CRAFT SPECIAL: Dad's Day Craft – Make a Memory Mug!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Instant Pinspiration: DIY prezzies for Mother's Day
  • Craft a DIY flower crown in 6 easy steps
  • Dream on with a DIY dream board
Father's Day is next Sunday...eek! What are you gonna give dear ol' Dad to say thanks for cheering you on at all those soccer games, cooking you pancakes on the weekends or taking you to baseball games? Give him a presh li'l prezzie and remind him of all the good times when you make your own memory mug.
 
It's easy to do and super fun, too!

What You'll Need:
 

White coffee mug
Enamel paints – any colors you want

Paint brush
Mementos of you and your Dad – pics, concert tix, sea shells from a vacay

 

What You'll Do: 


1. Buy a new coffee mug, or use an old one – just make sure that it's clean and dry before you use it.

2. With the enamel paint, be creative and decorate the mug with all sorts of fun stuff. Write "I Love You, Dad," draw hearts, stars, and other patterns with all different colors. With a thinner paint brush, you can even do stick figures of you and your dad together, or write a longer message to him.

3. Once you're finished decorating, bake the mug in the oven at a low temp. See the directions on the enamel paint bottle for how long to bake it. You can also leave the mug out to dry, which can take a few days.

4. Once the mug is all dry, get ready to load the inside with all sorts of goodies for dear ol' Dad. Include funny pics, movie ticket stubs from your fave flicks, silly sayings that you two share and of course a little note about how much you love him! Another great idea? Slip in some coupons that entitle daddyo to some favors. Taking out the trash, doing dishes or making his fave dish will def put a smile on dad's face!

Hey Girl, try wearing your hair in a messy bun at night so its wavy in the morning, or you can always try some big curlers to sleep in. *Cara T*

MOD!
My bgf like me. And I like him too. But ever since band started back up on monday and he is seein his other friends he hasnt been talkin to me. He is makin me really upset. And when we do talk he takes forever to respond to a txt and then lies to me about havin to go to bed or leavin and will talk to my BFF for hours after that. And it doesnt help that she flirts with him and doesnt like him, when I do. My BGF is a year older than me and IK he has other friends but is it bad that he is treatin me like this? I have cried myself to sleep for 3 nights cause its drivin me nuts. Please help! Srry it was so long.




Hey girl,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Guys are way complicated sometimes, huh? The best way to deal with him is to talk to him about it. Don't assume he's out to hurt you (I doubt he is)--he may honestly be busy. Ask him what's up, you may be surprised what his answer is. Hang in there. It'll all be alright!

xoxo
