Father's Day

Craft projects have been nonexistent lately due to summer outings; WE LOVE SUMMER and BEING OUTSIDE! I’m a little late on this post seeing as how Father’s Day came and went; however this project can be useful for almost any special occasion. As much as I’d love to show you an awesome Father’s Day gift craft project, it just didn’t happen this year…we resorted to (gasp) store bought gifts!

Card

Materials:
Card Stock
Crayons, markers, paint…
X-Acto

Instructions:
Using Adobe Indesign I set up a document that that was 8”x6” (card will fold to 4”x6” fitting into an A6 Envelope [4-3/4” x 6-1/2"]) for the grandfathers and an 8 1/8”x9 1/8 (card folds to 4.0625”x9.125” fitting into #10 envelope [4 1/8" x 9 1/2"]) for daddy. Page one on the right side I created a star burst with a 1/2 point rule, on page two on the right side I added a photo in the exact same coordinates as the starburst on the front cover and added text above and below the photo. Printed out page one, flipped the card stock over printing page two on the backside. I then Folded the card in half and let Benjamin color on the front of the card, once he was done I used an X-Acto knife to cut out the starburst allowing the photo to show through. I saved the starburst cutout for a name tag on the wrapped gift.






Wrapping Paper

Materials:
Large roll or sheet of paper
Crayons, markers, paint…

Instructions:
Let your child finger paint, glitter, markers, crayon…whatever his/her preference of the day on the paper, then use decorated paper to wrap gifts.
