Description

A great project for kids to do for their dads, a new twist on getting him ties for dad's day!

Materials

• Sculpey
• Tie tack or Pin backs
• Hot glue

Scope and Sequence

Step 1 - Think of something fun that your dad would want to stick in his tie, like 'I love dad", or "best dad", or a drawing of you, or whatever. The tie tack should not be any larger than an inch, so it will not get in dad's way. Start with a base that is shaped like a disk or a dome, no thicker than 3/8 inch.

Step 2 - Add on the details, making sure you press them down so they stick. A good way to make letters is by rolling out very skinny snakes, and cutting them for each part of each letter. Remember to use colors that would go with your dad's clothes. He probably doesn't have a suit that would look good with a neon green tie tack, or maybe he does, it's your dad!

Step 3 - Bake according to package directions. Step 4 - When cool, have a grownup help glue on the tie or pin backs using hot glue. Then give them to your dad for a great Father's Day present!
