DIY Polaroid Wall

I love taking polaroids so much, whether it’s when I’m out with my friends or halfway across the world traveling. It’s such a great way to document memories and it looks so cute. But if you’re like me and you’ve taken so many that they can’t even fit in an album anymore, there’s a problem. If you’re looking for a way to proudly show off your adventures, you’ve come to the right place. I came across the idea of a polaroid clothesline online. What you will need: -Clothespins (I like the wooden ones; there’s a nice feel to it) -String -Push pins (preferably clear ones) -Obviously, lots of polaroids!

I don’t know about you, but I love to travel. I love to see new parts of the world and meet people from all walks of life. I’m fortunate enough to have travelled all over the world. I recently stumbled upon a great idea of making a map cork board, where I pin every single place I’ve ever been. It’s such an easy thing to do and every time I see it, I’m reminded of the amazing memories of previous trips. There’s also a huge satisfaction in being able to add another pin to your map after returning from a trip.     What you will need: -Cork board/bulletin board -Map of the World -Map pins (You can find these at Staples or Walmart-I prefer the longer ones) I used a bulletin board that I bought from Staples and I was able to find a stick on map that was the…
