Y’all already know I love maps. And I know a lot of y’all do too! So don’t stop reading before the end of this post. 🙂
Many months ago I wrapped my candles with sheet music. I decided I could use a change. You just need some maps, paper, and tape. Course you can use any type of paper ephemera in place of the maps.
Measure a piece of paper to fit around your candle. Cut the maps to size and tape to a piece of paper.
Wrap around your candle and tape. Easy peasy!!
Gorgeous in 5 minutes! And it does not even have to be perfect (as seen above LOL!).
I really love these black and white maps!! Simple and gorgeous….
So do you love maps?? Then you will want to be HERE on Friday November 5th! I am going to have a MAPTASTIC PARTY!! Come on over and link up your map projects!
I will be posting some more map ideas between now and then. Need maps? I have some listed in my etsy store. I also have tons more, if you are looking for something specific just convo me on etsy or send me an email. I will do my best to get what you need. So be here next Friday for some Maptastic fun!!

October 24, 2010 at 5:49 pmThose are adorable! I love maps, too. We have a large reprint of an antique from Charleston, where we honeymooned. But I honestly don’t remember where it’s at right now. I’m glad you’re having this party – I’m going to go track it down!

October 29, 2010 at 9:24 amThis is another great idea, Angie! I LOVE maps, and this is a great way to incorporate a couple more into your decor!
I’ve made some cool pillar candles by Mod Podging various papers and burlap onto pillar candles. I think maybe I need to try this technique, too! 🙂
