Make Your Own Shirt and Tie Card Out of Newspaper

Have fun making dad (or any male) his own card! Check out what you can do with shirt and tie art as a theme:

Materials:

Paper - construction or any solid papers (8.5 x 11)
Newspaper (photographed here is the stock market section)
Markers
Glue (or could use glue stick of papers)
Scissors (along with adult supervision)
Optional: beads or sequins to glue on tie for detail
Optional: small flowers from outside or a silk or dried flower
Optional: 6x9 envelope

Directions:

Glue a half sheet of solid paper (white used here) to back of newspaper. Cut out a rectangular shape (can angle in sides as shown). Cut a slit (approx. 2" or so) from the top and fold down to expose the solid color and create a shirt collar look. Fold an 8.5 x 11 sheet of construciton paper in half and glue the newspaper shirt to it. Cut a piece of construction paper in the shape of a tie and glue to shirt. Cut a square out of a solid piece of paper and glue to shirt as the pocket. Use a marker to create the stitching. Before the glue dries, stick a flower in the pocket. Decorate the tie with beads and/orsequins or just color in. Finally, write a message at the top!

Cards would be wonderful for Father's Day, Birthdays, or any other special occasion.
