This little origami shirt cracks me up. I hadn't made one before today so first I used some plain cardstock to try it out. Then I made this one out of the fun Jackpot Designer Series Paper and both times when I did the last step I just started laughing. Ok, so maybe I'm a little nutty but give it a try and see if you don't chuckle just a little.
Anyway back to the task at hand. This is more than just a funny origami poker shirt. You can also tuck some goodies inside. I used a medium cello bag and filled it with peppermint candies (because that's what I happen to have on hand, you can fill it with dads favorite). Then you just fold over the top of the cello bag and tuck it inside the shirt. You could also add a gift card to one of dads favorite stores or some cash.
If you're having a Father's Day get together you could put one of these at dads seat as a place card. The skies the limit I'm sure yall with come up with even more ideas.
Don't forget . . .

This is a cute card for all those dads who wear shirt's like this. I know I have a few in my family that would absolutely love this one.
