Well not quite, but the containers sure are useful.
I put together this in about an hour. It makes a great way to present caramel popcorn, or other homemade goodies to a friend or family member.
All you need;~ Strawberry or other plastic woven-type basket
~ Decorative paper
~ Ribbon
~ Glue
It's simple enough to make, just cut the paper to the width and length you'll need to weave around the basket. Glue ends together.
Do the same for the ribbon. You can also add stickers, dried flowers, glitter, anything your imagination wants. This would also make a great rainy day activity for the kids as little to no supervision is required.
Have fun =)
Is your dad or hubby into projects? Would he be considered a Geek? If you answered yes to these questions (or even if you didn't) I have the perfect Father's Day gift.
Geek Dad by Ken Denmead (a self-proclaimed Geek) is filled with 30 original, fun and fascinating projects Dads (and moms) can do with their kids. I was totally in awe of these cool ideas and found myself wishing my dad was still with us so we could try them out. I especially like the 'Light-up Duct Tape Wallet" - so cool.
Here is what Geek Dad has to offer:
Make You Own Geeky Games and Crafts - you've gotta try "Electronic Origami"
Geeky Activities for the Great Outdoors - "Fly a Kite a Night" sounds like so much fun.
Awesome Accessories - "Light-up Duct Tape Wallet" is here!
Geeky Kids Go Green - A Huge trend now, so why not make it fun?
Build/Learn/Geek - "Wi-Fi Signal Booster" Sound interesting? It's in there.
Geeky Potpourri - "Exploding Drink Practical Joke" I'm so trying this one.
Geek Dad not only offers 30 awesome projects, each project comes with a detailed, easy to follow, step-by-step instructions, an approximate cost, difficulty, duration, reusability and the tools & materials it will require. Plus, there's projects suitable for really young children (4'ish) to teenagers, so nobodies left out.
Geek Dad retails for only seventeen dollars (a real bargain). However, I'm giving away my copy. All you have to do is leave me a comment and I'll do a random drawing on Sunday June 21st.
Good Luck!
Whoa whoa whoa!! A duct tape wallet that lights up!! Electronic Origami!! Since I am a geek dad, I think this book cries out to be in my collection. Just sayin.

This is awesome! My husband is a computer programmer (geek!) and he would love to have some more suggestions on fun stuff to do with the kids :)
