Top 13 Tips for Travel Maps

I love travelling, and I bring back all the maps, flyers, business cards etc from wherever I’ve been.

I do this because I’m SURE I’ll be able to use them all somehow :-)

Here are my Top 13 Tips for Travel Maps after your holiday, many of them will help you remember your travel destination on a daily basis:

wrap gifts in travel maps when you get home
cut travel maps to fit wooden drawer fronts, attach with glue, paint with clear gloss
cover a lampshade by cutting the map in sections to fit
cover books with travel maps
cut up travel maps to make bookmarks, laminate and give as gifts
cover containers (or old tins) with travel maps and use for your pens etc on your desk (paint with clear gloss to protect them)
cut the travel maps in strips and attach to the spines of folders for your bookcase – the map will continue along a series of folders and looks very cool (paint with clear gloss to protect them)
make your own greeting cards with small parts of the travel maps cut up
laminate and display on the wall
buy some inexpensive cork drink coasters, cut travel maps the same size, attach with craft glue, and paint with clear gloss to protect them
cut them the same size as placemats, laminate them and use at mealtimes to remind you of your fabulous travel adventure!
cover shoe boxes or hat boxes with travel maps to give them an exotic adventurous look
make your own postcards – cut to fit postcard-sized heavy paper, attach with craft glue, attach sticky postcard-backs to them

You can do all of these things for your own pleasure, and you can also give them away as gifts to friends, family, co-workers and associates. Receiving something handmade is always greatly appreciated by the person receiving the gift.
