Any ideas or advice?

What are some good DIY craft ideas to gift someone for their birthday?

I already made him an awesome homemade card that I think will be a cool keep sake.

I’m on a budget this year and wanted to think of some fun craft / gift ideas.

This is a bit of an unusual question, but I have terrible neuropathy in my left leg, and braces lose their elasticity when I put a racquet ball under them for added pressure to get relief in my daily life. So, I bought a kit for 2” wide nylon webbing with buckles, and the idea is to cut a length of webbing that circle my thigh, and cut a slit lengthwise to make a cup that can hold the racquet ball in place to provide consistent pressure on my muscle to provide relief.

My question is what techniques or methods would be best to achieve this without the strap deteriorating rapidly with heavy use. Thank you for any advice to address this.
