I like the first idea:

Why I Love It:

The big, bold, colorful letters make me recall a DIY game board in Childhood.  Instead of creating it out of simple embroidery thread and nails, the game board used rubber bands in various colour to achieve the same result. As we need not tie any knot, the process is quick and neat!

I think if teachers or librarians are thinking of using it for school or library displays, they can make a statement on the wall using the same method.  I would imagine that if 100 to 900 DDC Library Call Numbers Guide are in that scale, it will create an impressive look!

Here is the information from the web page that give you a step-by-step guide:

What You’ll Need:
Nails, embroidery floss, printer paper and a printer.


How to DIY:

Print a banner of the words you want using a bold sans serif font with straight edges (try Bell Gothic Std Black.)

Hang the banner on your wall, making sure the letters are straight and correctly spaced. Mark all of your nails ¾-inch from the head (that’s how far each one should be hammered into the wall to keep your letters even.)

Put nails into each corner and around the curves of your letters. Carefully tear the paper away being careful not to pull out any nails.

Using your embroidery floss, tie a knot on one nail and wrap it around the letter about seven times, and then tie the end to the same nail. Repeat for each letter until you’re done.
