C.R.A.F.T. #52: 10 Travel Treasures

June 25, 2010 By Jamie Dorobek 10 Comments

vacation time is h e r e 🙂
vacation/travel/ living abroad memories?
I like to find/ make something to remember…
 
here are some of my ideas:
 
#1: Collect coral
on the beach and put it in a lovely vase from Good Will!
#2: Ask the locals where to find a good flea 
market/dirt markets and buy a piece of art from your travels…these cost $2.00 each in China
#3: Find something neat 
and put it in a shadow box!
#4: Make an altered book…
#5: Collect post cards 
from your travels and frame them all together!
 #6: Collect t-shirts from your travels and make a t-shirt quilt!
 
#7: Buy an original piece of jewelry 
every time you travel… unique, usable, and fun 🙂

#8: Collect pictures 
of a specific item on your travels…trees/flowers/street vendors/markets

 

[the next 2 are not my original ideas…but I like ’em]

#9: collect sand/ dirt/ rocks
from travels and put in an empty spice container with a simple label
#10: vacation rocks
…all you need is a rock and a sharpie!
Check out this post for more travel collection ideas… Summer time is here!

    I have a huge collection of rocks written on with sharpie of where I collected – I need an idea of how to display, they are just sitting in a box! Ideas on that?

    Something about the dirt in jars trips my trigger…also like the rocks with words on them…

    My daughter is always collecting rocks from places we go – I like the rock idea. 🙂

    I also like to collect Christmas tree ornaments from trips. I have a few from my honeymoon that I enjoy putting on the tree every year.

    I love your ideas of saving the sand from vacations. So great to see how many color variations there are to sand!

    These are all great ideas! We spend a week at the Oregon coast each year and bring home stuff for the house every time. I'll be using some of your projects for sure! Very clever.
