Ticket Stub Display

Ever since I was young, I always saved tickets from things I saw, visited, or did. I have movie tickets going back to Patch Adams, plane tickets from my third trip to Hawaii in 5th grade, and concert tickets like the Backstreet Boys Millennium Tour! I have them all in a little box and love added a new stack every once in a while after some have accumulated in my wallet and reminiscing about all the incredible times I've had. 

The sad part about them being in a box is that I can't share my collection and have it displayed. How do you display hundreds of plane, movie, museum, theatre, and concert tickets? Well, while killing time while waiting to pick up O from kindergarten, I found a way! This is what I made:

 I purchased a shadowbox frame from IKEA, added some cute scrapbook paper, printed and backed the 'admit one' label, added some tickets, and hung it up! Now, this frame only holds about a fifth or what I have and you can't see very many of them but I can mix it up as I please if I find a ticket I'd like to display. This is now hanging in my den and I love how easy it was and how nice it looks!

Another cute way of making your tickets a keepsake is through a ticket stub journal. I have one that got hidden in my last move but it has a slot for your tickets and a place to write memories and who you were with. You can find things like it on amazon or make your own!
