Honey Do Belt

What more does a husband need other than a list from you! I have had so much success selling my "Daddy Tool belts" that I decided to give these a try. I know Ryan hates summer because his "honey do" list keeps expanding as the weather gets warmer!

These belts are really simple to make, if you have the right supplies. I use my T-Shirt Marker program to make the iron-on on the belt. I bought this program about 2 years ago at Office Depot for $20 and I make all kinds of things with it. It's a great investment if you want to make your own printed shirts. I got my canvas waist aprons at Oriental Trading, but I think you can find them at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. I got all of my stuffers at the Dollar Tree

Supplies:
canvas waist apron
iron-on transfer "Hubby's Honey Do Belt"
screwdriver
work gloves
tape measure
paint brush
carpenter's pencil (Home Depot or Lowe's)
picture hanging kit
card stock
safety pin

1.Prepare transfer and transfer onto apron.
2. Using card stock, make a card with emergency numbers (I used Publisher).

3. Arrange items in pockets of apron.
4. Attach emergency card with safety pin to apron.

My Only Hole-In-One

I have a lot of golf balls, so I have been inspired to do some golf related crafts. This is a really fun plaque to give to the golfer in your life.

Supplies:

Wooden, square plaque
wooden #1
2 doll pin stands
2 golf balls
picture wire and tacks
green paint(I used Kelly and Hunter)
drill
hot glue gun
card stock

1. Paint plaque and doll pin stands with darker green.
2. Paint #1 with lighter green.
3. Drill a hole through the #1.
4. Attach wire and hanger on back of plaque.
5. Glue doll pin stands and #1 to plaque.
6. Glue golf balls to doll pin stands.
7. Make and print out sign "The Only Hole-In-One I've Ever Had" on card stock. Cut out.
8. Glue sign to plaque.


I found that hot glue worked much better than E-6000 glue. Also, if you can decorative paint, just paint the sign right on the plaque.

Golf Ball Lamp

Here is something I made from my Jar Lamp. I filled it golf balls, tees, pencils, and green paper shreds.






This would make a nice gift for Father's Day!

Coin Bank for Dad

I think this would make a cute gift from the kids to dad or even grandpa for Father's Day!

I saw the saying somewhere on the web (cannot remember where)but there was no pictures or directions. I used my own creative ideas and came up with this bank. It's cheap, easy and cute!


Supplies:
Large soup can, washed
awl
hammer
soup can template
double sided tape
needle nose pliers

1. Make your template with any designs using your favorite graphics program. I used Microsoft Publisher. You can do this in word if you do not have any graphic programs.



2. Cut out template and using double sided tape, adhere to can.

3. Using the awl and hammer, make a slot for the coins to be inserted in the lid. Use the pliers to help "clean up" the slot and bend any metal to the underside of the lid.

4. Put lid back on can and give to dad. I didn't use any glue so the lid can come off and on. It holds on pretty tight without any glue.

Just For Men

Just for men; a soothing soak for tired and achy feet. Well, it's not really "just for men", but it does make it sound more manly. Ryan tried this over the weekend and loved it! His feet were killing him from being on a ladder all day doing the siding. He soaked his feet for about a half of a hour and said they felt great.

I think I have about a $1 invested in the soak, including the jar. This would make a really nice gift for Dad for Father's Day. Or, even Mom for Mother's Day.

Supplies:
1/2 c. Epsom salt
1 chamomile tea bag
1 peppermint tea bag
5 drop blue food coloring, optional
decorative jar with sealing lid

If using, mix food coloring with salt. Open both tea bags and add to salts. Mix well and pour into jar. To use: add entire jar to hot water foot bath.

Chamomile has many healing properties as does peppermint. Chamomile promotes relaxation, alleviate stress and relieves pain, while peppermint is a muscle relaxant and helps manage stress.

Photo Tile Coasters

These are really neat coasters! You can print any image you like on them! Just think what a nice Mother's Day or Father's Day gift these coasters would make with your special photos on them! Only one word of advice before you begin, they are very addicting!!!



There is a really good tutorial at .Split Coast Stampers on how to make them. I followed these directions with no problems. I am not a stamper, nor do I own any stamps, so I did not stamp anything under my image. I also allowed the picture to wrap over the sides instead of centering my picture, otherwise I followed each step. I chose to print my pictures in Sepia tone, but you could use color or black and white also.

I got my tiles at Lowe's. They came in a box of 9 for about $4.00. Make sure your box says "Tumbled Marbled Tiles." I thought I had the right tiles at first, then I saw what I did need. I think there was 3 different colors of the tiles.




The first photo is an angel Ryan and I spotted at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. The second picture is the Harding Memorial in Marion, Ohio.

Photo Paperweight

I don't think crafts get any easier than this!! I bought the photo paperweight at the Dollar Tree, in the frame aisle. All you do is take the bottom off and you can add your own photo. This would make a nice gift for mom on Mother's Day or even dad for Father's Day!!

For this paperweight, I just cut a pretty piece of material to fit inside the weight. You could use a photo, material, glitter, paper, stickers, or anything! The best of all, you only have $1.00 invested in each one!!
