DIY for father’s DaY: Bowtie & Necktie Gift wrapby BerinMade Illustrated Paper GoodsFather’s Day is right around the corner. Whether your dad is a necktie or bowtie kind of dad, treat him to a quirkily wrapped present complete with his favourite tie- it’s so easy to make and also has a secret pocket compartment for your gift message!

maY 7th – June 1st, 2012 18

First gather your materials —1. Paints to make your patterned tie2. Cork to stamp polka dots, brush

to do stripes3. Wrapped present4. Double sided tape5. Scissors6. Coloured card

Step 1 —Paint/Make your patterned paper for the ties. I did this by either stamping a wine cork with gold gouache to make polka dots, or simply running a paint brush on the paper to make stripes.

Step 2 —Measure out the dimensions of your shirt.The height should be equal to the length of your present, and the width should be two times the width plus two times the thickness of the present. An easy way to do this is just to wrap the coloured card around the present, estimating where it will meet in the middle, then cutting off any excess bits.Use double-sided tape to secure the present right in the middle of the paper. Use doublesided tape also for the front panels of the shirt. Leave about 2 inches of the panels loose as it will be folded down to make the collar.Make a small mark to indicate the fold of the collar, and make sure that the two folds touch in the middle.

Step 3 — Using the same coloured card, measure out a rectangular piece for the shirt pocket. Fold thetop of the pocket into itself to recreate the look of a hem, secure with double-sided tape.Then use double-sided tape to stick down the pocket onto the shirt.

Step 4 —Make the ties.To make the ties, follow these simple origami video tutorials for bowties and neckties.

Secure the ties onto the shirt with double-sided tape. Necktie is tucked under the collar, anda bowtie goes over the collar.Finally, cut out your secret message gift tag with contrasting paper, write your message, andslip it into the shirt pocket!

Step 5 — Give your beautifully wrapped gift to a Father in your life!
