Dad's Day...

Father's Day is right around the corner and what better way to celebrate it then with a little homemade gift or two! This was made for my oldest's "other dad"(stepdad) :) I thought it was easy and lots of fun to give to the dad or dad's in our life!! Here is how I did it! :)

6 Bottles:

Item's Needed:

1- 6pkg of IBC cream soda, or Orange Cream Henry Weinharts

3-4- sheets of scrapbooking paper that coordinate

Glue

Scissors

6- printed off smiley faces/6 little says ex. "I love you" "your the best" 1- Happy Father's

Day! (All done on Microsoft and printed on cardstock)

6- different kinds of candy or snacks (preferrably small to fit in and out of the bottle)

*I used Cherry Nibs, Trail mix, Sour patch kids, Gummy worms, Boston Baked Beans, & Swedish Fish

Step 1: Drink the soda out of the bottles I recruited my hubby to do this for me!! :) Or you can pour them out whatever you chose to do!! Then wash out all 6 really well, peel off the stickers and make sure they dry completely!

Step 2: Take your 3 coordinating scrapbook papers...and also your scissors
Step 3: Cover all 6 bottles around the middle where the wrapper originally was

Cover the box also...

and the tops of the bottles like so!!

Step 4: Fill all 6 bottles with a different candy or snack

Step 5: make sure it all fits well into your box! :)

Step 7: Take your 6 printed sayings and glue them on to the scrapbook paper in the middle of the bottle.

Step 8: Also glue on the "Happy Father's Day!" & the 6 smiley faces like so:

Step 9: Make a little card to go with it and there you have it!! :)

Another Quick Father's Day Idea:

COUPONS FOR DADDY!
Items Needed:

Assortment of made up coupons (I made all of them on Microsoft)

ex. Help mow the lawn, dishes, wash the car...

Hole Punch

Scissors

Coloring Crayons

Your kiddos

1- ring to connect them all

Step 1: Start by cutting out all of the coupons making them all about the same size

Step 2: Have your kiddos color the pictures on them!!

Step 3: Punch holes in the top left corner of the coupon

Step 4: Connect them with the ring.

Your all done!! Super cute! :)

Flower Bow...

These are my favorite bows out of any of the kinds of bows I have made...they are easy and soo cute and you can combine so many different ribbons!! Here is how you do it!

Item's Needed:

For this bow:

4 different colors or patterened ribbon

1- large button

Hot glue gun

Scissors

Step 1: Take your ribbons...Cut the one you want on the bottom longest, then get a little shorter until you get to the fourth one. You will need 3 of the two longest, then 2 of the 3rd shortest and 1 of the shortest if that makes sense!!! :) Pictured below:

Step 2: Take one of the pieces of the longest ribbon. Fold in one end to the middle and glue, do the same with the other end. It will look like this:

Step 3: Do that to all 3 pieces and then glue them together like so:

Step 4: Take your next layer of ribbons (3 of them) and glue them the same way.

Step 5: Glue them together like so:

Step 6: Glue your layers together

Step 7: Do the same with your third layer (2 pieces)(black in this photo) and then make a figure eight with the top piece and glue all the layers together.

Step 8: Glue a large button that matches to the top. I made a set! Also glue an alligator clip to the back of your cute bow and ENJOY!!:)

Step 9: Get busy cutting ribbon and make a bunch! Here is what I did in one sitting! They are so fun :) One piece of advice that helped me to get down faster was to cut all the ribbon first and then sit and glue them!! :)
