Upcycled Road Map Wreath

"I love vintage old road maps, they are often printed on lovely woven paper and come in a variety of wonderful muted colours. I had some road maps that were very green and brown in colour and decided that these would look great as paper leaves. Especially as the roads on the maps looked a bit like the veins on the leaves. I used the maps to make oak leaves. I also used some old brown papers to make acorns to go with the leaves. I then used these leaves and acorns to make a stunning fall wreath for my front door."
