Father's day crafts

[danstar]

We have just celebrated mother's day here in Australia and will celebrate father's day in September (I think we celebrate it at a different time than the USA). Does anyone have any ideas of some crafts to make for my son's fathers day stall? I made card packs and post it note holders for the mother's day stall, but am a bit stuck on what I could make for dads!

I ran (or helped run) Fathers Day stalls at my kids' school in Brisbane for many years. They are VERY hard to craft for, but some ideas are: Fathers' Day Cards, Heat Wheat Bags, Handmade Chocolates (either in plastic bags or coffee mugs), magnets (especially on wooden clothes pegs with 'masculine' papers), sewn BBQ aprons. That's all I can think of right now. We ended up purchasing ready-made items to resell for most of it.

Let me know if you want more detail or ideas on pricing/sourcing products.

Maybe make decorated bags or jars with jellybeans or M and M's in the colours of the main football, basketball, soccer teams, etc. Photo frames or notebooks with a nautical or sport theme might be suitable, too. HTH! Good luck with it!

Just remembered a couple more - bookmarks (usually laminated), decoupaged soap (cut small pictures out of giftwrap and put onto soap with mod podge). Plain giftbags simply decorated have been popular lately. Photo frames with one of those painted wooden shapes glued on, eg car, fish or maybe rub-ons. I think Kaisercraft probably have masculine rub-ons that would suit.
