Father's Day DIY by Indie Berries

I *love* Che's blog over at Indie Berries. It is too cool! I am definitely doing this with Noah and Benjamin on Friday (Miriam has the day off, so we're going all artsy-craftsy at my house! Here's how, via Che. If you share this, here is the link to the original post:

"I'm sharing a little Father's Day DIY that I did with Warr's little nieces who I have been baby-sitting for the past week or so.

What you will need to make the Father's Day Golfing-Green for dad to practice his putting skills -


Paper Cup
Big Piece of Cardboard
Old Newspaper
Flour
Water
Green Paint and paintbrushes
Skewer stick
Paper and Crayons

To make a paper-mache paste - you can mix one part flour to two parts water. Some recipes add a teaspoon of salt to prevent molding. The consistency should be thick but still quite runny and free from any lumps. We used two tablespoons of flour and then added water slowly. We then made a second batch of mache-glue when the first was finished. Take your newspaper and cut or tear it into long strips - this is quite fun for little kids to do. haha. Dip the long newspaper strips into the flour-paste and rub off any excess paste. Smear the newspaper onto the board until you have made a big slope into the cup.

You can make a triangle flag by cutting out a big diamond shape and folding it over a skewer stick and gluing the flaps together. Make sure you colour/draw on the paper before you stick it to the skewer stick. If your kids are old enough you could have then draw golf-clubs or golf balls or write a Father's Day message."

Have a look at Che's blog for THE funniest cartoons and crafts ideas too. She is planning a wedding right now, if you're in to that sort of thing (who isn't?)
