Quick Father's Day Idea

Here is a quick idea for Fathers Day.
(You could really give this to any important male in your life: Grandpa, Teacher, or Neighbor!)
 Aren't they fun?  Here is a tutorial on how to make them.
First, draw a tie to use as your pattern.
 Trace it on your choice of paper!
I used three different scrapbook papers that I had.
 Then cut it out! Easy-Peasy, right??
 Next, take a regular envelope (small size) and seal it!
 
 Take a pair of scissors and cut the very end of it off. (I took about 1/4 of an inch)
 
 Find the center and make a 1 inch slit in it.
 Fold down the two pieces to make it look like a shirt collar.
 Make a cute note to stick on a candy bar and tape it on
 Finally, just glue the tie underneath the "collar"!
(I also glued the "collar" down too)
 Don't forget to slip the candy bar and note in the top!

  1. We're celebrating fathers day on every third sunday of June to honor the hardworking fathers around the world. That's why father's day breakfast is one of the best to offer on our father. A special meal treat to the father comes from their wife can relieve all the the pain in terms of emotional that fathers undergo will easyly wiped out.

    You may check out this great video on YouTube for making a steak & eggs breakfast for your father. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGoi9pMjzoA hope you'll enjoy it.

  7. I am having a problem printing out the tie template. It turns out HUGE. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong because there's no way this tie will fit on my envelope? This is adorable. Thanks so much!
