National Geographic Magazines...not only do they have maps, but perhaps other subjects as well~
great idea for the maps I have tons form traveling would be cute to all the places you have traveled....
Instead of maps for coasters....could you use any kind of paper or picture and just put the modge podge over it?
Why can't I save this craft in my collections?
