Simple souvenirs - free eye masks, pens and corks

Souvenirs
Children's kits, playing cards and postcards (from airlines and restaurants).
Airline socks, masks, ear plugs and bags.
Hotel sewing kits.
Pens with advertising names.
Wine bottle corks.

Wine bottle corks
1Use as markers in the garden. Stick one on the top of a thin stake and write the plant name in waterproof felt tip pen.
2 Frame corks in an old frame which has lost its (broken) glass. Stick the corks on the backing. Fill any gaps with corks cut in half or strips of cork. (Or ribbon.)
3 Stick corks onto a plate and add a clock mechanism (which you can buy on line).

Clothes
1 Baseball caps with advertising name.
After the holiday is over, if you don't want the name showing or want to change colour, cover the wording with a ribbon. Use the same ribbon on your coat or jacket to make a co-ordinated outfit.
2 Advertising t-shirts. Dye black.
