Easy Father's Day Cards

I found a tutorial to make these adorable Father's Day cards here. I used scraps of paper and buttons I already had in my craft supplies and this is how they turned out:


Supplies you will need:

Paper for "Shirt"
Patterned paper for "Tie"
2 small buttons for the "Collar"
Glue stick
Glue gun

1. Fold paper in half (to the size you would like your card to be) with the crease at the top. Cut a 2" to 3" slit (depending on the size of your card) at the top roughly 1" below the crease of the card.

2. Cut a tie from patterned paper (I used the print out from the tutorial above as a guide and cut mine slightly smaller to fit on my card). Glue the tie cutout to the center of the card with a glue stick (make sure the top folds, the collar, will cover the top of the tie before gluing).

3. Fold over the top slits to look like a collar and secure with a glue gun. Add a small dot of glue to the corner of each collar and place a button on top of each glue dot.

4. Open up the card from the bottom and write your Dad/Husband/Grandpa a nice note to let him know how much you love and appreciate him.

Happy Father's Day to all the great dad's out there!
