Children will enjoy working on this simple and fun craft to make as a gift for Dad. Some of it is a bit tricky for younger children, but with a bit of help they can make and give this fun bookmark that Dad will be proud of.
Supplies:
- plain coloured paper
- crayons or marker pens
- Biro to write a message
- pencil
- glue
Steps:
- You will need a strip of paper 4.5cm x 21cm. 21cm is the length of the short edge of a piece of A4 paper (or the short edge of a piece of A5 paper).
- Measure and mark carefully using your pencil. A guillotine will give the best results for cutting, but scissors are fine in you cut carefully.
- Make a mark with your pencil 1cm from the top edge.
- At the same level divide the bookmark into thirds by marking every 1.5cm.
- Make a cut on each side.
- Fold the sides in to look like a shirt collar.
- Draw a tie. It's easier than you think. Make a circle for the knot and draw 2 long lines going outwards.
- Then draw a v shape at the bottom.
- Colour it in.
- Use a little dab of glue to hold the collar down.
- Make a dot on each side of the collar to look like buttons.
- Write your message.
