Recycled Golf Tee-Jar for Dad....

Hello Friends,
Welcome to another Challenge over Decorate to Celebrate and today's challenge is all about Party Theme projects about DAD!! I saw this super CUTE idea in a magazine when I was at the book store a few weeks ago and loved it.


My husband and son LOVE to play golf and so I thought this would be a great gift for hubby.  This is also a fun and PERFECT gift that your kids can make for dad, uncle or a special male for Father's Day!!  I hope to see your projects for this challenge and don't forget to enter them HERE for a chance to WIN!!

I used a recycled mustard jar for the golf TEE's.  My husband uses red tees but you can of course use any color.  The golf ball was glued using the glue gun.

I wrapped the jar with the Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper#122349. Make sure you use sticky strip to make sure the DSP stays on.  I also used Scrappy Mom Stamps for the"You're Tee-riffic" sentiment and Dad is a retired Stampin' Up! stamp.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Stamps-  Paper- Letters to Santa DSP#122349, scraps from stash, Inks- Rasberry Ripple, Basic Black#126980, Tools-  Big Shot#113439, Circle #2 die #114526, 3/4" Circle Punch#119850, Paper Snips#103579, Accessories- Stampin' Dimensionals #104430, Sticky Strip#104294, Twine
