Do you remember the tie-dyed tee shirt cards we made for Father’s Day last year? Well, we used the leftover paper towels from that craft to make these cards.
Originally, I was going to use the paper towels to make another neck tie card, but we ended up making bow-tie cards with homemade paper, so I came up with this idea for the dyed paper towels.
Popsicle cards it is!

To make our popsicle Father’s Day cards, you’ll need:
Supplies:
- paper towels
- liquid watercolours
- medicine droppers or pipettes (you can also use a paintbrush)
- scissors
- glue
- popsicle sticks
- card stock & markers
How-To:
Making these cards couldn’t be any easier!
- To dye your paper towels, drip watercolours all over them like we did here. Note: If your watercolours are too dark at full strength, dilute them with a bit of water to get light, bright, popsicle colours.
- When your paper towels are dry, cut out your popsicle shapes.
- Fold a piece of card stock in half to make your card.
- Glue two wooden popsicle sticks to the front of the card, and glue your colourful popsicle over top.
- Write a “COOL” message for dad!
Happy Father’s Day to all the “cool Pops” out there!
