If you are looking for a fun gift to make for Father's Day using reycled materials- why not make a clever golfers survival kit using a recycled coffee drink four pack and bottles? I used products from
Marvy Uchida and this recycled frappucino case to make a gift for a golfer Dad.
DecoColor Markers
are versitle enough to color metal (lids), cardboard (case) and even ceramics and clay. I used black
Uchida Decocolor Markers
to color the lids of the bottles as well as the inside and the outside of the case.

To cover the outside of the case with the grass themed paper (Die Cuts with a View), I used a black marker to trace the sides of the case on the wrong side of the patterned paper. My case has irregular edges. If you are using a case with straight sides, you can simply measure the sides and use your
Uchida Paper Trimming Buddy
and straight edge to cut papers to measurements minus 1/4."

Next, cut your pieces out, cutting about 1/4" inside the traced lines. This ensures that your pieces will be slightly smaller than the sides of the case, which makes it a little more durable. To adhere the papers,
Marvy Mini Glue Tape Runner
is perfect.


To make fun golf ball embellishments, punch 2" circles using the
Uchida Clever Lever Super Jumbo Craft Punch,
. Next, use an Opaque Stix in Silver to place small dots on the circle, making it resemble a golf ball. Then, use your
Pigmented Artist Marker in black to outline the edges of each ball, which you need four of.

Fill the bottles with fun golfer treats such as golf tees, markers, candy or peanuts.

Stamp the names of contents using
Marvy''s Black Dyed Based inkpad and small alphabet stamps.

Use the mini glue tape to adhere the balls to each of the bottles, placing a generous amount of tape on the back of the ball.

I decorated the front of the case with the remaining ball and "dad" in foam stickers. For the remaining hole in the case, I decided to use a rolled up golf towel. A rolled up copy of golf digest would be a great idea too.
