For our second feature today, Erin is sharing a Father’s Day Card & Gift Set:

Erin here, summer season is coming and it’s time to think about giving those special Fathers in our lives a gift to say thanks. My project today take a set of bbq tools, gifted to me by my insurance agent, and gives them the ribbon treatment to create a unique Father’s Day present.

To start with get some basic bbq tools, May Arts burlap ribbon and burlap string, scor-tape and some scissors. Start by adhering a layer of scor-tape to the base of the tool and then wrap the burlap around it twice, adding an additional layer of tape to each layer. Next lay down a smaller section of tape (the burlap is 4 inches wide, so I’d recommend somewhere between 2 ½ inches to 3 inches of tape. Start the burlap string on one end and wrap around the tool until you cover the section of tape. If you didn’t want to use as much string, I’d recommend a smaller section of tape. Finally tie the string in a knot and hide under one of the many strands, tucking in the loose end.

No gift is complete without a card! For this card I took pieces from the Authentique Strong set, May Arts woven burlap ribbon, burlap string, distress stain and some stamps. Start by cutting your patterned paper into pieces and finding the right accessories from the paper set. Add some white stain to the kraft piece of paper and stamp the postmark details before adhering the ribbon pieces to the card stock. Assemble the pieces together, using a few foam dots to gibe a bit more dimension to the card.

To complete the project create a coordinating tag and wrap the bbq tools together with tie it all together with the woven burlap ribbon in a square knot.
