Indicate the place where the treasure is, conventional sign. Optionally, you can encrypt the map - for example, instead of the image of the house to draw a rebus, which will be encrypted word "home".

Carefully anneal the sheet on which the map is drawn, the edges on all sides. Fold the card in several times. Ready!
