Family heirlooms are a great way to pass down memories from one generation to another. There are many different things that can be made into family heirlooms. As long as the item contains a bit of information about your family, then it can be considered an heirloom. Here are some items that can be ideal for passing down:
Beaded Mothers Bracelets. These are perfect for family heirlooms, as they can hold a lot of information. These types of bracelets can be made to include names, birthstones, initials, etc. Other options, instead of a beaded mothers bracelet, could be a grandma bracelet. These are similar, but instead of having a child’s name, it will have a grandchild’s name or even both. If you have the right supplies, you can create beaded grandma bracelets or mother’s bracelets. If not, you can order them.
Scrapbooks. This is a popular choice for a family heirloom because it is affordable and so fun to make. All you will need are some pictures and a lot of creativity to put this heirloom together. Putting a scrapbook together can be made into a family activity to make it extra special. For those who do not have much patience for crafts, digital scrapbooking can be a good option.
Keepsake Boxes. For people who are good at preserving items, a keepsake box is a perfect family heirloom. You can carefully label and store special items for each family member. The first pair of shoes, a lock of hair and christening clothes are just some examples of what can be kept.
