- Just buy some poster paper from any stationary store in a colour they like
- Cut them out to whatever dimension you want and super glue/staple them together. If you want something that is more sturdy then take it over to FedEx/Staples and they will spiral bind it for you for less than $5.
- Fill up the cover page with a drawing and their name. Bad at drawing? Don’t worry- just cut up a bunch of pictures and make a simple collage.
- Fill in the first page with why you’re making this and how much you miss them and wish they could be by your side.
- Fill in the pages! Every time you travel make sure you take a picture that is suggestive of you wanting them to be there. Don’t have time? Buy a postcard and stick it in. Make sure a write a short note for each place. You can even add in some ticket stubs and coins (if it is a different country) to make things extra special!
- Send it to them once its all filled up!
