How to Make a Detective Themed Display Board
I have a friend who loves mysteries, especially Nancy Drew, and I wanted to make her a detective themed display board for her collection of pins and buttons.
Today’s project is a variation on a ribbon board or memo board—you’ve probably seen pictures of them with the ribbons neatly crisscrossed. I have one above my desk and use it to display cards, photos, and other ephemera. This is a great way to upcycle an unused frame or plain bulletin board.

Gift Idea: Create a Card Making Kit
A card making kit is a fun gift idea that lets the recipient get creative! One of my friends recently got into making her own cards, so I wanted to send her some fun paper and decorations that she can use to easily craft her own cards.

DIY Felt Christmas Banners
Today I’m sharing an idea for an easy, festive Christmas banner, which makes a perfect gift!
I made these banners for my dad to decorate his office at work. I love being able to make homemade gifts for my family. However, I have found it can be challenging to find gifts I can make for men. I’m good at making cute scarves, papercrafts, and jewelry—things which aren’t exactly on my dad’s wishlist! If you’re in a similar boat, this banner is the craft idea you’re looking for.
After being unable to turn up an ideas even after searching Pinterest, I came up with the idea of making a felt banner. My dad was looking for something to bring a touch of holiday cheer to his workspace, and I knew Dad wouldn’t want something bulky taking up space in his office. I saw this felt and loved the rich colors. They look festive and Christmasy, but not girly.
