Gorgeous Map Roses

"I love real flowers, but unfortunately they eventually wilt and die. Therefore, I decided I would make some everlasting flowers to decorate my home with. A great way to personalize your crafts and add interest is to use maps. I decided that it would be fun to make my everlasting roses out of old maps. I love how they turned out. The Gorgeous Map Roses look lovely together as a bunch or on their own. They would make a great Mother's Day present. A single map rose also makes a beautiful gift topper."
