Supplies:
white lunch bag
scissors
craft glue
two small shirt buttons
scrap of fabric
piece of card stock or cardboard
pen or pencil
Instructions:
Cut about a 2 inch slit down from the top edge of the lunch bag.
Fold each side back and glue into place. This will resemble a shirt collar.
Glue a small shirt button on each corner of the flaps that were glued down.
Draw a tie onto a piece of cardboard and cut out.
Using the tie pattern, trace around it onto a piece of fabric (plaid works well to resemble a tie). Cut out the fabric tie and glue down center front of bag.
Write the following poem on the back of the bag: "Dad, I think you are so sweet, the very salt of my earth. So here is a tasty treat, for only a fraction of your worth. It's just a little way to say a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!"
