Hi friends! Father’s Day is coming soon, and I have a super fun, easy craft that can be done for any Dad.
When we got our assignments for Father’s Day crafts, I was excited to brainstorm ideas. It’s definitely a creative challenge, at least for me, since my style is typically pretty feminine and bright. I wanted to create something that was more masculine as well as functional.
The idea of a gift basket came to mind, and I knew it’d be the perfect Father’s Day craft! With a gift basket, you can include actual gifts your father would like, while still incorporating a creative touch of scrapbooking!
I thought the easiest, most functional way to construct this kind of gift basket was to use a sturdy wooden crate. This way, you could include even heavier items inside. And you can embellish the crate any way you like!
You can certainly use this same craft for any kind of gifting occasion, and decorate according to your recipient. Since this gift basket is for Father’s Day, I went with darker and neutral colors.
Oddly enough, I found most of my “masculine” paper and embellishments from the All Heart and Sunny Days collections. The hunter green colored paper from All Heart was the perfect backing for the crate planks.
To do this, I measured the size of the planks on the crate. Then I used my paper trimmer to cut paper strips to fit the planks. I used adhesive tape and glue dots to secure the paper strips in place.
One the paper strips were secure, I used the gold glitter thickers and puffy alphas from Sunny Days to spell out “Best Dad Ever.” I arranged the phrase to the right side of the crate.
And to the left side of the crate, I arranged an embellishment cluster using ephemera, stickers, and chipboard from both collections. I loved the “XO” ephemera card! The black chipboard camera and the striped heart were also favorites.
Once the embellishing was complete, I filled the basket with some paper grass. After that, it was ready to be filled with gifts! This was such a simple craft and serves as the perfect creative touch for a Father’s Day gift. This is such an easy, fun craft and I hope you’re inspired to give it a try!
Supplies: All Heart - 6x8 Paper Pad (350857), Chipboard Stickers (350858), Cardstock Stickers (350860), Ephemera (350859), Charms (350861), Sunny Days – Chipboard Stickers (350801), Puffy Thickers (350800), Gold Glitter Thickers (350799), Puffy Alpha Thickers (350798)
