How to make your holiday memory board
An airplane window as a personalized photo wall – it sounds unusual, but it's a charming way to creatively showcase travel memories. Using a real airplane window or a replica from Aircraftwindows, you can create a DIY memory board that tells stories: of favorite destinations, unforgettable moments, and the fascination of flying.
From aircraft design to decorative highlight
Aircraft Windows' airplane windows capture the design of aviation and bring this aviator aesthetic into the living space. Their shape, structure, and appearance are inspired by original passenger aircraft parts, creating an authentic aviation look that captures travel and wanderlust without appearing too technical. Combined with photos, travel souvenirs, or fairy lights, the window becomes a modern wall decoration with a personal touch. This DIY project requires no craftsmanship skills—a little creativity is all it takes to create a personalized vacation memory board in aviation style.
How to create your DIY holiday memory board
Your airplane window can be customized in many ways – depending on your taste and the materials available.
This is what you need:
-
An aircraft window in a design of your choice from Aircraftwindows
-
Photos, postcards or small souvenirs
-
Thin craft cord or yarn
-
Small wooden clips or adhesive pads
-
Optional: LED light strip or mini photo chain for soft lighting
Here's how:
-
Attach the cord across the frame or cutout of the window.
-
Hang photos, tickets, or Polaroids with small clips.
-
If you like, you can add a subtle string of lights to gently illuminate the memories.
-
Find a suitable place – above your desk, in the hallway, or in the living room – and create your own little travel gallery around it.
This creates a photo wall in the aviation look that is not only decorative, but also makes emotions and memories visible.
Aviation style for your home
An airplane window as a wall decoration brings the charm of aviation into any room. It evokes freedom, adventure, and the joy of travel – without being intrusive. As a DIY project or gift idea for pilots, frequent flyers, or aviation enthusiasts, it's a creative way to integrate a passion for aviation into everyday life. This transforms a piece of technological history into a personal, stylish keepsake.
