Who doesn’t love maps decoupaged to everything? Here are 20+ unique map crafts using Mod Podge to inspire you – and to decorate your home.

22 Mod Podge Map Crafts You'll Have to Try!

I said it recently in the Mod Podge Rocks Facebook group and I’ll say it again here – we should all be decoupaging maps to everything. Okay, maybe that’s not such a great idea, but I really love Mod Podge map crafts. Aren’t they awesome?

When I first started thinking about putting together a collection of decoupaged map projects, I didn’t realize that I would find so many. I was pleasantly surprised.

Scroll down to see 22 awesome projects using maps, and I think you are going to love all of them.
