Not sure what to do with the trinkets you brought home from your summer vacation? Here are a few ideas on how to incorporate your travel souvenirs into your home decor, so you can enjoy memories of your greatest adventures all year long!

Got it? Frame it! Create a mismatched and chic gallery wall by framing photos, postcards, ticket stubs, brochures, maps, and knick knacks in a variety of sizes and shapes.

Are you a collector of coins or ticket stubs? Put them all together in a massive collage to create a unique art piece for your wall.
