I love displaying an inspiration board in my workspace to spark creativity and remind me of all of the beautiful things that make my heart sing! From magazine clippings, ticket stubs, and polaroids, to handwritten letters, receipts, and beloved quotes, there are countless items that can easily be displayed as reminders of life\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Below are a few tips to put together your very own display of inspiring mementos!<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Creating an Inspiration Board:<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. What Makes Your Heart Sing?<\/h3>\n<p>Before you begin putting together your inspiration board, make a list of things that make your heart sing. Maybe it\u2019s a scene of your favorite movie or the chocolate chip cookies your mom made when you were little. It could be the way the sky looks after it\u2019s rained or the song that instantly lifts your spirits.<\/p>\n<p>When your list is complete, search for photos or mementos that represent each item. For example, you can print an image of your favorite movie scene or type out a special recipe in your favorite font.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Treasured Memories<\/h3>\n<p>Next, gather souvenirs that transport you to your most treasured memories. These can include anything from receipts, faded photographs, handwritten notes, or even pieces of jewelry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Quotes<\/h3>\n<p>I always love browsing through <em>Bella Grace<\/em> for inspiring words! Scan and make copies of magazine pages featuring heartfelt quotes or handwrite them yourself for a personalized touch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Get Creative<\/h3>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve compiled an assortment of beautiful inspiration, lay each item on a flat surface and experiment with different ways to arrange them. You may want to organize your pieces of inspiration by creating piles according to color. This will allow you to discover which items coordinate best.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have decided on an arrangement, take a picture of it with your phone. Reference this photo as you pin the items to your inspiration board.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. A Dash of Sparkle<\/h3>\n<p>As a final touch of inspiration, it is always fun to add elements to your board that catch the light. You can hang necklaces or bracelets or even use earrings instead of thumbtacks!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What would you include on your inspiration board? I would love to hear what inspires you most in the comments below!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Hayley Solano is a creative soul and blogger from Southern California.
