Father's Day Table 2013

My table is set for Father's Day!
My husband deserves a special table this year.  He and the boys have been working hard the last few weeks rebuilding our deck. They will be out golfing in the morning at their annual Hockey Father/Son Golf outing.  I plan to feed them when they get home, so they can go back out and work on building our deck.
So I wanted to give them a Man's Table!
 When I saw these Tim Holtz Belt Buckles - I knew I wanted to try making little belts for napkin rings. 
These are the supplies I used.  I cut a wrapping paper tube on a spiral slant so that it would kind of wrap around the napkins.  Then I colored it with a furniture marker that I had, and colored over that with some darker brown to try to give it a little leather look.  I attached the buckles with the rivet that comes with the buckles.  To finish them off I put three black dots and then punched tiny little holes at the ends of the belt. 
I bought the beer because it matched my color scheme.  It's called Third Shift - my girlfriend and I thought that sounded pretty manly too!  The boys are going to try it out tonight - now that I have all of my photos taken.
I did a no fuss, no flowers centerpiece.  I thought the drawing mannequins represented Tom and the boys pretty well- except for the fact that both boys are just as tall as my husband now.
I hope you are able to show some love to the person who was most like a dad to you this weekend!

In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and now to dishes too! I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name.
