'Tis the season for all things Drew! The following is a fun and easy project involving the wonderful set of Nancy Drew Mystery Series: 30 Postcards, published by Chronicle Books. You can purchase a set of these at their website.

For this project you will need:

Set of 30 Nancy Drew Postcards
Glue
Paint Brush
Glitters in various shades
Ribbons and other embellishments
Scissors and hole punches

Select colors of glitter that are eye pleasing and compliment the postcards. Using a small amount of glue which you can add a tiny droplet or two of water to thin slightly, apply thin lines of glue with your paintbrush to each postcard in an appealing pattern. You might select to put glue over a particular word in the book title or on a feature of Nancy’s clothing for example. Once you paint on your glue, sprinkle the postcard with your glitter. Shake off the excess and allow it to dry.

Once the glue is dry, you may hole punch your card and add a piece of pretty ribbon as a hanger to hang the postcard on a tree or you can use it as a nice gift tag or even a holiday card. Vary your styles of ribbons and add further embellishments as shown on The Mystery of the Tolling Bell card below. The sky is the limit for any crafty sleuth!
