U More great help for father's day
from Kaboose http://crafts.kaboose.com/ DON'T
FORGET THIS SUNDAY JUNE 20TH IT IS FATHERS DAY
AND TIME FOR YOU TO MAKE DAD A GREAT CARD AND
MAYBE A GIFT.
What you'll need:
-
8"x10" piece of light cardboard
- (cereal box, etc)
-
1 sheet green construction paper
-
9 shiny pennies
-
Green fine point marker
-
Pencil with eraser
-
Blue fine tip marker
-
Scissors
-
White craft glue
-
Glue stick
How to make
it:
-
Fold the green construction paper and
cardboard in half like a greeting
card. Place the cardboard on the inside of the
green construction
paper, lining up the fold lines. Use a glue stick
to attach the
cardboard to the construction paper. (See photo.)
-
Trim off the excess paper if needed. (See
photo.)
-
Use pencil to lightly write "DAD" across
the front of the card, leaving about 1.5" space
underneath. (See photo.)
-
Use green fine point marker to draw dollar
signs on "DAD" letters. Erase any pencil marks that
might show through. (See photo.)
-
Use white craft glue to attach a penny to each
corner of the D's, where
the curve meets straight lines, and at the center
of the curve. Glue a
penny to the top of the letter A, and two at the
bottom. (See photo.)
-
Write, "You're worth every penny!"
underneath "DAD" with blue fine point marker.
Tips:
-
The pennies add quite a bit of
weight to this card, so even card stock
or poster board is not sturdy enough, be sure to
use the cardboard or
your card will not stand freely.
-
For a lightweight card, make photocopies of
the pennies and cut them out and glue them on,
instead of the real thing.

DOES YOUR DAD LIKE
FISHING
Does your Dad love fishing ?
If so, he'll love this homemade
Father's Day card
featuring a pair of fish --
and a healthy
dose of creativity!
What you'll
need:-
1 sheet of blue construction paper
-
Patterned paper (stripes, polka dots, etc)
-
Scraps of yellow and green construction paper
-
Toothpick
-
3" string
-
2 medium wiggle eyes
-
Scrap of tan felt or paper
-
Scrap of white paper
-
Hole punch
-
Pen or pencil
-
Scissors
-
Glue stick
-
White craft glue
How to make
it:
-
Fold the blue construction paper in half
like a greeting card, set aside. (See photo.)
- Draw a letter D on a piece of card
and with mum's help make a
template.
- Pencil draw the "D" onto the paper
being used for the two fish and cut out.
-
Cut out one tail triangle and two smaller fin
triangles (See photo.) from the yellow
construction paper. Repeat same with the green
construction paper.
- Use a
glue stick to attach the tail and fins to the fish
by gluing to the
back of the D shaped patterned paper. (See photo.)
-
Cut the pointed ends off of the toothpick. Tie the
string to one end of
the toothpick and trim one end. This is your
fishing pole letter "A". (See photo.)
-
First place your fish and your fishing pole (D A D)
onto the front of
the card. Once you have them where you want them,
use the glue stick to
attach the "D's" and the white craft glue to attach
the "A". (See photo.)
-
Glue on wiggle eyes and use a sharp pencil
to draw a hook at the end of the fishing line. Let
dry completely.
Tips:
-
While patterned paper is cute, you can also have
children make their
own by coloring white paper with markers or crayons
and cutting out
your D's.
-
Use card stock instead of construction
paper for a sturdier card.
-
Don't throw away any scraps, cut or tear them into
small squares and
keep in a zipper gallon bag for future projects.
Great for mosaics
