Fathers Day Crafts-Here is a Unique Specialty Gift Wrapping for Fathers Day That Anyone Can do

Author: Linda M. Johnson

Ok, so you have the Fathers Day gift, now what?  Well why not incorporate some simple sports or hobby themed related items to your gift wrapping.    In order words, try adding layers of interest to what would normally be considered a traditional gift wrapped box with a bow.  This project will demonstrate how easily anyone can spice up a plain wrapped gift for Fathers Day that your loved one is sure to enjoy.    

This project is all about the details.  Not only are you creating visual interest, your also something that your one love can use after the gift is unwrapped.

You will need the following supplies: 

• Sports or hobby related gift wrapping paper – We chose one that has an antiqued look to it.
• 1 small bungee cord – Use a medium or large bungee cord for larger boxes or packages.  Bungee cords come in a variety of colors and sizes.  Coordinate the color of your bungee cord with the colors in your wrapping paper.
• 1 name tag – Store bought or you can make your own. 
• Hole puncher
• Ribbon or cording – Choose a color that matches the colors in your gift wrapping.
• 1 decorative sports related item.  Choose items that can be easily attached to the end of your bungee cord.  You can purchase one at a party supply or craft store.   Another idea would be to look at what you have in the garage or in the house.   For example, your husband loves to play darts.  You could buy a package of darts and attach one of them to the bungee cord.
• Scotch tape
• Scissors
• Sharpie pen

Steps 1 - Begin by measuring and cutting your themed wrapping paper.  You can also use plain colored wrapping paper and stamp a sports or hobby related theme pattern on to your paper using different colored ink.   In attempt to keep this project simple, I opted for a decorative single sheet store bought wrapping paper.

Step 2 - Wrap paper and secure with scotch tape.

Step 3 - Using your hole puncher, punch a hole out on the top of the name tag and address card using your sharpie pen.  Set name tag aside.

Step 4 – Wrap bungee cord around the center of your box or package hooking the ends together.

Step 5 – Thread your ribbon or cording through the opening of your name tag and attach to the bungee hooks, and tie the ribbon at the back of the hook.

Step 6 – Attach a decorative theme related item to the other bungee cord hook by securing with ribbon or cording.  Take care not to cover too much of the design of your sports or hobby related wrapping paper.

Happy Fathers Day

Author: Jawad Ahmad Riaz

A father day is special day for all the men in the world, this day is to pay tribute to all the fathers in the world, in fact not only fathers, but all the men who acted as fathers, step fathers, grand fathers and even big brothers. Father, a word which produces soothing effect just as a word mother does. Mother and father are two most important persons in any child life, without these people life can not be imagined.

When mother take cares for her child by cooking food, father works very hard to provide them. When mother helps completing in home work for her child, father pays fee for the school. Child cannot move a head without mother and father support in their lives. We see so many children on the road who have no basic education, do not have any thing to eat, don’t have enough cloths to wear; these children are unlucky who are without the blessing of their father who cannot pay for their food, education and cloths.

We are lucky people in the world, who have found every thing in the world, God have given us our lovely father and mother, we have been given the gift of love, basic necessities including food, education and every thing which is required to live happily.
Our father has performed all his duties with all dedication possible. He never taken care for his rest but put front his child’s rest in front and worked hard all his life to provide us every luxury of life. He ignored his health but never compromise on health of his child.

Fathers’ day is celebrated all around the world for giving tribute to all fathers. To regard his all efforts he have been doing all his life for his family, it is the day to tell him how special the word ‘father’ is and how special the person who has fathers title. This is the day to tell him how much we love him and how empty our lives without the relationship of father. This is the time to call our father and wish him happy father days. If we live near lets go and hug him and if we are far wish him by Father day ecards. Happy Fathers Day
