BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I ran across this on FB. It's a combination of someone taking the instructions for creating a "sweet tooth pouch" (found HERE) and using Disney park maps instead... https://www.facebook.com/chipandco/photos/pcb.10153560225388417/10153560223258417/?type=1&theater Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I may have to stock up on park maps this fall just to try this. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littleolwoman.aka.Kristie 119 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I may have to stock up on park maps this fall just to try this. :)I was thinking the same thing. Speaking of maps, they moved all the maps to a few carts on wheels. Yhey no longer line the wall of the tunnel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 More fun with park maps! These are for sale on Etsy, but I'm betting some of you crafty folks can figure out how to make them. If you do, please share your pics. :) https://www.etsy.com/listing/235041503/walt-disney-world-magic-kingdom-map?ref=shop_home_feat_2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I hope that all of you crafty folks enjoy this while you can. At some point, Disney will have to stop printing these maps, as they aren't printing them so Etsy folks can swipe them and make them into do-dads to sell on the internet.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I've got Park maps from pretty much every trip. At some point they're either going to get turned into something fun or hit the recycling pile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CJHokie 43 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I found some old maps here and have the iron-on vinyl. That's next on my list after I finish my current project! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CJHokie 43 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 As promised, here are the pics from trying this. I wish I could make them smaller, but I'm not seeing how right now. (My notes are just an added bonus! ) 1) I think the maps are from 2004! Pretty sure we went that year, and MK one says "Soarin' coming in 2005".2) I used MK and MGM/HS. Was a tough choice, but EC and MK were weirdly shaped. I may still make another, bigger one with those.3) Would've made a bigger one, but that was the biggest zipper I had on hand. It is propped against my iPad mini for some perspective. I should've put a little loop for a key ring or lobster clasp to attach to a bag or shorts.4) The iron-on vinyl worked well on the 1st one, but the 2nd one got a little bubbly, so I guess the iron got too hot. (I used a teflon pressing sheet between the iron and the vinyl.) It was pretty smooth looking until...5) the incredibly hard step of turning right side out. You can see how wrinkly that made it. The original sweet tooth pouch maker said to leave a bigger hole in the lining for the turning, and she wasn't kidding. It is really hard to work with vinyl covered paper. I would advise leaving the whole bottom undone before turning.6) I would also advise top stitching the liner beside the zipper before sewing up the pouch. My liner kept getting zipped up, so as you can see in the pic, I did a not so great looking stitch after the fact. 7) I was reading on Pinterest that you can make your own laminated fabric just by using the iron-on vinyl, so I tried it out on a scrap of the liner fabric. That turned out fantastic! I may make a waterproof pouch with that instead of more maps/paper.I think that's it! BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
