Father’s Day is coming soon; I have the best (and simplest) (and easiest) (and cutest) idea for you.
I tend to lean towards consumable items for non-birthday gifts. As a non-stuff person, I like the idea the gift won’t take up space for too long. I like to make things, people like to eat and drink; I’m happy, they’re happy. These bow-tied root beers are just perfect – a consumable gift with a handmade touch.
The inspiration for this project came from this image; the polka dots did me in. I used IBC Root Beer mostly for its subtly branded bottle. And its red lid. :) However, I also fixed up a pack of pale ale for MJ and they look just as snazzy. The ties work on anything.
Supplies:
-bow tie pasta
-paint
-bottles
-hot gun
Paint the pasta. Make some cute bow ties. Allow them to dry completely.
Use a dot of hot glue and attach the ties to the bottle.
Give to Dad. (Smile at the delightfulness.)
This is the cutest!!
What kind of paint is the best? Spray paint? Or a brush?
Love this post! Such a great diy present. Just featured it in my “10 Father’s Day DIY Gift Ideas” post. http://www.thebeautydojo.com/10-fathers-day-diy-gift-ideas/
Thanks Andrea!!
What kind of paint would work? Thanks!
I used acrylic paints, Martha Stewart brand specifically. Good luck!
To make the bowties, did you just use a paintbrush and some acrylic paint? Does it matter what kind, like heavy body vs fluid?
