Father's Day gift!

I've been teaching classes at my local scrapbook and stamping shop, Bayer's Pampered Stampers, since she took the shop over in December. Melissa has done a great job with the shop! It's beautiful! Since I'm a teacher in real life, Melissa asked me to each classes for kids! I was very excited! I did a Valentine's Day card class, an Easter card class, a Mother's day gift (which will be another post) and then this Saturday I will be teaching a class to make a Father's day Card and gift! It's going to be great fun!

I took a metal bucket (found at Crafts 2000/ Pat Catan's) and decided I would decorate that and fill it with something great for dad. I used paper from my favorite company, which is also locally owned and run, Tada Creative Studios to punch out squares. I used 2 different sized squares to add variety to the design. Then I used glue dots to glue the squares on to the bucket. My mom and I had trouble trying to find an adhesive that would hold the squares onto the bucket, and surprisingly enough, Glue Dots worked really well!

Then I used paper from Lasting Impressions to create the label on the front. I used the Labels Collection die cuts from Stampin' Up! and my Tim Holtz Vagabond to make the Label.

 I then decided to have the kids make a key chain for Dad as well. Melissa's husband owns the wood shop next door to the store so we get to use all these really cool wood products! I used my Tim Holtz Distress markers to color onto of the wood. Then I used the Picket Fence colored marker to write on top of the colored part. I used my Crop - A - Dile to punch out a hole in the corner and a key ring to slide through it! Dads will love this homemade key chain!

I decided to fill the bucket with candy. You can always fill it with whatever you wanted! This will be a great Father's day gift for a kid to give their dad! Since my dad watched me make this, I have to figure something else out! ;]

Hope you liked this project as much as I did!

Peace, Love, and God's Blessing,
