tie Archives – The Pinterested Parent

Star Wars mania has hit my house. The premiere of the new movie is less than a week away and I can’t wait. My husband & I are already planning our Star Wars date night. My daughter is not that much into Star Wars yet, but she is still always willing to help me with a craft, no matter what it may be.

Tie Interceptor

What you will need:

2 Paper bowls

2 sections of egg carton cups

2 sections of egg carton pointed

2 long narrow pieces of cardboard about 14″ long

Gray or silver paint

Black & Silver markers

Glue gun

Wooden skewer

Directions:

Cut your egg carton & cardboard pieces.

Glue the two paper bowls together with the wooden skewer centered in the middle.

Paint all of your pieces. I removed the skewer so that my daughter could paint & not poke herself. (Notice her festive attire. She has been in her holiday dress the whole weekend. She loves being Mrs. Claus.)

Let all the pieces dry. Draw the windows of interceptor with black & silver markers in the center of the bowl.

I slid the skewer back through & the cut two slits into the egg carton pieces & slid it through. Use a glue gun to secure the egg carton in place & do this to the opposite end as well.

Next glue the pointed egg carton end to the center of the cardboard pieces. Bend the cardboard on both ends at about 5″ in. Use a bead of glue in the crease to keep the bend formed.

Squeeze glue into the hole at the top of the pointed egg carton section. Add glue to the top of the section and onto the skewer.

Let the glue dry.

My daughter does not like Star Wars, but did still have fun flying our new interceptor around.

My daughter is very much her father’s little girl. Not only does she adore him, she looks like him & she acts like him too. There are traces of me in there too, but for the most part she is daddy’s girl. From those beautiful blue eyes & dimples to the way she has to arrange her Fruit Loops by color she is her father through & through.
Yesterday was Father’s Day & Mai had made a special gift for her #1 guy.

This was a cute & easy project for my little one. All you need is a inexpensive white tie, fabric markers, duct tape or masking tape & a pair of scissors.

With a marker draw out your letters one at a time on a piece of the masking or duct tape.

Place the letters on the tie. Make sure they are flat & pressed firmly.

Using fabric markers, let your little Picasso go to work coloring the tie.

Watch her demonstrate why she is just like her father by lining up all the marker caps in a row.

Remove the letters slowly. If as you are removing them you see that the letter isn’t properly formed, replace it & give it a little bit of an outline.

After it is complete, put in the dryer on high heat for about 5 minutes for the marker to set.

Give Daddy your present & a kiss.

Mai was very proud of her homemade gift & daddy loved it. I hope all the Father’s out there had a wonderful Father’s Day.
