A Shelf of Your Own: DIY Displays for Collectibles
For those who collect memorabilia from TV shows, movies, or historical eras, displaying these treasures can be challenging. I find that dioramas and shadow boxes are a fantastic way to put my collectibles on show. They’re simple to make and can suit any theme, whether you’re building dioramas to display your diecast models or showcasing cherished personal items with a shadowbox. My goal in creating a display is to arrange the items and tell a story with them.
Interactive Map Art: Pin Your Travels With Flair
If you’re a globetrotter, creating a visual of your travel story is a must. One of my favorite ideas is to transform a large map into wall art by mounting it on a foam board, framing it, or creating a rolled canvas. Then, you can add a personal touch by painting or decoupaging the frame with travel-inspired motifs. Use different colored pins, strings, and tags to differentiate between various trips or modes of travel to draw guests to this interactive piece. I find that it’s a great way to get guests asking about all the adventures it represents.

Digital Meets Handicraft: 3D Print Your Imagination
Technology and crafts intersect beautifully in the world of 3D printing. With DIY 3D printers becoming more affordable, you can create bespoke items that truly represent your interests. For example, a Dungeons and Dragons fan might design and print dice or figurines of their favorite characters, while an astronomy aficionado could craft a replica of a planet. For those who love plants and sustainability, 3D-printed planters with fun shapes or integrated watering solutions offer a practical yet uniquely personal touch.
Magical Creations With a Glue Gun: Crafting Beyond Boundaries
In my opinion, a glue gun is a gateway to creative freedom. Imagine transforming simple materials like beads, wires, and fabric scraps into exquisite jewelry or crafting bespoke home decor that reflects your inner aesthetic. You can use a cordless hot glue gun for crafts, home projects, and more. Mastering the art of glue gun crafting can elevate your DIY game to new heights.

3D printing is so interesting to me. A neighbor 3D printed a few small gifts for my son (a car, a duck, a heart box with lid) and I just kept turning the objects over, wondering how this was possible to do! I obviously am not very tech-y! I enjoy embroidering with embroidery kits, typically flowers, especially during road trips when I have lots of time on my hands.
