Homemade Key Chain
This useful gift will remind Dad that he’s loved every time he opens rhe front door. This craft from Kitchen Counter Chronicle is best for tweens to make. Go to a craft store and buy a big bag of beads with letters, a bag of colored beads, lanyard or jewelry hemp, and a key chain assembly. Then come up with a catchy phrase and draw it out on paper before you begin. Remember not to make it too long so that it fits in a pocket.
