Father's Day Gift Bags

Create a special gift bag for Dad and fill with homemade treats, something salty and something sweet, for a gift he'll love.

Approximate Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

• white lunch bag
• scissors
• craft glue
• two small shirt buttons
• scrap of fabric
• piece of card stock or cardboard
• pen or pencil

Instructions:

1. Cut about a 2 inch slit down from the top edge of the lunch bag.
2. Fold each side back and glue into place. This will resemble a shirt collar.
3. Glue a small shirt button on each corner of the flaps that were glued down.
4. Draw a tie onto a piece of cardboard and cut out.
5. 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.
6. 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!"
