Make Dad a catch-all for Father's Day

Filed Under: kids, Crafts, gifts

dime by dantekgeek on FlickrFor as long as I can remember, my grandpa collected dimes. Dimes, he said, because nickels were too big and he needed his quarters for spending. Father's Day is just around the corner, and that's just enough time to make Dad or Grandpa this homemade catch-all from Disney's Family Fun for all of his pocket change. It seems like dads always have stuff in their pockets, which makes this the perfect useful, yet sentimental gift from his favorite kids.

Family Fun recommends using an apple, acorn squash, or baseball for casting, because these are both the right size for this project and have a surface that's easy to cast. You can get creative with your catch-all, however, especially if the person you're giving it to has a special interest.

Once you've casted your object, it will need at least 24 hours to dry, so don't save this project for the last minute! When it's complete, you can decorate it with acrylic paints to make it a one-of-a-kind gift for that special guy.
