Best Dad Trophy Materials: • Cardboard – White – A4 – Pack of 100 – 16288 • CleverPatch™ Glue Dots – Permanent – Pack of 300 – 15173 • CleverPatch™ Triangular Maxi Coloured Markers – Pack of 10 – 16523 • CleverPatch™ Junior PVA Glue – 250ml – 10364 • CleverPatch™ Fine Glitter – Gold – 145g Shaker Tub – 15148 • Other Materials Required: pencil, scissors, scrap paper and templates (pg 8-9)

An award that Dad will treasure forever!

1. Print the templates on pages 8 & 9 onto white cardboard. This will provide a nice sturdy surface for decoration and construction.

2. Decorate the templates using coloured markers. Make the trophy nice and shiny by brushing a thin layer of PVA glue onto the surface and covering with gold glitter.

3. Hold the template up and use a scrap piece of paper to catch any excess glitter so you can tip it back into the tub. Allow the template to dry.

4. Cut out the templates following the solid black lines and then mountain fold along the broken lines. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. You may also wish to decorate the back side of the trophy at this point.

5. Construct the plinth for the trophy to sit on first (the rectangular piece). Fold the shape of a box and use glue dots to attach the tabs in place.

6. The trophy has 3 sections. Begin with the smaller of the curved pieces. Bring the sides together and fold the hexagon up. Use the tabs and glue dots to hold it all in place.

7. Use the same method to contruct the larger section. Join both shapes together by aligning the hexagons and hold in place using glue dots.

8. Create the trophy handles by curling the ends of the strips around a pencil (curl the opposite way one end) and use glue dots to attach them to the sides of the trophy.

9. Finish Dad’s trophy by attaching the tabs on the small end of the trophy to the plinth using glue dots. Fill the trophy with Dad’s favourite sweets to let him know he’s the Best Dad around!
