Directions

 Aloha Shirts - Follow the folding instructions to make the Aloha Shirt. Position two teeny buttons below the collar on the front of the shirt. Glue in place. Optional: You can cut out a small pocket shape from the printed paper and glue on the front of the shirt. Set shirt aside.

 Dad Card - Fold the cardstock in half to make a 5.5” x 5.5” square card. Take a 5” x 2” strip of washi paper and tear along the length of one side. Align the straight edge to the fold of the card and glue washi paper in place. Tear a few smaller strips and glue to the front of the card. Place the Aloha shirt on the front of the card at an angle. Adhere shirt to the card with double stick tape.

 On the inside of the card, you can add a strip of the printed paper you used for the shirt. Add strips of washi paper and write “Happy Father’s Day!”

 Grad Card – Fold the cardstock in half to make a 5.5” x 8.5” card. Center the 8” x 5” printed paper on the front of the card. Adhere to the card with double stick tape. Next, center both the 4.5” x 5.5” and 1.75” x 4.5” cardstock mats on top. The smaller Mat should be on the bottom and leave a space between the mats as in the sample. Adhere mats to card.

 With the alphabet stamps, stamp emboss the word “Congrats!” onto the 1.25” x 4” printed paper. Center onto the smaller cardstock mat and adhere.

 Take about 12” of  mini fern or other garland and drape around shirt like a lei.  Position shirt onto the top cardstock mat at an angle and adhere. Spot glue the lei to hold it down if necessary.

NOTE: A larger shirt can be made by using 8.5” x 11” paper and adjusting your folds
