Father’s Day Tool Wreath

Dads are special people. Mine {especially before I was married} was my go to for any kind of fix it related question. In my mind, he could/can build/fix/design anything I could/can envision. These days, I may go to Mathlete first but I often chat with my dad about any project too. There have definitely been many a phone call from me to him while I am standing in the middle of a Lowe’s aisle.
So, of course, a plain old gift or decoration just won’t do to recognize him on Father’s Day. Instead, I combined the gift and decoration into one
In our house, there are two things Mathlete is almost always looking for when are working on a project: his screwdrivers and paint brushes. Now, in reality, I am probably the reason those things are missing because I’ve used them and not put them back BUT we won’t tell him that…mmmkay? Since those are hot commodities in our house, I felt like it was probably the norm for most houses. Plus, I am sure my dad wouldn’t turn away an extra screwdriver or two 🙂
So, it just made sense to build this tool wreath around them.
First, I started with a wreath form and wrapped it in every man’s favorite thing
Once my wreath was wrapped up tight in its denim, I started adding tools using a combination of zip ties {another man favorite} and glue {don’t worry…I only glued the metal part of the brush}
I used a zip tie for the hanger at the top too.
H wanted to make her daddy a wreath too so I turned her loose with another wreath form. She was in love with the tape so we ended up making the banner out of white tape.
