Have you ever heard of the memories box? As the name suggests, it is a box where it is possible to keep small objects, photographs, tickets, annotations and many other small treasures related to the most precious moments of our life.
There are those who create boxes of memories to relive the emotions of a trip, those who dedicate them to their children by keeping traces of their childhood, and those who use them to keep many other special memories.
There are no precise rules on which box to use: we can give free rein to the imagination, also using simple cardboard boxes that, with a creative touch, turn into real gem for the eyes … and for memory.
Here are some DIY ideas in the name of creative recycling from which to draw inspiration to make yours memories box DIY unique and personal.
Wooden holder box
Do you know the wooden boxes or boxes intended for the transport of wine bottles? If you have one, empty it, clean it and use the internal compartments to organize your memories. You can also add a mini-zacheca in cork where to attack various tickets with the pitcines.
Vintage case
If you want to keep travel memories, nothing better than use a vintage briefcase as “box”. You can renew it with a hand of color, adding internal pockets to keep objects, photos and various tickets in order.
The idea of covering her with old maps or fabric is also nice.
Wooden trunk
If you have a wooden trunk you can transform it in a few moves into a delicious box of memories, where to keep postcards, tickets, photographs and small objects. Since the trunk is of small size, it is ideal to dedicate the box to a specific theme, such as the first years of our children or the most special parties. To make the top box the cute and personal, you can paint it with acrylic colors or decorate it with the decoupage technique.
Biscuits box
The tin biscuits boxes lend themselves to welcome small memories. If they are particularly nice you can leave them intact, otherwise we advise you to decorate them with decoupage by covering the external surface with tissue paper and vinavil glue. The interior can also be covered with the same technique or with remnants of fabric.
