Do you know a dad worthy of an award?! Create this shiny, gold trophy for Father’s Day with recycled items from your home. This craft is made easy with step-by-step directions below!

WHAT YOU NEED:

• 2 foam coffee cups (*paper cups can also be used*)

HOW TO MAKE IT:
1. Turn cups upside down and trim bottom lips to make them flush.

2. Glue the bottoms of the two cups together.
3. Tape the square box shut by covering the entire box with masking tape.

4. When glue on the cups have dried, wrap a piece of masking tape around the middle where the two cups meet.
5. Cut the pipe cleaner in half and insert into each side of one of the cups as trophy handles.

6. Cover cups completely with masking tape.
7. Paint masking tape on both the trophy and the box gold. Let dry.

8. Write “Awarded World’s Best Dad” on the black construction paper with white paint pen. Glue to the front of the box.
