Monday Funday: 3 Easy Gift Ideas for Dads
By Candie Cooper
It's almost June and you know what that means! Father's
Day gift crafting time. Here are a few easy ideas that you can craft
up for dad. First up, memo clips for the organized dad.
Binder clips come in all colors and sizes. Cut photos
and scrap book paper to fit the rectangle area on the clip. I used
a color copier to reduce the size of these photos.
Use Mod Podge in the gloss formula to seal images to clips.
Take care to put the face in the center so when the silver piece
is up, you can still see the face. Make mini, medium and big sizes
of clips with all different photos for a great set.
Next up, a luggage tag for the dad that travels!
Trace the luggage tag onto fun paper and cut out. Use
letter stickers to spell out D-A-D on extra paper.
Mod Podge the papers to the tag and leave to dry. For
an extra protective layer, seal with gloss acrylic varnish.
Lastly, a gift for sporty dad. It's tee time!
Pick up a bag of tees and poke into the side of a box
to secure while painting. I used FolkArt paints for these because
it's a thicker and requires only one coat.
Kids will have fun painting stripes, dots and simple brushes
of paint (see tee on right). Once paint has dried, seal the tees
with a spray varnish.
Don't forget the tie-rack idea from last year too!

Freelance Friday: DIY Mod Podge Baby Letters
Happy Friday everyone! The weekend is here and that means it is time to buckle down and get to that craft project you have been putting off. Several people I know are getting ready to have babies (it must be something in the water), and since I know I will be invited to some baby showers I have been looking for baby gifts to create. Luckily I stumbled across a great baby gift idea on the blog, Style by Tiffani. Check out these DIY Baby Letters. This is a very simple, yet creative and sentimental craft project. If you know the name of the baby, find wooden letters, some kid friendly images, and mod podge. Click here to see how this project was created. Make these for your new bundle of joy, or give as a gift at the next baby shower you are invited to.

Web Wednesday: Teacher Appreciation Gift
 Often times I feel that most teachers don't always receive the credit they deserve. They have such an important role they play in a child's life, and their efforts at times are undervalued. Now usually there is a dedicated time of the year for teacher appreciation day, but I feel teachers can be celebrated anytime. Here is a great teacher's appreciation gift I found on the blog A Pumpkin and A Princess. This is a very simple project that your kids can definitely help create. I love how creative this project is. This is a simple idea that uses Martha Stewart paints and stencils. To learn how this gift was made click here.
