How to Make a Father's Day Tie Garland

Your dad is just as important as your mom. So Father's Day shouldn't be treated any less. Surprise him the moment he walks into a room with a tie garland. I got inspired by Amanda's Parties TO GO version and had to give it a go. It surely is tie-rific! Your dad will be bombarded with Father’s Day love! Use his favorite colors or patterns. You can use anything from wrapping paper to scrapbook paper or even newspaper! This is an easy and colorful craft that the whole family can work on together. When daddy isn't looking that is.

Think of all the things you wouldn't know without your father's unsurpassable knowledge. From teaching you to tie your shoes to knowing when to stand up or walk away. He taught you how to ride your first bike without the training wheels. He bought your first baseball mitt and you played catch until the sun went down.

He cracks you up with hilarious jokes no one has ever heard of and grills the best cheeseburgers in the land! He's the guy who will paint his fingernails bright pink and turn those very fingers into a fist, if ever, danger calls. He's your Superman!

Father's Day is about praising our fathers, uncles, grandfathers, or even brothers who have taken on papa roles. They made us who we are today and will always be our knights in shinning armor.
