This is a simple tie card/craft idea for Father’s Day. The fun thing about this card is Dad can wear it!
Materials
Tie Template
Light cardboard or paper
Scissors
Ribbon or string
Decorating: stickers, pens/pencils, collage material, glue, paint.
1. Template
Click the pictures below for the PDF printables. There is a blank one, plus one with a blank tie / Happy Father’s Day Message
2. Print
The best way to do this is to print the template directly on light card (coloured or white). Paper can be used too but the tie will sit better on heavy paper or card. Alternatively, cut the tie out and use as a template.
3. Cut
Cut around the outline.
4. Decorate
This is the fun part where my kids got involved. Decorate with:
- Drawings
- Patterns
- Collage
- Photo of the child
- Paint
- Stickers
stickers, drawing & collage
Tip: If doing a collage, it works well to laminate the tie after the collage is dry.
7. Message
Write a message to Dad on the back of the tie card.
6. Ribbon
Tape or staple a section of ribbon or string on the top (so Dad can wear it if he wants to!)
Pin it
