Florida Links
Supersleuths, you can make your own treasure map paper by following these easy steps. First, tear the edges off an oversized piece of white paper, then crumple it into a ball. Next, smooth it back out and place it on a cookie sheet. Pour tea or coffee over the entire paper and wait about five minutes. Pour off the excess liquid and dry the paper with a blow dryer. Just be careful handling the wet paper or it will tear! After you draw your map on the finished paper, roll it up and tie it with a string.
