Worlds Best Dad Trophy

This is a lovley little idea, which cam from the website Kaboose (the link is on the credits page if you want to go and have a look). It's simple enough for small children, but is something every dad would love.

You Will Need

Gold Pipe cleaners (if you think you'd use a lot I'd recommend buying a packet. If not you can always paint white ones gold)
Two Foam Coffee Cups
Small Box (You can make your own if you like or use a box you already have)
Gold Craft Paint
Black Paper
White Ink Pen
Glue
Masking Tape

Put the cups together at the smallest end and glue. Then seal the middle where the two cups meet with masking tape. If the cup has a lip underneath, trim this off.
Cut the pipe cleaner in half and shape like cup handles. then poke them through the sides of the trophy in the right places (on the top cup).
Cover the cups with masking tape, which you will then paint gold. You will also need to paint the box.
When they have dried cut a piece of square card and write on it with the white pen. This can be whatever you want, but in this example it would be Worlds Best Dad. Stick the card to the box and the cups to the box (the end without the handles)

Once it's dry you can give it to your dad.
