Help!?
What can I use if I don't have printed photos, magazines, glue, or stickers?
If you don't have printed photos or magazines for the step 'Pick a photo...', print a picture from a phone or tablet, cut an image from colored paper or draw your own picture, and use a glue stick or double-sided tape instead of liquid glue and markers or scraps of colored paper instead of stickers.
My photo keeps wrinkling or coming loose after gluing—how can I fix it?
If the photo wrinkles or comes loose when you 'Glue the photo into the picture space,' use a glue stick or double-sided tape, press it flat and let it dry under a heavy book, and trim any excess edges so the paper lies flat.
How can I adapt the project for younger or older children?
For younger kids, draw larger picture/drawing/facts boxes with pencil and ruler and pre-cut or help glue the photo and write the three facts and short postcard message, while older children can research deeper facts, add a small map or neat typography, and prepare a photo to share on DIY.org.
How can I make my postcard or poster more special or advanced?
To enhance the postcard or poster, glue a small hand-drawn map or ticket stub near the facts space, add layered textures or travel-themed stickers around the edges, write a slightly longer friendly message, and photograph the finished piece to upload to DIY.org.
