DIY World’s Best Dad Trophy Supplies:

• Yellow plastic cup
• Gold card stock
• Scissors
• Glue
• White card stock
• Black marker
• Tissue paper

How To Make A DIY World’s Best Dad Trophy:

Cut out two trophy handles from the gold card stock. They’re basically two curved “7” cutouts.

You may have a little trial and error with the handles to get them to a size you like.

Fold an equally-sized piece of the top and the bottom back. Add a drop of glue to each fold.

Affix a handle to each side of the cup. Let the glue dry.

When the handles are dry, flip the cup over and cut out a circle from the gold card stock that’s the size of the top of the cup.

Glue that to the bottom of a cup to make the trophy’s base.

If you wanted, you could write the year on the bottom after the trophy’s base dries so you can remember what year your child made this Father’s Day trophy.

Cut a shield from the white card stock.

I freehanded this, but you might want to draw a shield in pencil on the white card stock first before you cut it.

You could also take a piece of printer paper, fold it in half, and cut out the shield. Then, trace that shield onto the white card stock. Cut it out and you’ll get a perfectly mirrored shield.

Color a black edge around it, then write: “WORLD’S BEST DAD!” in your neatest handwriting (or in your child’s most adorable handwriting) on it.

Glue the shield down to the front of the trophy. Let it all dry.

Fill the homemade trophy with dad’s favorite wrapped candy, gift cards for dad, drawings, whatever fits in a cup. If you are going to use candy, I suggest wrapped candy so it doesn’t melt inside your trophy and make a mess of your hard work.

Take a piece of tissue paper and stick it in the cup to hide dad’s treats. Flare it out a little, then give dad the trophy.
