Father’s Day is just next month. Do you know what you’re going to give your dad to show him appreciation for all that he does? I found this great, homemade, DIY inexpensive very cute gift for dad. If he likes to golf, he will love this gift and get a lot of use out of it.

You will need an empty glass jar (I used a spaghetti sauce jar with the label peeled off that I washed out with hot, soapy water), several golf tee’s, wide (2″) ribbon, paper, a hot glue gun, a pair of scissors, and a marker. This will take hardly any time to make and it’s very easy to do.

First, cut the ribbon so it is long enough to just fit around the cicumference of the jar. Hot glue it in place so it goes around the middle of the vase completely. Next, cut out a circle and write a phrase and sign your name with the marker. You can use the phrase pictured above which is very cute and witty. Last, fill the jar with the golf tee’s and replace the lid of the jar so they don’t fall out.

Have a great Father’s Day everyone!

It’s been a long year and I’m more than ready for summer! I’m sure teacher’s feel like it’s been a long year too. What a great job to have–they get a summer break too!

When I was in elementary school, my mom and I would always make crafts during the last week of school to give to my teachers as thank you gifts. We would never spend a lot of money on it, but it was always fun to make creative gifts together and bring to my teacher the next day at school.

I found a great, creative, DIY gift that I wish we would’ve thought of when I was younger. This can be made with Swedish Fish (if you don’t know what that is, it’s a gummy candy, available in the boxed candy section of the store), markers, and ribbon. You can write “you are ‘oFISHally’ the best”. It’s a quirky way to say thank you. Use the ribbon to tie the note on the candy and there you go!
