This printable [Father's Day card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fathers-day-collections) is a paper-made craft that opens just like a toolbox. The mini toolbox card is a cleverly crafted piece of paper art. The exterior of the card is modeled after a red metal toolbox and opens to reveal a bunch of [tool-shaped letters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fusion-driver) that spell out "Happy Father's Day!"

The 3D Toolbox Card template is provided for free on the Mr. Printables website. Although this awesome card may look a bit intimidating to make, Mr. Printables has done most of the hard work for you, and assembly of this [paper craft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinkr-toolkit) only requires you to fold along the dotted lines and do a bit of gluing. This awesome DIY is a great craft to make with your kids, and the perfect card for a handy or typography-loving Dad.
