Origami Shirts

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Years ago I came across this delightful project on the Martha Stewart web site. Ever since, my dad has received several Father’s Day cards with variations of this little shirt. Recently I made the cards below out of Ink & Paper gift wrap and a page from a magazine.

To try your hand at origami download and follow these easy instructions. I referenced Martha Stewart and Mad About Cards to create the illustrations and instructions. Try personalizing by adding a goofy tie or bowtie, using materials specific to your recipient, or changing the scale. When finished, adorn a card, create a gift tag, or hide with a note for dear ol’ dad to find when he grabs his coffee mug or puts on his socks this upcoming Sunday.

Celebrating Dads

Monday, June 15th, 2009

What are you doing for dad this upcoming weekend? If you’ve got a few minutes, we have a diy project that is quick and can easily be personalized by you. For starters, download this Father’s Day card and check off all answers that apply! The flat card fits into a #10 or business envelope. Pair the card with a drink koozie like the one below and you’ll be ready to celebrate with dad.

I recently did the project below for my husband, not for Father’s Day, for a trip he was taking with the guys–but this can easily be made for dad. I found solid color koozies at Michael’s and also purchased a white paint pen.

The numbers I made a stencil for and traced onto one side. I then hand-wrote the text and filled with cigars. You can personalize with something your dad likes–favorite sports team, a fun quote, or a unique design created by you. Fill with home baked cookies, golf tees, or a gift card and you’ve got a keen gift in minutes. Happy Father’s Day!
