We have been making pirate treasure maps with wax seal and ribbon, also the come in a postal tube to add to the feel, and give them something else to decorate!
We drew maps, ripped the edges, stained them with strong black coffee and let them dry. While they dried we decorated the tubes with stickers and our names. Then I burned some edges and used a candle and a foreign coin to make wax seals and stuck on ribbon. We tied them up with more ribbon and put them in tubes, the kids are still playing pirates!
