These world maps have such great patterns of lines and color spots and they are just to cool to throw away. I am sure everyone has lots of them, and could use some ideas to get rid of them ... Or let us say: to repurpose them!
So I browsed through Etsy for some ideas.
I could use them in my jewelry or make cool gift tags for my packaging, too many possibilities, now what to choose????
Click on the pics to go to the shops and find out about the prices, all these handmade goodies are perfect for an original gift (father's day for instance...)

Great post - I really liked that Atlas bowl, among other things. The cuff links were really cool as well. You've had some really good ideas with upcycling your father's maps. I'm sure he would be proud.
I love maps so I love all these finds!
All the ideas are great !! Maps especially old ones are giving you many possibilities for beautiful creations !!
I heart maps! I love this post & think you found so many claver map-items!
I love map-jewelry, and everything with maps! Please, make me a bangle with maps :-) You could make Hungary and Belgium neigbouring countries :-)
So cool these maps!
All these items made with maps are great gift ideas! I can't wait to see what lovely things you make with yours!
A map makes me instantly curious--I want to know where I am, and I love all these items--fantastic post!
Great! Maps are indeed beautiful supplies.
Why don't you make paper beads again? Let you inspire by the colours, the culture, the materials, the scents .... of the piece of map you're using.
great picks ! I love maps too
