  • Clothes pins with springs


Instructions:

On the front of the bag, in the center, place your "Happy Father's Day" sticker. Then randomly place the hobby stickers around it.

Wrap both handles of the gift bag with rick rack.

Use the alphabet beads to spell your Dad's name or you may just spell out "Happy Father's Day" whatever you would like. Thread the beads onto the black cord and glue the cord ends on each side of the gift bag.

Glue two rows of the rick rack around the top of the bag and you may want to glue some to the bottom edge of the bag. That is up to you to decide. Use the clothes pins to hold the rick rack in place until it dries.

Use the tissue paper to cover your gift when you place it in the gift bag.

This Father's Day Craft idea is sure to be a hit with Dad. He will treasure this special handmade gift for many years.
