Father's Day Paper Weight

I follow a blog about dollar crafts called Dollar Store Crafts.  Recently they shared an idea from Crafts by Amanda about a paper weight fathers day gift.

This weekend we were able to use that idea to make a father's day gift for our dad as well as Grandpa.  The instructions are found here if you want to do this yourself.

First we gathered rocks from our yard.

Then we made the dough, rolled it, and flattened it right onto the cookie sheet.

I made the letters for my kids to follow with their rocks to be sure the letters were big enough and fit in the space.  I wanted to be sure the project turned out readable so I did some of the work for them in this respect.  For our grandpa we made one that said simply "You Rock" since there isn't really room for "Grandpa Rocks."

Then we baked our dough creations.

Simple and Easy
