3 Simple DIY Projects For Your Travel Photos

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed browsing through thousands of travel photos on your phone? I know, because I’m guilty about this too. Sure you can post photo dumps on social media, but that’s too boring isn’t it? I found a fun alternative to commemorate your travel photos. Unleash your creative spirit with these 3 DIY travel mementos to commemorate your trip!

Photobook – I found an online app that can easily turn your travel photos into a curated photobook! It’s so easy to use—just drag and drop—and they have plenty of templates available for you to play with. It’s like making a little storybook of your travels. Put your favorite photos in order, and you’ve got a coffee table gem that lets you relive your adventures without endless scrolling. Plus, it’s a great conversation starter when friends come over.
Instax Photo Album – If you’re into quick and easy, an Instax Photo Album is for you. I bought the Instax mini Liplay here, so I can print whatever photo I have on my phone directly using Bluetooth. Flipping through real photos is so much cooler than swiping on a screen, and you can design it however you like!
Good ol’ Scrapbook Journal – Remember making scrapbooks as a kid? Well, it’s still a thing, at least for me. I use my Instax Liplay to print the photos. I also keep most of my plane tickets and I like collecting stickers for an extra oomph. I use an A5 Blank Canvas Notebook with metal springs. It’s easier to decorate, and you can buy refills online. Here’s Neko Canvas Notebook! Super fun, super easy!

I got into projects like these because I always loved making scrapbooks as a kid. Doing it now lets me enjoy being creative, and the best part? They last longer. You can flip through them, remember good times, and feel a sense of pride. It’s way better than keeping photos on your hard drives. That excitement you get from holding memories in your hands? Priceless. Let your adventures have more than just a digital existence – give them a place on your coffee table, in your hands, and a lasting spot in your heart Here’s to making happy memories, happy travels!
