Making a Tools for Father's Day Card

Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: one card

Supplies:

• printout of provided pattern sheet
• 8.6 x 6.3 inch piece cut from a 12" x 12" sand colored scrapbook cardstock
• 6.1 x 4.3 inch black sugar paper
• a piece cut from Kaisercraft Base Collection P1064 cork/wood scrapbook cardstock
• piece of aluminum foil
• small nail and portrait hook
• piece of string
• Artline 210 Fineliner black pen
• Elmer's Poster Tack
• pencil
• ruler
• pair of standard scissors
• quick-drying craft glue (such as Bostik Clear)

Steps:

1. Score the sand colored cardstock to create a card sized 6.3" x 4.3".
2. With the fold at the left, centre and glue the black sugar paper to the front of the card.
3. Cut the hammer's handle from the pattern sheet. Place it on the wooden side of the Kaisercraft cardstock, trace all around it with the pencil and cut out the handle. Cut the hammer head from the pattern sheet. Use a small piece of poster tack to secure the pattern to the foil. Carefully cut all around the pattern of the hammer head, and then remove the pattern, so that you will now be left with a hammer head made from foil. Glue the handle and head to the front of the card.
