Supplies Needed For This Homemade Father’s Day Card

• Decorated Paper or Construction Paper
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Glue
• Marker
• Scissors

How To Make This Homemade Father’s Day Card

Step 1

On the paper you will be using for the shirt, flip it to the back and measure out 6.5 inches x 9 inches. That should be the inches of the rectangle. Cut it out.

Step 2

Fold it in half hot dog style.

Step 3

Measure about half an inch down. On the right side the line needs to go all the way across. On the left the right and left side should have a line.

Cut off the rectangle from the right side and just cut over the lines on the left.

Step 4

Fold the tabs you cut over the front. This will make the collar of your shirt.

Step 5

Take a second piece of paper, we used purple, and measured 3.5 inches on each side making a square. Cut it out.

Step 6

Flip the square so it’s a diamond and fold the sides into make a triangle at the top.

Step 7

Flip it over and fold the point down.

Step 8

Flip it one more time.

Step 9

Flip the tie over again to the back sides and flip each side over so they meet in the middle. They don’t have to overlap, ours did. You just want the tie smaller.

Step 10

Glue your tie to the shirt.

Step 11

Glue the collar down.

Step 12

Using the other paper cut out a rectangle so that it fits most of the inside of your card.

Step 13

Write Happy Father’s day and other loving words!

Our Experience With This Father’s Day Homemade Card Craft

We love Father’s Day. Father’s day is a day that tends to get overlooked I think, and so I wanted to do something special especially since my kids adore their father.

And he is a hardworking man who provides, protects, and always makes time for the kids regardless of how tired he is. And what better way to say I love you than with a homemade card.

We are pairing this with the gift we bought him, the gifts the kids made him, and the cake we are going to surprise him with! Happy Father’s day to all the wonderful fathers!
