Old maps are great for use in many projects such as covering cardboard boxes, adding them to glass coasters, covering books, trays, etc. Just decoupage or glue them to projects. If you have maps indicating a specific area, they can make a nice personal gift for someone by cutting out the "city" and gluing it to a flat marble (just a conversation piece).
They can also be cut into pieces to make a puzzle for kids learning about geography!
