DIY Travel Memento Box
If you are the kind of traveler who loves keeping little things as a memento of your recent travel, this DIY travel memento box is for you!
WHAT YOU NEED:
- an empty unused box ( I used an old shoe box for this one)
- an old map ( I used the maps I used as a student before!)
- glue/scotch tapes (any pasting material which works for you is okay)
DIRECTIONS:
- Cover your box with a map. Try to check if your map is enough to cover the whole box. It's alright not to cover the inside of your box with a map. Covering your memento box with a map is a great way to remind you of that wonderful travel! You may use a glue or a tape to cover your box. Any pasting material is fine as long as you have your box covered.
- Decorate your box. Here's the fun part, you are free to put any decorations as you wish on your box. A lettering, a photograph or a small shell will do.
- Fill in your box with the things you treasured the most from your travels. Viola! you have your own travel memento box.
For my box, I decided to decorate it with a photograph of my friend that I took for our travel inspired pictorial. Then I used a DIY bookmark as a frame of her photo. I love how it looked like! What do you think?
Let me know if you want to learn how to make the paper bookmark. I would love to post a DIY tutorial here on my blog for you!
I wrote the words live and travel on the opening side of the box. I think somehow, to travel is to live.
That's it for this quick and easy DIY tutorial. Let me know what you think on the comment section below. Do you guys also keep some things out of your travel?
I hope you always find time to travel, even without going places. :)
love lots,
