I love freebies! Who doesn't? What do you do with them though? There are creative ways to show off the awards you received while working at company A or keep all freebies you got from company B wishing that someday you can auction one or two of the items off the internet. Turn corporate freebies and awards as home or office decor, a beautiful display of your wonderful memories at your previous or current job.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • shadowboxes
  • collection of freebies
  • collection of awards
  • glue gun
  • paper products like cardboard as background
  1. Step 1

    Collect your corporate memorabilia. The number of pieces depends on the size of your shadowbox. If you have a collection of freebies or awards from different companies, you might want to display them by company.
    Like for me, I have worked for three huge companies that always give out freebies. For company A, I gathered the awards (pins and plaques) I received plus my old badge. For company B, I put all the cute freebies, a card signed by the CEO addressed to me and other items worth remembering. For company C, I collected all new products launched during my time working for them.

    This is a unique way to express your pride for being a part of a great company.

  2. Step 2

    Use a glue gun to bond the items to the background. Use your creativity and imagination to arrange the items in the shadowbox.

  3. Step 3

    Make sure all the items are securely glued to the background. Put the glass or acrylic cover and hung!
