Father’s Day: I’m So Glad You’re My Pop! Boutonnieres

Published on by neisha2 Comments

This week all of our Young Women met together to make Father’s Day gifts for their dads.  We had two craft projects: an “I’m so glad you’re my pop!” boutonniere and a “You’re tie-riffic!” card.  This post features the boutonnieres.  I will have a follow-up post with the cards. (For a sneak peek, scroll down to the end of this post.)

The girls loved this craft and when I came home, my six- and nine-year-olds made their own, too! These would be fun for Primary kids or Activity Days girls as well as for Young Women to make for their dads .

Our wonderful Young Women’s President, Shauna, and our fabulous YW Secretary, Ashley, asked me to help them create some gifts for the Laurels in our ward who are graduating from high school.  Shauna and Ashley put together some adorable candy-filled light bulb candy jars from Hobby Lobby and wanted to attach tags with the following quote from Presiden Thomas S. Monson:

Your future is as bright as your faith.

I created some two-by-four-inch tags with the quotation in subway-art style with a bright yellow gradated background. I think they came out great and work perfectly with Shauna and Ashley’s gift. Continue reading “As Bright As Your Faith Tags” →
