DIY Father's Day Gift Idea

29/8/2022

I have seen this done multiple times by DIYers online. Here is my version of a Father's Day flip book made from a deck of cards, a free PDF (see below) and some hinged rings (available from Officeworks). Just write and/or draw 52 things you love about your Dad. Here are some ideas to get you started:
His corny dad jokes
His quirky socks
How devoted he is to his family
Driving you to sports training
His awesome BBQ skills
His great taste in clothes
His great pancakes
His bear hugs
His ability to fix anything that's broken
His great listening skills
His love of 90s music
His passion for fishing
He is a good listener
His unconditional love
His ability to cheer you up when you're down
His funny stories about when he was a kid
He loves dogs
His great gardening skills
He always understands when you need a Maccas run
His love of Indian food...

I made a little hole punch guide so that the holes would be in the same spot on all the cards. (see image below).

A mini tag album would make a great gift (it's Mother's Day on Sunday). You can either use materials you have at home or Kmart has a range of well priced craft supplies.

Pom Pom Slippers

These are super cute and super easy. They would make a great gift idea for a friend, sister, mum or grandmother. I made mine in an evening using slippers from Target, a Kmart pom pom maker, and yarn from Spotlight. You can watch the Red Ted Art pom pom tutorial below.

Christmas Sugar Cookies

7/12/2021

I made these gorgeous Sugar cookies last week. They are cute and delicious. The deer shape was quite tricky but you could make Christmas trees, stars or other shaped cookies. They would also make a great homemade Christmas gift.

You can find the cookie recipe at https://www.lollipopcakesupplies.com.au and the icing recipe at https://www.recipetineats.com. Happy baking!

Earth friendly Gift Wrapping

14/9/2021

I have been trying to cut down on the amount of waste I generate. Even though I love wrapping paper, it is expensive and bad for the environment. Here are some alternatives that either reuse items around the house or are reusable. I have a box of recycled ribbons and string to decorate parcels.
