Celebrate Father’s Day the Most Special, Creative Way!
Father’s Day is a special day honoring fathers, fatherhood, and the influence of dads in our society. It was first celebrated in Washington on June 19, 1910, but it wasn’t until 1972 that President Woodrow Wilson turned it into an official national holiday in the U.S., alongside Mother’s Day. Although it is celebrated on a wide range of dates all over the world, many countries, including the U.S., observe this special day on the third Sunday of June.
It was said that this tradition wasn’t completely accepted by the public at first. However, over time, most people acknowledged the amazing role of fathers in their families and their kids’ lives. Let’s give our dads something unique and unforgettable on this special day!

How to make a Trophy Card for Dad
Step 1:
Fold a paper into half and draw the trophy (single pattern) aligned with the closed end. Trace the trophy pattern on the half folded paper by keeping one side of the trophy aligned with the closed side of the folded paper.
Step 2:
Cut out the traced trophy pattern. Also trace and cut out the borders and handles for the trophy card.
Step 3:
Attach the border cutouts along the top and the bottom sides of the trophy card pattern with glue.
Step 4:
Attach the handle cutouts on both sides of the trophy card pattern. Trace and cut out the text base and star patterns from colored paper of your choice.
Step 5:
Attach the star cutout on the cup part of the trophy card and the text base on the bottom part of the trophy card. Write down your text to complete the craft. Once the glue has dried, write a special message inside the card.
Give Your Dad a Award!
Wondering what exactly you should put on the trophy?! Your dad is unique in his own way, so your message should come from your heart. But, here are some wonderful phrases that can get you started:
- Best Dad Ever
- Most Understanding Father-In-Law
- Super Dad Award
- Coolest Grandpa in the World
- Most Athletic Dad
- #1 Dad

It doesn’t matter if you are not so artistic and if it’s your first time exploring crafts like this one. It’s the thought that counts after all, and it’s the message that makes it even more special!
