Two small woven bowls made from recycled road maps. Despite made out of folded paper strips, the bowls are surprisingly sturdy.
The technique used is an old traditional Scandinavian basket making techinque.

Thank you for your interest in my map bowls. The only instructions that I have ever come across were in a Danish book that has been out of print for years. I learned making these bowls when I went to school in Denmark 30 years ago. I'll do a search and see if I can find a link with the technique. If not then I'll try to make some basic instructions in the near furture :-)

I have looked allover the net...where ever did you find it!
I want to use it in my craft group! It is full of knitting grannies (nothing wrong with knotting I say) but I want to show them there is more out there for them!
