Who doesn’t love maps decoupaged to everything? Here are 22 unique map crafts using Mod Podge to inspire you – and to decorate your home.

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?
