TURN YOUR MEMORIES
INTO DÉCOR
Don’t let your photos sit on your phone! Take your favourite memories and bring them into your home by turning them into decorative pieces that start conversations and remind you of your best days.
Photo Walls
A classic way to display photos. Go beyond one or two on the mantlepiece and dedicate a wall in your house to create a gallery of memories. Choose a variety of sizes to fill the space, and don’t be afraid to mix-and-match frames. If your home tends towards neutral tones, this could be a great opportunity to add pops of colour!
Shadow Boxes
Shadow boxes are great for souvenir displays, giving you a reason for holding on to ticket stubs, foreign coins, and museum maps! Use some strong glue and gather some meaningful items from your travels – maps, postcards, train tickets, or any other small items you may have collected. Other ideas for shadow boxes can include life events like weddings, graduations, and funeral memorials.
Fridge Magnets
We’re always opening our fridges, so display your favourite moments on yours! Souvenir magnets are an obvious choice, but you can go a step further and create

your own magnets using your own photos. You can find magnet sheets at your local craft stores, stationery stores, as well as online. Simply print out your photo, glue it to the sheet, and cut to size.
Memory jar
Mason jars are a popular trend for home décor, so the next time you have a spare jar, consider turning it into a decoration to commemorate a special day by filling it with knick-knacks and mementos. Beach days are a popular option; pour in some sand, seashells, and a photo.
