So we wanted to give dad something special for Father's Day but we were not sure what. We decided to make something for his office. I had these cork boards rolling around and thought it would be nice to make him a mini bulletin board of sorts.
First we took the cork boards and we covered them with felt, we used a glue gun for that because the material is tricky and the glue gun pretty much works with everything.
Then we cut a huge heart and we pasted it on the board. After that, each kid decided how they wanted to decorate it and they were free to do as they pleased. We used pre-cut foams in all sots of shapes to give it the finishing touches.
In the end, it turned out nicely. My husband is using it until this day (we did this craft 3 years ago). By the way my kids were 5 and 3 and they both did a great job! My 3 year old required minimum help - she is kind of crafty but still 3 is very little and she did a fantastic job!
This last picture is of the lard almost finished....I did not have a good picture of the board completely done and wanted to post this sooner than later.
After finishing the gift, we decided to make him a nice card to go with it !
The kids had a blast and my husband felt special and very loved. It did not make a huge mess, and it was easy clean up. It definitely is worth it to plan ahead, and get some crafts done for special occasions!
I know Father's Day is not near, but I had this post as a draft and decided to publish it. It has been a while since I last posted and a nice friend of mind reminded me that I have not posted in a long time.
