Bright colored or white plain T-Shirt; Cardboard; Dark Colored Fabric Paints;

Cut a piece of cardboard to fit inside the shirt (this is so the paint won't sink through). Now, simply use the fabric paint to write “Love You Grandpa” or any other message on the shirt!. Give it atleast 24 hours to dry (read the instructions on the fabric paint you bought).

Thick Paper, crayons or markers, and felt;

Fold a piece of paper in half to make a card. On the front cover fix a picture of you and paste a paper heart cutout. Cut out a smaller heart from soft material such as fake fur or felt and glue it onto the larger heart. On the bottom of the write, "You’re The Best Grandpa In The World, I love You." and in the inside of the card write a Valentine's message.

List simple memories from the past with your Grandfather. Type them, printed them out, and cut up each sentence/paragraph with those funny border scissors. Sort them by time, or into any groupings that make sense. Glue them onto card stock. Add drawings, photos or other mementoes related to the memory. Punched holes along the side of each page, put them together and tied them with a ribbon.

iv.Collage Photoframe:
Materials Needed:
Picture frame; Sand paper; Craft brush or small paintbrush; Paint; Collage resources; Glue; Craft sealant;
Method:
Lightly sand the picture frame to get rid of any rough surfaces or loose paint. Sanding the frame will get your surface smooth so your paint and collage pieces will easily stick to the frame. Use a craft brush or small paintbrush to paint your picture frame. It's best to do at least two layers of paint, allowing the paint to completely dry in between coats and when you are finished painting. Plan your collage theme for your picture frame. Think about what types of activities that your grandfather likes. You can decorate it with photos of your family major events. Gather the resources you need to make your picture frame collage. Get any stickers, cutouts, leaves, shells, pictures or anything else you might need to make the collage on the picture frame. Glue the items for the collage onto the picture frame. Press the item down firmly for a few seconds before moving on to the next item. You can slightly overlap the objects or leave a little spacing in between them. Smooth out any wrinkles or lumps that appear. Allow the picture frame to dry overnight to make sure that everything is completely dry. Apply a few coats of craft sealant over the picture frame with a small paintbrush or craft brush. Allow the sealant to dry completely in between coats and after the final coat.

v.Grandfather Cap:
Materials Needed:
Red acrylic paint and brush; Decoupage medium; Red glitter; Gold glitter fabric paint;
Method:
Paint bill of hat red. Let dry. Coat thoroughly with decoupage medium. Cover well with red glitter. Shake off extra glitter. Use gold glitter fabric paint to embellish the hat with a generous spot of paint. Let the paint dry. Add lines, squiggles, or any desired designs. Let dry.
