Molly's Sketchbook: Monogrammed Cuff Links for Father's Day

Cuff3

Dads, and men in general, are hard to make things for. Many craft projects are on the pink and frilly side. I was wondering what to make my own dad for Father's Day when the idea for these simple little cuff links came to me. They struck me as a good venue to get crafty without getting too fussy. 

My own dad would much rather be salmon fishing than attending a fancy party but I like the idea that when he does have occasion to get dressed up he can wear these unique homeade cufflinks.

As I was making them the thought also struck me that they would be great to make for a wedding. They are so simple and quick to make that you could do them for the whole groom's party in a day. If you'd like to make a pair for your dad, or groom, or usher, or even yourself, you can follow along with my Monogrammed Cuff Links Project Journal.

Happy Father's Day! --Molly

What a perfect gift! It's always so hard to come up with something for my hubby. The initials you used in your photo are even my husband's! It must be fate!

great idea! Why is it that most craft / sewing projects lend themselves to women and not men? We all use a lot of the same things, don't we?

This was such a great idea, I made a set as a 10th anniversary gift for my husband: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairbanksfancygoods/2554231207/

Molly;
Thanks for the snazzy links. I promise that I won't wear them fishing. I'll wear them with a French blue shirt and a white necktie.
