Meaningful Craft Ideas

Check out these meaningful craft ideas that will help you preserve your memories. There are many different milestone moments in our life and we need to celebrate them with creative crafts. Pass these memories on to your children and grandchildren in the future. I am sure they would wonder what life was like for you when you were a child or adult now. When your child becomes an adult, they may be calling you to ask for advice, about what to do when they have children themselves.

Our mission is to help you recognize and save what’s meaningful. You have different gifts and talents and you are making a living our of these things, building relationships with friends along the way. Take the time to let your future self and others know how influential they were in your life along the way, all these years.

Listed below are the many different themes to use an “Any Occasion” DIY Time Capsule. Save your precious and sentimental stories, words of wisdom and mementos or memorabilia in these time capsules, according to the different events in your life. These are different page patterns (like scrapbook pages) you can wrap around the outside of this DIY Time Capsule, then fill it in with your favorite, precious photos to decorate it too. This DIY Time Capsule is meant to be displayed somewhere special in your home, at work, or at school.

Sometimes it is intimidating to stare at a blank page, so we wanted to help get your creative juices going with these DIY Time Capsule theme ideas. They sky’s the limit with ideas for this time capsule.

• Contemporary look using the colors from your house. Make this DIY Time Capsule flow with your walls. Maybe even find your same paint color and paint the outside of it, or cut our your baby’s same wallpaper border and wrap it around the time capsule. Be creative, and then just add your photos. Look up what colors, patterns, and accents are trending. Maybe even use Pinterest to gain ideas.
• Create a Classy look to match one of your rooms in your home or business brand. Add black and gold or silver borders on your DIY time capsule on the outside to make your photos stand out. Sometimes less is more. You could even have your initials monogrammed on fabric or nice paper to decorate the outside of this DIY time capsule. Combining rich, soulful colors mixed with black and using scripted fonts with lots of texture can upgrade it to an elegant look.
• A Casual DIY time capsule would consist of background pages with different specific themes (which we will list ideas in our next blog). Make a casual page a comfortable, homey feel with paper background or textures like your old pair of jeans. Also include bright, contrasting colors along with printing off your everyday photos of your home and kids, in a non-intimidating style. Then put these on the outside of the DIY time capsule to decorate it in a scrapbook type page style.

Most importantly, remember to have fun with these meaningful craft ideas. Inside these DIY time capsules, include your handwritten journal pages, letters, or sentimental items you find around your home, work, or school. Then, in 20 years, open this time capsule and reminisce about what life was like back when you made your time capsule. Have friends and family over to help celebrate this important time in your life. Read the “Message to the Future” letters that your friends and family wrote to you years ago during this special event in your life. How touching would that be?
