



One old atlas



a few metres (or 20) of bias tape and some sewing



equals instant (kind of) library decoration.

  2. Yippee thank you! I knew I was saving those old maps for a good reason...now I know what to do with them. Spewing though when I see your funky dressmakers dummy, because it reminds me of the one I didnt buy when I was unemployed post uni. postcard in the mail as per directions.

  5. *sigh* those kids are all going to get sick trying to find out where the maps join up. You'll have to remind them to keep looking out the window.

  9. V cool. I had a collection of old national geographic maps that i used to cover (ripped up and glued) a small book case. It looks really pretty because maps are so pretty.

  25. We have an atlas, it's amazing how many things have changed since 1989, so it's a bit out of date now. Leningrad is St Petersburg again and East and West Germany are like the same country...

    Oh, and I try to avoid paper-craft, too. It is a bit of a struggle from time to time though.
