Vacation Memory Box

Everyone saves little momentos from their vacations. Whether it's a big vacation in a faraway place, or a little vacation nearby, there are always photos and trinkets lovingly collected. Instead of putting them away never to be seen again, this is a clever way to display them and keep the memories close by.

What You’ll Need

hinged box or any box with a cover (sturdy shoe box works)
plain paper
patterned paper, such as gift wrapper or scrapbooking paper
glue
scissors
markers
summer photos

Instructions

1. Cover the box with plain, unpatterned paper. Then glue patterned paper on top of the plain paper. This will help cover any original prints on the box.
2. Glue photos on the cover and sides of the box. You could copy your photos on a color copier if you choose not to glue your original pictures on the box.
3. Write with markers on the box cover; the child's name, year, vacation spot, and any other trivia you might want.
4. Put summer momentos inside the box.
