Map Week Day 2: Map Flower Tutorial
Today is Day 2 of Map Week!
In case you missed it here's Map Week Day 1
Map Flower Tutorial!
To make these, you'll need:
- Old maps
- 2 buttons per flower
- Flower wire
- Flower pattern
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Pliers
- Awl (or something to poke holes in the map pieces.)
Follow the same steps in my Newspaper Flower Tutorial
Here are the quick instructions: (See my Newspaper Flower Tutorial for photos and instructions.)
1. Print out the flower pattern.
2. Use the pattern to cut out 2 small flowers and 2 large flowers.
3. Use a pencil to curl up the petals of the 2 small flowers and 1 of the large flowers
4. Stagger the flowers on a pile, so that the petals are between the other petals.
5. Poke 2 holes in the maps in the middle.
6. Bend the floral wire in half.
7. Place a button face up on the floral wire.
8. Place the map pieces on the floral wire.
9. Place the other button under the map flowers.
10. Twist the floral wire. I hold the wire with my pliers and twist by turning the flower.
Make a whole bunch to make a fun bouquet. These would be great at a destination wedding, travel themed party or going away party. Or they make a great decoration for any who loves maps or travel.
These look great in the decoupage jar I made. You can watch my Decoupage Jar Tutorial video and make the jar, too!

Next week is Map Week here on the blog!!
What does that mean?
- New map related jewelry!
- Map related tutorials
- And, a craft-along to make a travel journal!
Each day check in for the next step to make your travel journal. You can do it at night after work. I'm breaking it up into 7 easy steps!
If you want to get your supplies ready this weekend, here's a list of what you'll need to get started for the travel journal :
- paper bags (the small ones are best, but try to recycled what you have around! Or you can purchase a pack of the size you'd use for packing a lunch. You'll need as many as the pages you'll want, and you'll want an even number.)
- tacky glue
- Glue sticks
- Old maps
- Scissors
- Other paper to use to embellish your journal
- Ribbon and other embellishments.
