DIY Crafts: 20 Ways to Upcycle a Globe

Upcycle a globe with fun and incredible DIY crafts!

After the Reduce, Reuse, Redecorate: 50 DIY Map Projects for Your Home post, I had map fever! I wanted to cover everything in my home with maps, so I started by covering an old cigar box with a map. Now, I’ve shifted my DIY madness to globes! There’s something so beautiful about globes– their color, their history, their texture, etc. You can find old or vintage globes at thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, and antique stores. You can simply decorate with your globe, or you can do an awesome DIY craft with it!
