Along with the By the Dock Father's Day card, I also made the gentlemen residents of the Long Term Care Unit a little gift.
These "shirts" turned out so stinking cute, I sure hope the guys like them.
Here's a close-up of one of the shirts. Some of the shirts have a Pearl tie clasp and others have a fish hook. The Pearls are the largest of the Basic Pearl Jewels. The fish hook is from the Catch of the Day dies and was cut using a Gold Foil sheet. I used the Country Club Designer Series Paper, but any 12" x 12" sheet of cardstock would work. The ties and the collars are made with solid color cardstock. I found the easiest way to adhere the collars was to use Liquid Multipurpose glue.
The shirt is held shut with a 5/8" sticky back Velcro circle. The buttons are from the All Dress Up dies. The Take Your Pick tool worked great for getting the little button holes on the button punched out. The buttons were adhered onto the shirt using mini glue dots.
A peek at the inside of the gift bag. I used Tear and Tape Adhesive for all of the seams and on the bottom flaps to make sure it would hold together once I put the items in the bag.
These are all the small travel size.
As you can see, the original gift box was not tall enough to hold the items especially the Kleenex. The original gift box would be perfect for putting Dove chocolates or Hershey Kisses in. Below is the pattern, with the
measurements that I used.
The original pattern/template was created by Kristin Magee of Paper Crave.
Above is the gift box template with the enlarged box measurements, so that the box was tall enough to hold the package of Kleenex.
