The newsagent across the road takes off all the free gifts from all the unsold children's comics and then sells them for 30p each or 4 for £1 and I have found some really brilliant bits and piece for crafting with, because of their size they are perfect.
…. and so whenever I see tool sets in his box I snaffle them up as fast as I can ….. because the first thing that comes into my head are Dads and Father’s Day!
All I have done is cut tag shapes from a fine corrugated Kraft card (I used my last sheet for this idea and now don’t have a clue where I can find any more).
I have stuck the tools down with E600 glue, a glue recommended to me by Marc because it is really strong and can be used with so many materials.
And finally I’ve used my faithful Dymo labeller for the wording. A few silver stars here and there bring everything together. Done and dusted!
