Bright Ideas for Maps

There are so many creative ways to use vintage maps.  

I thought I'd share a few lighting projects with you today.

Check out this gorgeous light!  

You can find a tutorial showing how to make it at Paisley Sprouts.

This light created from old maps by Umbu is stunning!

There's a fun lamp tutorial at Modge Podge Rocks.

Although this pendant light is globe cut in half,
you could definitely decoupage a plain metal one with maps instead.
