Looking for something Dad can wear with pride on Father's Day and then display forever on their review mirror?! THIS IS IT, friends! :)

This is a throwback to covid times, when creating outside was the only way to do it! I have such fond memories of this Father's Day event, because it was my first Art Stadium event ever. THE VERY FIRST! I didn't know if anyone would even come, but was delightfully busy the entire time with happy moms and artists. It lit me up and set the stage for more to come <3

WHAT YOU NEED:

cereal boxes
gold acrylic paint
hot glue
gold pipecleaners
single hole punch
string
beads
washi tape, markers, stamps, foam stickers

HOW TO MAKE:

I prepared a trophy template (just haphazard, by hand!), which I used to trace onto cereal boxes. After cutting the trophy shapes out, I painted them all with gold paint.
Add two trophy "handles" using pipecleaners. These are best secured with hot glue.
Punch a hole in the top of the trophy.
Thread a string through the hole. I like to loop and pull through.
Your work is done! It's time for the kids to get involved :) Offer various materials for artists to decorate their trophies for their special person.
