With everyone enjoying their summer vacations and visiting great places, I thought it would be fun to show a simple DIY project that allows you to keep all vacation memories in one place. 2 summers ago, my boyfriend, his mother and I backpacked around france and italy.
Along the way I gather lots of little maps, photos and little printed pieces from each city. When I got home I didn’t know what to do with everything and didn’t want to use a standard photo album. I wanted the material to be tangible so people could interact with it. I decided to make a travel box that would be wrapped in city maps from Paris, Venice, Florence and Rome. Within the box, I created envelopes for each city that would house all the printed photos from those areas. (I had 4 envelopes total) The box also allowed me to loosely keep all the other items I collected along the way.
I’m very pleased with the result and now I have a unique way to show others our trip. I feel it brings the experience to life and feels a little more authentic.
