Father’s<br />
Day Gift<br />
Holder<br />
Dads and father<br />
figures don’t always<br />
want much fuss.<br />
But this year why<br />
not make a special<br />
handmade gift<br />
holder to display<br />
his favourite bottle<br />
of beer and snack.<br />
YOU WILL NEED<br />
Empty circular crisp tube<br />
2 x A4 thin red card (or a<br />
colour of your choice)<br />
Coloured string<br />
Decoupage<br />
Strong glue & foam pads<br />
Craft knife & hole punch<br />
Pencil & red marker pen (or same<br />
colour of your card)<br />
1 piece of cardboard<br />
Gift of your choice<br />
METHOD<br />
1. Measure 3.5-inches up from<br />
the bottom of the container and<br />
make a pencil mark on the righthand<br />
side. Measure 5 inches from<br />
the bottom on the left side and<br />
mark.<br />
2. Using your string, wrap<br />
around diagonally from the 3.5”<br />
mark to the 5” mark and draw a line<br />
using this as a guide.<br />
3. Using a craft knife or scissors,<br />
carefully cut along the line. You<br />
should now have two halves the<br />
same size. Trim down if one is<br />
taller than the other and neaten the<br />
edges with scissors.<br />
4. Place the tallest sides<br />
together in the middle and punch<br />
a hole half an inch down at the<br />
highest point.<br />
5. Cut two pieces of red card<br />
5.1/4” x 11.1/2”. Use these to cover<br />
each container using double sided<br />
tape.<br />
6. Place foam pads between the<br />
two to stick together. Use your red<br />
marker pen to disguise the white<br />
edges.<br />
7. Cut a piece of string to form a<br />
handle through the two holes.<br />
8. Draw around the bottom of<br />
both sides onto thick cardboard<br />
and glue in place.<br />
9. Glue coloured string around<br />
the top edges.<br />
10. Make up your decoupage<br />
and put in place.<br />
11. Add a sentiment and place<br />
your gifts inside.<br />
Your Father’s Day Gift Holder is<br />
now complete.<br />
