Map Fabric Panel |
While packing and shipping my beautiful map fabric (sold in the GoofingOff shop..sorry, but a girl's got to blow her own horn sometimes) I started thinking about the things that could be made with map fabric. Sure, a person can hem the panel, sew loops on it, and hang it for …you guessed it… a map. Great idea if you are planning to teach far away since it folds up nice and doesn't tear like paper does. Still….there should be more so I looked what other crafty folks are up to and came up with these ideas.
DIY Map Artwork |
Here's an idea from Martha Stewart (or the folks who work with her). These maps are paper but why not use fabric and frame it?
Map Decorator Pillow |
Catherine Holcomb from Mapology, makes these wonderful map pillows. The fabric lends itself well to throw pillows or pillow cases.
Map bunting |
Amy Mahon, from Chezlele, not only makes map pillows but map bunting, too.
Map picnic blanket |
The Domestic Goddess (hail) made this picnic blanket using the map fabric, a vinyl tablecloth, and scraps. Check out her tutorial to learn how she did it.
I'm sure there's a lot of other things to do with the fabric…curtains, shower curtains, tote bag (I love totes…can't stand to use plastic bags). Maybe not a shirt, though…depends how you place the countries…."Er, excuse me, you have Beijing placed over your"…..
