Travel the world “virtually” from the comfort of your own home with our Travel Ad blog series!
Our stop on Day 5 on this 14-day journey is Europe!
From the ad:
Our European Plan. It gives you 20 cities for the price of Rome. On a round-trip ticket. That’s just one sample of our many Extra Cities Plans. And to make them even bigger bargains, we’ve got new Economy tour fares for groups of 15 or more. (We’ll even help you form a group). With these fares, for instance, our Holiday 404 now gives you 17 days of Lisbon, Madrid, Rome, Paris and London for as little as $517 from New York – Jets, hotels, the works.
Our European Plan – travel ad from the April 21, 1967 issue of TIME magazine
Creative Uses for Vintage Ads
There are many ways you can use vintage ads – both in your home decor and for your art projects. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Save this image to your computer (right-click and choose “Save Image As”, then use the digital copy in your digital art projects.
- Resize the digital image and use it as a cover for a handmade notepad or travel journal.
- Print a color copy of the ad, frame it and hang it in your home or office – a sense of wanderlust.
- Print color copies and use them as gift wrap for small gifts – especially fun for the world traveler.
- Print enlarged color copies of the digital file, then laminate the copies and use them as placemats – sure to be a conversation starter at the dinner table.
- Use printed color (or black and white) copies for your decoupage projects (laser printer copies work better than ink jet copies).
- Print the ad on iron-on transfer paper and create t-shirts, tote bags, napkins, and other craft ideas with fabric.
- Turn printed copies of the ad into paper garland. Just trim the paper into any shape you prefer (such as a pennant flag), punch two holes in the top and thread twine through the holes to create a garland. Fun decor for a bon voyage party.
