Both times, I brought home a handful of coins as a souvenir. Originally I had grand plans to display my maps, ticket stubs, and coins in a shadow box in our house, but frankly, I have more decor ideas than wall space. Then, I found a quick and easy craft project to turn those leftover coins into something useful: magnets!
I simply glued a heavy duty magnet to the back of each coin, following this tutorial at Tattered Style. I recommend first cleaning the coins and magnets with rubbing alcohol and having some acetone handy in case the glue decides to glurp all over some place where it's not supposed to be.
You could also use this same method to create push-pins to display your travel mementos on a bulletin board. Seriously, this was so easy... the hardest part was deciding which side of the coin to display!
