Directions for Father’s Day Tie Craft for Kids

1. Print out the free tie templates on white cardstock or art paper.

You’ll need black glue for the next step. You can actually buy black glue or easily make your own. Grab a bottle of white liquid glue. Take off the top and pour out a bit. Add some black paint to your glue bottle and stir with something long and skinny (like a coffee stirrer or skewer). Keep adding black paint until you’re happy with the color. Place the top back on your glue bottle and you’re ready to go.

 

2. Trace over each line on the printed ties with your black glue.

3. Let the black glue dry completely.

 

4. Paint inside the dried glue with watercolors. You can use liquid watercolors or a watercolor palette.
