Indig Tips (4)
If the glove compartment in your car is too cluttered, you can use your car maps to make a decorative collage. Make a six-sided card in stiff cardboard (all sides equally long) and use that as a model. Use the model and a scalpel to cut identical six-sided pieces from the maps, centered on the destinations that you have always wanted to go to.
Sort the pieces from the maps according to colour and pattern. Then paste them closely together on a coloured paper (A 3). Watch out so that the glue does not spill and discolour the map cuttings.
You will now have a nicely patterned collage that is equally decorative in the kitchen or in the entrance, and a clean uncluttered glove compartment in the car.
This is also a great way to recycle old diplomas and certificates.

What a lovely idea! The hexagon shape gets my creative juices flowing!!! :) You know, France is often called the hexagon! I will make a collage with Paris in the middle, with a red, white and blue frame. Cool, huh! Do you think the Loire valley will fit in one single hexagon?
Mercy beaucop!

Thanks for your nice words, Jane, I hope that you will send us a picture of your French collage when it is finished!
Regarding the Loire: if your map is too detailed it may be a bit tricky to fit it into one hexagon. The easiest thing is perhaps to measure the length of the river and make a model that is sufficiently big (six sides of equal lenght), then cut out the piece you need, scan it, then reduce the scale on the computer to the size you need and then print the image on a colour printer and cut it out again. I'm sure the result will be worth your effort!
