Decoupage Chair Covered with Maps

This map chair will be such a beautiful addition to your home! Use maps of your favorite places – so easy to do with Mod Podge.

Okay, I’m going to be the first to admit that it doesn’t say that this cool map chair was made with Mod Podge – in fact, it was a thrift store find.

The point is that you COULD make it with Mod Podge, and you could do it very easily. I love decoupage furniture with maps, and I want either a dresser or chair with them Mod Podged on top in my next place. Yay!

This would be a great idea for an office space or a themed study area. Is there something you want to freshen up for back to school? This is a great project to try.

Even though no instructions were provided in the original post, I’m happy to provide a tutorial below. If you want to decoupage a chair with maps, use this to do it.
