Happy Dad Day Gift Topper

Made this little gift topper out of washers and a bolt from the garage!  Super fun and cute. All you need is a hammer and a stamping set.  I got mine off of Amazon but I know they sell them at Harbor Freight for about five dollars.

Important Tips!
-Don't try this inside.  Too easy to damage something (like your floors or table).
-I found hammering on the concrete was the easiest.
-Place a cutting or self healing mat under your washer to prevent the concrete from scratching or indenting the backside of your washer

Happy Dad Day!

Popcicle Stick Puzzles

I made these for a Toddler Grab Bag Swap. They are easy to make, fabulously inexpensive, and so much fun I made more than I needed for the Swap.

Materials:

• Popsicle sticks (large are better for toddlers)
• Old magazines
• Glue (I liked the glue stick best)
  
• Scissors
  
• Tape (I used blue painter tape)
• Xacto knife

Step 1 - Find colorful pictures and cute them out. I found this owl, isn't he cute?!

Step 2 - Prepare your popsicle sticks. Line up the appropriate amount of

sticks for your picture and place some blue tape to hold them together.

Step 3 - Paste your picture. I found that glue stick ALL OVER your picture works best. I also placed an

outline in regular Elmer's glue just for good measure. Now sit back and let it DRY.

Step 4 - Cut it up. Take an Xacto knife and run it down the edge of each stick.

Step 5 - Remove tape and have FUN!
