We present a cool idea for wrapping a gift for dad. This is a shirt and tie gift bag made from a lunch bag and a piece of ribbon ๐๐. You can put any small gift inside, from candy to a key ring to shirt pins. We chose ceramic magnets, which we made together with third-graders. Check this post to learn how to make Father’s Day gift bag ๐
You will need
- Lunch bag
- Ribbon 2.5cm
- Scissors
- Markers – optional, but will be useful for drawing the pocket
How to make Father’s Day gift bag
Sometimes you don’t need much to create something cool and original. To make a gift bag for dad, all you need is a lunch bag and a piece of ribbon.
Making such a bag is quite simple, although if you haven’t tied ties before, you may need to practice for a while ๐
- Cut the top of the bag so that the edges are even
- Place a ribbon on the top of the bag and fold the bag twice
- Under the fold, cut the bag on both sides to approximately 1/3 of the bag’s width
- Fold the sides inwards to form a collar
Now you can start training how to tie a tie ๐ We used the four-in hand knot according to the instructions from Lancero.
- Pass the ribbon on the right around the one on the left to form the front of the tie
- Then put the end of the same ribbon under the shirt so that it comes out through the middle (where the neck usually is ๐)
- Tuck the end of the ribbon under the top loop.
- Tighten gently until you get a neat knot.
- Finally, cut the ends of the ribbons into a triangle to resemble a real tie.
Additionally, you can draw a pocket on the shirt – one filled with flowers looks cool.

Nothing gives more satisfaction than doing something yourself. I havenโt even thought about DIY as my hobby, Iโve just done different โprojectsโ when it was needed. Sometimes itโs a disguise for the Masquerade Party in kindergarten. Another time, cutting out the pumpkin and baking the witchโs fingers for Haloween. Or simply organizing holiday souvenirs. Now I decided to share my realizations with you. Letโs go it together!
