Father's Day Card

Once Apon a Holiday has a very cute Father's Day card idea:


My son brought this darling card home from school for Father's Day a few years ago.

You open it up and there is plenty of room to write dad a sweet note.

This card was actually really quick and simple to make. All you need is an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of typing paper for the shirt and a scrap of paper for the tie.

Fold each side in to the middle.

Open up the page and fold in the bottom corners.

Fold bottom up (at the top of where the bottom corners were folded in). Slightly open back up the bottom fold. Fold area above the fold at an angle and push straight edge of first bottom corner folds out to form a point (it will be the shirt sleeve).

It should look like this when finished.

Now for the tie. Cut a tie shape about 5 3/4" long by 3/4" wide and the top to 1" wide at the bottom.
