Fathers Day Crafts-Here is a Unique Specialty Gift Wrapping for Fathers Day That Anyone Can do
Jul 19
Ok, so you have the Fathers Day gift, now what? Well why not incorporate some simple sports or hobby themed related items to your gift wrapping. In order words, try adding layers of interest to what would normally be considered a traditional gift wrapped box with a bow. This project will demonstrate how easily anyone can spice up a plain wrapped gift for Fathers Day that your loved one is sure to enjoy.
This project is all about the details. Not only are you creating visual interest, your also something that your one love can use after the gift is unwrapped.
You will need the following supplies:
Sports or hobby related gift wrapping paper – We chose one that has an antiqued look to it. 1 small bungee cord – Use a medium or large bungee cord for larger boxes or packages. Bungee cords come in a variety of colors and sizes. Coordinate the color of your bungee cord with the colors in your wrapping paper. 1 name tag – Store bought or you can make your own. Hole puncher Ribbon or cording – Choose a color that matches the colors in your gift wrapping. 1 decorative sports related item. Choose items that can be easily attached to the end of your bungee cord. You can purchase one at a party supply or craft store. Another idea would be to look at what you have in the garage or in the house. For example, your husband loves to play darts. You could buy a package of darts and attach one of them to the bungee cord. Scotch tape Scissors Sharpie pen
Steps 1 – Begin by measuring and cutting your themed wrapping paper. You can also use plain colored wrapping paper and stamp a sports or hobby related theme pattern on to your paper using different colored ink. In attempt to keep this project simple, I opted for a decorative single sheet store bought wrapping paper.
Step 2 – Wrap paper and secure with scotch tape.
Step 3 – Using your hole puncher, punch a hole out on the top of the name tag and address card using your sharpie pen. Set name tag aside.
Step 4 – Wrap bungee cord around the center of your box or package hooking the ends together.
Step 5 – Thread your ribbon or cording through the opening of your name tag and attach to the bungee hooks, and tie the ribbon at the back of the hook.
Step 6 – Attach a decorative theme related item to the other bungee cord hook by securing with ribbon or cording. Take care not to cover too much of the design of your sports or hobby related wrapping paper.

I have a 5 year old niece & a 3 year old nephew and I have no idea what to get them for Easter.
I’m thinking something smaller, like $10-20 each. They have MORE than enough toys and dolls, and they don’t watch a lot of TV. They like to do crafts with their mom, so if you can recommend some kind of craft kit that would work for those ages, that might work.

The human race has a unique relationship with stones. Some stones, such as diamonds, emeralds and rubies, carry a carat value that puts them out of reach of the pockets of ordinary people. Other stones are simply of the earth and significantly less expensive, yet no less beautiful.
The rocks and stones of Jerusalem have inspired some of the most compelling stories the World has ever seen and will probably continue to do so for another few thousand years. The stones that were used to build the ancient and holy city were taken from the hills outside Jerusalem and there is something about them that draws us, that compels us to touch and feel the same stones that saw some of the most dramatic events in the history of mankind.
As we approach yet another holiday season, the stones of Jerusalem may be given as a Christian gift to mark special friendships and a link with loved ones. In our troubled World there are few gifts that say all there is to say about the significance and importance of love and friendship but The Jerusalem Stone is both an inspirational Christian gift and a reminder of the Holy Land that may be kept close enough to touch.
The Jerusalem Stone is hand crafted in the Holy Land and small enough to be carried in a neat velour pouch, so it may be kept in a purse or pocket throughout the day. It may be purchased as a single stone or in a pack of two for friends to share or to give away to a special couple such as parents or grandparents; a wonderful holiday gift and one rich in meaning and affection.
Novelty gifts draw a smile and provide five minutes amusement but a Christian gift that enables us to carry the provenance of the Hold Land in our hands provides us with a lasting reminder of the importance of peace on earth; the eternal message of Christianity.
Our friends and family are the most important people in the World and yet we often give them perfunctory gifts over the season of good will; gifts that mean little and cost a lot. This year, why not give the people whom we love a present that means more than a few minutes entertainment? Give a Christian gift of The Jerusalem Stone; part of the hills of Jerusalem and a beautiful token of love and friendship.
