I had several ideas for this, but tried to limit myself to supplies at home. One of my goals is to use more supplies that I already own and buy fewer new supplies. Try to hold me accountable to that blog readers!
In the end, I used some scrabble letters I had from a game we no longer needed (when I got married, we ended up with two scrabble sets). My dad LOVES scrabble and is quite the competitive fiend about it. I thought it would be fun to make something useful and thoughtful by creating a personalized scorepad. I glued the letters onto the bottom of a clip-board we had and tied a pen onto it with ribbon.
Easy and cute! You could also easily make one and write something like "Score" on it, but I thought this saying was more appropriate for father's day and would give the freedom to use the clipboard for something else if need be.

ReplyDeleteFun project! I was just at a showing of new homes (called Homearama) and decorators designed a room around a scrabble theme with very large letter tiles glued on the walls and a few letter pillows on the couch and chairs.
