Directions
Fold Cardstock in half.
Write "DAD" in bubble letters, make sure the open spaces in D, A, and D are big enough to show the 3 photos through.
Cut out the insides of D A D. Glue the photos to the inside of the card, so the pictures show through the cut out spots. Write World's Best above the DAD pictures and decorate inside of card.

Directions
Paint the bowl and let dry. Write with Permanent Marker: Dad Rocks on the front of the bowl.  Pick a stone for each member of your family (if you can't gather these, they can be bought at Walmart or dollar store). Glue eyes on stones and then glue all stones inside bowl. You can add mouths with marker also.

Directions:
You cut a large circle out of the white foam. Then cut a rectangle out of the center just smaller than the picture (I use a straight razor like you use to open boxes). The child can tape their picture underneath centered in the cut out. They can then use the markers to make the baseball stripes and write the words on the ball, or they can have an adult do it if they want it to be neater. Then just stick a magnetic strip to the back and they can hang it on their refrigerator (or desk at work).

Directions:
Sand top of the jar lid. Put hot glue on the lid and place peanuts in different positions over the hot glue. Let dry. Glue the rest of the peanuts with tacky glue to the stack, making it several rows of nuts tall. Spray with the gold paint, including the lid.

Add a printed label to the jar that says "dad I'm nuts about you" Fill with your dad's favorite nuts.

Directions:
Trace, Paint or Stamp your child's feet onto the cardstock and cut out. Write on the footprints, the below poem and glue the prints to cardstock. Frame or turn into a card.

"Walk a little slower Daddy" said a child so small,
"I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true,
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."

• a metal lunchbox
• an insulated lunch bag
• a small plastic cooler chest
• a tool or tackle box
• a picnic basket
• a galvanized bucket or watering can
• a new portable barbecue grill
• an ice bucket
• any variety of cooking pots or bowls

Once you've decided on a container, fill it with some of Dad's favorite treats, or stick with a theme. For instance, if your Dad loves to barbecue, you might fill a galvanized bucket with some barbecue utensils, add a bag of mesquite wood chips and decorative jars and bottles of spice blends, meat rubs and home made mustards and vinegars.

Add dads favorite fishing lure, candy, paperback book, snacks, homemade gift certificates, car washing supplies, handprinted tshirt, coffee cups w/sampler coffees, etc.

Directions:
Lay out a piece of wax paper or recycle a plastic bag to protect your work surface. Note: Newspaper will stick to the project.
Lay three Popsicle sticks flat next to each other side to side. Glue the three sticks together. This is the front side of the card holder.

For the base of the business card holder, lay 2 Popsicle sticks flat next to each other and glue together in the same fashion as that of the front.

For the back of the business card holder, lay 4 Popsicle sticks flat next to each other side to side, and also glue together.

For the sides of the card holder, cut 1 and 1/4 inch off of the top and bottom of 2 Popsicle sticks.

Lay 2 long edges together, side to side and glue together. (see photo)

Repeat with other 2 ends for the other side of the card holder.

Glue the front to the base at a right angle.

Glue the back to the base also at a right angle. Now you should have a U-shaped figure.

Glue the right and left sides to the base, front, and back of the card holder. Now you should have the actual card holder finished.

After the glue has dried all the way, paint the whole thing with the green craft paint.

Let the paint dry.

After the card holder has dried, glue the golf tees and white pom-pom to the front of the card holder. You can glue the tees crossed over each other or just flat next to each other.

Directions
To prepare the box for painting, lightly sand the wood.

Paint the box. This will have to be done in stages (the inside first, the bottom next, and the top and sides last), allowing the paint to dry each time.

To paint multicolored stripes, as shown on the pencil box, apply strips of Easy Mask KleenEdge tape (sold in most craft or paint stores) in a parallel pattern and paint between them. When the paint dries, remove the tape (it won't peel off the paint), tape over the freshly painted areas and paint new stripes between them. Once the paint dries, apply a coat of acrylic varnish to protect and enhance the colors and let it dry completely.

Next, glue a felt liner to the inside of the box. Then glue decorative items that reflect the recipient's interests onto the top. With items that are hard to stick, try gluing bits of felt to the bottoms and then gluing the felt to the box.
 

Supplies
Cereal box
8 1/2- x 11-inch white paper
Hole punch
Ribbon or string

Directions
Cut a 9 1/2- x 6-inch rectangle from the cereal box and place it picture-side up. Fold it in half. Stack white paper, fold the sheets into quarters, cut along the top, and set the paper inside the cardboard. Punch three holes through the paper and cardboard and thread ribbon to bind.

Now, brainstorm topics for the book. If it says on the left page "My Favorite Animals," then print on the facing page, "Your Favorite Animals." Your child can draw or write in his answers, leaving the other side blank for his father to complete later. Other topics might be favorite colors, special places or five things you love about the other person.

Supplies

1 yardstick with a hole in 1 end (you may have to drill it)

Spray paint or other paint in your choice of color

6 Spring-type clothespins

Glue

Directions
Paint the yardstick and the clothespins, and let them dry.

Glue the clothespins evenly spaced onto the yardstick, 1 on each end and one in the middle. They should be parallel to the yard stick. Let dry completely.

Hang it onto the wall by placing the end with the hole over a hook or screw. Now you can keep hats organized. Just clip them on the yardstick, and they are out of the way.
