These ornaments are simple to make, pretty, and well-suited to personalization. Make one for your parents to commemorate their recent trip to Rome, for your sister for her destination wedding in Mexico, or for yourself for the new city you moved to in 2012.
And there are lots of possibilities for this ornament, even without maps — you could use anything from lovely vintage stationary to Yuzen paper.

I love maps and enjoy creative uses for them. I think I'll make these to commemorate my favorite trips and all the places I've lived. I have a metallic silver tree vintage 1965 that these would look great on.
