Father's Day Jacket Pocket Card

Create a jacket lapel complete with a place for -- what else? -- a pocket square. Choose card stock in a color to coordinate with the accessory.

Tools and Materials 
Pocket-Square Template
8 1/2-by-11-inch printer paper and white and colored card stock 
Tape 
Craft knife 
Cutting mat 
Bone folder 
Ruler 
Double-sided tape 
White gel-ink pen 
Pocket square

Pocket-Square How-To 
1. Transfer template to colored stock: Print and cut out the template, and tape it onto the stock. Cut a 1/8-inch-wide slit for the pocket. Cut around the outline. Using bone folder and ruler, score along dotted line; remove template. Flip card stock over. 

2. Fold down lapel; secure with double- sided tape. Draw "stitching" along lapel edges and on pocket with gel-ink pen. Write a message. Flip jacket over. Place double-sided tape along edges. 

3. Flip over again, and tape the jacket to a piece of white card stock that has been folded in half widthwise. 

4. Insert pocket square.
