I went simple and cheap frugal for Father's day this year. I was having a difficult time getting my brain in the mood to celebrate after our horrendous mother's day, but I wanted to do something. I have the worlds best hubby and we both have pretty great dads too, so I had to let them know how thankful we are that we have them in our lives. I found the tags for the Padre's mugs on a linky over at Tatertots and Jello on a weekend wrap up party, but can't seem to find them again. If anyone finds them please let me know so I can give credit where it is due! They were too cute!
This was my first time trying glass etching, so it was a new experience that I now am addicted to. (The hubby thanks you Michael's for supplying us with yet another addiction!) ;)
The mugs I got at the dollar store, they are super strong and sturdy. Try saying that 3 times fast! It is hard to see the writing, so I will tell you what it says. For Clayton's dad I put "Grandpa" with a picture of an elk since he is an avid hunter. For my dad it says "K7BSU" with a heart since he is an avid Ham radio guy. I am sure that is the technical term for that too lol. Also my dad is right handed, and the father in law is left, so I tried to put the vinyl on accordingly. Of course, the vinyl was cut using my Silhouette to make the stencil. I filled them up with Reese's pieces to go with the tags of course. I think they turned out pretty stinkin cute!
