Father’s Day is this Sunday, but don’t worry. If you’re still looking for a gift that you can give to Dad, we’ve got a solution that doesn’t cost much, is easy to assemble and is fun to both give and receive.
Let Dad know how you feel about him with a “Nuts for Dad” jar.
You’ll need:
- A clean, glass jar (we used a gravy jar that we removed the label from and washed/dried thoroughly
- Paint & paintbrush (any color – this is for the jar lid)
- Letter stickers (any style and color in a size that is proportional to the jar you are using)
- Nuts – cashews, peanuts, mixed nuts … whatever Dad would like to fill his jar!
The steps:
- If necessary, clean your jar well and remove any labels.
- Paint the lid of the jar in the color of your choice. This is mostly necessary if you are recycling a jar from a kitchen product. Otherwise Dad might think he’s getting spaghetti sauce! Let the lid dry completely.
- With your stickers, spell our “Nuts for Dad” on the front of the jar. We used the number “4”instead of the letters just to make it a little more fun.
- Fill the jar with a variety of nuts.
Present the gift to Dad to let him know how crazy you are about him!
(Note: This gift could easily be customized for Grandpa, Uncle or any other father figure. Simply change the name on the front of the jar.)
