So the kids want to make something special for dad this father’s day. He’s got enough mugs and T-shirts, so how about making something that dad can use around the house. I found this mini-first aid kit in the travel section of a discount department store for only 99 cents. It had everything needed for a minor mishap in the garage or workshop. For just a few pennies more kids can easily personalize it for Dad’s day.
You will need:
Mini first aid kit (mine was 3” x 4”)
Pieces of brown embossed felt
Precut felt or foam letters
Tacky Glue
Scissors, pencil
1. Measure the top of the box and cut out a piece of felt to fit. Trim if necessary. It looks nice if there is a tiny margin around the edges.
2. Spread a generous amount of glue onto the top of the box and attach the piece of felt.
3. Glue the letters of your choice on top. Here is where you can get creative. If your letters are small enough and don’t interfere with the box closing you can even attach letters along the sides.
Hint: If you have teeny, tiny band-aids lying around that are always too small to use for anything, they look cool glued to the top of the box.
Great idea, I am sure every Dad would love this, made special for him by his kids!
ReplyDeleteSuper idea......I know my hubby is always getting hurt when he's working in the garage. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so full of bright ideas, Crystal!
ReplyDeleteYou did it again. What a clever idea and it looks like something kids would really enjoy making and fathers receiving.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute idea. my husband always needs one of these...he's on his mtn bike whenever he's not working! always getting cut up! cute one
ReplyDeletePersonally I like the gift that my son has had to work them in and purchased. Ultimately bought out if I can buy it personally. But his work and effort jo no, because it is yours alone. In this way gives you your own personal thing.
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea Crystal! Thanks ;o)
ReplyDeleteAlso a good craft for Sunday School class Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Great project - cool gift and reusable little box! (I use mine to stash watercolor crayons)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! Dad's day will be before you know it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful gift. This is a great way to show your love with your father.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent article about first aid. Actually we need to set a trend to keep first aid kit with us in our conveniences, houses and offices.
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome. I didn't know they even offered these type of products. I will need to find out if they do this in my area. Thanks for sharing.
