Father's Day Bow Tie Card - finished card Father's Day is around the corner. My dad absolutely loves plaid button ups so, I thought this would be a cute and simple card to make for him! I like cards that have dimension so I used felt for the bow tie, but you can use paper too.

Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 1 card

Supplies:

scrapbook paper
scissors
paper trimmer - optional
hot glue
double sided tape - optional
buttons
felt - optional

Steps:

I used a 12 x 12 plaid scrapbook paper and folded in half for a traditional upright card.

To create the felt bow, I cut a 4.5" x 4.5" square.

To secure the bow, cut 1" strip for the center of the bow. Secure with hot glue.
