Teach Me Thursday – Father's Day


This Thursday we’re going to feature Father’s Day tutorials. I’ve found some great ones and I hope you’ll be inspired to make one of them for your man. Enjoy!

Cooking: Check out these bacon placemats! I know my man would love this for breakfast on his special day.

Design: Monogram Momma made an easy tutorial on how to monogram ties, using a chain stitch.

Marie makes picture e-mail cards. She makes signs for the occasion, takes pictures of the kids, then e-mails them. What a great idea! What dad wouldn’t appreciate this at work the Friday before Father’s Day.

One of my amazing friends’ husbands, Jordi, did this for Mother’s Day. He took a picture of each child holding a blank sheet of paper, made the picture black and white, added a message on the paper, and had each picture framed. He hung them on the wall in a row for Mother’s Day and they were all ready when Diana came down for breakfast that morning.

This was years ago, but I still haven’t forgotten it! You could do this same sort of think for your man’s desk at work. Maybe you could sneak in during his lunch break.

Gift Idea: Melanie has come up with a great gift idea, an iPod holder!

Scrap Craft: Over at Splitcoast Stampers they have some great tutorials. Here’s a CD Case you can make for honey along with that mix CD.

Scrap Craft: Take a look a this wallet tutorial from Nichole Heady! Here are some of her suggestions on what to put in the wallet:

  • A mini album with pictures of his children/grandchildren
  • Coupons for personal services from you, like having the lawn mowed or a rain check for a special outing
  • Gift card to his favorite restaurant or store
  • A special handwritten note from a child
  • An appointment card for a nice massage at the local spa

Sewing: Jessica made a tutorial for a passport sleeve. What a creative idea!

Sewing: Katie made this wallet out of a leather skirt.

Thanks Ladies these are great! If you don’t already have a “I’ve been Featured” button, feel free to copy the code and wear it proudly on your blog.

If any of you have taken the time to post a tutorial e-mail me and I’ll feature it!

    my husband would go to cloud 9 if I made him a bacon place mat! Sadly…the stuff makes me sick to touch/smell. Maybe I will sacrifice my stomach for my husband…

    Hi, there. I would suggest you continue writing more posts, this would make your blog even more interesting, plus I guess you will get more visitors.

    When you are in uncomfortable position and have got no cash to get out from that, you would have to receive the loans. Because that would aid you for sure. I take sba loan every year and feel great just because of it.
