You need
A shadow box. I snag these whenever I see them in good condition at thrift stores. I know this one says $1.91, but I bought it on a 50% off day! Can't beat a $1 project!
Embellishments. I decided to go with some stickers and scrapbook paper.
Step one: Apply a background to your frame. I used a green paper and glued it to the frame backing
Then add your embellishments.
We don't go to many movies, so I didn't use the "admit one" quote that a lot of people use. Do whatever you want! It's your memory box!
Step Two: Add your memories! I had to restrict ours to tickets and wristbands only to keep it from looking too cluttered.
Step 3: Hang!
Everything got a little shook up when I set the frame down on its side, but I gave it another good shake and got a new pattern!
Here it is, next to our travel map. I love all the memories being in one place.
A lot of tutorials call for cutting a slot in the frame (or buying one that comes with a slot already) I decided to go the easier route and just place them inside and close it up. I knew it would hang in the hall, and I was worried that too much dust would get into the frame if it had an opening on the top. But mostly, it just seemed like too much effort for a small convenience later.
It was such an easy project, I'm annoyed that I didn't get to it earlier! Now I have to go on a hunt to find all the other tickets we wanted to keep but didn't have a place for.

Now you talk of a sheet of paper, I remember...
