Father’s Day Gift Idea

 Need a cute Father’s Day gift? I found this snack bowl idea and thought I would share it with you. Enjoy!

• First, paint a terracotta pot (5 1/2 inches tall is a good size) …..let it dry completely. (Spray paint works well for this.)

• Then, cut out a tie shape out of paper (here’s a pattern for mine if you need one). • Use your tie pattern piece to cut out a fabric tie piece and a felt tie piece.

• Sew the fabric tie to the felt tie, stitching right around the edges. (Use a big stitch length so that the two layers don’t shift so much.)

• Then, hot glue the tie right to your painted pot. • Then hot glue a styrofoam ball down in the bottom of your pot.

• Now, print out “Happy Father’s Day!” on cardstock, cut it out in a flag shape (if desired) and then glue it to the end of a shortened thin wooden dowel. Glue the message to the dowel.

• Stick the other end of the wooden dowel down into the styrofoam ball. • Then pour in the yummy treats.

It’s that simple! What Dad wouldn’t want his own homemade bucket full of his favorite treats?
