I recently scrounged through all my original how-to’s and thought I’d compile a roundup of all those appropriate for Mother’s/Father’s Day gifts…or gifts for yourself! Some would make great wedding/shower favors too.

A Designer Key Rack  would be great for Dad.

A big project with big impact is my Jewelry Pegboard.

How about a little Beaded Wire Collage?

My recent Floating Frame how-to might be a hit.

Help your loved ones get organized with these Conversational Task Clips.

And speaking of conversation, Custom Magnetic Words are always fun.
