Faux Grass Pen Holder with Father’s Day Tags

Faux Grass Pen Holder for Father’s Day or other gift giving. Plus free tags to print out.

It’s time to start thinking about Father’s Day gifts. My kids have always loved making and giving gifts to their dad, especially things he can put on his desk at work or at home. Since he loves golf the kids usually want to get him something golf related. I saw this faux grass at the craft store and had the perfect project in mind for Father’s Day. Why not make a Faux Grass Pen Holder ? I’m pretty sure he is going to love it! Do you have a golf lover too?

Here is what you need to make the Faux Grass Pen Holder:

small crate (Target)
faux grass (Michael’s)
golf tee
golf ball
pen
pencil
paint (acrylic)
sponge brush
gift tag printables (print below)

This is an easy project for the kids to make. Start with painting or staining the crate. It doesn’t take much paint so even a little bit of his favorite color will do. Seriously the hardest part of this project is waiting for the paint to dry. I chose a very light blue to mimic the water hazards found on the golf course. We only painted one coat so the wood would show through a little. I think it would look great with a dark stain too.

Put the faux grass in the crate. Then place the golf tee between grass blades and place the golf ball on top. You might need to cut the grass piece to size or add more faux grass depending on the size of your crate. Stick the pens and pencils in the grass. The grass is pretty stiff so it holds them up really well.

Father’s Day Gift Tags

Once you download and save the printable you can print it any size you like. I printed them in 2 different sizes. Use these printables as gift tags or on scrapbook pages. I have more ideas to share with you in a later post.

To make them into a tag just punch a hole in the top and add baker’s twine, yarn, or string.

Tie the tag onto the crate or another gift and write a message on the back.

I think this is going to look pretty awesome sitting on his desk. It’s a useful and thoughtful gift the kids can make for his special day.
