Father’s Day Blog Hop – DIY Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day Blog Hop – DIY Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Hello and welcome to our 3-day Father’s Day Blog Hop.  I am excited, as this is our first ever blog hop at Simply Crafty SVGS!  At each hop, inspiration from our Design Team is sure to provide some Father’s Day inspiration or perhaps just some ideas for future projects!

Since this is the first stop in the Blog Hop, let’s get started with a Father’s Day 3D Side by Side UTV box.

The Side by Side UTV SVG comes with square flags, but I wanted something different for this box. So, I created 2 triangular flags you often see on 4WD toys.  This is easy to create within any software with basic shapes. I used triangles to make the flags with a union command from the software I was using, eCal 2. I used the Print2Cut feature to add the text.  I cut and painted 2 skewers (like you get in the dollar store) black to wrap the flags around.

I also created the Happy Father’s Day label using Print2Cut in eCal 2, which is similar to the Print and Cut features in other software, like Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio. Then a melted perler bead, compliments my crafty sister, to the middle of the steering wheel, for the horn. A few black rhinestones form the middle of the tires.

I wanted to break up the color in the back, so I added a strip of black and white striped washi tape.  I used white glitter cardstock for the front headlights and metallic red cardstock for the back lights.

As you can see, the back open up for a place to add a gift card or some Father’s Day goodies!

So excited.  I was asked to be a guest designer over at Simply Crafty SVGs and also on facebook at Simply Crafty SVGs.  What a great honor.  I love the files that this site has and the owner Sandy is a fabulous designer.  Her design team is top notch.  Their examples with Simply Crafty SVGs 3D files are beautiful.  Please go on over and say hello and look around.

So for my project I wanted to make something for Bobs birthday which is in a couple of weeks.  Bob is a machinist.  We own a machine shop and he is in high demand.  So the file I chose is a 3D Tool Box.  It looks just like the 4 that we have in the shop.  This one is able to be filled with what ever you want.  It has a top section and a lower section.  I used standard cardstock and my ATG gun.  I think I will go to a candy store and look around.  Might be able to put some saltwater taffy in the bottom.  So here is how my Simply Crafty SVGs 3D Tool Box Turned out.
