Most dads have a hobby. With this in mind and a photo of dad, you can turn any old gift bag into a work of art to use as wrapping for his Father's Day gift.
Crafting Time: 30 - 45 minutes
Materials
- paper gift bag
- photo of dad you can cut up
- free clip art picture from the internet (depicting dad's hobby)
- cellophane tape
- construction paper, letter and number stencils, and a pencil; or you can make your own large letters and numbers by changing the font, letter size and color with your computer and printing on copy paper
- glue
- curling ribbon
- tissue paper
Instructions
- Choose a plain gift bag that will reflect your dad's hobby, such as a blue one for fishing or a green one for golf (sample is black and white checks for auto racing).
- Cut dad's face out of the photo.
- Find a place on your clip art where the face will fit. Then either glue the face onto the clip art or cut out a section of it and tape the face to the back, so it will show through. The sample shows a race car and driver, with the driver's face cut out and dad's face taped to the back.
- Now glue the clip art, with face attached to one side of your bag.
- Add #1 Dad below the photo, by gluing on either construction paper letters and numbers or those computer-driven.
- Tie ribbon around the handles of the bag and insert tissue paper. Your bag is now ready for your special gift.
