These Paper Glasses by Mr. Printables are Designed for Dads

— June 13, 2013 — Fashion
These paper glasses are an awesome and inexpensive Father's Day gift. Paper craft website Mr. Printables provides a free template on its website for this cut-and-glue creation. The simple frames can be printed on any color paper of your choosing to match Dad's favorite hue. Mr. Printables recommends tracing the templates onto a thick paper so that the frames can stand on their own.

The paper glasses fold flat and fit into a regular envelope, delivering a nice surprise from ordinary rectangular Father's Day cards. If you want to include a sweet message with this alternative card, you could write a secret one on the inside of one the arms of the glasses, or attach a tag to the frames.

This cute craft is a little geeky, but the novel frames are a fun way to show your Dad some love on Father's Day.
