Instructions

- 1
  Hang your relics on a wall. This may be a useful method for a bow and arrow or clothing. Find your wall studs with a stud finder. Slide the stud finder over the wall until it lights up or beeps. Mark the studs with a pencil. Tap nails or picture hangers into the studs of your walls with a hammer. Tie a string around your relic. Hang the string from the nail or nails.

  Drape Indian materials over furniture or the floor. Placing an Indian blanket over the back of a sofa or chair can add color to your room. Thicker blankets or rugs can be laid on the floor.

  Display heavier pieces in a display case, in a bookcase or on a table. Place small statues or figurines on shelves of a case. Place handmade clay pottery on a table in your kitchen.
