How to Make a Dad 'Egg Head' Figure Plant

This craft is to make a home-made Chia Pet - like Dad figure. It isn't so hard to make either. Ask your Mom to save you an egg shell. She will most likely clean it for you...but if not, carefully clean out the egg shell and let dry. Then clean up the edges of the shell to make the tips pretty even. Beak a popsicle stick / craft stick in half (picture #1). Then glue them to the bottom of a toilet paper roll (picture #2). Then balance the egg on the top of the cardboard tube (picture #4). Paint the face on to look like your Daddy. If he has facial hair...it is sort of funny to use felt or yarn to accentuate his features. Add clothes with fabric, felt, lace, butons, beads, or other items. You might want to cut out a felt tie and work coat. After everything is decorated....place some cotton in the eg shell. Then sprinkle with water and add cress seeds. Then put your Dad egg head in a dark place and check on it every day. When you see green straws like grass...then it is time to put it in the light...maybe in front of the window. Every day put some drips of water in the cotton.

How to Make a Grass Ball with DAD Written on It

This is a unique idea....making grass grow in a ball shape with the word 'Dad' written on the side of it. Roll a piece of absorbent cotten (about 2" thick) into a round ball and tie string or ribbon around it to keep it in a ball. Then take some glue and write Dad in thick letters in the side of the cotton. Let Dry completely...keeping it flat so that the glue doesn't run (if your Mom is around...have her draw it in hot glue). After this has completely dried, then wet the ball in a pan of water. Next roll out grass seed on a piece of paper. Next roll the ball in the grass seed. The grass seed won't be able to grow on the portion that you wrote 'Dad' on . Make sure that the rest of the ball is covered in the grass seed. Tack the string in a dark closet (in a place your Dad won't look) for two days. Then take the ball out and tack it in the sun. The grass will start to grow everywhere but the 'Dad' place. Give this to your Dad and he can hang it in his office. He will enjoy some grass that he doesn't have to mow.

How to Make Picture Cups for Dad as a Photograph Paper Weight

This craft would make a great present for your Dad on Father's Day. You will need a clear glass, as pictured above. Then find some photographs of yourself and cut a few of them out as they will be decorating your photo paper weight. Also cut out letters from magazines to spell out 'Best Dad' or 'Top Dad' or something like that. Then moisten the picture a bit and stick it around the inside of the glas. Now have your Mom mix some patching plaster with water until it is thick. Now turn the glass so the opening is upwards and fill it with the plaster and smooth the top out with a knife...then let is set until it is hard. Now trace a circle piece of felt and cut it out and then cover the top layer of plaster with glue and then with the felt. Your Dad can stick it upside down as a paper weight photo display for his desk.

Making Dad a Heart Book Telling Him How Much You Love Him

Make your Daddy a special book to tell him not only how much you love him, but why you love him so much. He will cherish this keepsake book forever and ever. Firstly, get 6 pieces of paper, all the same size. Fold each piece of paper in half, then find a wooden block to press down the fold into a nice crease (picture #1). Put one page inside another until all 6 pages are gathered together. (picture #2). Then fold a red piece of paper in the same way and then add all the white (or other color) pages inside the red piece of paper and use a big paper clip clamp to hold them together. Draw a half heart on this paper with middle of heart on the fold (picture #3). Cut out the heart (picture #4). Unclamp the clip. Then open up the heart pages and clamp together at the top this time. Poke 3 holes in the middle of the heart with a needle. Cut a very long string and knot at the end. Put the needle and string up through the back of the heart into the middle hole and pull through until knot stops the string (picture #5). Then (picture #6) shows you how to sew the book's seam. From the middle hole, go down into top hole, and up thru the 3rd hole and again down into middle hole. Then tie a knot in the back and keep the extra strings (if you want to) to add beads on them. Inside the book, draw or add photos of your Dad, you and your family and write on each page a reason why you love him so much. Or, you can tell a story about you and your Dad. Either way, fill this book with all of your love to show your Dad just how special he is.

Make a #1 Dad Bottle Cap Badge Ribbon

Remove the cork insert from the bottle cap, if there is one. Now trace the cap on some colorful paper. Write something such as ' #1 Dad', 'Best Dad', or something like this. Cut the circle out and paste it inside the cap. Cut out 2 ribbons that are each about 2 inches long. Fasten the ribbons to the back of the cap with either masking tape, scotch tape or if Mom is around, ask her to help you with hot glue. Also attach a safety pin with tape or hot glue (with Mom's help). Show Dad how much you care by giving him this thoughtful present on Father's Day.

Make Dad a Pen and Pencil Holder for Father's Day

This attractive pen and pencil rack would be useful at home or in school. Rinse out a flat-top milk container and allow it to dry out thoroughly. With the spout opening of the container at the top, mark off the grooves in which the pens and pencils are placed, with a ruler and a pencil. With a pair of scissors, cut off the top of the container and cut out the grooves. You may cut a piece of fancy paper to fit the rack and glue it in place; you may cut and then glue a piece of plain paper to the rack and decorate with colored wax crayons, or you may paint the rack a solid color and after it is dry paint on decorations or designs. If you paint the rack, run your wet brush over a piece of soap or a piece of raw potato before dipping` it into the paint (or mix some Elmer's glue into the paint). This will prevent the paint from "slipping" off the surface of the container.

How to Make Dad Hand print Paper Weights

This is a great gift to give to Dad for Father's Day. He can put this handprint paper weight on his desk to hold down his papers. Get some self-hardening clay.

My son made one with higher edges and I use it to hold my glasses in. Let the pot dry and then paint your pot with pretty colors.

Make Your Dad an Autographed Hand printed T-Shirt
