Printed
Memo Blocks
Transform
a purchased block of memo paper or Post-It Notes into a personalized
creation using an inkpad and some stamps! Simply stamp images on the
sides of the block as shown.
You
could also make your own memo blocks with paper and notepad
adhesive. Purchase a notepad adhesive and clamp from The
Crafty PC.
Photo
Business Card Holder
This simple gift
can be easily made by any child over 6 years old. He needs a photo of
himself, an empty cassette holder, double sided sticky tape, a glue
stick, some cardstock paper and a scissors.
For directions
and a photo, see the Making
Friends website.
Barbecue
Grill Cake
A chocolate cake

shish-kabobs? Find out how by visiting the Hershey's

Mom will need to help with this one, but the kids can certainly decorate
the cake!
Hand
decorated pen made with Fimo Clay
What Dad wouldn't
be proud to show off and use a ballpoint pen that his kids have hand
decorated? It's relatively simple to do with Fimo clay and
pre-made Millefiori cane. Find out how to make them by clicking on
this link:

Coasters
 Dad
is probably tired of having water-stains and other marks on his desk at
work. A coaster could prevent that problem--but not just any
coaster! How about a coaster that features his son or daughter?
The
Crafty PC
sells clear acrylic coasters that can be turned into a simple, yet
useful gift by simply slipping a child's photo in the bottom of the
coaster. Cost for the coaster: just $2.50.
