Fishing Ornament Gifts For Dad Steps 1-4

Step 1: First, remove the ornament cap and feed a couple of the worms through the hole.  Try and get them to coil on the bottom of the glass ball ornament.

Step 2: Next, use the pliers to VERY CAREFULLY squeeze the fishing hooks in, so that the lure fits through the ornament hole.

Note: USE CAUTION!  Fishing hooks are EXTREMELY SHARP!  Cut the ends off if you have a pair of metal cutters or if working on this project with children.

Step 3: Gently push the fishing lure through the opening of the glass ball ornament, leaving a piece of metal out sticking out of the top.

Step 4: Feed the top piece of metal from the lure through one of the ornament hook holes in the top and bend it down so it is secure.  Carefully replace the ornament cap.

Step 5: Next, cut a piece of ribbon and tie it through the ornament hook.

Step 6: Now, press the top of a bobber until the hook comes out of the bottom and hook the bobber onto the ornament hook or ribbon.  Continue doing so for as many bobbers as you want for your fishing ornament.

Step 7: Finally, in order to make your ornaments cool gifts for dad, it’s time to make them personal.  Using the black paint marker, write a special message that is meaningful to the recipient.  Here we personalized as a gift for your guy.  Let your children write their own personal message to dad or grandpa and sign their name.
