How to Make a Father’s Day Shirt Card

These shirt cards are so simple to put together that we ended up making two, one for dad and one for granddad.

As you can see, one template includes a tie, and the other one includes a bow. We decided to mix and match them by printing each one on a different colored paper.

Let your kids pick their favorite printer-friendly paper to make their cards; maybe they found the perfect pattern to make a Hawaiian shirt?

Below, you will find the materials and instructions we followed to make these shirt cards.

And if you prefer to learn by watching, there is also a video tutorial that will come in handy.
