How to make it

1
Gather the stuff
Pull out everything from 1 event or 1 year of shows.
2
Cover the back
Cut cardstock to fit the backboard. Dark colors make tickets pop.
3
Arrange it
Lay pieces at slight angles and overlap them. Biggest piece in the back.
4
Stick it down
Use glue dots on paper and pins on wristbands so nothing gets damaged.
5
Close it up
Pop the glass frame on. Stand it on a shelf or hang it with picture strips.

Edie's tip

Add a small label with the date and venue. You'll forget sooner than you think.
