This year really seems to be flying by! In just about a week, it will be Father’s Day and then shortly after that…the official start to summer.

When it comes to celebrating dad’s special day do you like to do something special? Do you like to give him store bought gifts or make something special for him?

For those of you who prefer handcrafted gifts and cards…we have a great craft project for you today that is pretty easy-to-make. The project is courtesy of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc.

Folded Shirt Father’s Day Card

8 1/2-by-14-inch decorative paper
Glue

Place paper face down. Fold in half vertically; unfold. Line up left edge with centerline fold, and crease; repeat with right edge. Unfold, and lay flat.

Fold top-left corner in to line up with outermost crease, forming a triangle; repeat on top-right corner. Using index fingers and thumbs, pinch together outside points of each triangle so they meet, and crease.
While still pinching triangles, fold down top edge (this will make sleeves).

Turn paper upside down, and flip it over. Fold down top edge 3/4 inch.
Flip paper over. Fold top left and right corners so tips meet at centerline.
Tuck bottom edge under collar, and flatten by creasing. For the tie, cut out an 8-by-1/2-inch strip of decorative paper. Knot paper. Snip close to knot on one side; trim other to a point. Glue to shirt.
